One advantage of the USPS apart from price, is that, mailmen tend to know the customers by name, not so the other companies. So, if there is an error in the address, you will most likely receive the package. If the other companies see an error, the parcel will be returned.

I collect all scales of die cast but mostly 1/18. I also recognize that painting is the hardest part of model building but I'm just happy with the 'poor' or not so poor results. It's much easier to just collect die cast. But it can be pretty expensive too. Many of mine are over $100 a piece.

Why!?

Thank you all for the nice comments. But I thought nobody was going to like them as the title says, "You will not like these". 🙂

As a kid I think I could build one of these in just a couple of hours (if that). Drag racing cars were my passion. Not one sticker was left. I loved the racing stickers. I started painting models later as a teenager.

I did these maybe 4 years ago. Not a drop of paint. Did them like that just to reminisce my childhood (1970s) builds. They were essentially glue bombs. I build a little better now.

I had that set as a kid. Make the ramps too.

Those side exhaust look perfect. Back in their days they were something special. You are a great painter too.
-
Really like this one. The front wheel drive system of these cars is very interesting.
-
What a great build! I think I saw this dragster in real life. I live close to the Don Garlits museum in Florida and I saw so many drag racing legends there and I know I saw a lot of his dragsters.

Love all your builds. Would like to see a picture of all of them together on the cabinet where you keep them. Like a lot the stance on the Eliminator.

Love it. The Flying Tigers. Been wanting to get one of these myself.

Did you know there is a counterpart for this car? The General Grant, in blue, and an American flag on the top instead.

I really like this one. One of the best you have done.👍

Looks great. Do you plan to do the Black Trans Am too? -
You are right. I got one too but I added the red numbers (just vinyl stickers) . Just did some flocking to the seat.

GMP 1988 Mustang GT 1/18 Wish I had a better camera.

Got tired of the blue one and did some painting. Not completely real life accurate but I wanted this color.
-
Does anybody know if modeltruckin.com went out of business? The truck decals web. Never mind. I figured it out. They are here now: https://modeltruckers.com/

Is this a real car or a model? That engine looks too real!
-
The blue one is here. Pardon the ugly photos. Painted gray interiors. They come in black. Swapped the tires also.
-
Funny, I did the same thing on the tail pipes but I used a Sharpie. I found photo of an engine of another die cast model and I think I might do a little detail on mine. Not much can be done but a little gray might help.

The real life car.
