What's the latest Revell North America News
Mr. Muppet replied to Phildaupho's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Weird. It's up on the website: https://www.revell.com/products/cars/muscle-1964-to-1974/ -
Where to find: 1935-36 ord wheels and tires.
Mr. Muppet replied to Kyle Krueger's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I think Norm Veber at Replicas and Miniatures Company of Maryland sells a set like that. -
Testors Acrylic bottle paint
Mr. Muppet replied to R.D.F.'s topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Tamiya Acrylic tends to be a little thicker. Sometimes a lot. -
Revell 1968 Chevy Chevelle SS 396...........My take
Mr. Muppet replied to MrObsessive's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Pretty nice looking kit. Thanks for sharing, Bill. -
Last I checked with him, Norm doesn't sell the wheels anymore, but he is working on getting them back into production. Your wheels look great, btw, Curt.
-
The '68 El Camino Street Machine definitely has those, and they're in the '67 Impala Street Machine, too, but I'm not 100% sure the fronts and rears are different sizes in that one.

Mike, I can get you one before January. You got PM.

Crafting up decal sheets(for mostly late 70s, 80s & 90s models so far)(Updated: Feb 1st)
Mr. Muppet replied to echoxrayniner's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin
I concur with the fellas who posted above about a 70 Charger sheet. I've gotten some stuff from Keith Marks, which worked pretty nice, but it wasn't made for that kit so the alignment on that stripe was a bit off. Would be great to have someone make an accurate sheet dedicated to the kit. -
Lowering Front Suspension on AMT 60 Ford
Mr. Muppet replied to Len Woodruff's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
You could also try cutting off the spindle itself (the plastic peg that goes into the wheel back. This might have a different name but I'm super tired right now) and attaching a piece of plastic or metal rod or tubing of equal diameter slightly higher and/or elongating the holes in the wheel backs a little bit. It's more of a long shot, but maybe custom lowered spindles from other AMT kits from the same era might fit in place of the Starliner spindles. Not sure if there are any other options besides cutting up the stock spindles or scratch building brand new ones. -
Lowering Front Suspension on AMT 60 Ford
Mr. Muppet replied to Len Woodruff's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Flip the spindles upside down, maybe? -
I like the detail on the MCG heads a lot, but if building a Revell based flathead, they are a little big for the block. The Revell 40 Ford Street Rod has Edelbrock heads similar to the above and the '48 Ford Custom Coupe has finned Navarro heads.
-
The details on this car are spectacular and your work looks very clean. I also have a couple of sets of the Pegasus hubcaps,and would love the chance to get resin copies of your hubcaps, as well, especially considering that The Modelhaus has effectively shut its doors. May I ask what tires you're using?

Mr. Muppet replied to Bernard Kron's topic in On The Workbench
You nailed that patina. Gorgeous. -
Very nice. Did you fill with superglue, epoxy, Bondic, or other?
-
That's pretty cool, Mark. Very realistic. Excited to see more.
