Where is it being ripped to shreds? I'd like to see what is said and if it is justified or not. I think it looks pretty good but I'm not very familiar with the subject.

I could be wrong but I believe that is the molded color of the plastic. I have the same kit and remember it being quite shiny sans paint

The problem with self imposed exiles is they can be reversed at any given time.

That didn't last long, though longer than expected.

Looks like Art deleted his comments. I guess some people don't like being proven wrong. SMH

Seriously man. You couldn't tell that Paul was joking. You couldn't tell Matt was joking? Do you have any sense of humor at all. Also unless you just got in to the hobby yesterday you already know Tamiya doesn't do vintage American kits. Honestly I doubt you would want them to as the American kits they did try all had accuracy issues. Mellow out and build a model or something. Those guys didn't post what they did to piss you off and if a little good natured ribbing pisses you off that much you may want to limit your time on the internet because there is a lot more of it out there.

That's pretty much what I said..."All your purchase does is give the hobby shop the data they need to determine what and if they should buy Revell kits in the future. Again those kits will already be paid for and if they don't sell it's the hobby shop that loses out not Revell. "

You guys realize that buying a Revell kit from a club member or ebay doesn't directly help them right? Unless you buy directly from Great Plains/Tower/Hobbico, they have already been paid for the kit and don't see any of your money. Even if you buy from a hobby store Revell/Hobbico have already been paid for the kit. All your purchase does is give the hobby shop the data they need to determine what and if they should buy Revell kits in the future. Again those kits will already be paid for and if they don't sell it's the hobby shop that loses out not Revell.

FWIW There are 3D printed scoops available now. I know it doesn't answer the question of where those came from but it gives you an alternative source now. https://www.shapeways.com/product/BF4A5XPKT/1-25-wedge-scoop-for-4-barrel-carbs-x2?optionId=63512518

You almost do. Take the Revell Snap '15 Corvette and do a little tweaking to the body

Yeah what he said! Jeff is one of the really good guys!

Have had trades with Kris Morgan & aurfalien(Brian Krusic). Both smooth as silk. Would trade with them again any time, and you should too
