   We reworked several of these for fire department duty, and I personally had several that I scrapped for the various heavy duty parts they had. You got this one perfect....................looks absolutely great!

   I have since, thankfully, gotten a few original MPC ones, as well as the Revell one. That Monogram POS really butchered it. It looked pregnant...............with the spawn of the devil!

   Worst kit that I remember is the first 1969 Camaro that Monogram came out with. I can remember awaiting that kit with high hopes, as the original MPC '69 Camaros were hard to find. When I saw it, I was tempted to use it for target practice. It had the worst rendition of the beautiful '69 lines that I have ever seen. It almost looked like a caricature. Horrendous. If I remember correctly, I actually used it to start a campfire, still unbuilt in it's box, and I don't think it even burned very well.

    Charles, your builds are always an inspiration. Can't wait to see more! And as several have said, those old girls are an iconic design, used in everything for many years!

    Well being a bit of a hoarder, I would never toss out the magazines. I have every Scale Auto Enthusiast magazine, except issue #2 and a few of the Contest Annual issues, and every Car Modeler. I would love to have a set of Model Cars. I use them for reference, inspiration, and simply to enjoy reading. They do sell on eBay rather well, as I have sold many there, when I was thinning my multiple issues. Your Dad was a VERY special guy!

    Fantastic products from MAD, and they are dimensionally perfect, and assemble just like kit styrene parts. AWESOME!

    Yeah, we took the tunnel, at 291 KPH.............about 185 MPH, (their top speed is 331 KPH),.....................smoother than any wheeled vehicle I have EVER ridden in. I didn't drive in Paris, but we took another train to Caen, and rented a car there to drive around Normandy. It was a trip of a lifetime! We climbed to the top of the Arc de Triomphe and watched the traffic for a bit. There are 12 separate roads that converge at the big roundabout around the Arc. One of our tour guides told us they tried to install traffic controls many times to manage the traffic but eventually gave up. It is an absolute hoot to watch 12 different fully overloaded roads spill their traffic into the same rotary with zero traffic controls at the same time. It is amazing, everyone trying to occupy the same spot at the same time!
