Rob, Thx for the input. That's what I thought.

DR Kerry. Great awaiting your confirmation. Where in SE WI. I'm originally from Milwaukee County.

I am looking for the tail lights from Revell 49 Mercury coupe. These are not stock Mercury, but resemble the 49-50 Lincoln tail light, as pictured. I believe they are in Kit 85-2860, part number 103 R/H & 104 L/H. Not sure if the lenses are separate or built in. If separate I need the lenses also. I show I am in Thailand but have an American shipping address for ease of shipping. Thank you.

What happened? Where's the finished product?

Has anyone seen this car in 1/24 1/25? I think Russian called a GAZ 11-73. I can find it in 1/43. But once I saw it advertised in 1/24. Maybe a typo.

At first I wasn't even going to view it. But you did a helluva job there. I'm very impressed.

I use a surgeons scalpel handle with scalpel blades.. I'll never go back to exacto stye handles.

Love to see the 4doors. Any make. I would really like some 1930-40's 4 doors. I built a resin bodied 41 Ford 4 dr. Used a resin body from a 1948 with the front group from a 41 woody. was both 1/25 scale but the resin body was a full 1/8 in wider than the front group. had to some cutting and glueing and bondo and....

Thanks for all the replies and advice. Maybe time to get the sandpaper out.

I guess we still don't know. Castrol Super Clean is not available where I live (Thailand). I can get sodium hydroxide (lye), but now am afraid to use that. They are made from acetate plastic? I'll have to try to research that. Thanks for all the replies and open to more.

Tom, Hahaha....Thanks. At least now I know NOT to use it.

My fore fingers are so strong after years of this hobby. I'm proud of myself. Used to be I would get sand kicked in my wrists...But now those bullies leave me alone when they see my forefingers.

I have acquired 56/57 Lincoln Continental Mark II promo car. It needs paint stripper. I usually use brake fluid. Is that safe to use in that era promo car? If not, what should I use? Thanks.

I also am in the market for the Buick Caddy type wheels.

I think this is a really cool build. Something similar might be done in plastic. https://www.rodauthority.com/news/swell-longroof-rhd-1962-kustom-jeep-from-down-under/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=swell-longroof-rhd-1962-kustom-jeep-from-down-under
