Can honestly say I've never seen a Ford interceptor (or any other cop car) with anything but a dark grey or dark blue interior. I find it interesting/odd that a school division requires their own police force.

Crown jewels? I'm not sure about that, but these two have the most meaning for me. AMT Matador, and what I believe is a Monogram 911 Carrera RS. These are the only two car kits I recall my dad ever building. And now they're in my collection. As for my own stuff, I'm pretty happy with how these turned out.

Good to know! I might pick up some of that, as I thinking I'll end up building my kit in these colours. There is a Tamiya paint that is similar. Grey with a hint of blue in it. Will have to do a spoon test before I start spraying the kit itself.

It's a little more blue when in the sun. Customer finally picked it up today.

I've always liked these Thunderbirds, and have this kit in the stash. Your paint looks excellent!

If it's like a Porsche 911 Turbo, then one is the engine exhaust, and the other is from the wastegate from the turbo.

Doing an excellent job of polishing a turd! I tried the Airfix BMW M1. It's embarrassing how bad the kit is. Exactly what you've described above. You have a lot more patience than I had, and have put far more effort than I was willing to. And it's turning out great! Maybe I should take the M1 out of a box and go for a second round with it.

I wish I had kept all the builds I had as kid/teen. Even the ones that rolled off a shelf or were damaged, and then became parts for other builds. All of it went into the bin and some point. Even after trying to get back into building in the early 90s, I tossed all of those as well for whatever reason. Never again.

Looking great! Definitely good to see threads and stories like this. My daughter tried building with me, but unfortunately lost interest after three of them. All hope is not lost though, as she is eyeballing the 95 Chev K1500 I have parked right now and is wondering when we're going to work on "her truck." She turns 14 this summer and will be getting her learner's permit, so I guess I had better get started!

Edmonton area, checking in.

I went with silver when I did my Buddy Camaro. In hindsight, I think officially the car is more of a light blue. I've since done a wash on the wheels. Should take some new pics.

Hey there. Mods are aware, and Dave is looking into this. The fight against the ads is constant and ever-changing!

Something else... The A&N kit depicts a truck with Ram Boxes. Here's what those look like, as seen on a 2021 Ram 2500 Laramie I delivered to a client last week.

And that's about it. If there's anything specific I missed that you want to see, let me know. I'll have this truck here until the end of the week. Keep in mind, I do not have access to a hoist, so I'm not lifting it in the air or taking the wheels off for pics.
