MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. The original kit had green tinted windows and did NOT include a sleeper..... There was a mail in offer to allow the builder to buy the sleeper separately.... The second release did have clear windows and did include the sleeper.... IIRC both releases 1 and 2 were issued as T-500....
  2. Tower Hobbies shows a May release date.... That tells me there is another load on the way....
  3. I had it on 150 on Dish.... Later there was a basketball game on.... They flashed at the bottom of the screen that the race had resumed, and I could not find it on Dish... I had to switch over to Expressvu and caught it on there....
  4. Agreed.... It was a good race right to the finish.... Ticked off with the coverage though.... After the rain delay, I had a heck of a time finding which channel it was on....
  5. I scored 100%....I grew up with all these cars... Don't ask me to do it with todays lookalike BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH....
  6. Jason....What did you use to do such a fantastic job here?... I've never had results like that when polishing used wheels....
  7. Nice...Very Nice.... But, now you have got to do a convertible... Bill...
  8. It's been a busy day today... 1) My second Revell Cuda....Good Chrome, and oddly placed Decals in both... 2) A second International 4300 kit to go with the one I bought at the Macomb Show a few weeks ago... 3) Another AMT Flatbed Trailer kit.... 4) And finally an AMT Re-issue 56 Ford Victoria....I bought my first one in 1969... Heading over to a Hobby Shop Closing Sale tomorrow to buy myself an early Christmas Present.... Later...
  9. While I do enjoy the results of the building process, I just can't stand the IDIOTIC PRANKING that go's on, on these types of shows.... I believe i'll .......PASS.......
  10. Hi Rick... I like your idea of an updated version of Sonny's Truck... In model fantacy world he and Will could have expanded and took on brokers... All KW's mind you... W-900, T-600, Cabovers, Whatever... Go for it... Bill....
  11. This story has been told numerous times over the years... The remaining molds were ravaged by irate employees because they were not being paid... The inserts for most of the tooling was sold for scrap by them... The sad fact is there is just not enough left of what once was the famous Johan Model Company to even consider these days... It's over !!!... Bill...
  12. With all the Tractor kits being re-issued, what we really need are trailers... 1) Great Dane Reefer 2) Great Dane Dry Van 3) Livestock Trailer 4) Allied Moving Van 5) almost forgot, Auto Haulaway Trailer And just because it has been needed for so long, a brand new 53 ft. Reefer/ Dry van...
  13. I saw that too... I also saw that Tom fixed the problem you had... Why did you decide to bitch about it here?... Bill...
