Karl, probably bombers or fighters about 10" long or so- scale is not important- can be larger or smaller- probably WW2 era would be best- thanks for responding!

I am looking for junk airplanes mainly for shapes. Planning a project to build a late 40's to early 50's idea car.

If you still have the PT109, what is its approximate length in actual inches? I see the hull as a great starting point for a larger cruiser than the AMT 3 in 1.

I seem to recall Don had a body for the Phantom Corsair, also a Duesenberg boattail speedster. I don't know if he produced any similar bodies. Can anyone supply info about these, maybe even a copy of his product list? This would at least be a cool piece of memorabilia. Thanks to any and all......

Beautiful old school custom, love the paint color!

Pat, that's a great little camper trailer! Looks small enough to be towed by an MGTC or a Mini!

Great color- I'm a sucker for maroon or dark red- looking forward to more photos.

Thanks all for the info.

So far, the Elmer's clear glue is holding well, including being transported on two car rides of 40 miles each way. I didn't keep track of the drying time- maybe the next project!

Does anyone know if a conversion kit was ever made for the AMT 1936 Ford to build a 1935 Ford?

Thanks all. I discovered several of my photos were saved as bitmap format. I am working on resaving them as jpegs to post.

Avoid high and low temperatures, high humidity or any other moisture.

Some years ago I built a Midcoast Models dory kit. The instructions suggested a yacht tender but- since I grew up in Gloucester, Massachusetts, I decided to build a working long line dory instead. I have a copy of a book about the schooner Adventure, the last long line fishing schooner, with a lot of reference photos. Their last trip was in 1953, same year I was born. The first picture is a typical build- the others are my build.

Guys, try Micromark as another source. I never use the smaller bits in a power tool- only with a pin vise. The one I use has a 4 jaw chuck and a sliding collar for tightening. This was part of my dad's watchmaking tools so probably dates to the 40's. Some of my drill bits date back that far too- maybe better quality back then?

Thanks for the info- I will try it.
