That's kind of what I had in mind except with a Model A and a Lincoln V-12. That Road Agent kit might just do the trick.
-
Kind of figure it would be "bloby" 😁 I could use the Vette or the Prowler, but I was hoping to use something from that era with a rear trans front engine setup

topher5150 started following P-38 drop tank dimensions, Tempest kit, Did they ever make... and and 1 other
-
Is there any Tempest model kits out there that have the rear transaxle, or any other cars that a transaxle setup like that?
-
So this is technically a question about a part that I'm designing at work. I need to put a tube with a 90* bend into another tube that has the same bend at the top kind of like old Flathead headers. I'm trying to figure out how I would make the cuts to the two different tubes.

As long as every thing looks proportional I think I'll be ok. I saw a Volvo Amazon gasser on pintrest and would like to try building it -

That might just work, will 1/25 scale parts be to noticeable on a 1/24 scale car. -
Is there any model kits of the Volvo Amazon in standard sizes? Not sure what year that car is, I'm thinking early to mid 60s?

Moving with the collection

fortunately for me we aren't moving to far so I plan on just putting them in boxes and making as many trips as I need. Other than that I'd say loosely wrap them in bubble wrap, use packing between the models and stack them on the top of the heap -
So I bought the 1/16 1984 Corvette, everything on the car is in great shape except under the drivers door, and the horizontal part of the "B" pillar. The rocker panel, and the horizontal part of the "b" pillar bow inward. I'm thinking that I'll have to jerry rig some kind of jig, but what about making the plastic a little more malleable? I can't get pics up just yet, my phone only takes selfies right now.

what do you think of them? I know I should have asked before I bought it but $35 for a sealed big scale kit I couldn't pass it up. I think I've only ever seen the 1/8 Revell, but never the smaller, 1/16 MPC. Any one have any pics?
-
all that work and I could have just bought the body convertible body

well it is a race car

P-38 drop tank dimensions
topher5150 replied to topher5150's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That's the drawing that I've been working off of -
Is there any detailed drawings out there for the P-38's 300 gallon drop tank? I've seen some out there that give the overall shape, but no detail as far as the flange that mates the two halves together. I was thinking about making one in 1/8 scale using Big Deuce parts, and some 3-D printing.

especially for a Michigan state trooper, I always thought they were all blue.
