dimaxion Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I've been saving all year to get this one . A 1961 Mercury Comet . I did get it last Saturday . It is excellent . A little flash , one place needing spot putty . I've soaked , cleaned (electric toothbrush using Comet Scouring Powder) , no really Comet . Adhesion promotor , first primer surfacer . The body work begains . I hope to thve this completely painted before the snow flies . Good Luck . This is my second buy from him , I'm a happy Camper . I bought the Lacqure Paint for this and a '61 Falcon in the '90's from MCW . I just did not locate the Comet until January . Happy , Happy , Joy , Joy ! Thanx ..

Eshaver Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 John, I actually know ken an his wife personally . Ken is a "NO NON- sense kind of a guy . He's not jovial in a crowd , infact , he's usually all business all the time . He really puts out a quality product and I can see it every time he's made a transaction at shows . Buying a resin product from Bandit resins means you're getting a first rate product ............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george 53 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I've got at least 4 of his bodies and I've yet to find a flaw! FIRST RATE caster and vendor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are great people and definitely an asset to this hobby. Hated that I missed the CKM show last month, wanted to get a couple of things from him.

Chuck Most Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I often say "The only gripe I have about (insert resin caster in question's name/business here) is that I can't afford to buy ten of everything they cast." Kenny's one of those casters for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalobill Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) Bandit Resin's '53 Studebaker post coupe is absolutely perfect, and it's priced reasonably. It'll require less prep than the body in AMT's '53 hardtop version. I've had mine for 2 or 3 years now, and it hasn't warped a bit. Guess it's about time for me to finally build a replica of the first car that I purchased (in 1962).

Elliot949 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I have dealt with Kenny for over 10 years... I have over 12 of his kits and a ton of his parts... While I have not meant Kenny in person I have exchange hundreds of emails, IM's, and phone conversations with him and he is truly a great guy and an ambassador for the hobby... his product are second to nobody and the subject matter that he chooses in spot on... It is very apparent that his true love is for the dirt track circle burners but it is proven he also loves cars... Of course this is my experience with Bandit Resins and Kenny but for me he get 3 thumbs up!!!... LOL... Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill J Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I have several of Bandit Resins bodies and all are without a flaw. I would buy anything they sell. One of the very best resin casters and great to deal with, every time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragracer Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I bought his '64 Comet P/M body a year or so ago, it looks great & I didn't have to wait long for it to arrive. (Now if I can just get something good going financially I might be able to get to building it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
