MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Thanks to Matt T for a great trade!
  2. Repeat info, please disregard.
  3. It actually says "Hauling Henry". This kit and several others had the kit and a can of AMT pearl spray paint included in the box.
  4. I've been to Tulsa, Detroit and Florida in our '41 Ford. Plus a couple of states for various car doings in our '55 T-Bird and '62 Starfire convertible. Only a little overheating issue with the '41 when we got to Texas. That was fixed with some side of the road metal bending to make a duct to move air through the radiator better. After we returned I made really nice pieces painted to match and never had any hot running issues afterwards.
  5. Oh, go ahead and do it anyway. You'll feel better! Besides that's what screw bottom kits are for, right?😁
  6. Anyone here from Wisconsin, the south eastern part of the state in particular? Also curious how many are also involved with a local club.
  7. The Pactra spray 'namels had a pearl coat green that looks similar sprayed over black.
  8. Jeff Shobowski got out of the model accessory business years ago. Last time I talked to him he was getting into RC aircraft and heli's. He said he had no interest in getting back into producing model stuff, unfortunately. That was over ten years ago.
  9. The current Boss 302 kit has it's origins in this kit and most every part interchanges.
  10. Other than obtaining an original kit I have to agree with other posts that Harts is a good starting point. I've never had any issues ordering from him, my past transactions went well.
  11. I have a number of Grex airbrushes including the trigger style. They work great but are a bit more fiddly through the cleaning process than some of my other air brushes. They do have excellent customer support from my experience as well and of course work great. The AMT Galaxie was painted with my trigger action Grex using automotive paint.
  12. Slotted Matchbox H.O. slot cars are not compatible with common track systems (Tyco,AFX,etc...) The rails and therefore pickup shoes have very narrow spacing which do not work on anything but Matchbox track.
  13. Steve, are those Prehistoric Scenes yours? Those are some of my favorite kits from my misspent youth and still have most of them. As an adult I don't think I've purchased a kit based on solely due to the box art however I do buy kits for my collection specifically for the art.
  14. It's a 1935 Ford. Note the body and roof were carried over to 1936 but the chrome '33/'34 style of the top of the grill along with the hood vents give it away as a '35.
