2nds on Bag balm, Udderly smooth, theres also badger balm in a small green tin..... I have done the white cotton glove (michael Jackson style) with any of the afore mentioned balms / creams, or good ol vasaline..... what don't have white cotton gloves you say...... slather vasaline one your hands and slide em into some old socks your getting ready to throw out.... works wonders you can also get little finger cots ( look like mini condoms Literaly) you can put neosporin or any ointment on the fingertips and use a cot works well I'm allergic to latex tho so i try not to do that method too much........

i have many mpc boxes with these tolkens on them i also have gotten a few boxxes off flea bay with tolkens cut out and MIA i wish i was up on this era i was just a small baby and a kid in the 80's to small for models yet......

very cool

would probly look cleaner smooth ray.......may follow your lead exhaust exit holes out rear very cool the actual monroe car according to box art pics appears to have a side exit style pipes....

wish i could get that much done in 1 year

heres a pic of the jeep honcho i grafted a amt plymouth duster firewall onto due to its lack of detail..... now it has a nice master cylinder a place for heater hoses, and a wiper motor plus other busy details for the eyes......

never thought about that mite be onto something here....

i have ya covered pics to follow clarification none of the parts trees i have have a seperate firewall there is not one what you see is "supposed" to be a firewall many older revell kits are this way very lackluster detaling on firewalls usually just flat plastic......

no firewall detail at all as is the case on many older rev monogram kits my soloution will be to graft in a 99 revell cobra firewall for some detail for the eyes at least a nice brake booster anyways or a place to put one......

very nice pete! I always loved the hood ornament on that kit i've got the ford 427 from the revell thunderbolt kits stuffed in mine

yes it does seem photobucket does act dumb once in awile.......

trying to get some work done in the engine room! not sure what type of configuration to use for car 3 and 4........ obviously standard BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH, not the kit supplied aod units

I like it! love the red Dig the single stripe to one side even tho i'm not a stripe guy....... I have 2 of these in my stash i need to bring to light......

that is the interesting point why one company, not the other supposed "big" company(s) It did seem for awile you got nice goodyear eagle tires in some of the revell kits or at least tires that were far better than no namers..... yeah blank sidewalls is a drag on our little cars...... no wonder i like getting hold of tire junklots from fleabay just to i can get older "goodyear" tires in my parts bin, not like i had enough to begin with I know mpc must have had an exclusive thing with B.f. goodrich back in there 80's days as pretty much all mustangs foxbody kits gt incorrect b.f tires all other kits i've known to have from the 80's fiero's exp's etc all had various sizes of bf tires....... those are the natoriously famous tires for burning marks melting into plastic kit parts and glass.......

i look forward to seeing where it goes

I've taken notice to all the nice re- isseue kits from round 2 coming back most if not all seem to have the sought after famously wanted "pad printed" sidewall tires...... so why is it that round 2 can Pad print factory names on the sides of their tires whereas Revell/ Monogram no longer do this at all from my understanding....... I have a older first run of the 99' cobra and i want to say it had goodyear stamped on the rubber sidewalls i'm for sure the most recent repop/ run of the same kit does not have that plain jane no noname tires Its very dissapointing on revells behalf as the newer mustang kits 05' gt and all kits since then could really benefit, the tires that come in the kits are Ho-Hum and don't look as great as they could another great example one of my favorite offroad truck tires has been in many monogram revell kits over the years the "Goodyear" "Tracker AT" tires originall issued kits like i want to say the molded in blue cj- 7 is old enough to have the original tires with "goodyear Tracker AT" molded onto the sidewalls of the tires..... the old jeep honcho kits same thing sidewall detail..... (i'm certain that the pinkpoison/ mr deadwrench) re issue has the blank sidewall tracker tires still a nice tire yet lacking the quality of the originals alot of amt's kits over the years have had the "goodyear" or "firestone" molded into the tires ...... does this just mean that amt (now round 2) does a better job of obtaining permission to used these names, or sign licencing agreements? and why revell does not do anything with their plain boring genaric tires? just wanted to know what the community here knows on thos matter its quite interesting in my eyes as an avid styrene modeler guess this turned into one long rant..... yeesh soap boxxin' in

not that i don't have enuff projects going on at one time...... at least these all have a good bit o' progress so far.....
