Excellent looking build of an iconic Corvette! If that taillight is painted with a "soft" paint like Testors Silver, I might suggest you take a toothpick with a point dipped in warm water and with a little work you could probably chip-away that painted dot in the center. I'd start with warm water before going to something harsher like a paint thinner... just my thoughts. Still a well done build!

I am looking for (2) of the steel wheels found inside the 1/25 AMT '32 Ford Coupe kit. These same wheels may have been inside some other older AMT kits as well. I am in Illinois... thanks!

Thankfully Old Trucker shipped me exactly what I was looking for... the parts are soaking in my chrome stripping solution right now. Thanks all, and thanks to Johnny specifically!

Anybody have any pair of 1/25 Weber carbs similar to the ones shown in my picture? They could be from any 1/25 kit and do not have to be chrome.

Revell Half Cab Bronco
'70 Grande replied to eran_k's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
A terrific looking build! I'm curious about how that 1/2-cab looks inside the bed... especially the back-wall of the cab. I have the first issue of this kit with the full roof and have wondered how different the 1/2-cab looks. If you could post a pic showing inside the bed more to satisfy my curiosity that would be great! Also curious if you know where you got those wheels and tires from? -
A question for Mr. Goldman - Re Round 2
'70 Grande replied to iwantmodels's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I remember reading someone's opinion a long time ago that the '66 Buick Skylark was the "sexiest" of all the GM A-bodies in that year and I've always agreed with that thought! -
Could only find pictures for one of my ancient Mustang builds... this one was originally-built in the late-1970's I think, and rebuilt back in the late-1990's.

Your shipping address is all. I'll remove the pieces from my chrome tree but keep some of the tree intact to support these pieces when they're in the hands of our US Postal Service. -

Chrysler Monte Carlo Concept Hawk/Moebius mashup 1:24 scale
'70 Grande replied to ea0863's topic in Model Cars
These are the kind of projects that really catch my attention! Beautiful execution. I bet there was a lot of work in determining how these components were all going to come together, and you did a phenomenal job making it happen! -
80's IMSA Mustang
'70 Grande replied to Chinacar's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Great looking build! I have one of these IMSA Mustang kits in line to start building some day in the near future... other than the old decals, did you have any other challenges when building this kit? -

I am looking to trade for the following front suspension pieces, radiator and firewall pieces from the 1/25 AMT/Round2 1967 Ford Mustang kit. These same pieces can be found inside the '67 Shelby GT350 kit and/or multiple reissues of each of these kits. Lower front suspension Piece #20 Front wheel spindles Pieces #21 & 22 Tie rod Piece #23 Radiator Piece #49 Firewall Piece #45 These pieces can be fresh-from-the-tree or from a built-up if in good, restoreable condition. I am not interested in a complete kit; just these parts. I have a fairly extensive parts box to trade from; I am located in Illinois. Thanks!

Mike, I'm sorry. When I read your post title, I overlooked the word Daytona and thought you were looking for a Charger kit. For that reason, I thought your request was too vague, and I responded in what I thought would be a helpful way. I was wrong for posting what I did. I'm publicly offering you my apology here Mark

Land Rover
'70 Grande replied to dust collectors's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Excellent build! I'm just starting this kit and have been doing a bit of 1:1 research. The kit's instruction book says to paint the engine block a metal color but I've also seen 1:1 pics showing a large variety of different engine block colors. Was curious if anyone has any info about 1:1 engine block colors for Land Rovers of this era? In some of my research, it almost looks like the factory painted the engine block in the same paint color used on the body... is that a possibility? -
1/16 scale? 1/24 scale? 1/25 scale? 1/43 scale? 1966? 1967? 1968? 1969? 1970? 1971? 1972? 1973? 1974? 2005? 2006? 2018? 2021? I'm not trying to be a "smart-a__" here, but your description doesn't really "say it all". Please provide as many details as you can whenever making a Wanted post... I don't think it's possible to provide too much information about what you are seeking... and pictures are extremely helpful, too! Thanks

Everything looks terrific on this build, but I especially applaud your spark plug wiring... it looks so 1:1 and I will be referring back to your engine pic every time I start wiring an engine for one of my own builds!

Upcoming MPC Reissues - '79 Nova and '73 Cougar
'70 Grande replied to Justin Porter's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Really like the new box art, but one thing that looks a bit "off" in the illustration to me is how close that front bumper is to the body and grill... the 1/1's front bumper extends forward quite a bit farther than it appears in this nicely done artwork.
