  1. When I am not arguing about Revell. I build them! Keep building my friends
  2. It was a Hot Rod issue and I think I have it somewhere. Back then, any thing was up for grabs when it came to Low Riding! Lowered on Supremes, Montgomery Wards Whitewalls and Tuck N Roll interiors and a sweet paint job. Simple.
  3. Not the first, but one of the best! http://youtu.be/Ldyx3KHOFXw
  4. At that point it is Caveat Emptor and its on you if you buy it. Done!
  5. Somebody out there has one up for grabs and I am going to find it! Or, will R2 send me one if I send in the coupon?
  6. Then don't buy it, but if you do, don't expect a custom paint job out the box and then cry when it looks like one of Earl Sheib's flunky painted it! Stupid is buying it and expecting something great! Especially something aimed at kids who don't care and will most likely throw it back in the box after they mess it up. Then you can buy it for a $1 at their parents yard sale!
  7. That is the goal! Now, where can I find that Cocoon offer?
  8. Then strip it and paint it yourself. Simple.
  9. Well, that fine finish might be why Aoshima kits are quite a bit more than Revell kit. Revell pre painted kits are quick builds and aimed at younger builders. Aoshima are almost shake and bake type kits for the older set.
  10. Only MPC, AMT and Aurora made HUG kits, and the Aurora kit is in 1/32nd scale. From what I have heard, the kit was supposed to really be the Plymouth Dealers Barracuda that was driven by Tom "The Mongoose" McEwen, but, for some reason, it was not done and turned into the HUG car. As you can see, it is really close to the kit, with the exception being that it is a '65 and the kit is a '66. The car was later driven by Fred Goeske, who took over after McEwen crashed the car in a freak accident. As you can see, the HUG has a stock front end and the engine sits farther back, as where the PD car has the layout we see in the kit. Engine right behind the driver and separated by the large firewall. The PD car was supercharged and the HUG was injected. So yes, you can use this kit to build either car with some mods and a donor body!
  11. Very nicely done box art builds!
  12. So are you trading or just asking for opinions?
  13. Great save on this one! Nice and clean!
  14. Dang! I don't want to buy this kit again just for the figures!! I guess I could always trade it off again.
  15. Yes, but this time they took the figures out of the Snap Together and put them in the full detail kit! Ta dah! New kit!!
  16. And yet sadly, Jo Han was one of the first to go under. So, where does accuracy get you? Bankrupt! At this rate, Revell should be around forever!
  17. Model companies should stop doing pre painted kits and just stick to plain color or molded in color. I never had pre-painted snap kits as a kid, but I did use my dads spray cans he had in the garage! Had lots of FORD blue cars for a while!
  18. Yes, i need one, or two
  19. BTW, are you going with whitewalls or the kit wheels and tires?
  20. Sorry, but do you mean Deuce, as in two, or Duce, like Benito Mussolini?
