T.G.I.F!

That looks correct! Thank you for not putting whitewalls on it!!

Very cool! More details, please!

Nope!

Refreshing to see one built stock! Nice!

Wow! I never noticed that! But then again, I have only seen that Mav kit once before!

Too cool! Nice!!

Great trades with Blunc and Kennyboy! Thanks guys!

Congratulations, Brett! You are normal! I outpaced my building to buying ratio a long ago! I went from builder to hoarder, er, I mean, collector!

One of my all time favorites and not some photoshop job! And right behind this one is this

Thanks Steve, I am going to do a resto on it! Now, should I do the Keep On Truckin' theme or the Trucking USA West Coast Van?

The BSA is a Bandai die cast kit and it is in 1/20th scale

Just came off the bay. Now the dilemma, resoration or leave as is. I do have a set of decals for it in case of resto.

It was a model and it was in sometime in the mid 90's

We used to gather kits and send them to the troops overseas a few years ago. We got a really nice letter thanking us and Skip Samples for getting them together and sending them. They even sent Skip a flag that flew over their base in Afghanistan. They thanked him for all his support and looked forwards to more shipments, but, they had one request. NO MORE NASCAR KITS!!!! Yes, they too had run out of ideas of what to do with them!! Maybe they should have given them to the Taliban to force their surrender! LOL! C'mon! That funny right there!

Those vac-u-form kits are cool! I need to keep an eye out for one.

I am sure you can mod the body to do the Ivo Chassis conversion. He ran two cars with this body. Main differences where color and length Sure, the bodies are a bit different, but, it is a start!

Here is some good reference material! http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=34145 The 429 Ford Shotgun engine was originally built to compete against the Chrysler 426 Hemi. It was great for NASCAR, but, a pain for Drag Racing on Nitro. The Pro Stock guys made it work.

Very cool! All we need now are some scale Gorilaz figures!

It is a small world! Howdy Chris! Yes, Pedro Infante planted himself and a B-24 in a rather unfortunate manner.

ebay is like crack for model builders and collectors!

It is obvious, it is a Sting Operation!

There is a reason some reviewers use the phrase "Almost Tamiya like" when they write up non Tamiya kits. Tamiya has set the bar pretty hight when it comes to kit design and execution.

Gee, Slugger, maybe you should learn how to read and comprehend yourself. The question from the other thread is: "l was looking at some out of production kits and l was shocked at how much some are. l have never spent but 40 bucks once. l just can't spend alot on a kit no matter how much l want it. Was wondering how much other builders might spend..??"

Crazeeee! Nice!
