  1. Fame, Fortune, Women and the Exotic Locals Oh, you meant styrene models! I like cars.
  2. Current Charger generation was introduced in 2006, and now you noticed? LOL!
  3. Just learned last night that they are at Pegasus! So they should be out soon.
  4. From what my guy told me, they just hit the docks.
  5. Just heard they are on the docks at Long Beach. So stand by!
  6. Holy smokes! What a journey! LOL! Great write up! Thanks. I just wish they would make a whole new tool for this car.
  7. Some kits have absolute blobs for engines, like 70's MPC kits, and I will only detail the bottom it it is going to show. But some kits, mainly newer cars, have really boring engines that I really do not care about. So, either way, I am ok.
  8. Wow, that came out nice! I once asked the late Al Marcellus about Willy's driving technique about holding onto the side of the car, and he told me that Willy had not clue he was doing it! It was just a reflex to hold on from sliding around in the seat! He had to show Willy a picture of him doing before Willy realized what he was doing! LOL!
  9. Wow, how did I miss this two year ago! Very nice build of a very special car! Weird fact about this car is that the chute pack body was done first, then SPE had to make a chassis to fit it! And the only guy at the time that could fit in it and drive it was Larry Dixon!
  10. I think they are mostly carrying things they can sell for the S.T.E.M. school programs. Mine had the Rocket sets, aircraft, ships and stuff like the turbine kit. But no cars.
  11. Oh, the streamliner! I remember someone posting an old ad from a drag magazine from back then advertising those bodies, but I have never seen a pic of one in actual use. Some came close, but nothing like that.
  12. Well, the Badman is 1/24 vs. 1/25 AMT kit. And the Monogram kit was never really that accurate to begin with. Plus given that it was also an optional convertible no doubt made it worse for the Monogram kit.
  13. Yes it was https://www.motortrend.com/features/mopp-1006-1939-fiat-coupe-altered/
  14. It wasn't until I got older and learned more about cars that I found out that the engine was bit off. But I was a kid and didn't care, it just looked awesome when I was done!! And as an adult, I built it pretty much out the box, warts and all, simply because of the memories!
  15. Sorry man, but this sounds like a fever dream
  16. Time to save that money
  17. I think we are all snagging those Fords from HL! I just picked one up today, and it was the only one they had!
  18. I have them all, but the Der Guber Wagon and Meter Cheater are glue bombs. Luckily I have extra parts from picking up stuff over the years! Hey! Atlantis! Dig them up!!
  19. Huh, where does it say Pre Order?
  20. Tower Hobbies shows it available, yet everyone else says coming soon. https://www.towerhobbies.com/product/124-nissan-fairlady-240z-street-custom/TAM24367.html
