First, thank for the compliment. Second, I like your assessment of these kits. As a kid, I found these kits almost impossible to build. As an adult? They’re difficult, but with time and patience they can turn out okay. Another one of those kits, rumored to be coming back from Atlantis, is Revell’s old ‘57 Nomad. With my building abilities now, I’m looking forward to tackling that one again. I may be able to build it with the working tailgate, working. And the doors too! Third, the Revell of Germany’s Contacta Liquid Special, “Universal liquid glue.” The stuff seems to work great. In fact, I’m due to buy another bottle soon. It stinks to high heaven. A little slow in setting up. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. Dries clear and solid, leaving nothing on the chrome from what I’m seeing. For regular, non chrome parts, and chrome parts where I have good mounting points after scraping away the chrome, I still prefer to use regular glue/cement for styrene. In my case, Tamiya bottled liquid cement, Revell’s Contacta Professional, and good old Testors’ tube “Cement for Plastic Models.” In serveral kits, I’ll use a half a dozen different glues/cements. And Revell’s Contacta Liquid Special has become a welcome addition to that arsenal.

Thank you Carl.

Thank you.

Thanks for your kind words. I don’t think the kit has ever been considered bad to build. It’s accuracy has always been the question with this one. I know it not accurate. But I still like it.

Thank you Doyle. By the way, I hope your in a safe part of Kentucky.

I like the Sand Crab variation better. But it’s a little harder to find.

Thank you for your kind comments gentlemen.

You maybe right.

Okay. I made a mistake. I seem to be making a lot of them lately.

This whole thing becomes more and more offensive. I’m very very offended by the above response. I’m not okay with be abused in the way I am here. I made a mistake. People are making it out to be a capital offense. Please stop.

I know history of the horn. Your missing the point.

That’s the point. It’s a mistake, or blooper in more ways than one.

By the way, how does a “Monster Funny Car” even work? It’s neither fish nor fowl. “Super Dirt-Racing Funny Car”? Is there such a thing in real life? I’ve never heard of it. It makes no sense.

Yea, but the model Roger was talking about was a GTX. Not a Roadrunner.

I haven’t gone and watched yet, but thank you for the link.

Thank you for your understanding Bill. I just found the way the cancellation was worded a little offensive. Especially when I see my name along with it.

Whoa! I’m sorry, but I too find the above horribly ugly. No offense meant to anybody who likes it.

The rusting one is what I need for my recently acquired AMT “Diamond In The Rough” kit. Any chance of making an easy link to that one?

I remember seeing an article on the Flajole Forerunner in an old copy of a Mechinix Illustrated magazine from back when the car was new. I always thought it was kind of cool. I’m glad it still exists, and is in good shape.

Beep Beep horn?

Now the title says “cancelled due to offending of rules”? Man, you guys know how to continue rubbing a guys face in it. How much more am I going to be punished for this? Forgiveness is is just not be found here I guess.

Thank you.

Why thank you, gentlemen.

I too got Palmer kits for Christmas. Mainly given to me by elderly female relatives who knew nothing about model cars, other than I like to build them. And you could get two Palmer kits for the price of one AMT or MPC. And what kid wouldn’t be more happy with two model car kits, vs one? Argh! They were well meaning old bats. And I built the kits, as ugly as those kits may be.
