Basically a Lotus 7 replica.

Nope. In my world, I like things to look new and clean.

Tell us more about the Dune Buggy GT kit. What kit is it? Who makes/made it? What scale? And any photos?

What is a 1/12 Caterham?

I'm not buying it 100%. Especially since a lot of parts like the red taillights have reappeared. I also can not see spending money to modify a tool to the degree your talking about if your doing it for cost cutting measures. I'm willing to bet some modifications came because the Corvair Funny Car kit used the same body. I'm guessing that's maybe more the case on lost body parts. Side windows, extra lights, etc. But the engine and chassis parts look basically the same to me. I'd need to see the clear tree from the '65 Corsa kit, vs the latest reissue to buy the retooling of the fan shroud story. I maybe wrong. It wouldn't be the first time. But, I need better proof.

What proof do you have? And why would they do that?

The clear cooling shroud has always been part of the '65 - '69 AMT Corvair kits. See the instructions from the '65 Corsa kit below. The earlier AMT Corvairs, '60 - '64, I believe were all curbside. So no engine or cooling shroud.

Looks pretty good.

Beautiful.

I knew I shouldn't have opened up and looked at this one, with a name like "Twisty the Clown."

Very nice. I too like the color combo.

It looks terrible. Which in this case good. I like it.

Interesting. I've had no troubles with the several I've built.

When is 1/43 day?

Great suggestions. I would have never thought about the tape. I'm going to give that one a try first.

Does anybody have any idea how to remove decals, if soaking them in warm water does nothing to them? Will something like rubbing alcohol, or something else help?

Interesting. I did not know that. I wonder where I can get a blacklight? And how expensive they are?

Pretty darn nice.

Looks good. Just needs a cherry on top.

Wow! It looks great.

Just checked. My 1/25 scale Hot Curl resin was made by Norm Veber's Replicas & Minitures of Maryland. Again, a very nice resin kit.

I'm still waiting for the three above to be reissued. Hot Curl is still the coolest. About a year ago, I got a resin version of the 1/25 scale Hot Curl that with the MPC Model A woody/pickup. Made by Maryland Replicas and Minitures I believe. A very nice addition to go with the last (AMT/Ertl) reissue of the Model A woody/pickup I built. Completing the kit.

Very nice. I especially like the paint.

Very nice job, on one of favorite old kits. You did a great job detailing an old classic.
