Good job. It looks nice.

Lovely Cyclone.

Very nice. Much better than I expected. The color really works well in this case.

Very nice job. It looks great.

Very nice. Love the color.

Despite me not like it. I can admire the job you did on this car. Its a beautiful build.

Very nice. I like it.

Sweet.

By the way. Can you tell more about the "sealer" you used on the decals. And how you did it.

Very nice. I sometimes like the look and simplicity of those old kits like that.

Very nice looking Beetle. I'm impressed.

Mine too.

That's what made Carol and Tom the best. Right to the end.

I don't why. But, I found the above video cathartic. I've been there. Done that. I like the fact that his shoelaces were untied. Thankfully I haven't done anything like that in years. But, I do get it. Or did, at least at one time.

What was the theme of the thread? I surprised, for normally what you have to say generates some interest.

Thanks again for the advice. And if I do need additional help, like if the gauge decals do not work, I will contact you. Looking forward always to seeing what your up to next. And by the way, I do watch your videos on YouTube also. I like the work you do. And respect the knowledge you have on Ford's specifically.

To go along with the Revell '40 Ford Standard coupe kit. I bought from another vendor on eBay the correct dash board decals for the kit. The instrument decals Revell includes for their kit are correct for the '40 Ford Deluxe models. Not the Standard models. So there is a vendor out there offering correct ones. Even though it will probably be though to see when the kit is finished. I had to do it.

If your not in a rush. Do what I do. I buy a lot of my paint on eBay. Prices are good. And I've had pretty good service from just about everybody I've ever dealt with on this. If you buy from somebody in this country, 99% of time you'll get whatever you want in less than week. Hobby stores overseas? May take a month or so. And I've been very lucky with buying paint on eBay. I've always gotten what I've ordered. And always in perfect shape. There are things I've purchased where I've had problems. But, never with paint or glue. Knock on wood!

What is it?

Because of the discussion here, Model Mountain received an order for two models from me this morning. One is for the Revell ProModeler '40 Ford convertible. The other for Revell's first issue of the stock '40 Ford Standard coupe. I wanted first issues of both models after seeing what you guys had to say here. And looking at other info on web. They each had the right parts for what I wish to build. Both will be built basically straight stock. With the exception of maybe using some of the speed equipment for the engine under the hood of the convertible. In general I like my models to represent factory stock cars one would buy off the show floor. This does create a slight problem with the coupe. Since the interior in the kit represents the Deluxe interior. Convertible no less. But I can over look this by saying that somebody really wanted a Deluxe coupe, but liked the front end of the Standard model better. And had Ford Custom build one them one. This will also be my excuse for leaving the grille and headlamp rings unpainted, in chrome. I like stock, factory built cars. But I'm not anal about it. By the way, I like the fact that the Revell stock '40 Fords come with the Columbia two speed rear ends. This was a Ford authorized accessory back in the day. And from what I've heard and read a very nice feature to have on a vintage Ford today. '40 Fords can cruise easily at 60 mph. But, they are much more comfortable doing it with a Columbia rear end. It's cool that Revell saw fit to put this in their kits.

Very, very nice. Of course. Because of our discussions in another thread here, today I ordered the first issues of both this kit, and the '40 convertible. Your having a bad influence on me! Keep it up.

Very beautiful Ford.

Thanks.

I'd love to see your comparison of AMT's and Lindberg's '40 Ford coupe kits. Your comparison of IMC's and Revell's '48 Ford coupes was great. Do you have a link to take us to your '40 comparison?

About a month ago I got Revell's recently reissued '57 Chevy Black Widow kit. One that came with a Bel Air two-door sedan body in it, rather than the correct 150 body. I went to Revell's website to request a new body. It took them exactly three weeks to get me one. Which I think is very reasonable. I requested a new decal sheet for my Revell '32 Ford three-window coupe well over a year ago, and never got them. Finally I bought a set on eBay. But, overall I've had good luck dealing with Revell's customer service. Three to four weeks being the norm.
