  1. Most likely the AMT kit is modeled after a Chris-Craft model called Racing Runabout. Offered from the late 1940's through the mid-to-late 50's. There was also similar pre-war Chris-Craft model called the Deluxe Runabout offered in the 1930's. But, looking at the boats online, I'd be willing to bet AMT's kit is the Racing Runabout.
  2. Bad angle, but the fourth piece down could be the rear bumper off of an Imperial.
  3. Lacquer. Mainly Tamiya. In spay cans. I avoid enamel in almost all cases.
  4. The MPC/AMT '69 Camaro is very old school. Yet I still like it. The more recent AMT '70 Camaros are very nice kits. I really like those.
  5. Wow! That's quick thank you. I look forward to getting it.
  6. That's a good one TJ.
  7. Your a mean man, Bill! ?
  8. I don't remember the exact problem you've mentioned above. But, I do remember the kit having serveral areas where were fit was an issue. It's not one of AMT's better kits. Great subject. Only fair in execution.
  9. I see that now. What I did not see is the '71 Cyclone kit you mentioned you offered. If your '65 Wildcat is as good as it looks, I may have to order the Cyclone down the road.
  10. Stop putting that picture up. It's going to givie me nightmares. And the Marx Bros. They are by far my favorite comedy team. Followed closely by the Three Stooges. Groucho by himself is the greatest and most brilliant comic ever.
  11. It's too dark in my ox to get good pictures. Plus, seeing what comes out of him, I don't think I want to see whats inside an ox! ?
  12. That is a nice looking Buick. I love both the color, and the fact that it does not have a vinyl roof.
  13. Oh, okay! I've talked to you here, before. In fact, as soon I clicked on your link and saw your the offering the '65 Wildcat kit, I ordered one from you. I'm sure you don't mind.
  14. Sorry not all the footage in the credits were taken from the first season shows. I recenty watch all of the first season of Mannix. That scene with the girl we've been talking does not appear any episode. First season. Or seasons 2 - 8. That shot may have been done for some kind of test film? Or maybe just for the credits? So the question still is, who is she? My vote is still leaning toward for Thordis Brandt. That doesn't mean I'm right though. I'd like definitive proof of who she is. Whether, Thordis Brandt, Lee Parrish, or someone else.
  15. Yes. I do. But it's still a cool model. Worth another look.
  16. And who are you?
  17. Why "my bad"? You've done nothing bad. Just a simple mistake.
  18. Very, very nice job on a very nice kit. The Revell/Monogram '64/'65 Mustangs are great kits. Like I say, you did a great job on the kit, except for one little minor detail. The backup light below the rear bumper should have white lens, rather than amber like the front turn signals.

    VW 411

    Very cool! I always liked 411. I've never seen a 1/24th scale model of one before.
  20. I agree 100%. There is no need to bash HL. Like them. And I particularly them even better with 40% off coupon.
  21. Just purchased a copy of this kit. Fun to see one built. You said you have a second one you were going to build on a Tamiya VW chassis. Did you ever follow through on that project? I plan to building mine using the VW chassis that comes with the kit. So I'm very interested in see yours.
  22. As of this morning, I just went down stairs to bring Cruly's Gasser up from getting its lacquer gloss coat, done yesterday. I'm happy to report that everything went well. The clear coat did nothing bad to decals at all. Everything looks great!
