  1. Thank you. And after seeing the instructions, all I can say is wow! This kit has moved up high on my list of must gets.
  2. More reasons you'll see no more photos from me. Sorry guys.
  3. Happy birthday Tom. And Bill, the video above is cute. But, the monkey should have finished the song the way I do. It should finish with, "You look like a monkey. And smell like one a zoo." My poor sisters, both now in their 50's, still get that version from me! As does the rest of the family. So Tom, I guess you should be glad I'm not part of your family and there to sing to you. Again, happy birthday Tom.
  4. Another nice one Jim.
  5. Wow! Very nice.
  6. Very nice. I too like the color.
  7. Very nice Ray. One of our local model club member built one recently. He seemed to indicate he had a lot of troubles with his. Especially the windshield frame. And the general fit of the body to the fenders and chassis. How was yours? Any thought on this? I seem to remember no major problem the last time I built one. But, that was years ago.
  8. Is there any chance someone can post some decent pictures of the instructions for this kit?
  9. Wow! Very nice build.
  10. You passed the test.
  11. Well Greg, some of us are interested in this kit. The old Model A/Ala Kart would be cool too. But, these decals have got considering buying another Willys. So why not? I like it!
  12. Bummer. I've only been to a drag strip once in my life. And that was back in 1965-'66 to see the Little Wagon run. One of fondest childhood memories. Sorry to here about this.
  13. Today via the mail I got the 2015 Corvette convertible promo model. A very nice model. But.... The driver and passenger seat look too small and are fairly forward. It doesn't look quite right. Other than that it's a very nice model. And I'm pleased to add it to my collect.
  14. Ditto! I would have never guessed they were being built brand new. I need to find out more about that.
  15. Looks good. It would be nice to see more photos.
  16. You'll be happy with this kit. The box indicates it does come with the Bird of Paradise decals. After doing a little web searching last night, it looks like Model Haus' 4-door Bird is a '67. Not a '71 as I hoped. I still may need to pick up a Bird of Paradise kit. Build it basically stock like I did my Model King version, with one small custom touch. Adding the hidden headlamp covers that come with kit. I like the '70 and '71 T-Birds in stock form with the exposed headlights. But, I also like the looks of them with covered headlights. Like on the Bird of Paradise box art. So if I but it, I'll then have two almost identical Birds. Just different colors. One completely stock. The other very slightly modified with hidden headlights. A stupid reason to buy another one? I don't know? I'm sure it would make Round 2 happy.
  17. I know one of the other Revell kits had a decal for a Mexican blanket for the seats. I don't remember which one though. For I did not purchase one. What I'm wondering, does anybody make a scale Mexican blanket that's not a decal? But some kind of real cloth in something close to 1/25th scale. Something like that at maybe Hobby Depot, or some other place, designed maybe for doll houses or the like?
  18. Revell is top notch. I already knew about the problem with the floor from reading reviews of the kit here. But, I did not know about the headers.
  19. Came close to buying the new Bird of Paradise version yesterday at a local hobby store. Built one of the Model King versions a few years back. I'm having time convincing my self that I another. But, I love these Thunderbirds. Maybe I need to look at a 4-door conversion kit from Model Haus? Anybody have any photos of this kit? Both built and unbuilt?
