The most recent tooled up convertible kit is the only one that really looks like a true '55 Chevy. The roofline around the "C" pillar on the other has never looked quite right. Scott

I'm sorry, but that is one ugly looking Ferrari. Scott

I'm trying to figure out how to built the old MPC clear display case trailer. What does one use to cement the clear parts together? Testor's Model Master clear cement does not have enough initial "bite" (or what ever you want to call it) to hold the parts Together while drying. Regular model cement would work, but will also fog the clear plastic. A member of our local model car club, recommended model canopy glue. I see on eBay, that Zap makes a couple different types. So which one does one buy? I've also heard about watch crystal cement. But I know nothing about this. I've never meet anyone who has used it. What I'm looking for is something "tacky" that will hold the parts together almost instantly. Yet still dry clear and not fog the surrounding clear plastic. I have yet to see one of these trailers built in it's intended "clear" form. Is it even possible to really do it? Scott

Interesting. Scott

Okay, I decided I needed to buy Revell's USRRC Cobra kit with the figures. Mainly for the figures. The Cobra models I've built in the past have all been cars designed to run on public roads. It's time to build a track version. Especially one being driven by the late, great, Ken Miles. So I went on line and bought one tonight. Also, if I'm going to have a figure of Carrol, it has to be one wearing a cowboy hat. Scott

Actually, I think that was pretty decent and brave of you to take down the photos Steven. I look to this site for mainly fun things dealing with our hobby. So, I thank you for what you did. Scott

Not funny! Very, very sad. Have seen and read about the accident involving the LeMans before. Tragic. The '73 is really sad. I assume who ever was in the car, did not come out of that one okay? No. These are not funny in any way. Scott

This all brings up a question. Has anybody ever offered a model of a Mirage? Scott

Another good one Mr. Most. Scott

Console is not right for a '64 Merc. Looks identical to seats in my original issue '66 Cyclone, from what I remember. I'd have to dig it out to be 100% sure. Scott

Beautiful! Scott

Looks great! Just in the last month I built simular '67 Falcon that I picked up unbuilt in the box. But, I didn't pay only $13.00 for mine. Very nice save. Scott

By the way. I notice above that Revell released a USRRC version of the Cobra with figures of Carrol Shelby and Ken Miles. I'm try to remember, was there another Revell kit of some sort that came with a figure of just Carrol in it? Scott

I built the Revell Shelby Cobra 427 S/C in the last year and half or so. It's a very, very nice kit. And it comes with Halibrand wheels. Scott

Why not? I can/could do it. The right tools and a little care. No big deal. Scott

Awe.... I hoping this was going to be about Studebaker Land Cruisers. If it was, make mine a '51. Scott

Oh, by the way, the Fujimi GT-40s are great kits. Despite being curb sides. Just in the last week I finished my Fujimi Mk I. My Fujimi Mk II should be done sometime next week. And my MPC Mk IV in the next day or two. The MPC Mk IV has a lot more detail than the Fujimi kits. But, it's lot more difficult to build, and has a lot of things that are not correct on it. It is turning out to be a nice model though. Scott

Bill - Ace, you've got your GT-40s identified correctly. The top and bottom ones you show are the modified Mk Is use in '68 and '69. The Mk IIs can be quickly identified by two extra scoops on the rear deck. Mk III is a street version with round headlamps and a longer rear deck. Mk IV is a totally different car all together. And then there are Mirages. They look like Mk Is with pinched in cabins. And are not included as true GT-40s, as Ford had nothing to do with them directly. I love the GT-40s. Including the Mk IIIs and IVs. I like the Mk IIs the best. The Mirage just doesn't look right to me. They did not have the success on the track, like the other race prepped GT-40s. And I don't know why, since they were basically the same cars beyond the cabin? Scott

S and O would be fine with me. Tough choice between the two. Scott

Watching Mannix right now. The episode I'm watching and have just watched, Mannix was driving the '69 version of the above car. Always loved Mannix. And loved the cars he and others drove in show. Very nice model by the was. Scott

Oh... The above joke is bad! I like it! Scott

The above discussion reminds me of past history. For all of the bad things one can say about unions, there is a reason they came about. Someday the public will get tired of the way things are going, and turn to things like unions to fight to get back their rights. But, with unions and "union wages" being looked at as villains now days (and some cases rightfull so). It will not be happening in the near future. My Dad was with the Teamsters for thirty years. He never got rich, but provided us with a nice middle class living. And he had good health and retirement benefits right up until the day he died. I wish I had what he had back then, now. But are unions or my elected officials looking out for me today? I think not. Scott

The seats are Mercury alright. But, from a '66 or '67 Cyclone, looking at the console. The interior bucket is from a mid-size '68 - '70 Mopar of some sort. Again, looking at the console. Scott

What are conceding? What about the blower? More details please. Scott

Ditto. Scott
