Very cute. I too am wondering if this is scratch built, or base off of some kit. Give us more details on this cool build. Scott

Very, very nice! Though I think "Betty" should have been a little smaller. But, that's just personal taste. It is a beautiful model. Scott

Just this afternoon, I got the Moebius "Jonny Quest Dragonfly/Quest Labs Supersonic Suborbital Aircraft" model. Another home run for Moebius. A very nice and simple kit. Only 13 plastic parts, including the stand. Plus, one decal for the base. I've already have done all the major pre-painting subassembly. Everything goes together beautiful. Two minor parts are down stairs with paint on them already. As noted, a very simple kit. Assembly without painting would take less than an hour. But, it's very well designed with fairly good details. Wonderful panel engraving. The only hard thing I can foresee on this kit is masking the little windows in the clear molded canopy, for painting. Should not be a major problem. Just a bit of a pain. I'm thinking Bare Metal foil, unless somebody has another idea. Fun kit. I paid just under $30.00 with shipping. Well worth the price. Move over Mr Bannon. I'll take over the controls from here.

Now I'm a little confused now on the tailgate decal for the Feathers package. I too have seen a variation on the above ad showing the more elaborate tailgate decal than the one seen on the above photos of the two Blazers with the Feathers package. Maybe the non photographic ad has the original design that did not make it on to the real vehicle. Also on the CST version of the Blazer you got the more elaborate tailgate trim. Maybe the Feathers tailgate decal was left off the CST Blazers? Another question about these decal packages for the real trucks. Weren't they only offered as a factory authorized, dealer installed accessory only? They do not show up as a factory installed item in any of my factory dealer option/price guides. And I only remember them being offered late in the '72 model run. Scott

Thanks for showing us the kit, Gerry. An old classic that will be soon joining my collection. I too noticed the missing "Feathers" tailgate decal. I don't think AMT has ever included in their kit. I also find it interesting that they include Feathers decals for the side windows. I've never seen a real Blazer with the Feathers decals in the windows. I've always though that to be a little odd. Such a minor complaint, it won't stop me from buying one. Now, somebody like Keith Marks should offer the tailgate Feathers decal. Scott

What do people know about the Heller E-type Jag models? Are these new? If not, are they any good? And where's the best place to pick up Heller kits in the United States? Scott

I like the color. Scott

Substitute education para. Corrupting kids for 8 years now. And still loving it. Scott

Beautiful DeSoto. Scott

Very nice. I like it. Scott

Great stories. I'm having a good laugh at some of them. But Kris, you really do need to give us more details on painting your eye ball. Sounds like an interesting story. Not a modeling accident, but a simular story. I have a nice scar in my right hand, just above the wrist. Caused by one of my sisters baking brownies back when we were teens. At the time she was not the best cook (great now though). This pan of brownies came out as hard as rock. Trying to cut a piece and the knife slipped! Close enough to the wrist to scare the you know what out of me. I'm sure she was trying to get rid of me! Me, her favorite (and only) brother. I wonder if need to be watching out still, when eating any of her homemade sweets? Scott

That might be fun. Scott

Wow! The more I see of this kit, the more impressed I am. And yes Tamiya needs to do both a nice Pagoda and an E-type in coupe and roadster. From my experience with other Tamiya kits (and other Tamiya products), they'll have no trouble selling kits like these to me. Scott

I like Niekamp's restored roadster. Now that's cool. Scott

Hey I have nice scar on my left thumb knuckle from an X-acto knife. Cut down to bone. Fall of 1973. Working on a '73 or '74 MPC Roadrunner. So your not alone on this one. Scott

What is this? Can somebody post pictures or give us more details? It sounds interesting. Scott

Got the Fujimi Mk I in the mail yesterday. Three days from winning it on eBay receiving it. Another very nice looking kit. It should be another easy one to build from looking at it. Scott

I have and love the old AMT kit. But, this being Tamiya, I think I need to another 300SL to my collection. And it will be fun see how compares to the old AMT. Which was not a bad kit in its own right. Scott

Curve? Both of mine look okay. Scott

Do I need to say it? Of course it's nice. But, I expect no less from you. Scott

Looks good! Scott

Another nice 300 Steve. I'm always impressed with your work. Scott

Very nice. I love the color. I'm close to finishing mine up. But, I building mine as Hang 10 model with decals from Keith Marks. So mine will be white of course. Scott

Very nice. Looks as good as it can get. I like it. Scott
