NO! I'm blind after seeing that! Scott -
AMT and JoHan Maverick & Comet Kit Questions
unclescott58 replied to VW93's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Love those Maverick based Comets. Especially the '71 and '72 GT version. Scott -
This morning I had to take my old cat, Asparagus, "Gus" into the vet to be put to sleep. The old guy had not been doing well for a while now. But, he really went down hill in the last 36 hours. He lived a good life. He made it to 18-1/2 years of age. I loved the little guy. He will be missed. Bless you Gus. Your in God's hands now. And thank you for being part of my life for 18-1/2 years.

What Did You Get Today? (Not Model Related)
unclescott58 replied to LOBBS's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
There is a reason we keep on reading old authors like Poe, and others. They're great still! Scott -
1940 Chrysler Truck

Very nice. Great job. Scott -
I'm with you on the "bay-window" buses. I'd buy one. Scott

How much info on the Mark IIIs in the above book? And looking at the different GT-40s posted here, especially the Mark IIs, it looks like I did the right thing in buying the Revell/Fujimi kit. Scott

Hey Mark welcome to the forum. Very cool builds. With the latest release of the Corvair kit, my plan is to buy your Sport Sedan body from Modelhaus. I don't need to add another Sport Coupe to my collection. And after 4-door convertibles, my next favorite body style in most any car is a 4-door Hardtop. And only Corvair offered an American 4-door hardtop in their compact line (I do not consider the '56 - '60 Rambler hardtops true compacts). Scott

Very nice. That generation Imperial has always been kind of a kitsch. Despite that, I've always like them. Scott

Who makes the best 1/24th scale kit of a Toyota 2000GT? I assume Hasegawa. I don't care one way or another if it's a curbside, or has an engine. And, can any of the 2000GT kits be built portraying the car with left hand drive? Scott

Love the Toyota 2000GT. Anyone know much about this model? Scott

That last one's an old classic Harry. But still a good one. Scott

Problem with Future?
unclescott58 replied to Buffs Fan's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Heck, I and everybody else in our local model car club just use cotton balls to apply "Future". No need for dipping or spraying it on with an airbrush. Just wipe it on with a cotton ball. It's simple and works great! Scott -
Got my Revell GT-40 Mk II kit in the mail yesterday. On opening it up, it is obvious that it's the Fujimi kit. Molded in white. Very nice kit. Looks like it will be easy and fun to build. Scott

A lot of you are excited by the 918. I wish Revell would give us a 917 instead. Make it a '70 917K. Gulf-Porsche livery. Scott

MPC Donnie Allison 1971 Mercury Cyclone
unclescott58 replied to hpiguy's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Another great review (other than the few small mistakes already pointed out). Again I like your YouTube reviews. But again, another kit I will not be buying because it can not be built as the stock version of the car. I'd love to see Round 2, or anybody else for that matter, give us a "showroom stock" version of the '70 or '71 Cyclone. Like MPC did in the day, before this version of the kit was first offered.

Had a dream of mine come true.

Great job, and neat to see. Scott -
MPC 1/20th Ford Van to be reissued..
unclescott58 replied to Rob Hall's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Chris that is one great reveiw on this kit. By the way, I like your enthusiasm. Model building should be fun. And it is a fun model. Despite your great review, or maybe because of it, I again will not be adding this kit to my collection. I'm not a big fan of custom vans. Especially 4-wheel drive vans. Still it's a great review. Good job of showing us most everything. I think you may have missed showing us the clear parts. But who cares. You showed us enough to get a good feel for the kit. If your other reviews are this good, I may have subscribe. Thank you. Scott -
Very nice. And your partly right, the color helps make the kit. But you did a nice job beyond that too. Scott
-
I'm aware that's old. It still can't hurt to ask. Got my Revell GT-40 #2 in the mail today. Only three day after winning it on eBay. Very quick shipping. Opened the box. Looks like a great kit. Scott
-
I got the Revell (Fujimi) Ford GT-40 #2 I order off of eBay already. Won it Sunday. Got it today. From Youngstown, OH to Minneapolis, MN in only 3 days. Pretty quick. It was a sealed kid. I unsealed it. Very nice looking kit. And for sure the Fujimi kit in a Revell box. A good way to get a Fujimi kit. It was a bit cheaper in price being a Revell box. Any how.... Nice kit kit. Looks like it will be a nice build. Scott

Best Models of 2014
unclescott58 replied to MG Brown's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
My nomination for best model of 2014 maybe Mongram's Slingster. A fun and cool total redo of the old classic Sizzler kit. But, no parts can interchange between the new and old kit. The new version is scaled down to a true 1/25th scale. I may have been happy with the chance to buy a reissue of the original. But, I'm really happy and impressed that Revell went and redid this kit. It was by far the biggest surprise to me in the last year. Scott P.S. I think my nomination meets all the criteria above, but I don't really understand why there should be so many restrictions. I'd like to hear everyone's view. Even if it's not something I agree with. -
Was talking with a co-worker today about the fact that she grew up in Hibbing, MN. The home town of Bob Dylan, and were they mine a lot of iron ore. A area referred to by most Minnesotans as the "Iron Range." So I said to her, "Oh your one of those Iron Strangers (rather than the "normal" Iron Ranger). She said, "Yup. But now I'm De-Ranged. I had never heard that one before. Man, I kind of wish I was from the Range, so I could use that joke. Scott

Another great one Tulio. But, I expect nothing less from you. Even on non Ford models. Scott
