  1. I think I used Tamiya's metallic blue. Scott
  2. Okay. It becomes a fair joke now that you've explained it. Scott
  3. I seem to hit a limit on the number of photos I can post. Now, if I wish to post something here, I have to find an older post and delete the photo there. For this reason, for the most part, I've given up posting photos here. Scott
  4. Some kit came with the Edsel station wagon taillights and bezels as a customizing option. I just can not, off the top of my head, remember which kit it was. I don't think it was AMT's '57 Ford? I know I have a set somewhere in my collection. Scott
  5. I don't get this one at all?
  6. Both of the Minis above look like there has been a little photo shop going on. Scott
  7. Impressive looking build. Would like to know about the real plane. Scott
  8. Sounds good to me. I'll take one of each. Scott

    Wow! Very nice. I too like the license plate behind the grille. Nice touch. The color is right too. Scott
  11. I wonder what kind of glue he used? Did he scrape the paint and chrome away where he glued parts on? Scott
  12. I like Harry's last joke. I guess it does prove there is no help for me, after all. Scott
  13. Anything you buy from Modelhaus should be okay. There other good resin kit makers out there too. But, I've found Modelhaus' resin to be consistently good. Don't be afraid to try it. It's really not that much different from styrene. I'm not the greatest model builder in the world. If I can do a good job with resin, anybody can. Modelhaus has helped me save a lot of old kits that were missing parts. Or had broken parts. As we speak, I have the parts from Modelhaus to convert AMT's '70 Galaxie Police car into a '70 LTD. The resin hood is a little thicker than the the styrene hood, so I'm have to do a little work to make it fit flush. Other than that, I'm seeing no problems at all. Scott
  14. RatRod John, can you show us what's in the box? Scott
  15. Boy is that the 70's. Not bad. Scott
  16. Now that's cool. I really like the color. Scott
  17. Thanks for the promo info David and Robert. And I'm glad to hear the coupe will be done in blue. My favorite color. Are they also doing the roadster? And if so, any word on color? Scott
  18. All right! A '57 Del Rio Ranch Wagon! Can a '57 Ranchero be far behind? I love '57 Fords. Keep them coming Revell. And I'll keep on buying. Scott
  19. Looks great! Scott
  20. Very nice. I like it. A lot. Neat to see something built using the Parts Pack chassis. Still haven't figured out what to do with mine. Scott
  21. I don't like the end result. But, it is a very nice build. And it did make me laugh. Scott
  22. Beautiful build. Very, very nice. Scott
  23. The first posting here is a model? Wow! Give us some more information on this build. Scott
  24. I'm surprised to see how tough these little buggers are. Scott
  25. I shall miss Chrysler's Penastar logo. When I was growing up, I loved the little gold Penastar on lower right front fender of every Chrysler car and truck at the time. It showed corporate pride to the world walking by on the sidewalk. Yet it never overwhelmed the division identity of each vehicle. A few years ago GM tried something similar with a GM emblem on each door. It didn't work. Fiat dumping the Chrysler Penastar is just another example of things that are slowly disenfranchising me from the America automobile industry. The car companies and the histrory they had are being eroded away. Look at the great nameplates from the big three that have been tossed in waste bin in the last thirty years or so. Mercury, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Imperial, and Plymouth. Other than Imperial, all fairly big sellers in my life time. All built cars that I loved. But, no more. But today's car companies aren't interested in people like me anymore. I don't match the right demographics anymore. And I guess in someways that's okay. Times change. Wants and needs change. It's just part of life. Chrysler is really not the Chrysler I grew up with and loved. It's really now just part of Fiat. So why not let the Pentastar die too. Scott P.S. I'm still not happy with Fiat's decision to drop the Dodge nameplate from their trucks. What was wrong with Dodge? It was a good name in trucks. With a very good history. I will never buy a "Ram" truck. A Dodge Ram, maybe. But never just a Ram.
