Wow! That nice. The color is right too. After the two-door convertible, my next favorite body style is the four-door hardtop. I'm going to have to looking for than. But, that color, could swing me into buying the two-door. Thank for letting me know about that.

I've been avoiding the Revell Rabbit. Look at the instructions on line in the past, it looked like they too much fiddle detail in it too me. I'm glad to see the old AMT Rabbit coming back. Though Revell's Rabbit Cabriolet keep call to me. Again too much "stuff" in the kit, but since AMT never did one, it's the only choice I know of out there.

Beautiful.

It reminds me, that I need to pull mine out and build it someday. An odd show rod that I really like. I hope mine turns half as nice as yours did. I'm impressed.

Im not a fan in general of the kit. But, boy did you do a nice job on it. I'm surprised how much I like it.

The Ads Are Now Out of Control!

I use an Apple iPad for 99% of my viewing here. On that device I've seen no chance in the number ads I required to see. -
Don't mean to be crass or anything. But who is John Prine?
-
I know. I've heard it a hundred times now. For me that's not the point. In fact I will probably buy the upcoming T kit just for that glass. Thank you for trying to be helpful.

Below is Model Power's N scale Barn, Silo & Chicken Coop model kit I just got done building last night. What a joy it was to build. It was molded in 6 different colors. One does not even have to paint little things like the white bracing on the doors. Those are all separate molded white pieces that glue into grooves molded right on the doors and walls. I also like that it came with two doors that actually slide open. Very slick. Especially in N scale. This is a very old kit. From my understanding it was originally tooled by Faller of Germany, for Aurora's Postage Stamp trains from the late 1960's. It's been sold under the Faller, Aurora, and Model Power names. And maybe others. For being so old. I was pleasantly surprised by this kit. It went together nicely. The colored plastic looked a lot better than I expected. Enough so I decided to forgo painting it. In fact I'm so pleased, I'm looking forward to getting it's companion farm house model kit, which I already have on order. I also love the chicken coop. You'll notice in the photos of the coop, it has two doors for the chickens to enter and leave (and only one for the humans). Which fits in with my all time favorite joke. "Why do chicken coops have two doors? Because if they had four doors, they'd be chicken sedans." Like I say, that is my all time favorite joke.

Your right Phil, the sport model of the Comet line, introduced midway into the '61 model run was called the S-22. And this remained true in '62, and '63. In 1964 the S-22 was replaced by the Caliente, and later the Cyclone. In the intermediate Meteor line, the sport model was called the S-33. (Later the Canadian Meteors brought back that name for their sporty full-sizer.) The sporty full-size Mercurys (US) for '62 and '63 were S-55s. And full-size S-55s returned again in '66 and '67. Why S-22 and S-33, than skipping S-44 for S-55? I don't know?

Snake the first one has become true for me. Or at least pretty close. The third one is just dang funny. ?

The Carrera striping is a real nice touch. I like it a lot.
-
I like the giant dead spider on the static model of Ricky's above. I hope he did not get the driver before he died.
-
Nice. I too like the side curtains.
-
As others before me have said, "very nice." I like the general vintage look to build.

AMT 1962 Ford Thunderbird convertible Annual

I see it's got the wire wheels and tonneau cover to build the Sports Roadster version. It's only missing the badges. Very cool. Thanks again Robert.
