Thoughts and ideas that hold forever true..........
mk11 replied to JollySipper's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
In an ancient letter to friends in Greece, a man wrote 'Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable -if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things' -
'Thought I saw'... just doesn't have the same ring as 'tawt I taw a puddy tat'.

Either the monogram '80 or the revell NightRider bed will probably work. Revell nr is about 1/26 though. Monogram '53 might also work if bed side tops are modified to be flat. Compare the widths in scale with the factory specs...

A kwikee comparison of grill fit, '78 Bronco vs '78 F350 on the amt F series truck... A few seconds whittling on the rh side of the radiator support will ensure the fit of the bronco grill. This will probably work for using the fireball resin round headlight '78 grill as well. The bronco also supplies the correct 78/79 bumper and the 351M/400 mill, if an accurate 78/79 F150-350 is your goal.

Underbody paint color question
mk11 replied to JerseeJerry55's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
The auto industry seldom wasted top coat on the bottom of cars; instead it was basically a primer hosed on with jets from the bottom. Ford used red oxide or a mix of leftovers called slop gray depending on the plant or day. As the painters couldn't reach far under the rockers, the sides of the floorpan received a light dusting of body color. Other makes were similar in process. By the late sixties/early seventies large electrically charged dip tanks were introduced. -

Reminds me of an old classic story I just finished rereading; 'Leave Her to Heaven'. -

Nice morning doon at tha crik, rising sun warming everything nicely after an unusual plunge to 36 degrees early this am. Brrr. Ducks, geese paddling about and a flock of martins sweeping the airspace above the river clean of skeeters and other pests. Wild roses bursting into bloom along the road and a lone bald eagle standing a lonely sentinel in its tree watching for breakfast. Nice way to start the day.

Mark, I certainly agree they are one dog of a kit. I'm only intending to use the body shell. Got an original amt falcon here that I've compared it to and found where I can make improvements. The engine compartment is actually decent; the chassis and the rest... forget it

Find out is what some do after fooling around.
