Can -Con still same answer. I remember several years ago I read a story somewhere where a modeler severely modified a 1//25 or 1/24 '68 Roadrunner, because, to him it didn't look right dimensionally. Well after all his substantial cutting and glueing, it did not look - to me - any different than the original. The only people who may be able to tell might be the ones who actually owned a 1:1 car. I guess the car model community needs its own version of rivet counters.

The new release looks fine to me. Remember if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

A bear of a a build! This kit had everything bad ... Bad instructions, ejector pin marks, no gauge decals, thin chrome, flash, sink marks. I added tach connection on engine and gauge. Speedo connection on wheel and gauge. Cable loom on front fender. Velocity stacks on carbs. Removed front fender side braces and chrome. Removed exhaust chrome. Finally, done. This has been sitting in the box with engine done for probably 20 years. I have a '69 roadrunner that I may finish next. It's been sitting partially assembled for about 20 years also.

If you have this kit it is a decent build. Though you can't see it, I used brass wire and added runners to the skis. Yes, I have considered getting another one of these and attempting a pavement rail dragster. Problem is, I already have way too many kits to finish. Also, I am so slow in completing a kit. I started the sno dragster about 5 years ago. Then it sat and sat, 'til one day I decided to finish. I am currently working on a Revell Mach III 500 Kawasaki that I have had since probably 1985. Started engine ass'y, then it sat and sat 'til about two weeks ago. Probably will finish within two weeks. -
Very nice! Like the paint. I inherited a raft of White Road Boss parts ... 3 kits all missing frames, wheels, and tires. Debating as to whether or not I will sell the parts, or buy a Road Boss kit (junkyard) to complete

I like some of the tag lines on this site, like " Wisemen speak because they have something to say; Fools speak because they want to say something."

Really like the paint! -
So why has the price of model kits gone up?

Makes total sense. Any hobby that one totally gets into is expensive! -
Help!

Go with the gloss yellow. I have seen these at air shows. Apparently - side note - when the german luftwaffe ruled the skies over Germany, in 1941,'42, some of the cockier pilots had the complete me 109 painted gloss yellow. -

Looks good! The 1/24 Airfix Typhoon looks like it will be awesome in the detail dept. when it comes out.
