Sweet build!!

Wasn't a year of service in the military mandatory at one time? I joined the Army when I was 17.

Those who display the stars and bars in a deliberate display of racism deserve all the negative feedback in the world. Same with the Nazi swastika. I also build Military models of German subjects. It doesn't mean I'm racist. I just think the Germans built some pretty cool stuff. I'm still glad they lost the war though. To display ANY of these things to African Americans or people of the Jewish faith is to be completely Politically tone deaf. But to get bent out of shape over a decal on a model??? Really???

Let him lock it. It won't change a darn thing until The PC BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH is handled.

I'm offended and hurt by your reference to "our share of knuckleheads". Does that give me any PC cred? Which group are you referring to? the Group who is Trying to enjoy a good build? or the group who started the food fight in the first place. Please clarify. Meaning Harry. My point is this: Political Correctness is a two edged sword. It cuts both ways. When applied to a situation, it can be flipped around on its user, and THEY are in the cross hairs. PC is a dangerous thing to play with. But its fun to turn the tables on them from time to time...

Good one Chuck. LOL!!

Not me. I'm good.

Even Daisy Kevin? Besides the Charger, she was the best looking!!!

Bob. Very true. I wouldn't want the job. Harry has a full plate, no doubt. But hopefully someone with a clear head can step up.

Some of the sig lines are new. Just looking over some of the new ones lately. Its supposed to be an "all inclusive forum" right? Ok, on that thought, lets move forward to the post of the general. The picture of the stars and bars offended someone, the food fight commenced, and the thread was locked. Now THAT individual, or individuals, has imposed THEY"RE political outlook on everyone else on this forum. And the forum is supposed to be free of political views from ANYONE. period. Is that not a violation of forum policy? If the food fight had turned nasty, with a lot of cursing and such, most definitely shut it down. But from what I read, unless it was cleaned up a lot, didn't go down that road. Political Correctness has no place in modeling.

Agreed 110%

Yeah snake, I thought I saw a lot of new posters on the boards the last couple of months or so. That may explain it. Its a car model forum for cripes sake. Where does PC fit in here anyway? The Moderators already have guidelines posted about conduct on the boards, what can, and can't be discussed. So now we have a whole other "layer" of content that we have to tip toe around ? Show me in black and white these unwritten rules that we're supposed to follow, and let me judge for myself if its PC or not. Until that happens, Its just another way to control content by the few over the many,. nothing more. Let The Moderators handle that.

Yep. Don't let others who only see the world through a "politically correct" filter discourage your efforts. You built a beautiful model sir. Very nice work!!

The same people who ran down the post probably watched "the Dukes of Hazzard" as kids. What bunch of PC BS...

I love all the classic's. Any of the above would suit me just fine. I like'm all.

Is it a new selling tactic to move inventory? Either way, I, and quite a few other people too, have been waiting for this one!!! Good news for sure.

I just pre-ordered 2 of each today!! Can't wait. The coupe had a "out of production, just afew left" notice on the websight for Model Roundup.

I like the way you think Clayton!!

Big Thank you to Ken Gilkeson!! Not technically a trade, but he hooked me up with some hard to find Autocar parts!! Thanks Much Ken!! If you need anything in the future, just let me know!!

Oh. Ok. That would explain alot then.

I think the new guys last name is Ambrose. I don't know if that name is even close, but i see his name in red at the bottom of the page from time to time. i am assuming he is a moderator. Like i said, i don't know if the name is even close. its either him, or Harry. i guess Casey stepped down.

Harry hopped on around 12 or so this morning to stop a food fight by deleting the thread, so i know at least he's watching. I can't remember the name of the new guy. I haven't seen him on here for a little while either.

About 150 or so. Spread out over cars, trucks, planes ,ships, military stuff.

I need to pick one or two of these up as well.

I hope not. He may be stepping back and letting the new moderator get some seat time in too. Or a vacation?? Either way, I'm sure he's fine.
