  1. The paint on those wheels looks good Dan!
  2. Man! Thanks a lot Bill!!! Lot's good references! Daniel:You're tellin' me on the far cry? Ha Ha Ha! It's a far cry from what I thought I was going to do with it originally! lol Thanks for the encouragement bud. Carl:Thank you kindly sir!
  3. After sniffin' around in the garage stash I finally found a horn in one of my old Monogram Mustang kits, cut it from the core support, cleaned it up and primer coated it. After that I moved on to the tires to finish them up. I mixed up some MM Flat Acrylic coat cut with 70% ISO and shot the tire sides. I've never been keen on that glossy Armor All tire shine so the result was perfect for me. Here are before and after results with one of the tires: and finally all four tires and wheels....
  4. Been there..........done that! Looking forward to your return Joe.
  5. I'm no Cobra expert but I think they are awesome cars. Lookin' forward to the build. These are more photography based and are of a replica but are shots I would use in a build. Refine your search criteria to 427 AC Cobra build to get more shots. See if this helps you out in getting you started Andy: http://cobracountry.com/images-B4afters/CobraPhotos-DunRite.html
  6. Lemme check the "deep freeze" stash and see what I've got......I know I don't have a Charger but I'll poke around a bit and see. Thanks anyway James!
  7. Beeeeeaauuutiful bird!!! Need reference pics? I have the Aero Detail #21 book on this puppy.
  8. For being a flat color this build is a clean build Andy!! I hope when I build mine and gloss it that it comes out half this good. Thumbs up all the way man.
  9. That thing should be monster in size!!! Good luck on the entry here and let us know how it turns out.
  10. Thanks Tim and Fred! Dangit! I'm gonna have to rob a horn from another kit! lol
  11. I'll be looking at that Pat. Thanks man! I'll have to look at the face book end of it later on because of "big brother " watching here at work.
  12. Still working on clean up issues with the radiator and touch up paint in the engine bay area. I do have 2 questions though. 1.) Does anybody have an engine firewall picture without the engine installed that's got the wire harness routed correctly on the firewall and fenders? It's obvious that things have been moved around and relocated on this one here: and 2.) I'm getting to the point to where I'm going to start on the undercarriage fairly soon and had a color question for you all. I've built plenty of aircraft and the original resources are rare and there's a lot left to interpretation and hoping that museums got it right but here in the automotive world I'm finding there is a ton of reference photos and a ton of variances in restoration colors and details. Is the undercarriage color on the bottom of the E bodies black or does it look more like this? If this is correct then that's fine but if it's off from O.E.M. pics would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Joe
  13. That interiors look great Tom and that Titan rocks!!
  14. I'll chime a third one on that!
  15. Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!!! Way cool Jim!! Way cool!
  16. I'm a member of this forum and one other major forum and am glad I can come here to talk about models and all the things that go with it. Having this in common with all that are in this forum makes it an awesome place to be. I've had other forums I joined and have recently ditched them in favor of this and one other I'm in now due to the friendly and helpful nature. It's also interesting to see all the different fields of modeling that takes place in here. Thanks Rich for bringing this all to light. I'm glad to be here with you all, Joe
  17. This is fantastic! That grill looks real enough to bolt onto a car!
  18. Go for it Reed! Glad to see somebody your age getting involved in the hobby!
  19. Say Kevin...............that's a pretty cool mild mottle pattern you got there on that 190. Did I mention that I was a HUGE Fw190 fan?
  20. Might switch it up to to an Eduard F6F Hellcat after my 109 build.lol
  21. Say...............that looks really good!!
