Thanks Scott! 'Preciate you dropping in Francis. I'm just trying to keep givin' 'er the ol' "one-two".

Thanks Mike! Finished up the hood this morning. This whole applying white over red is NOT an easy thing to do. Fought color bleed through all the way. BUT....I got it.

VERY nicely done Pete!

I've really been on the fence about getting one of these and this one built up so nicely that I'm really giving it a lot more thought than I did. PM sent.....

Continue to be blown away...…..

Crazy Crazy Crazy cool. I've never seen this one but I really like the way you built this one up.

Thanks Bruce. Post those pics up if you find 'em. Thanks Roger! 'Preciate that Rick. Don't have a lathe yet so I can't manufacture parts like some of these guys can so I'll make the best out it that I can with plastic, PE and resin. Tim I appreciate your comments as well. Your Mav is looking suuweeeeeeet!! Francis, I appreciate your encouraging words and for your help on this build. You da man. Thanks for dropping in and for the comments Scott.

Then those are the wheels that came out of that boxing?

Keep 'er comin Tim. Blowin' minds all the way.....

That's a good lookin' Willys Tony. Those Fenton wheels look great on that car.

Those must've been some great times watching all those guys alright. Got any pics Bruce? Thanks Larry!! This build has been going a lot slower than a lot of my other ones just because of parts....and the money to get them. Used to I would buy everything I needed BEFORE a build. Now I'm having to spread everything out as I can afford it. Things are slowly coming together now. Sometimes it's a "one step forward and two steps backwards" gig. Like today for instance, I saw that one of the rear wheels that I shot with Molotow has cracking in the chrome finish. Dunno what happened there as the other rear wheel is ok. Guess it's a bath in oven cleaner and a re-shoot for that one though. The other thing that I've noticed was the rear bumper. There are two HUGE sink marks on the outside of the bumper where the two mounting tabs are located on the inside of the bumper. Looks like that's gonna get stripped and some body work is coming down the pike. One thing after another with this kit...………...BUT......that's modeling. The other thing that has been hampering me is myself. Like....forgetting to paint the roof white for instance. And just yesterday I saw where I forgot to paint the tail light panel black. No biggie....just masked off and shot it semi gloss black this morning and it turned out ok. Updated Mock up shots:

Thanks for poppin' in Bruce. Wish I could've seen it first hand like you. That would've been awesome!

Man....that's a lot of work right there. Impressive!!!

You pulled this build off very well. Good stuff Johnny!

I'm curious......is the thermostat in this engine scribed with the proper temperature rating? lol

Whoa Ho Ho!!!! Looky here!!! This one's really taking on some shape since the last time I saw it!! Love the paint job and will be waiting for the next shots of it when you can Dann. WOW!!!

Late to the party but I'll bring 'er back up to the top. Good lookin' lil' 442 Thomas!!!

Is that the nose of a Fw190 D-9?? You can't get much more power in there using that Jumo 213 engine from Junkers Motorenwerke. At just over 1700 hp that thing would be over the friggin' top!!!! I do like the idea and you're pulling this one off with some finesse Dave!

Man......you've got a lot of time taken up in sanding, filling and revamping on this one. Looking forward to those shots with paint on them.

Beautiful work! Just doesn't get much better than this.

Thanks Carl, Francis and Chris!

Thanks Scott!

Ok fellas!! I managed to mask off and paint the roof white without destroying the rest of the paint/ decal work that I've done. It aint perfect in regards to "correctness" but I got it close enough for me to be able to live with. I've also applied the gloss coat over everything...

Gonna bring this pic forward because it's just too dang good to leave behind!!! Awesome work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
