Automodello makes some beautiful resin cars and are priced accordingly. They are only sold as finished models and are not available in kit form. The detail in 1/43 looks the same as the 1/24 ones. Here is the 1/43 Mustang I along with a Cougar II and Bordinat Cobra.

Life is short. Keep building. So far I have only built one and that was decades ago. I forgot I also built a Supercoupe Mini Exotics kit which I believe you had a hand in creating

I see what your are saying about the microscopic print. I almost grabbed a grey bottle instead of flat black because it was in the wrong rack at HL. I guess Testors has to squeeze all the legal disclaimers on the labels so someone does not swallow the contents.

Very nice paint and modifications and additions to the kit.

Thanks. I did not glue the firewall to allow for some give in as getting the chassis to mate up with the engine compartment is tricky. Everything is a tight fit.

Since I already built the Boss 351 kit I was familiar with this kit. Lessons learned were not to apply some as the decal until the very end as I had applied decals #22 and #23 on the radiator support but while handling it to fit the chassis and interior into the body they came off and I lost them. One change I made was I used a different air cleaner since the 007 car was a non-ram air 429 C code. Comments are welcome.

Posting in under glass. Unfortunately in the final assembly process I lost decals 22 and 23 that go on the radiator support bracket.

Excellent build. It’s a shame Fujumi took a short cut and did not include an engine in any of the MkI or MKII kits. Maybe we will see a MENG kit of a MKI someday.

I assumed this was only an issue with older cans perhaps due to age but if this is happening with cans that are less than few years old that is not good. Have you tries to use them despite the self sealing leakage? Paying for postage to mail them back is a joke as the postage would barely cover your refund.

Those are two very nice builds. Sorry about your brother and the reminder that men over 50 tend to ignore warning signs and wait too long to see a doctor or get regular check ups.

That engine looks pretty good so I hope it fits in the Cobra.

My guess is since Hobby Lobby carry’s models and paints and tools etc and some Walmart sell kits around Christmas that Michael’s has given up on carrying them. I used to check the local Michals once in a while but the model section is very small and I’m guessing not because they were not selling many.

Hemings Muscle Machines is still delivered monthly and at a good price. There I probably jinked it. ?

I will be at the ModaMiami show as a spectator. About a mile down the road the same weekend is a AACA show which my 72Mach1 will be in.

Either to replicate the look of the original MKIIs or some buyers will actuall drive them on race tracks. Most will probably just be added to a collection somewhere. Here is the list if Shelbys at the show. Taking centre stage, and running down the length of the Biltmore Golf Course’s 18th fairway is our ‘Shelby 101’ tribute. Laid out on a special race circuit grid you’ll find a line-up of significant Shelbys and rare cars with a Shelby history. ⁃ 1963 Shelby 289 Cobra Works ⁃ 1969 Ford/Shelby American GT350 Hertz ⁃ 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 ⁃ 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 ⁃ 1966 Shelby GT350 “Carryover” ⁃ 1963 Shelby Cobra 289 ⁃ 1965 Shelby 427 Competition Cobra ⁃ 1965 Shelby GT350 R ⁃ 1965 Ford GT40 P ⁃ 1965 Shelby GT350 ⁃ 1965 Shelby GT350 ⁃ 1965 Shelby GT350 ⁃ 1966 Shelby GT350 ⁃ 1968 Shelby GT350 ⁃ 1966 Shelby GT350 Hertz ⁃ 1967 Shelby 427 Cobra ⁃ 1967 Toyota 2000 GT Shelby Race Car ⁃ 1966 Shelby Cobra 427

Www.ModaMiami.com this weekend. Think Amelia Island and Pebble beach quality show and auction but in suburb of Miami. The event is 2 miles from me.

I got those parts from Missing Link resin parts a number of years ago.

I saw this today. Evidently it is the first one of 67 to be built by Ford. https://www.ford.com/performance/gt/mk-iv/

Getting close to finishing the kit.

I’ll be following. Here is a few pictures I took in December.

Thanks for posting. I build this box stock many years ago from I believe one of the original IMC ones.

Norm’s booth at ACME last October.

The real Norman Veber.

Catalogue sent via email to those that sent a PM. Thanks for posting here Gerry. As for shipping I do not think Norm handles a lot of small orders so on a $120 order that is ten percent. No worries about sales tax. I have been lucky to buy a lot of his parts and kits from HRM in person at MAMA meetings or NNL shows. He was also at the ACME show last year with his entire product line. So many resin casters have gone by the wayside and Norm is still at it 30+ years with how know how many thousands of satisfied customers. I am replying a little late today as I was at a car show all in Davie FL. Here is a picture for attention. I am sure you all know that is NOT Norman next to me.

Try the link. Facebook is nothing more than a website. I would attach the PDF file except this forum does not allow those types of attachments. If you are still not sure or just not a fan FB send me a message with your email and I can send you the PDF price list.
