For those not familar with the Series I here is the instruction sheet. My kit is missing a few pieces so it may end up as a donor for a Pantera.
-
JC how about it? The orange version looks to have the Maier racing hood but the vintage pictures show the flat hood like the resin one you now have. So ....... what do you think?
-
Thanks for the info. I could not tell what they were. I guess you need a/c in a cramped car like that. Anyway, here's a model with and engine compartment that I just got in the mail today from China. Well - too bad it's 1/64 scale.
-
Here's a stock engine compartment. Not much there except for some cross members and radiator hoses.
-
No no no to a Chevy or Wankel but it is okay to put a LS into a Delorean.

If you ever get to take a flight on a B-17 do it. $400 or more may seem like a lot but I could go anywhere in the plane, stuck my head out the roof at 200+ mph, saw a P-51 fly next to us and sat behind the pilot on the takeoff and landing. Priceless.

I guess it depended on the track availability and no one can predict the weather but people get 4/17 in their head and will not consider anything else. The AACA museum had an event on 4/17. Couldn't they even wait for the weekend? DUMB. I may go to Mustang week this year - they finally got smart and moved the show from the hottest time of the summer and the peak season to later in the year.

We might be able to work something out. It's probably one I will never build.
-
I assume you have seen the ARII kit. It has a similar front end.

Hopefully there are some military modeling experts out there. My dad flew a B-17 and I was was to make a kit of one I'd go to IPMS meetings, search old FSM issues and check for books on the real planes or how-to modeling books. This is one plane that has been covered hundreds of times (as opposed to say building an obscure 1 of 1 show car) and there should be many resources on-line to help with the correct colors. Needless to to say there are dozens of variations of B-17's if you factor in color, where they were stationed, and early versus closer to end of the war production, etc. If you doing a Memphis Belle you're in luck since it is the most famous early B-17. My dad flew a dozen different ones on 30 missions in 44/45 (out of England) and each plane was probably a little different. He took some flak hits but got home safely every time.

It's a 1/24 Nichimo motorized kit with a basic race interior. As best I can tell it is supposed to be a GR5 car similar to this one.
-
I built a street GT350 from a coupe and a fastback conversion kit back in the 80's. It eventually cracked but I still have it. Nice job - much harder to do before the Monogram kit came out.

Testors New Color Shift Paint
vamach1 replied to chippern73's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I decided to test it out on a spare Cobra body. What do you all think? This was an extra body so I did not worry much about it being perfect - it was just to see how it would look.
-
Glad to help out with the intake parts from my Cobra parts warehouse.
-
Following along to see how you handle the engine compartment.
-
Nice to see a 1/43 kit on here and a Mustang no less.
-
The MAMA's boys will be there as always. Sorry to say Brad from HRM is not going though.
-
I built this one a long time ago and do not remember any major issues. I'd like to do one with an engine too and have ordered the resin ZF transmissions from Clearly Scale.
-
Did you go to the 50th? If so how does it compare? I was thinking of going but procrastinating in getting tickets and a hotel, etc.. I am guessing there will as many Mustangs at the All Ford Carlisle. Did you tour the museum yet? I hope the event is run better than the 50th - there were some major flubs and delays with registration the first day.
-
Sorry for the mix of diecast and kits but It's a pain to separate them for pictures.
-
I will post some models pics later.
-
Nice one JC - I had not seen it before.
-
Some of my recent projects - Ford GT 40, Corvette C7 R, Porsche 956
vamach1 replied to DRH_97's topic in Model Cars
I am a diehard GT40 guy but that Porsche looks awesome too. Shhhhh - cool Vette too. -
Nice find Gary. Perhaps some HRM or R&Mof MD webers will set off the V12 nicely.

Car Model History in My Hands!
vamach1 replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Cool pieces of history saved to inspire current and future modelers. Since they are both Mustangs that is a bonus.
