  1. Thanks Gramps and Testa Rossa. Brad's kits are top notch so I may not even bother with these offered get which seem to be pretty basic and putting an engine in them would probably be a lot of work. Gramps - you need to get one of the HRM conversion kits.
  2. No one loves Ebay but as a buyer the protection is pretty good. As a seller you can get hosed by people saying the item was damaged and they do not even have to prove it. Ask me how I know.
  3. Looks pretty mean in black. Is that the color your are doing?
  4. Not a Mustang or Cobra but it looks great. That windshield looks familar though.
  5. Thanks JC. See m question to Gramps46 about which real car is closest to the kit.
  6. So assuming they are a copy which kit would be the closest to what is it supposed to represent. I suppose with some HRM parts one could make a decent replica. Would these fit the Monogram 427 or AMT 289 chassis or would it take a little from each?
  7. Should also mention these are curbside and no donor kit is required.
  8. Saw these kits on Ebay from ant1969hill with 100% feedback. Has anyone out there ordered or built one. They look okay but probably not on par with HRM or Hiro. Any feedback is appreciated before I put out almost $100 for one. These are screen shots so not the best picture quality.
  9. I also found a few listings for about $40 plus shipping.
  10. I bought mine many years ago but you can still get them.
  11. I showed this to Brad of HRM and he said he knows Scott.
  12. Simply marvelous.
  13. Welcome mate. Love to see some Aussie Falcons.
  14. The Fireball ones are amazing.
  15. Great job on a subject we do not see too often on this forum.
  16. Any Mustang is a good Mustang and this one looks very cool. Nicely done.
  17. Other than that I do not see the different color markings on the leaf springs and driveshaft, it is a spectacular build. Of course I kidding about the markings - you only see them on concour and thoroughbred real restorations. Same goes for the yellow "OK" on the valve covers and other stamps and stickers.
  18. See this website for the differences.
  19. Welcome. Do you build 1/43 models? Is Starter still in business?
  20. Pretty much, The MarkI's have a few different parts besides the body. I have almost all the variations.
  21. Now we're talkin., It seems like with an extra 45 hours a week some building should get done. How else did we work AND get all that other stuff done AND have time to build a little.
  22. Glad to hear you are building more and maybe you will be one of the few to make a dent in building all the kits that have found their way into your abode. . Most of us will need to build a kit a month for 15 years just to have a prayer of building them all. I don't even know many kits I have - maybe 250 give or take.
  23. Cool build, especially the bare metal foil. Maybe add a Fred Cady 289 decal on the air cleaner.
  24. Given the campiness of the tv show it's no worse than the Mstery Machine or Flintsones car. I'll give it a POW, BAM and a THUD.
  25. You can collect Socail Security at 62, you just collect less per month than waiting until later. My father died at 59 so he got nothing expect I guess my mom got some survivor benefits and my brother died at 57.. I do not plan to wait untill 66 or 65 or 64 or 63. Think about what you are NOT collecting sooner than later and the way it works is you will not catch up for those four years (62 to 66.8) until you're in your 80's.. Something to think about.
