Welcome back. Things have changed a lot with availability of paint colors and aftermarket. For better or worse a lot of the same kits from the 60's keep resurfacing as reissues over and over with new kits few and far between, especially in large scales.

Dang - looks like the 1960's at the airport with Shelby American cranking out Cobras.

I guess it is the favorite.

Testors Lacquer Mystic Emerald.

I managed to get some kits done or almost done.

Post some pictures so the forum members can offer some advice. It's possible to build that many out of box kits if you have a lot of time on your hands and build them methodically. Threre are folks on here that would like to complete a model every few months.

Here is the underside. The independent rear is pretty cool.

The thing I like best about that diecast is you can use the interior and chassis to do a TA version out of the 69/70 kit with some modifications.

Drool

Very nice builds. Seems a crime they can get $35 for a kit with no engine.

Cheapest I saw on Ebay was $80 to $100. Someone could resin cast the body and save us all some $$$.

Looks like a great kit and each subsection is a model in itself. Nice work.

Nice extra detailing and realistic painting. Check the fit of th headers to the side pipes before you get too far into it. You may need to add some tubing.

Excellent.

I can understand the frustration with these companies if they are not responsive. HRM is a one man operation and I am sure he is filling the wholesale orders as quickly as he can. People have waited ove a year for reputable resin casters to ship them an order and do not seem to complain. I am lucky to see Harold Bradford almost monthly and have the luxury of dealing with him face to face. I think he wanted to let some else deal with the retail side of the business and concentrate on cranking out the kits and transkits and parts. We all know he does great work and if you have issues with the companies that try to stock his products keep in mind Brad used to only sell at a few shows and to buyers directly.

Get well soon.

Assuming it is this kit any dark color should cover it. However this kit has sink marks so it would be best to primer it.

The autolite version wasn't much different and was a far cry from the real car.

He is in Russia comrade. It is nicely done by DMold Modelworks. Stole this pic online - sorry it is blurry.

IMC GT40 had three engine options.

Not sure whose idea it was to mold in mint green but it would have to be painted to look ok.

Green was a factory color but of course not the lime color it is molded in.

It was based on this kit. I did substitute the rear panel with a copy from the 69 Mach1 custom taillights. If I recall the Iron Horse did not have the GT40 style side windows or mirrors. This was was a rescued glue bomb.

Added some decals.

Pics of display cases and bookshelf. Sorry for poor quality.
