  1. Saw one in Charleston the other day. Guy said he traded 3 Minis for it.
  2. Funny you mention that. There was a woman driving a boat tail Buggatti a couple spaces over and it was quite fun watching her try to back it into her designated space.
  3. I want to say the blower was just a piece that glued to the engine, so you could just omit it. However, I think the grill of the kit is molded to accommodate the blower.
  4. Went to Cars at Kiawah this weekend because Dennis Gage of My Classic Car was filming there. SAM_2355 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_2365 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_2383 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_2446 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_2490 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr
  5. The Real Thing! Actually got to see one up close. SAM_2383 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr
  6. I have the Revell version and it came out great. Very detailed and with a few decal options.
  7. Thanks everyone. I do think it came out nice for such a cheap kit. Did what I could to make it look as nice as I could, but that engine just doesn't look right to me. Whatever, I guess, that's just the way they made the kit, but it still looks weird to me. They could have put more detail into the kit I think.
  8. I believe it was an AMT kit.
  9. Found this at a local store for $6. Pain to build, but it came out looking alright. SAM_2351 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_2352 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_2353 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr
  10. For glue kits I would go with the Bronco kit, any of the Mustang kits, the 69 and 70 Charger kits, and the Challenger kits. Honestly, for glue kits most Revell models are a pleasure to build.
  11. That's actually what this kit was. The Revell version.
  12. Looks amazing. I've seen the kit before and often wondered what it would look like finished.
  13. Beautiful
  14. Awesome! Best looking take on a Willys I've ever seen.
  15. I love this model. It's one of the favorites of my collection.
  16. The answer is always Revell. ALWAYS.
  17. Yep, that was my exact problem. Had to find a way to make it work. Other than that though, the kit wasn't too bad to build.
  18. Yes and yes. The arms for the fenders broke so I had to fabricate new ones. Most of the rest of it wasn't too bad. It's just pre-war cars are a bit more challenging to build than the post war.

  20. Never hesitate to post. Amazing job.
  21. Awesome job. These are great kits. Easy to build and with a lot of options. The one I made is one of my favorite models in my collection. SAM_2414 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr
  22. I saw a car exactly like this one today driving down main street North Myrtle. Same colors and everything.
  23. I've been wanting one of these, but the kits are way to expensive.
  24. The AMT convertible kits don't come out looking too bad. Much better looking than the hard top.
