Sorry, too many T's in my life thinking of the other trainer T-38 Talon. Yes I know the Talon is a jet trainer. Last Trojan I saw they were changing a 'jug' at an air show. greg

Interested in the T-28 Talon? check this out: https://www.proxibid.com/1951-NORTH-AMERICAN-T28-A-NAVY-TRAINER/lotInformation/67290670?utm_source=bm23&utm_medium=email&utm_term=1951+North+American+T28-A+Navy+Trainer&utm_content=Proxibid's+Featured+Vehicles,+Marine+%26+Aviation+Auctions+|+March+14+-+April+4&utm_campaign=vehiclesblast_03.14.22 It's for sale. 1 to 1 scale model greg

Condolences to his family and friends, Now I've lost both Jim and Dave. greg

What irks me is the model manufactures that relabel/misidentify the model. ie the thread right now regarding the AMT 'Big Rig' trailer. That was originally IMC/Testors kit. It is getting confusing to see Revell morph into AMT morph into MPC morph into AMT morph into Italeri morph into Atlantis morph into Monogram morph into Ertl etc. etc. etc........ If you don't have license to use the original manufacturer, just put it out as a rerelease under your company name. greg

Still modifying the LNT engine to fit. greg

I don't have a white rig in my build collection, so I gave it a shot. This is an old Pinecrest cab and the AMT ALF pumper body. Body was broken previous to construction and cracked during assembly when the kit interior was placed. It fits on the city delivery chassis without any wheelbase alterations. AMT Ford LNT wheels used. greg

One of my first car models was the AMT kit, nice job on the land yacht. Be sure to check Jay Leno's garage show where he critiques a 1958 Continental not yet a Lincoln. greg

Great piece from the innovative 70's. I don't think the idea got any further than Pennsylvania. Probably on the west coast. Lots of the mini stuff was built by the smaller manufacturers like Hammerly. The Dodge was used a lot in fire apparatus applications. Early chariot, nice to see. Paul Kort mini pumper using the Revell midnight cowboy cab Unknown builder from FAMBA meet. Big rig with big reels Ted Calvin's CDR foam rapid response vehicle My version of mini pumper using MPC Dodge and Chevy pumper kits greg greg

Yes, the entire 'glass' tree was green including the running light lenses. If anyone has the battery step, front fender side reflectors, and the passenger side lower body extension and want to part with them I'm interested. greg

Going to make another mold, not quite what I wanted. greg

OK, Time to get this back to auto modeling. My original comment was regarding what was called 'milk carton models.' Back in the 70's oil crisis there was more recycled beads added to the injection machines due to lack and cost of real styrene beads. For those that don't remember or seen the plastic was off color, sometimes opaque and pearlized. Here is a comparison for you to see. greg

The Valiant guitar plant was also destroyed. greg

This is to replace a model I gave away to a medical fundraiser raffle. The AMT American Lafrance pumper body placed on the AMT Ford C cab delivery frame. Modified the wheelbase, Mix of Testor's red paints, and tarp made of paper. greg

Getting this one back together after 15 years of sitting in shoe box. Kept the green windows and headlights. Used MPC Mack fenders in rear. Can't find battery step, passenger side body extension and the front fender reflectors. Unknown front bumper I grabbed out of the parts box. greg

The project continues. Made mold of the die cast. Once cleaned up will drill out lights and use kit lights. still working on hood greg

Nice job on the car. My one question would the Monogram kit being 1/24th and the Lindberg kit being 1/25th show the difference of the downsizing the real car had or are the kits the same size? greg

Is this show still on? greg

Thanks for posting, nice to see some of the older show cars back on the circuit. greg

Contact paypal and advise them regarding what occured with your account, there is a paypal site to report fake sites to them. greg

There might be a few of us who remember $1.39/49 kits and .10cent Testor's paints. My first car model was a AMT 1959 Mercury convertible. greg

Will we be seeing 'milk carton' plastic again? Will model prices go out of the range of the hobbyist? greg

Neptune's auto sales have been resupplied. Moving up to the exotic market. Question is who will dive for all the chips in the cars? The eels now have a recharging station greg

No Coke just Pepsi: greg

Lookin' good. remember 'driver carrys no cash.' Don't forget the door straps, use Charlie's paper bag trick for them. Good luck with the Land Rover in the back. greg

My condolences to his family and friends, I don't know of him but, I'm sure I met him at one of the NNL meets greg
