Weren't there wide floatation tires in the original kit? greg -
Well might as well give my opinion on planes: I agree with the XB 70, the B 58 Hustler, The P 51 Some what amused at the C 130 because I remember the original nose on the plane My two together planes are the B52 mother plane and the X 15 to go along with the P51 the Vought F4U Corsair for prop plane and last but not least is the Candair CL 415 greg

My oldest is AMT Craftsman series 1964 Chevelle snap together. to get the stance was to make lower holes for the axle which was close to the standard hole so heated up sprue was jammed into axle relief in the chassis Have no idea where I got the deep dish rims from, greg

Fourth of July Chevy pickup
GLMFAA1 replied to GLMFAA1's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
The finale: Presenting Ron with a replica of his truck, Good thing I didn't go for detail, found out he has friction shocks, a Camaro rear end, dual exhaust, a/c, and a bigger 6 banger than the kit, He spotted the difference and thought it was a 1951, He was very appreciative to get a surprise gift on the Fourth -
Hobby Lobby Summer 19 clearance
GLMFAA1 replied to Mr. Metallic's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Hope you got the extended warranty on the heat gun, maybe turned mine on about five times and the elements fused together and bam no gun. The whole circuit runs through the elements so when they go the fan motor stops greg -
I first saw this truck last 4th of July, was able to get some quick pics the next day. It's '48 but I'm using the '50 Kept the build a secret and had difficulty with the painting so it went on the back burner, I matched the paint using Humbrol #20 crimson. This what the interior looks like. going to fix the turn signal a little oversize, Got the bed done Hopefully have it done in two days, repainted the body as I first had fish eyes in the paint, the color is off due to bulb cover in spray booth Got the hubcaps awhile ago, had to notch them for the vale stem in the rims to get them centered, This kit is the original kit and I had other plans for it close enough to a 48 Chevy in 1/25th scale, Had problem with the engine and drive shaft, had to take cut it down to get the engine to seat in the right place, then the oil filter on the intake manifold makes it hard to get the body on the chassis. interesting build, hopefully a nice gift greg
