What was the last actual AMT kit issued?
GLMFAA1 replied to Monty's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
As I understand your question you mean the last production at Troy Michigan plant before being sold to Lindsey/Matchbox. Good question. greg. -
In regard to the entertainment center in the El Camino. It was in the original 3n1 kit and the 1997 release. It's disgusting that scoundrels are re boxing new released parts in old boxes and passing them off as original. I saw this in the EBay listings for the AMT kits. greg

Friendly loveable Squirrels..
GLMFAA1 replied to A modeler named mike's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Years ago I had a squirrel who would knock on the door for his treat. He would hang on the screen door protector and rap on the glass. He would go to the tree and then come down and take his 'Chips Ahoy' cookie from my hand and go to a branch and eat it in spiral bites rotating as it got smaller and smaller. Today I have birds to feed and when I put out peanuts the first visitors after the broadcasting blue jays are the squirrels. after dinner siesta greg -

Nice and different, years ago before I found red as my only color I enjoyed both the AMT and the Revell kits of the Willys. Good job on a rescue. greg

For years the AMT American LaFrance pumper kit directions have shown the assembly of the hard suction couplings wrong. This what real hard suction hose ends look like. Hard suction hose is used to draft water from the source to the pumper. It is made of corded hard rubber like a car tire to prevent collapse. Here the correct way the hard suction coupling should look like: To add a little more detail here are some suggestions: When they are placed on the racks both ends are the same: Males on one end and female on the other. Since the female end is larger it is at the rear of the truck. greg

Looking for ideas on how to widen rubber tires

Look for the old 'oil embargo' two piece tires and they would be easier to work with. greg -
How would you repair this?
GLMFAA1 replied to redscampi's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
You could put a protective cover over the glass and insert it to give you some backing when sanding. If really brave cut the corner piece of the glass that is in that area and glue it in place. Looks good so far. Wish I knew of your dilemma years ago as I built a sprint car using the rear end of a Falcon, I had a full roof. greg -
I've been working on a model of this P51 using the AIrfix/MPC 1/24 kit. I used a 3mm Molotow pen several years ago and it's still shiny, I have no pictures of the build. The work stop order is I'm missing the tail wheel. The invasion strips have to be adjusted to fit the decal sheet I got, The model is not proportioned to the real plane. greg
