MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Great work so far. Just to let you know, the Miss America P-51D "as raced" had another seat and no radio equipment in the rear of the cockpit.
  2. Prime it with some gas, it looks like it would start. Outstanding detail work.
  3. My Lord, that carb is incredible!
  4. Great work on a weird kit. I have a near finished one on my "shelf of doom".
  5. Good luck on your build. Had a '71 Monte myself, 400ci, 4 bbl, wish I still had it.
  6. Well, this one had been on my shelf of doom for many years. My 48-year-old son who builds tanks had air brush painted all the parts, I just needed to put it together. Pulled it down and started it again. Did okay until I got to the tracks. Each side had 77 individual 2 piece tracks. Man, what a chore, they fought me for hours. I liked the fact that the kit had the parts for both the M50 Super Sherman turret and the M51 Isherman turret that would fit on the kit supplied hull. Comments welcomed.
  7. I had a 1971 Charger (that's what fooled me) but never seen a 1971 Coronet wagon before.
  8. Charger Station Wagon? Never seen one like this. Charger style front end on a Dodge station wagon body. Like the hood and wheels.
  9. Am in need of a 1/24 scale Competition Resin Grand Am Pro Stock body for a current project. Have many (1/24 Revell/Monogram Pro Stock kits) available for trade. Please advise. MM
  10. Well, here's another one that has been on my "Shelf of Doom" for many years. Had done the wheels, tires, engine, chassis and interior but never got around to masking and painting the body. Finally got it painted and started the decals. Was concerned with them as they were probably over 40 years old. Tested the front bumper gold stripe and sure enough it shattered. So, I sprayed the rest of the sheet with clear gloss lacquer and the rest went on fine. Paint is Testors rattlecan Italian Red lacquer, decals by Ace. Glad to have it done. Comments welcome.
  11. Been waiting to build one for many years. Had all the changes planned and parts ready in advance. Thank you, Sir.
  12. Het guys, thanks for your comments.
  13. Well, here's another one that had been on my "shelf of doom" for many years. Started with an MPC '75 Monza annual kit. Tubbed the chassis and interior, took a BBC from the parts box, added twin Holleys and high-rise manifold, added a Lenco trans. Headers from the parts box. Scratch built the interior and Lenco shifter. Wheels and tires from the parts box. Scratch built the engine sheet metal. Scratch built hood scoop. Then, lost interest and back on the shelf. Pulled it down again, painted the stripes and started to apply the decals. Had a problem with the Slixx decals, contacted Becky at Slixx and she sent me a new set. They worked fine. Paint is Testors rattlecan red lacquer over classic white. Future acrylic over the decals and then a coat of clear gloss lacquer. Comments welcome.
