Found these bombs in the spare parts box. They look like B61 nuclear bombs in 1/72 scale molded in black. Can anyone tell me what kit they came in? Am in need of two more and their fins. Going to add them to a B-58 Hustler project I am working on. Thanks in advance to your help.

Cool rebuild. I also have a glue bomb I restored on my shelf.

One of my first blunder's was when I was just starting the hobby as a kid. I had won a new '62 Impala kit at our school model car contest. Being that the kit was free I decided to buy my first can of spray paint. I put the body on newspaper on the floor of our carport an sprayed. Being enamel paint I went inside and left it to dry. I did not notice that my mother was taking our parakeet's cage outside to be cleaned in the carport. When I returned to check on the body I saw it was covered in birdseed hulls and parakeet poop! My fault, I should have never left it outside. Wish I had had purple pond cleaner in those days.

Man, talk about turning a sow's ear into a silk purse! Great work.

Okay, here is my collection. A Hawk Chaparral II unbuilt, a restored Monogram 2D, Marklin 2F and a Politoys 2J. Also have a built IMC Chaparral 2E somewhere in my collection. Also here is a great pic (from the internet) of the Jim Hall's Chaparral reunion. From left to right in the pic: A 2D, 2F, 2H, Chaparral Indy car (2K), 2E, 2J and a 2A.

There were 14 in all. Pic is missing Chezoom Hemi-Corvair, Piranha and Allison Thunderland T-Bird.

The one in the bottom pic was scratch built from a Monogram 1/32 rear engine dragster.

Walmart by me has them at rollback price of $1 for a 2 liter bottle.

I like how he offset the "Oxdrive" to the right for a less obstructed driver view on the left! Also, less direct pollution of the dreaded methane "ox farts".

Great rebuild and wow, what a collection. Love that blue and white "Smirnoff?" FED.

Scratch built one from a stock AMT '58 Edsel kit. Made my own fender skirts and used the chassis, engine and tin from the AMT awb Dyno Don Comet funny car. Looks more like a real funny car than the "Unreal" one.

Found this built 1/48 Monogram F-14A in the attic that my son had done 30 years ago. He had not painted it but the decals were shot, so I cleaned them off and we started over. Got some current 1/48 Maverick F-14A decals and had my son air brush the current camo. Couldn't save the landing gear so we rebuilt it in flight with closed doors. A true survivor.

My thoughts exactly. Dealer wanted $1100 more for the blacked out wheels on my Durango, I passed.

Same here! X2

Sorry to be so late in answering your question, but yes it slides back to meet the cowl when closed.

Good start. Love those Daytona's. Always impressed with Doug Whyte's Daytona Charger build.

Wow, the engine and bay are incredible. Great build.

Built a couple of boats, and some WWII ships. One rigged out Cutty Sark (never again). Where is Tim Boyd?

Had a set of those simulated wire wheels on my 240Z but they were by Appliance Wheels.

Redid my Johan '70 Petty Superbird doing the same chassis parts swap as my '64 Belvedere.

Thanks. Alot of modelers on this forum have used the AMT '69 Plymouth GTX/'68 Plymouth Road Runner chassis/suspension as a replacement for the Johan promo style one. It's well detailed and a close fit.

Had this one in my stash for decades. A Johan (molded in green) Richard Petty 1964 Plymouth Belvedere. Painted many years ago but never assembled because of that (promo style molded in mufflers, tailpipes, drive shaft, rear axle, springs and shocks) chassis. Well, I finally decided to cut off the back of the JoHan chassis at the transmission mount and add an MPC DOH Charger frame (of which I have many) bottom to it, cut off at the rear torsion bar mounts. Painted in Testors rattle can "Petty Racing Blue", scratch built air intake and front suspension, added drive shaft/rear axle/springs and shocks. The Johan decals shattered in warm water (they were very old) so I used a replacement set from Power Line. Glad to have it done.

Now that's a great collection of builds! 'it ain't braggin' if you done it" Dizzy Dean

Following your work very closely and taking notes. I also have one in my stash and have had it out and put back up many times over the last few decades. Excellent work and good information.
