    Don't forget the escape hatch opening in the roof.

    Outstanding. A Fujimi kit, you say. I have the old AMT issue with an extra built engine but they (the engines) are not as detailed as the HRM one you used.

    Wow, but he needs to put it in a Pickup truck. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/this-airplane-engine-1939-plymouth-pickup-is-radically-radial/ar-AAhLuXP?li=BBisPVf&ocid=spartandhp#image=AAhLnrK|64

    Great article on the '69 Mr. Gasket Gasser. http://performance.ford.com/enthusiasts/newsroom/2016/11/_ohio-george_-montgomerys-1969-boss-429-aa-gs-mr--gasket-gasser.html

    Did Shirley's '77 Championship winning car using a California Charger kit (Got it cheap as decals were bad). Used Slixx decals. All I had to scratch build was the front nose panel and swap to 426 valve covers.

    Retried the pic. Had to use different decals as originals were destroyed in the purple pond.

    You did an outstanding job on a very "fiddley" model. I restored an IMC Gulf GT-40 model years ago and it almost went in the trash many times.

    Not trying to hijack your thread but haven't seen an update in a while. Your work inspired me to do a body swap on my OOB Jawbreaker. Used the Fiat body from an MPC Slingshot dragster in my stash. Still not sure on decal choice. Any progress on yours to report?

    Or as Fido would say, "ruff, ruff".

    Been building since '59, and I agree entirely.

    You know, you never get a second chance to make a "good first impression"!

    The carpet monster works for Murphy.

    Do you mean this pic?

    It depends on what scale you prefer. AMT Nascar kits are 1/25th scale and Monogram (Revell) are 1/24th scale. Their parts do not interchange well.

    After seeing the pics of the box contents I am glad I have a Franklin Mint Petty Nascar Olds. It's a shame they didn't use one of these for their master. I'll pass on this new kit.

    Whoa, thanks guys. I guess I need to do some research.

    Yep, I got a VL this morning for $35 at my local HL. Now I need to get a compressor.

    You are correct. 16 % of 1 scale inch is 1/6 of and inch. 1/4 scale inch equals 6 1/4 real inches in 1/25th scale. 1/2 inch in 1/25th scale equals 12 1/2 real inches, 3/4 of an inch in 1/25 scale equals 18 3/4 real inches and 1 inch in 1/25th scale equals 25 real inches,
  21. magicmustang
    Actually, it is closer to 1/6". 1/25th scale is 1scale inch equals 25 real inches , so 25" divided by 4" equals a little over 6. That's 1/6 inch.

    Thanks for the memories. I made a mess of the F-100 back in '63. Had the Bonneville kart on display in my room until we moved.

    My records show I bought the Airfix 007 Aston Martin DB-5 for $79 off Ebay in Jan, 2000. Nice kit, love all the spy equipment. Sold the Aurora kit for $90 in 2010.
  24. magicmustang
    Also have an unbuilt Airfix one. Never started due to badly tire damaged windows. Traded off my Aurora kit of one, as it was curbside. Will be watching.

    You need to go to Chris's tread on this forum. He did a great job. Oh, and Mopar Mark did a good job. too.
