you might check out some of the offerings at Replicas & Miniatures . They have a couple sets. I ordered a set that was originally in their Tweedy Pie (original ) kit

Kind of surprised there were no Bradley GT models produced

Not sure the Cobra fits in this group It started out as a car not a kit car. Although there are kits (1:1) to make a Cobra Kit Car most model kits are of the Cobra not the Cobra Kit Cars. (Now I am confused)

My club gets a 10% discount at HB. My club also puts on seminars at both HT and HL. Hobby towns main concern is RC and model cars are an after though so they carry minimal amounts of anything. You can order what you need but it may be awhile before it comes in.

Thanks I will have to see if I can locate one. Only kit I have for 53 is theMPC. Thanks

Ace, that is exactly what I was looking for. I resume that none are available in a kit or resin. I could possibly scratch build one Thank

Which one ?

They just opened up a Hobby Lobby in my area. As far as Model car kits they have about the same as Michaels. They do have other models that Michaels doesn't carry but carry a lot of the other art stuff that Michaels carries. With their similarities in store stock and coupons available I thought maybe they were both connected in ownership in some way.v Your thoughts ?

Building a 56 Ford mild custom with tri power. Trying to decide what air cleaner(s) to use . Did they use any one piece air cleaners back in the 50's/60's ? I have the standard round chrome ones that are commonly used and the finned ones that was in my Tri Power kit from R&M of which I can not seem to find any 1:1 air cleaners to compare them with.

Meecum Auctions this week. Some interesting cars coming up. The Golden Sahara and the Kookie T (in it's newest form) on Saturday. Lots of detail photo opportunities,

I am thinking Podcasts and youtube "how-tos" and "product revues" may be a bit different.

Our local Club (SABA) will be discussing the use of making Podcasts to help promote model building for the younger generation. I have zero experience with podcasts. I would like your thoughts on the subject. Thanks

I have the pre-painted T kit and it is a very basic screw together kit. Picked it for my Grandson

Why not ? The additional dialogue was very informative to me and others.

Yes Mark answered the initial question. And others added some very helpful and information and insights. And I thank you all.

Yes it has the long narrow battery. Not sure what direction to go on this , but I may just do a custom such as the one in the pic

This kit shows square headlights and round headlights optional

I thought it may be an original issue until I found this on google. According to Wiki they didn't make one in 64

Not on box . not on instructions , no decals

Anyone know the date of issue for the AMT AVANTI 20175-150 ? Thanks

Picked this up at an estate sale today for $4. Not sure if the placement of the steering wheel is correct as there were no instructions

I filled the Cobra body with clay, now that you reminded me. Not sure what plastic I was using thou ?

I dug out my old homemade vacuum former for reference. I made this after reading an article in a model mag, somewhere in the 90's. I had good access to plexiglass at the time. It was designed to use a shop vac.connected via the plumbing connectors. I have so been unable to find the metal framework with handle that would clamp around a sheet of plastic (8.5 x 11). The method of operation was to place the buck (item to be copied) on the top and heat the plastic sheet mounted in the framework, place it in a toaster oven until the plastic started to sag. Then quickly place it over the vacuum box and hit the shop vac "on" switch. I only used it once to try and duplicate a Cobras Daytona body for slot car use. Unfortunately it would not curve inwards at the base of the sides.

Thats a hard no from me. But everybody is entitled to their own taste. Even an ugly child is loved by their Mama
