An interesting model you've built here. I like the hand straps inside and the wheels and white lettered tires seem pretty fancy for a taxi. Looks like you did a real nice job.

Those are really nice scratch made gas caps. I'll use yours as a guide to make my own. Thanks.

Well, what I see looks great so don't beat yourself up. Too bad we can't see all your interior work though. Very nice paint job also.

Looks like it should be in the dealers showroom. Nice! Always wanted to get this kit and build it as a stock car like I did when I was a kid. Fun to see the model and box again.

Everything looks great! That interior looks like real vinyl.

Those aren't bad but not exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the help though. I will probably continue to try and come up with some that look half way acceptable since I'm not finding an easy route.

No photos but they're going to be caps from the 60's and 70's mostly. Any time I build circle tracks cars I need to replicate a gas filler and I've run out of extras in my parts box and just can't seem to scratch build one that looks right. That's why I asked if anyone knew of a site that might make some. I see plenty of other parts available but not gas caps.

Flawless! Everything looks great. Enjoyed looking at your pictures of it.

Just got through reading all about him. My wife loved him and I always liked him as an actor and especially the way he portrayed the Bond character. Just never seemed to take it too serious which sold me on the movies. I didn't take it that seriously either so it worked for me.

One of the problems I noticed with the hoarding some months ago was you never knew what they were gonna strip the shelves of. There were times I couldn't find tortillas, noodles, eggs, dishwashing soap or soup. It would vary from week to week. Then suddenly it would be back in stock. Made it real tough to grocery shop like a normal person would.

I need a supply of gas caps/filler necks for race cars but can't find anyone who makes resin or plastic ones. In the past I've used sprue and had a few caps in my parts box but those are gone. Specifically any oval track car needs some kind of believable looking cap on the rear fender or back of the car and just wondered if anyone has a source or their own way of making scratch made ones. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the update. Always like kit reviews for the help that's given when building the model and it gives me info on whether or not I'm going to buy the kit so I definitely look forward to this part of the magazine.

Decided to check out this show. Picked the one where he makes a race car with a V12 engine. I enjoyed it as there wasn't yelling or arguing going on. I'll turn it off as soon as they start that "stuff". Might watch another 1 or 2 shows. That guy looks like he's had a tough life.

Yes, in the past I've kind of been able to just scroll past them but have noticed there are WAY more of them lately.

On my daily dog walk I go to a field where everyone thinks they don't need to pick up their dog poop because, hey, it's a field. Always feel funny picking up my dogs poop especially when there's a pile right next to what my dog just did but I'm responsible. Something that has become lost on so many people these days.

Nice! Decals look perfect!

That's a lot of decals to apply and get lined up right but you did good. I like your finished model and your paint scheme looks great.

Man that looks great! I have built some 1/43rd kits when I was younger but wouldn't want to do one now. You've still got it covered even at 68!

Very nice! Any time you take on a Martini livery you're going to expect a lot of work with decals but I guess you know that.

When people have asked which version of Van Halen I like better, Roth or Haggar, I always answer "it's even". Both are a bit different style of music but I like it all. Everyone in that band contributed so much talent.

Always wanted to do a van with interior stuff provided. Never owned a real one but spent plenty of time in them in my younger years so would like to build one just for "old days" memories.

I use Tamiya straight from the can all the time with no problems. No primer but the bodies have been sanded to remove mold lines then washed. I would be one of those who say that Tamiya spray paint is "idiot proof" because I'm not a great painter but Tamiya makes it look like I am.

I like how you described it as a beast but from the review I understand. All your work produced a very nice looking model. I built the 1/20th scale but didn't think I would do the 1/12th version. Good for you on finishing it.

Still remember when Van Halen first started and couldn't believe how every song was great on their first couple of albums. Obviously Eddie's guitar playing was a big part of that. He just seemed to do amazing things and it looked so easy for him. Sad day.
