	Take pics! I’d love to see it.

	Thank you all! 👍🏼

	Same here. I think it’s aged pretty well, and they look great when setup properly.

	Thank you. I agree, it does build up well!

	Hello Everyone, I’m starting off 2025 with a build that lingered from 2024. Here is my version of the 1990 Ford Mustang by Revell. It’s mainly box stock, other than seat belts, plug wires, and an ignition. I painted it with Testors Graphite Dust and Testors Clear. Various other paints were used through out. I wet sanded and polished it, then hit it with Tamiya polishing compounds which I tend to be a fan of. I recommend this kit and it was a fun one to build with nice aftermarket parts out of the box. Thank you for checking it out and I hope you all enjoy. - Steve

Agreed, the directions were vague and the part fit wasn’t ideal on some important parts. Thank you all ?? -

I agree, it had its challenges and I didn’t plan accordingly for them. Lesson learned! Thank you for mentioning the hood ornament. I think that is something I can go back and fix. Thanks again! - 
	Hi Everyone, I finally got around to finishing this up. This one took me a while as life sometimes just gets in the way of being able to be at the bench. Anyways, here is my completed AMT Peterbilt 359 California Hauler. I don’t typically build big rigs but wanted to give one a try. This kit definitely came with some fitment challenges. I really should have taken the time to totally build this one up without any paint to really get the fitment perfect, as doing that once everything was painted took a lot of time, and even some repainting. All in all I am happy with the way this one came out and it should look pretty good on the shelf. I finished it in Testors Extreme Lacquer Bronze and cleared with their Extreme Lacquer Clear. The frame was shot with Krylon Gloss Black. This kit did include the sleeper however I opted for the day cab version. The engine was also shot with Krylon Gloss Yellow. Since it was my first build I really wanted to focus on just building it box stock. Thanks for looking and following along with this build. Any comments / advice for future builds are welcome! - Steve

				When will we be seeing issue 225
1hobby1 replied to bobthehobbyguy's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions
I am also eager for the next one and agree, the number of issues must be quarterly. I do love this magazine. I subscribed last October and have since only received 3 copies since subscribing (222,223 and 224). On the website it shows a yearly subscription receiving 6 copies (which what I opted for). Unless three more releases are planned between now and December... I'd prefer to renew a 2 year subscription this time of 12 copies but, so far it seems to be running a couple issues behind. I could be wrong though. Any insight on issue 225 arriving would be great! It would be a shame to pay for 'X' amount and receive less. If I am wrong here please inform me, I do not mean any of the above in a negative way. Just explaining my situation. -Steve -
