What does that mean?

Good tip. BTW, is that a "front wheel drive" promo? I'm not very familiar with promos, but that just struck me as funny. The car it depicts is obviously RWD.

As weird as it sounds, it might be combination of words or letters in the text of your post. At least that is what I found out when I had this problem.

Man, that car looked like a long lost version of the Polish FSO Syrena. I wonder if the Polish designers "borrowed" some of that car's design. The body shape is very similar, and the door handles look almost identical. And a photo of a later model showing the door handle.

Well, it is manual - you just do all the shifting with paddles, and there is no clutch pedal.

You do have a point. It is a very bright silver. How about using one of the many Alclad II's shades of aluminum. All those basically have no grain. Then just clear coat them for a nice glossy car finish.

But all the photos I find online *HAVE* the BMW-style grille. I was hoping to find photos showing the ItalDesign-style grille - zilch! The only ones I find are of the Revell model.

How about a Spruce Goose takeoff?

Well, the original Wright Bros. aircraft was not all that attractive. Neither were many of the other early airplanes.

Looks pregnant. Like I mentioned in my earlier post here, eventually every aircraft will be mentioned here. A list of ugly aircraft would be much shorter.

. . . and just few months ago we were complaining about the cold and that nasty 4-letter word. Yes, Spring and Fall (hopefully long) are my favorite seasons.

NICE!

Tamiya Silver Leaf (spray can TS-30) has no perceivable flake texture. Tru-Color paints like Aluminum TCP-013 and Dark Aluminum TCP-355 also have very little (if any) flake.

I went to USPS website and selected small 1lb. package to UK. Lowest price is 1st Class International Package. $24.00US. https://postcalc.usps.com/Calculator/MailServices?country=10143&ccode=GB&omil=False&dmil=False&mdt=7%2F17%2F2019&mdz=8%3A29&m=6&dvi=20&p=1

I use this forum to host photos for my posts here. After the Photobucket fail the admins here made plenty of storage space available. Still, I resize my photos to less than 1200 pixels across (often down to 800), because I don't think that a larger resolution photo is really needed for a forum post. That way I also feel that I am conserving some of that plentiful space for others and for future use.

I was just joking, but thanks Joe!

But does it come in blue?

Wow! That one looks familiar, yet different. Its body lines and door handles look like a popular car, but yet, it is not what I would expect.

Great presentation Scott!

My mom had a '76 (IIRC) 4-door Monarch. She called a "small V8" (so, a 302). It was baby blue with dark blue vinyl roof and trim, and dark blue interior with a front bench seat. I was in my mid teens then and I lover the factory radio with 4 speakers. When it got totaled, she got a '77 T-bird.

If he is willing to take on Dale's business, be prompt and reliable (and do as good of a job as Dale did), we could start online campaign to fund the move. What do you guys say?

Washer fluid contains diluted methyl alcohol (methanol) - that is likely the chemical which removes the Tampo printed ink.

Yes, this is good for plating metal parts (BTW, "copy chrome" is not as bright as the real chrome), but most modelers are looking for vacuum metalizing of polystyrene or urethane resin parts. For that the best process is aluminum vacuum metalizing. This process can give a chrome-like finish to plastic and metal parts.

If the car overheats, always check for a broken buckle on the fan belt.
