Other members did ask politely; but, you didn't seem to think it was worthy of a reply. The question wouldn't have been necessary in the first place if you would have been thorough and posted ALL of the relevant dimensions in your first post on the matter. Measure twice, cut once, Chief.

I know the chassis isn't 82 mm wide. I have all three of the Revell Tri-Five kits and am quite familiar with the offset. I threw that figure out there in order to get you to post specific dimensions. It worked.

You better measure again. The chassis is only about 82 mm wide. How can you remove 67 mm from each side? That is what I understand from what you posted. If my interpretation is wrong, please articulate your comment with more precise wording.You also neglected to specifically indicate exactly how much needs to be removed from each side.

I noticed that Fred Sterns hadn't updated his webpage since March. I emailed him on Monday to ask if he was all right. I received a reply from his wife, Dena, who informed me that Fred is suffering some health problems and is presently in long term care. She is selling the inventory and closing the business.

If one doesn't have a Cutlass kit/built up with missing tail lights in the first place, why bother? I'm not likely....no, I won't lay out two large for what amounts to a curbside model if a Cutlass kit is ever produced. I have better things to do with that kind of money.

The problem with Microscle Liquid Decal Film is that it can soak through some decal papers, making it somewhat difficult to remove the decals after soaking them in warm water. You can also use Krylon COLORmaxx Acrylic Crystal Clear. It's more durable. Spray a few light mist coats, let dry and cut the individual decals. You can use Micro Sol and/or Micro Set or any other decal setting products.

Asking a question like this only gets you limited options. Google either "where to buy Plum Crazy model spray paint" or "where to buy Plum Crazy spray paint". Since I don't know from jones if you live in Hojoville, Arkansas or in the Andromeda Galaxy, you'll get tons of results more suited to where you actually live.

Same kit, different stock number.

Nice work! Just a suggestion, don't overdo the chipping. Most AFV's, including tanks, had a short life expectancy and weren't around long enough to exhibit any significant paint wear, especially on the turret. The camo pattern on your Panther is late war and were knocked out within days, or a few weeks at most, of being issued to the respective units.

DON"T use any products containing IPA or other industrial chemicals. Cast resin is porous and will absorb them. Spray cast resin parts with Down POWERWASH Dish Spray, scrub with a toothbrush, rinse with lukewarm water.

Great, you have a friend who has some skin in the game. There was absolutely no reason to say you know something but can't tell us since you won't compromise any confidences by divulging any information obtained from private conversations.That being the case, there is no need for you to play the "Nyah, nyah, I know something you don't know" game unless you're looking for attention. Note that I never wrote that you were creating any drama about this nonsense. Your words: "If you want you can dig around on the net and find most of the drama surrounding Jo-Han right now." "So I am not stirring up dram or useless BS" Mine: "There ain't no "drama" to dig up concerning "Jo-Han USA Oldies LLC", only general, non-informative B.S." I don't see that you mentioned in connection with that remark.

It's all about accumulation, a la the Collyer Brothers. Posting a comment/reply just for the sake of doing so. Adds to one's post count similar to posting all the junk someone buys but never posts pics of anything built.

Huh?!? What's with the cryptic comments? Whaddyamean "lawyer money"? Just like thatz4u's "more news coming in 2024, trailers now, surprises later..."comment, there is no there there. There ain't no "drama" to dig up concerning "Jo-Han USA Oldies LLC", only general, non-informative B.S.Just more vague generalities which explain nothing. Sounds like a copout, man. If the information you have is corroborated by what's on the web, you don't have to worry about a lawsuit. You were in the game long enough to know this, Dave.

Really? Nuthin'....nada....ungatz. Almost two years after that statement, the silence is still deafening. This seems more like vaporware than reality. The Atomic City Rod & Custom Model Car Resource FB page contains absolutely no info/updates about the allegedly resurrected Jo-Han. The only remotely interesting thing on that page is the "Like" for a FB page called "Braless Society". It would be appreciated if anyone who posts any comments/replies which imply any sort of "insider" knowledge concerning this, or any other topic, to please provide facts which corroborate your assertions. Otherwise, it looks like you're just yankin' our chains. Sorta reminds me of....
