That's what pets are for.

We, and a few others, are in the minority on this. My armor kits cost, on average, a whole lot more than fifty bucks each. But, you get what you pay for. The majority seems to want styrene swellness at bargain basement prices.

Using a #61 drill bit, make a dimple in the center of the turn signal. Paint the dimple with Metalizer Aluminum, let it dry and apply a small amount of Model Master Turn Signal Amber into the dimple. When that is dry, apply a light coat of gloss clear or Future over the signal lens.

Here it is in everybody's favorite pseudo-lingo, Esperanto: Certiĝu la cemento ne alkondukos la cemento al la antaŭa glaco kun via fingro konektante la fjordo pipoj al la cemento fjordo. Sure clears things up, eh?

The same could be said about a slew of '50s autos which seem like no-brainer subjects as scale model kits.

Mike Miller, proprietor of Wings, Wheels and Waves, bought MCW Auto Finishes. If you're going to order MCW paints, use this order form or call (330) 830-7755 to make a phone order. You'll need to peruse the paint listings at MCW because WWW doesn't list them on its site.

Tip for filling in the slots on the chassis: Instead of using plastic filler and/or rods, use Magic-Sculpt, or some other similar two part epoxy putty. Just squeeze the Magic-Sculpt into the cavities and, using a wet finger, smooth the epoxy down to match the contours. The putty doesn't shrink when dry and there isn't the possibility of warpage as there is when using solvents to bond the styrene rods. Once the epoxy is dry, you'll only need to use a medium sanding stick/ paper for final shaping.

Anybody need a radiacmeter? You're being fed a line of bulltwinkies, Brian. The sanctions don't affect small businesses. They're meant to to put a hurt on the Russian government. I ordered a pile of Masterclub resin nuts, bolts and rivets from Armor35.ru and received them within 10 days. Business as usual.

Read Bill's replies above.

If you cut out extraneous, non-productive activities, like sleeping, you'd have 6-8 hours more building time per day.

"Vintage" is the preferred catchword used to imply rarity and exclusivity of an item in order to get some sucker to overpay for it. This is especially true when it comes to clothing. "Used" is inelegant and "pre-owned" has become played out. So, calling something "vintage" gives it the "gotta have" status that the average clueless dope looks for when shopping for junk. Those sweat stained armpits on the VINTAGE Hawaiian print shirts you're interested in buying? Oh, they're also VINTAGE . They belong to the original owner.

I've seen this on ebay when checking for Johan kits. Johan 1959 Rambler Wagon

That would have been Wednesday, Oct. 17th, 1956, between 11: 48: 34 A.M. and 11: 49: 08 A.M.

As my cat is fond of saying, "Believe nothing you hear and one half that you see."

Thanks anyway, Steve. John (GMCMAN52) was able to square me away with some.

My mistake. I copied the wrong image. Yeah, it's the dog dish caps I need to build the 150s. The old Revell '55 Chevys also only have full covers. I went through my AMT '55 Bel Airs and Nomads; same deal. Only wheel covers. Correct image

PM sent. Thanks.

That's the kit(s) to be built as NYPD RMP's. This kit doesn't contain dog dish caps, only full sized wheel covers for the stock version, chrome reversed rims but no steel wheels.

The caps The wheel(s)

Thanks Steve; but, I was hoping to find resin versions. I can't justify laying out 80+ bucks for two kits just for the wheels and hubcaps.

I picked up a built Johan '64 Coupe deVille hardtop on eBay for dirt cheap. The most important thing is that the tailfin tips are intact. I had to fabricate new tips for my '64 ragtop and it was a royal pain.

I need a few sets to use on some '56 Chevys which I'll build as NYPD patrol cars. I've searched through the AM manufacturers and came up with nothing. Anybody know of a source?

Talk to anyone who was "on the job" during that time and, to a person, they'll tell you that's an accurate depiction of a typical day in a detective squad room. Oldtimers would say that "Naked City" nailed it as well.
