It's still has some way to go before it catches up with "Hobbico-BANKRUPT!"; but I have faith in the membership to get it done.

Citroen produced this system to address the numerous complaints from vertically challenged people who experienced difficulty entering and exiting their fine line of clown cars.

Well, my order was delivered ten minutes ago by our perpetually grouchy mail truck driver. The loot is as described. Time to blow some more mazuma at Sales Shack.

It certainly did. Thanks for clearing things up.

"New" IMC? How could that be? Testors owned the brand, along with Hawk, and sold both to Lindberg. Lindberg owned the rights to the name(s) at that point. Since the acquisition of Lindberg by Round2, it now owns the rights to the Lindberg/Hawk/IMC properties. Re IMC and Johan, see my reply to Luc's comments. No threads specifically related to IMC. How did Johan get tied into the discussion about IMC? Neither company has/had anything to do with the other.

Industro-Motive Corporation (IMC) was acquired by Testors in 1970 which would make it impossible for the company to release anything.

Hey, right behind baseball, rumor-mongering is America's national pastime.

You're not building or painting a kit made of plastic spoons. Test it on the kit sprue. It will give you a more accurate idea as to compatibility. Vallejo paints don't have much "bite" if applied on unprimed surfaces. It's always recommended that parts be primed prior to use. I'm speaking from years of experience using Vallejo acrylics on armor models. I've used Testors Dullcote on Vallejo paints without any cracking, crinkling or blistering. Even better if you have Vallejo 70.520 Matte Varnish or 70.522 Satin Varnish, use them.

That Chebby is roadworthy as long as it's driven on a runway. It wouldn't last 30 minutes on the streets here in NYC. Our infamous potholes will have it for lunch.

Ebay, www.culttvmanshop.com, Squadron, Sprue Bros., and so on. Google the items and watch what comes up.

I'm a film noir fan myself.

If the instructions were printed to emulate real blueprints, they would have looked like negatives, that is, white images and lettering on a blue or black background. My technical drawing teacher at Brooklyn Technical H.S., C. Kyrie Kallas, taught us how to make blueprints from technical drawings we drew. They don't make' em like him anymore.

I ordered a couple of kits Sunday night. They went out earlier this afternoon and I should get them on Wednesday. I can't get mail sent from across the street delivered that quickly.

Okay, Bill. YOU are the exception.

How 'bout coring a apple? Is there an app for that?

Not too shabby for a dime store kit. Everyone is looking and disparaging Palmer models through the jaded eyes of adults who seemed to have conveniently forgotten, or wish to forget, their youth. I seriously doubt there there is anyone here who, as a six to ten year old, actually knew, or cared, about correct body lines, accurate proportions, etc. A lot of kids back then would get their introduction to model building by buying these models at the candy store while checking out the comic book racks. I know I, and most of my friends, did.

The actual vehicle uses the same Michelin X 16.00R20 XZL tires as the M1070 HET tractor. I'm giving you the measurements from the HobbyBoss M1070 HET tires. That translates to 37mm tall, 11.4mm wide and 18mm wheel opening. Plan on using them for a1/24-1/25 off-road vehicle project?

That's the only way you'll get it.

Would the windup key be relocated for aesthetic purposes?

I'm an Army vet and a product of Catholic schools; so, my knowledge of maledicta is extensive. I'm at a loss to think of one that fits.

Give credit where credit is due. Palmer Plastics wasn't the equivalent, it was the king. In addition to the ubiquitous plastic soldiers, Palmer produced tchotcke such as promotional pins for various corporations, radio stations and record companies, water guns, toys, trinkets and costume jewelry that were sold in the same dime stores alongside the plastic dog faces.

There isn't a word which currently exists to accurately describe that.

Therein lies the problem, only three languages. A native Gujarati speaker wouldn't have known that.
