No dice with HRM. Nothing remotely close. The only alternative, it seems, are Carrera 85366 1/24 Replacement tires for the Chevrolet® Corvette® Grand Sport Mecom Racing Team, Sebring 12h 1964. They're slot car tires. Better than nothing, I guess.

What's a good set of replacement tires for the GS kit? The tires in the Revell rebox have a pronounced concave dip running around the entire circumference. I have ten of the AM releases and none of the tires in these kits have this problem.

This looks like the designers didn't know if they wanted a Mustang or a 1970 Hemi 'Cuda. Reminds me of

Spotlight Hobbies has them for $4.95 with free shipping when included with a kit order. I don't need a new car kit at the moment; but, hey, who could pass up free shipping?

About a year and a half ago, I checked the site out and there were around 25 pages of kits being auctioned. Plenty of good ones, too. A large percentage of the rare and vintage kits were going for some serious cash. There was a Cyber Hobby DAK Tiger I that caught my eye. Unfortunately, the bidding was up to 176 bucks.

Take two aspirins, rinse, repeat.

That's, like, why only cockroaches and hipsters will survive WW III.

Can you cite the sources for that? Internet B.S. based on "I know somebody whose cousin's nephew's girlfriend's father's barber's plumber's paperboy heard...." nonsense and ridiculously simpleminded chain email scams. Goodwill Industries International, Inc. has always been, and still is, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.

Why? Goodwill has its own online auction site.

I'm picking up an Aurora 864-198 for 14 bucks.

That there wooden bumper was known as the "Wheelman Model". It was offered as an OEM spare in the event you left the steel one in somebody's fence. That second plate might be from Delaware. I found this site pretty informative. If that car was used for some "business", those were some pretty stupid mugs. You're supposed to replace the original set of plates, not hang the new ones over them.

Some folks can't deal with reality. They'll get over it sooner or later. Or not. Their problem if it's the latter.

Don't you think Revell would've continued producing this kit, considering its popularity and that it was selling out so quickly, if it was in possession of the molds?The kit was out of production ever since AM went out of business. Revell never had the molds and never produced any new kits. It was all final existing stock boxed up by Revell.

I wish that Eduard would consider reissuing the PE which came with the AM and Revell releases. That's what is almost never found when getting opened secondhand kits on evilBay.

Could have been used in a hit or a robbery. Murder, Inc., for example, would steal a car and plates that would be used in either from other, distant and separate neighborhoods and park it in a garage they used for such contingencies. When it came time to pull off a job, the stolen plates would be put on the stolen car, preventing the cops from making a positive I.D. When they finished the job, the car would be ditched far enough away from where the job took place to, once again, prevent it being traced it back to them and the boys would use a "clean" car to escape in.

They are acrylic lacquers. I've used the Military Colors and can't recommend them enough. Use their Gaia color thinner for best results. Check out the Gaianotes website.

You asked about eliminating static charge in a wooden spray booth, correct? I replied that a wooden spray booth wouldn't have that problem for the reasons stated, correct? You never indicated in your posts that there were plexiglass windows on the booth, correct? Therefore, you received an answer based on the information you provided. You want to eliminate a static charge from the plexiglass and car body? Simple. Lightly wipe them with a fabric softener sheet. Works the same as an anti-static cloth. No need to spray any liquid on either.

You asked a question, I provided the answer/explanation. Basic high school physics. Wood doesn't carry a static charge because it doesn't conduct electricity. If you were using a metal booth, the simple solution would be to attach a ground strap from the booth to another metallic object. Grounding is the process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial size. When a charged object is grounded, the excess charge is balanced by the transfer of electrons between the charged object and a ground. In order to develop a static charge, there must be a free movement of electrons through the material. That state doesn't exist in wood; therefore, there is no static charge to eliminate. That's why it's used as an insulator. If you don't believe me, Google it.

Rumors of his demise are obviously premature. There isn't any report on any wire services confirming this. Actor John Agar was reported dead numerous times over a twenty year period before he cashed his chips in 2002.

There is no static charge to eliminate. Wood doesn't create static electricity because it isn't a conductor of electricity.

Being an idiot savant, I scored 100%.

It sure does. Although, that greater detail still requires that one's Mk.1 eyeballs are able to properly focus while creating the aforementioned greater details. As other posters have stated, Opti-Visors or reading glasses will allow you to see your work more clearly; and, that includes 1/25 and smaller. You won't have to sacrifice building in "smaller" scales because you don't see as well.
