Actually, military AFV modelers, me included, prefer resin or 3D printed wheels and tires for the same reasons that car modelers complain about. That's why there are so many aftermarket companies producing them.

Elon Musk's inspiration. He was Fred.

Norman Bates was ahead of the times.

It's a bungee/shock cord.

It comes equipped with a driver side periscope mounted in the roof.

I was stuck on the phone with a Microsoft customer service rep named "Mary Murphy". Yeah. Right. I asked "Mary" if she liked corned beef and cabbage. CLICK! m

Plastic spoons aren't a good test medium because, although they're made from polystyrene, their composition is chemically different from what kit manufacturers use. You will learn which paints and primers are compatible with plastic spoons; but, not for the various types of styrene kits are molded from. Use runners from parts trees from a specific kit instead.

This kit is a OCD fanatic's dream. Virtually every stinkin' interior detail found under the actual aircraft's skin is modeled. This is a bargain for 600 bucks. The same goes for HpH Models' 1/48 B-52H Stratofortress. It's worth every penny of its $743 USD price tag

If it ain't broke, why the hell try to fix it? The new minimalist category listing system sucks. The momos even got rid of military sub-listings. I've been using Vintage Model Kits to search for kits on ebay for years. I can find exactly what I want with it.

More like rats in a maze. Lessee which way they'll go, Perfesser.

Ah, just like recycling centers.

Good work, Rich. Dropping the rear improves the look.

Not to mention the heated discussions regarding the correct shade of flat clearcoat to impart the exact representation of flat finish that will be buffed out to a perfect semigloss sheen.

You can add Tiger I's and Pz IV's to that list. I'm surprised that a kit representing an Early/Mid/Late production Tiger I completed on April 23, 1944 at 4:47:14 P.M. with realistically detailed, 74 piece PE beverage stains on the engine hatch representing the beer that Udo Fartfinger, Lehrling Schraubertechniker 3. Klasse. spilled when he kicked over a bottle of flat Nörten Hardenberger Bock. ,

There are more '57 Chevy kits available than the actual number of this particular model which were produced by General Motors. With relatively few exceptions, there's nothing that makes the majority stand out in the crowd.

They do, just not in the U.S. market.

Does anyone else here know that NASA was paying Russia $90 million per astronaut to send them to the ISS because it foolishly retired the shuttle and left our space program without a suitable replacement? If not for SpaceX, Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic, manned space research and innovation would be still mired in the protracted moribundity exhibited by NASA.

“Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.”

They'd say that the convex shape of the observation windows distorted what they saw.

Smile! You're on Candid Camera! If you have a smart TV, you needn't look any further.

Intelligent use of the internet to find an answer to a question. You're setting a bad example, Steve.

Hey, Johnny. Don't politicize my thread and get it locked. If you got problems with the subject, keep them to yourself and scroll on by.

It's a start for civilian/commercial space exploration. A breath of fresh air after decades of no innovation from NASA. I'm a vet. It's not Jeff Bezos', or any other person in the same category, responsibility to address these problems. Call your reps and ask them why they ignore them.

He'll finally reach the final frontier. This one's for you, Captain Kirk!

So sorry to hear this. Rich was one of the good guys.
