Z-7 Debonder has been available for years and you guys don't know about it?!? It's made as a gel for precise application and doesn't run.

.18mm.

1. It's the former, not the latter. 2. The Lindberg chassis are comprised of separate suspension and exhaust components and are highly detailed. Johan chassis have molded in components and very soft detail in comparison. The Lindberg/AMT Mopar chassis are used as replacements for the Johan parts because of the superior detail. 3. Wrong. Lindberg/AMT interior tubs, unlike Johan's, are detailed multi-piece assemblies, even possessing separate door panels, seats and even arm rests. 4. Out of my area. Perhaps someone else better versed in NASCAR will provide that information. 5. See number 2. 6. None that I can think of; although, others might.

Atlantis Models has bought another lot of tooling/molds.....
SfanGoch replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Expectations override reality. This is like people planning to spend lottery winnings before even buying any tickets. Stop foaming at the mouth and wait. -

Atlantis also has many of the Revell Part Packs molds, as indicated in FB. -
It's on before "12 )'Clock High" and after "Combat!". Check your cable provider to see if it's available.

"Rat Patrol" can be seen Saturday nights 10-11 P.M. on Heroes & Icons Channel. The jeeps used in the show were Willys MBs, not BRC 40s. BRC 40s were only used by Britain and USSR under Lend-Lease.

Just snagged the Asuka kit at BNA Model World for under $35. It'll look great next to the 1/24 Hasegawa Willys.

The "DIAL 440-1234" decal is used to depict cars prior to April 1968. After that "Emergency Dial 911" was in effect. You'll also need to get the proper beacon/siren. The junk in the kit is nothing like what was used by NYPD back in the '60s-1972. Custom Squads sells the correct Federal Beacon Ray Model 175H rotating beacon with the correct clear dome and Federal Pulsator roof-mounted siren. You can find them on Page 3 of the catalog, listed as "CS-SR/BR3—$6.50 (NYC Vintage)Siren/Rotator Pkg."

I've been using Flitz since 1986.

No pictures because Canon software stopped working after last Windows 10 update and I can't d/l images from the camera/card. I obtained the following kits in a bundled purchase: AMT 6566 1966 Buick Skylark GS. Complete and unbuilt AMT 6525 1965 Buick Wildcat Annual AMT 6623 1963 Pontiac Bonneville HT Annual Johan 2560 1960 Olds Scenicoupe Johan C-1266 1966 Plymouth Fury HT Johan C-1967 1967 Plymouth Fury HT After I received them on Wednesday, I thought it over and decided that I really don't need them. Buyer's remorse, I guess. So, I'm considering my options to dispose of them.

U.S. source for Dspiae 2.0 sprue cutters
SfanGoch replied to aurfalien's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I use grinding bits to restore the tips and flatten the bottoms and diamond sharpening stones to restore the cutting surfaces. -

SfanGoch replied to aurfalien's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
USA Gundam Store is a stateside retailer. However, they're out of st stock at the moment. Pretty expensive for something that broke, though. I have a Xuron sprue cutter which I bought in 1996 for nine bucks. Over the years, it's taken a lickin' but it keeps on tickin'. -
Read the quote from Dave Van and my reply to understand the context. ?

How much more can you honestly expect from a television test pattern?

Man, did everyone in your house go to sleep early? I was nine years old and watching that on the bar television in the front of the reception hall we were at that Sunday.

Automotive (and other) toys from our childhood
SfanGoch replied to Harry P.'s topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Erector Set was originally patented by Alfred Carlton Gilbert and first sold by his company, Mysto Manufacturing Company, in 1913. In 1916, the company was reorganized as the A.C. Gilbert Company in 1916. The brand continued its independent existence under various corporate ownerships until 2000, when Meccano bought the Erector brand and consolidated its worldwide marketing with its own brand. -
Make fiberglass molds of the wheel openings and use them on the modified stocker bodies. Bill Engwer posted a few straightforward, easy to follow how-tos on doing it.
