Best built-right-from-the-box kits?
SfanGoch replied to Jantrix's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Bottom line, modelers of any persuasion are essentially sons of niches. -
These are the instructions for AMT 32876 '66 Buick Riviera Lowrider Pro Shop. They're good for any AMT/ERTL version.

What non-auto model did you get today?
SfanGoch replied to chunkypeanutbutter's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Picked this up so I can make my Italeri S-100 Schnellboot an RC runner and terrorize the model yacht racers and geese in Prospect Park Lake. -

That's a nice kit, Mike. Thunder Models produces some really nice stuff. BTW, kit #35004 has two Indians in the box. -

Casey Affleck....... Isn't that like casting John Mitchum because his brother's salary would've wiped out your production budget? -

Is she related to Norm Crosby or Slip Mahoney? -
Momentarily satisfying my jonesing for Mopar Two AMT '66 Rivieras for the swell guts. Need them for a '67 and '69 and, more chrome than you can shake a feral cat at

My Dad, Chocolate Ice Cream, and New Kits
SfanGoch replied to Snake45's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
My high school math teacher, the legendary Mr. Kravitz, had the perfect one-size-fits-all response to any and all inane comments or questions, suitable for all occasions and said it with a Bernie Sanders-esque accent: "What, are you from the Bronx? Shut your dirty mouth!" I'd post some gems from my machine shop teacher, Louie "Three Fingers" Russo; but, every other word would be BLAH_BLAH_BLAH'ed out. -

Ha! That was Roscoe Lee Browne in "The Cowboys". I watched it a couple weeks ago on either TCM, Grit or Movies! -

Biggest pet peeves on builds.
SfanGoch replied to LL3 Model Worx's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That's for you. It's the feline equivalent of handing a bum a half-eaten sandwich. Your cats don't want see you hungry. Besides, growling stomachs annoy them when they're eating. -

I know. Chocolate, garlic and a whole laundry list of items are toxic to cats, including cannabis. Tell him. He's been eating them, excepting the weed , for all of his 11 years and passes his annual physicals with flying colors. The furry faced S.O.B. also likes caviar mixed with his pheasant w/sweet potatoes. I should eat so good. -
Hope your malpractice insurance is up to date. You'll be performing a lot of major surgery to turn that into a '75 Hurst/Olds.

Colors close to Postal Blue and Coca Cola Red
SfanGoch replied to fomocomav's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Okay, here's the skinny on this color. I first checked with Rustoleum. Its Post Office Blue Paint, A212836830, was discontinued in 2012. Unobtainium; although listed by Wally World, Amazon, etc., nobody still has it in stock. In a 1956 copy of "Procurement of Government Vehicles", the prescribed color was Sherwin-Williams Post Office Department Blue FIL-825. I called S-W Automotive Paints and was informed that the modern equivalent is S-W Dimensions U.S. Postal Service Blue 1657042. The rep said that you can go to a S-W auto paint dealer and it can be mixed. Right...like you have nothing better to do. An easier workaround is to get Pratt and Lambert 1137 Postal Blue Hedrix Fast Dry Acrylic Enamel Spray Paint, available in 4.5 and 11 oz. cans. Other than those two options, you're officially Sierra Oscar Lima, over and out. -

Kit Manufacturers Quality Control Or Lack Of It
SfanGoch replied to VW93's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Nah. Dragon, for example, will milk a particular base vehicle for every possible separately released variant which could be squeezed out of it. At 60+ bucks per kit, that translates into serious mazuma. -
The 1964 F-85 and 1966 Olds 442 (new tool 1999 release) convertibles are two separate and distinct kits. Doubtful that Round 2 would mislabel the 442 as an F-85.
