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 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.

You tawkin' about callin' the cleaners or seein' the junkman?

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

Ah, you ain't looking too hard, maaaaaaaaaaan. Kevin Lutz has exactly what you're looking for: Resin Johan 1971 Mercury Comet hood, no cut out, from Missing Link

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.

Was that Shock Theater on KTLA?

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.

Aw, go on ya big galoot!

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.

That is a bit of hyperbolic humor among armor modelers commenting on the mind-numbingly absurd number of sub-sub-sub variants of AFVs, especially German Tiger I tanks, released by kit makers; although, those same manufacturers are doing their best to see this joke becomes reality.

The color is Post Office Light Blue FS15095. No model paint equivalent is available. Start googling for the paint by name and/or FS Number. You might be able to find it in a spray can.

If this is the case, that puts a crimp on things. Your shopping choices are severely restricted to what's on hand. Live by the coupon, die by the coupon.

Unless you're content with seeing the same four or five models on the shelves, there are plenty of online stores which carry a much larger variety of kits and supplies than you could ever find in a HL.

That's a lot different than a sweepstakes drawing. This is for a mailing list, as stated at the top. You can sign up online.

That contest ended a long time ago. If you look at the form, there should be some fine print indicating entry deadline.

If I built kits for the nostalgia, they'd be loaded with firecrackers. I'd probably get hauled off by the cops if I did that now. Some silly thing about them being illegal here. Killjoys.

Slaves to technology.
