Hi, OMG over 4 big ones??? I don't really understand why but it's the eye of the beholder thing.

Hi, Wow you are in it to win it. Sounds like very cool builds planned.

Hi, I love these videos. Wished Revell did em. PS, The Cobra Racing Team kit is absolutely a bad a$$ kit. W0W, go Round2!

Hi, Well it would make me helping Eds wife sell his kits. She's not set up for eBay. So I say "yeseth".

Hi, SMP24 Ferrari 512 Berlinetta Speciale because it's an excellent subject matter and no one else makes it. The kit itself looks amazing! http://www.autoinscale.com/?section=article&id=1362

Hi, Fantastic advice!!! Hopefully some serious collectors read this and are revising there auto storage.

Hi, Absolutely heartbreaking!!!

Hi, Sorry this is turning out to be the; "on the work bench that never dies" thread. At any rate I have what are 2 light coats of red. The spoon is what I will get it to being a coat of Vallejo clear orange. My current formula; 10:3 Future to Vallejo flat red 18PSI I'm leaving this thing sit for a week before doing anything else. But I was shocked at how pigment rich Vallejo is as all you see are 36 drops of paint to 120 drops of Future. It is dry sandable as well, the Future adds a tough quality to the paint. I'll probably do some light polishing/sanding before a coat of Vallejo clear orange.

Hi, It appears Ed had a rather intense/serious build planned for his Donahue Javelin. PM if interested.

Hi, Well the blog may be dated from then but they did stop selling Ferraris in 1/24 for a good while. I do frequent the site this was new to me. They are fairly accurate in terms of stock so if you want it, buy it now as it won;t be on sale for long. I personally like it myself but from what I hear about the MFH kits, they are a lot of work, for the advanced modeler of which I am not to an order of magnitude. In fact I seem to be regressing, very disappointing.

Hi and thank you sir. The reasons I bought it were; - Cheap; ~$2 - Good looking engine - V8

Hi, Nice info, thank you! Let me correct myself and say I am not used to any dry sump applications of any kind, only tooled around a few H2O VW. I know they run dry sump in racing applications but I'm sure some consumer vehicles have em too. Seems like more to go wrong but as a modeler, more cool stuff to detail. I can see how its vital in racing were hard cornering could cause a dry scenario. Plus that hard driving needs more in depth oil filtration and the ability for a larger reservoir so more oil then what would fit in a crank case/oil pan.

Hi, Ah, yes I'm not used to the dry sump V8, good info, thank you as usual.

Hi, Got the tires/wheels done. Made my own wipers as I destroyed the kit ones.

Hi, I bought this engine and curious of it looks odd to you? Seems like I'm missing the block? See the finned oil pan and how it lines up to the bell housing. Seems weird. I'm unfamiliar with this engine.

Hi and thank you. I ordered the smaller 106 to see if I like it. Meanwhile I'm practicing use Liquitex Slow-Dri with Tamiya acrylics. Just seeing how they react etc...

Hi, Why thank you sir. They are MicroMark rivet decals for use in model railroading; https://www.micromark.com/O-scale-decals-with-raised-3D-rivets-and-other-surface-details I tried simple silver rivet decals (which I preferred) by HGW Models; http://hgwmodels.cz/en/28-132-scale But the hot decal solution I used started re activating the paint. After leaving a sour taste in my mouth, I went with the under paint decal option.

Hi, Is it T-106 by chance?

Hi, Thank you sir. Is the leveling thinner by Mr. Color labeled T-106 by chance?

Hi, Good question, I'm unsure other then that's what I have. I'm not yet ready to decant however do notice how nicely Tamiya spray cans work. In fact I use there nozzles on other cans. I've read several accounts of how very nice Tamiya acrylics air brush so I'm really feeling inept about my experiences. And thank you for the kind words. I do feel that I have to learn more from this build before going on to Eds Chappy. BTW, is there such a thing as being too hot to air brush or spray? It's really hot in SoCal now, brutal in fact.

Hi, Wow this is wonderful! I love it.

Hi, BTW I really really like your trunk treatment and how you did the exhaust. Very very nice design.

Hi, I'm using a .4mm and have a .6mm that I haven't used. I'll practice with the .6mm.

Hi, Not Cobra but a Beetle based something none the less; http://www.modbase.info/#/beetle-chevy/4591928373

Hi, Since I was starting over, I added rivets around the fenders. The kit had small molded in rivets that faded away due to the constant sanding/stripping.
