Cool concept, good execution, and I agree, you keep getting better.

I think it looks great

Sweet 'bird

Love the 46-47 Fords. This build looks great too! Wish Revell had not screwed up the windshield openings on all their 48 kits tho.

Cool build. Powered by Ford with a rear distributor? Not unless it is a Y-Block

45 years ago or so my dad built a replica of a truck my grandfather drove for Christmas. My grandfather displayed it for years but after a remodel of his house it just disappeared. Well, my grandparents have been gone for 15 years or so and my mom and dad just left the house as it was in Pennsylvania. Well, my dad decided it was time to sell the house so I went back there (I live in Ohio) and see what I wanted as keepsakes. Low and behold I found the truck in the back of a closet in a box. Many pieces fell off but seem to all be present in a little tin in the box. I will be returning to hopefully locate the trailer which was hand painted by my dad. Plans are to just clean it, attach the missing pieces, find or reproduce the trailer and display it with other items from my grandfathers life that I saved.

Some crazy bidding on MPC One Arm Bandit!
Sledsel replied to peteski's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
insanity is my description Winning bid:US $943.99 -
On all mine I prefer to lay a coat down and let it dry for a few days, then some 2000 grit and 2 more coats. If it is a solid color and I do not like the finish I take 3000 grit and polish. Metallic paint seam to lay better for me but I will clear and wet sand and polish when needed. This is a duplicolor paint job with one coat of Testors Wet look clear, no buffing
-
I did this with the hard tires from the '37 Chevy Modified and it works great. Just be sure to clamp them until dry.

Looks really good. It looks like an old car, not a restored show queen. I especially like the way the interior came out looking a bit worn. Was that your objective? I know some of us would kill to do an interior like that. Again slow down, you are making some of us look bad
-
It definitely has that look to it. Dark and mean. You need to slow down, you build faster than I can open a new kit.

MPC 69 Charger...... What am I missing here?
Sledsel replied to Sledsel's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Relisted for sure. I think the first bidder backed out. End price was less than what I showed. I did check, this guy sells Vintage boxes and parts but has a feedback of 100% -
Never had one in the past, never really built trucks, but these reissues have lit a big rig spark in me.

Bet the guy on Ebay with another at $50 is praying for the losing bidders.... LOL -
Any input on this MPC Mustang?
Sledsel replied to Sledsel's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I'd love a kit of that one... -
Flash ans seams do not bother me much. Easy work for the most part. I do it on parts that are in halves also like rear ends, seats and engines. I'd rather trim flash and clean seams of these older issue kits than not have the kit at all. I get tired of the belly acher's complaining about "another reissue" Personally, I am glad because I may have missed out of them before or I have been inspired by something and want to do different build of a kit. Case-in-point, AMT 66 Mustang.... I have a bunch of different builds of them.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Classic
