1/25 Scale Jerry Cans.
stavanzer replied to stavanzer's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks for all the suggestions, Guys! I'm really leaning towards the WWII Style G.I. Cans. -
There are a pair of Dick Cepek branded Pull Tires in the AMT Orange Blossom Special Pull Truck. I know somebody used to sell Resin copies, but I;m not sure who has them any more. There might be somebody 3D printing Pull Tires too.

Most older MPC kits come with some badly shaped and very simple 'Jerry Cans' but they look wrong. The AMT and Monogram Ones are almost as bad. The 1/35 Scale Armour Guys have been getting sets of accurate Jerry Cans for the last 10-15 Years. Are there any Accurate 1/25 Scale Jerry Cans out there for us Car People? I'd really like a dozen or so, for various projects.

I have a Wahl Trimmer. I used it quite a bit, until the wife wanted the beard gone. It was a great machine.

History of Revell's Squarebody Pickup kits
stavanzer replied to kalbert's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
They re-tooled some new Wheels to fit some Ex-Monogram Tires. -
Sure would be nice if they did. I wonder how the Round2/ MPC 2WD Sodbuster is selling?

Great Job, on your Ranchero Gasser. Not Only did you nail the look, you have a great start back in the hobby! Good Show.

Absolutely Awesome Build, Alberto! Your L.E. Models are some of the best I've ever seen. You take the time to sweat the small details, and it really shows. Good Show.

Good Luck!

What did you see on the road today?
stavanzer replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I saw a Tesla Cybertruck in Bakersfield! Out of 3878 Sold, one made it here. I've seen it twice now. Not Impressive in person. It looks oddly toylike and awkwardly proportioned. -
Pat Ganahl was a model builder too...
stavanzer replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Pat's Ike Iacono GMC Dragster is Featured in The Rodder's Journal issue # 44, on Page 10. A 1 to 1 scale model. Great Pics too. -
Atlantis Models has bought another lot of tooling/molds.....
stavanzer replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
It would be great to see some TD kits back. I'm not sure which ones Atlantis has. I'm betting that the Re-Tooled Rommel's Rod and Tijuana Taxi are still in China, but others may be here in the States. AS for the S'cool Bus, a nice kit. I'd like to have a couple more of them. Dave, your version is great! -

AMT 1929 Ford Woody/Pickup
stavanzer replied to Flatout's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Perfection! Could have come right off the pages of "The Rodder's Journal" -
Thank You! I have a set of the FMR-117 Lights on order, just for this project.

AMT 1960 3-in-1 Ford F-100 Pickup Truck
stavanzer replied to rekcirb13's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I see that this kit keeps getting pushed back farther and farther for availability for the next Run. One Noted Online Retailer has pushed the kit from "MId-April" to just "May" and three Days ago to simply "June"...... If you waited to get one, the re-order time keeps shifting. They must be completely sold out now. The '63's are getting thin on the ground, too. These seem to be enormously popular kits. -
If you look at the White Parts trees, both the Carburetted and F.I. Manifolds are in the kit. The Tiny Air Cleaner for the Carb is still on the Chrome tree, too. Watch the Front Axle in this kit. It has always been weak, and prone to breaking. I'm not real fond of the Deeply Tinted Glass in this kit. It is a Call-Back to the awful 1980's MPC kits. Not Sure who at Revell though this was a Good Idea, but they could have at least done both a clear and tinted glass tree. Frankly, the whole kit smacks of Penny-Pinching and doing things on the Cheap. The Wheels had to be re-tooled to fit the Ex-Monogram Goodyear Sports Car Special Tires, since the old wheels would not have fit. The Decal Sheet is very nice, but Two (2) set of Lic Plates is not a lot, despite what the reviewer says. But, it is a decent kit, and makes a nice Street Machine Build, if nothing else.

Anu body have a photo of that build? -
Looks like there will be no Chrome. Not Deal Breaker for me, but could be an obstacle for some. I think that the folks who know about and purchase ICM kits will not be Fazed. They can do Chrome themselves, so it won't bother them.
