Has that "Vintage Gasser" Vibe. You nailed the look.

Great Gasser Stance! Good On Ya, for sticking it out to the end.

Very NIce! The Tinted Glass is perfect on this build.

Wow! What a Knockout! I like the Colour!

Great Save. I do like the Decals. BTW, you named it after a Bread! ?

Indeed! That is why this model is so good.

Clean Build of a sinister looking Tank. Great Job.

Thankful, that I had all Three Kids, (38, 36, 25) and all 4 Grandkids (1 Girl, 3 boys) at my house for Thanksgiving Dinner. Thankful too, that we had plenty of Food, and a Warm House. And, I still have a Job. Sadly, my only Sister died of Liver Cancer on 4 Nov, and I did miss her. Been bad 7 weeks for Family. Lost My Uncle, 5 weeks before my Sister. Cancer got Him too. But, We go on.

Well, Dave, the Revell Snappers are NOT $12.99 at Hobby Lobby, so that price sounds great to me.

Ah, I understand now. It looks great.

Great Weathering! Looks like the ones you used to see around here, back in the 90's.

Neat Kit! I grew up with one. My Folks had the Classic White over Red 23 Window when I was young.

Man, that looks so good. You really nailed the look of the wreckers I grew up seeing.

Wish Ollies was in California.

It is still chrome in the latest issue. Every Part of the engine is on the Chrome Tree. Has T-Bird Valve Covers, too.

Is that the Eduard 190, Joe? It sure looks great!

Great Work. F-14s are notorious to build cleanly because of the way the kits are molded. You are doing a great job, so far!

Wow, Yekun! That is amazing Work!

Neat! I did not know that the Mustang Scoop was a separate piece. This will be a wonderful Project.

Cool, Keep on Building.

Sounds Good! I'll find something for Mine.

Get Well Soon. Take lots to read.

Cool Real Life Build! Have you ever seen any other Real Cars built like yours?

Another Perspective on Tooling/Kits. Academy Models out of Korea, got their start by 'Knocking off' copies of other , more well known, companies kits. In order to evade Copyright infringement charges, they would change 15% of the tool, (either layout or content) , in order not to be sued. Now, they no longer do that, but I have built 1/72 aircraft kits where an Academy Fuselage Half would mate with a Corresponding half from a Monogram or Hasegawa kit. Academy not longer does this, but they did start that way. My point, is that a Model Company based in a Non-Western Country, who did not mind the possible Blow-Back, could copy old Johan kits all day long, if they wanted to. By changing approx 20% or so of the contents, litigation about "Who Copied What" could take a long time, while a large number of Kits could be sold to modeler's who don't really care about legal niceties. Is this bad? Sure? But, an unscrupulous vendor could sell a lot of product, before the Cease & Desist order showed up. I believe with a Decent Lawyer, you could hold things off for a long time, provided it was only a partial copy and not an exact duplicate.
