For all your Luft 46 Needs. http://www.luft46.com/

And a List of the Lindberg Pirate Ships, and their Real Names. Lindberg Marketing Real Ship Sir Harry Morgan Pirate Ship Le Saint Louis Captain Kidd Pirate Galleon Wappen von Hamburg Jolly Roger Pirate Ship La Flore Blackbeard Pirate Ship Royal Sovereign Again, you get what you pay for. La Flore and Wappen von Hamburg have vacuformed sails; the others have solid plastic sails molded to the yards. They have fair detail and are nicely shaped. All have open gunports, but the method of molding the guns varies from full carriages and cannons to a row of dummy barrels molded onto a strip that is cemented to the interior. Anyway, I believe them to be adequate for the price and they do build into reasonable ship models with effort. You should check them out. Some of these are old Pyro/Lifelike tools.

Somebody else's Build Log. https://www.shipsofscale.com/WVH/WVH01.html And here is the real ship. Wappen Von Hamburg. https://www.modelships.de/Wappen_von_Hamburg_I_1/Wappen_von_Hamburg_I_1eng.htm Hope this helps.

I agree with you, Snake. The decals do nothing for me, either. But a fresh new Switchers kit for $20.00? That appeals to me.

This is Number 4. Lukas V. 7lbs, 15 oz. Mother and baby doing well. Score Board 1 Grand Daughter, Three Grand sons. I'm stoked.

One Star Trek Runabout, One Each of the Van, Deuce, and Pick up kits. Going to be a great New Year.

Hmmm, Ram Tough Monster and an LRE. Maybe I can kitbash Grampa's Truck. Anyhow, I wait and see what the new kit looks like, before I spend too much money.

Aaaand Its here!!! Thanks Again, Chris. Some of the Best reviews on the tube.

Wow! Great creative work.

And one of the nice things about the most recent Round2 re-issue, is that it has the Promo-Style Engine Block Off plate that allows a curbside build. Means you can save the (wrong-for-this-car) 429 for another build.

About this. One of my first thoughts is that Mr. Pivar, the author of the Letter, is going to have to keep a low profile in the Hobby for a while. I would not want to be known as "That Guy" even if a few of my buddies agreed with me, in private. Not that he is going to advertise who he is, but in a world of Facebook and Social Media he could become far more well known than he expected in just a few days, if somebody wanted to ID him. But in the end I blame SA, and the editor who made the final call. SA prints at most 15-20 letters a year (at 3-4 an issues). What made 'this' letter stand out to be the pick of those who were unhappy about the Modelhaus closing. I am reasonably certain that another letter sharing the same viewpoint in much less brutal language could have been picked. Lastly I doubt that Jim Haught would have run this. The new editor's inexperience shows through badly this time. I hope he does better in the future. I'm sure more than a few canceled subscriptions, have been pointed in describing WHY they are canceling. That will get attention fast.

Thanks. I've never heard of Hobby Design. I'll go look for them.

As the title says, does anybody make the K&N looking Air Filters? I need a pair of smaller ones for my Peking to Paris CBP Group Build.

Dave D, those rims look perfect in the Rat Roaster tires. Is anybody casting them in resin yet?

Thank You! That answers my question.

I have a question. I have Both the Tom Daniels Vandal, and the older version of the AMT Deora with the Vanlike topper. Which would be legal for this build?

Lou, after finding a photo of the spare tire mount on the Nova, I think that mounting it that way might be OK for this race. It really doesn't affect the profile look of the car, and if you stayed with smaller 'street' sized tires, I could even see two tires working. As long as it was a clean, neat job, I'd be okay with it. Just me though.

That Dune Buggy is a Revell Kit. I have 2 of them. It is a simple but sharp Snap Kit, with some really nice Offroad Wheels and Tires. I too would like to see Revell bring that kit back out. I think that the Buggy plus a trailer would make a nice stand alone kit now, to compliment the Moebius Pick up kits. I have this boxing of the Buggy and a Blazer. Truly a unique kit. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/1041862-revell-6508-4x4-chevy-blazer

This thread is really relevant now that this has been announced for release sometime in 2019. I'll be referring back to your photos, once I build mine.

I'll be getting the Super Trailer. I may even build it. It will be worth it to me, just for the accessories alone.

The Clear Hood on the Red Car is going to be the hardest part. Somebody back in the 1990's did a resin conversion kit of the Red Car. Had a clear resin hood. For the life of me, I cannot remember who it was. Wish I had gotten one. I'll never see it again.

Well, it is November of 2018. I see no Revell Germany Landrover kits. Maybe Next year, 'eh?

That's what that Chrome tree is From!!! I have one of those chrome trees in my stash. It came in a parts lot I got from eBay years ago. I knew it was Dodge, but never knew what kit it was. Good to know. Thanks for helping me identify it.

I'd like to see the Pintera kit come back. Warts and all, that is a blast of 70's nostalgia right there.
