  1. This Photo is a Must Have for detailing the engine on this kit when it comes out.
  2. Great Idea! Recycling for Modelers.
  3. Wow! What a neat build. I've never seen this kit. Yours looks great. Good Show.
  4. Thanks. What kinds of kits are you seeking? Alan
  5. Neat Little kit. Your weathered finish is great. Good Show.
  6. My 15 yr old Grandson, is getting big into Warhammer 40K. I've decided to play with him, but the stuff is a wee bit spendy. Looking for Older builds, Opened Kit, parts boxes, Whatever. Thanks, Alan
  7. A caster called Escort 5000 did some about 25 years ago. I have about 4 of them left. The Round2 /AMT '64 Ford Galaxie Mod Stock kit has one. Best I can do for you.
  8. Yeah, we have tried it too. We get it at Winco. The All Cheese is great on Friday.
  9. There are 2 of those can in the New Round2 1960 & 1963 Ford Pickups.
  10. Photobucket has eaten the pics, but here is a Thread from 2011. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-6412-malibu-grand-prix-race-team--1597241
  11. I'll be blunt in response to Tim's well spoken comments. Revell does not care.... Not at all. This is a "Contractual Obligation" model kit. No more, No less. Whether there is an actual contract or not is irrelevant. Marketing said to deliver a new model of a Mustang. Headquarters delivered the cheapest, lowest effort kit they could. Then when the Sales Dept comes back later to grouse about poor sales,HQ can tell them, "We gave you a kit. Not our fault you can't sell it. Looks like the market for American cars is dead. Can we go back to making the Tanks , Planes, and Exotic Cars that are the "Real Money Makers" and forget about the American Market?" That's my thoughts about Revell, and I'm sticking to it. Poor Ed Sexton. He's stuck working with a Euro-Centric Company that really doesn't want to know about or care about it's American origins anymore.
  12. Great Start! I like that shade of Blue.
  13. Jerry you could have just added this question to your Demon/Hobby Lobby thread.
  14. It is very interesting. And just as relevant if you want kit based parts rather than Resin or 3D Printed.
  15. I'll buy the kit to rob parts from. Then trade off the rest.
  16. You'll be here all week. Try the Veal.......
  17. See the Washington Monument. Topped with an Aluminium Tip. So Rare that it was considered a substitute for Silver. In four years, it was completed, with the 100-ounce (2.83 kg) aluminum apex/lightning-rod being put in place on December 6, 1884. The apex was the largest single piece of aluminum cast at the time, when aluminum commanded a price comparable to silver. Two years later, the Hall–Héroult process made aluminum easier to produce and the price of aluminum plummeted, though it should have provided a lustrous, non-rusting apex. And now we throw it away.
  18. You never know.... {and Don't call Me, Shirley!}
  19. I've put the Monogram '53 Corvette Stovebolt 6 in my '39. It's tight, but it fits.
  20. Here is the Revell Box Art. And the instructions. You get two engines, a bone stock 265 SB V-8 and a 409 V-8 with twin carbs or a blower. Oddly the drawing of the 409 show it a looking exactly like the engine in the Revell, '53-'54 Sedan Delivery kit. No mag wheels in the original kit, so it looks like Atlantis is adding some. And you get the VHTF "Cal Custom" Hood scoop that most folks seem to want these days. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/revell-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/chevrolet/1951-1960/revell-55-chevy-h-1/?view=roll#1
  21. You might be correct about that, but never discount the "A Real Carbon Fibre has never been tried crowd"......
