  1. 1 for the black edges around windshields i use a wide sharpie...if u mess up 90% alcohol will remove sharpie. i actually use 70% hand sanitizer cause its in gel form n easier to control. 2 for the tint at top of windshield if u can find a wide blue sharpie it works great.
  2. hello bill, how can i see your products u have for sale? thanks, jeff
  3. oh, i hope thats not true, just the rumors ive heard.
  4. as i understand it the kts on clearance now was because the mfg notified hl that these kits were gonna be discontinued. the shelf reset is something hl does periodically and then they will put on clearance items that they dont intend to have after the shelves are reset. it probably means that the shelf space dedicated to models/paint/supplies will get smaller.
  5. hit up 2 hl's yesterday. MGR IN ONE TOLD ME IN AUGUST THERE WILL BE A COMPANY WIDE RESET ON MODEL KIT AREA AND LOTS OF KITS WILL BE ON CLEARANCE.
  6. i agree i test drove a new camaro and it just felt weird

  10. im sure some of you remember the superstang kit driven by a fictitious name of jimmy carson...iirc there was another kit driven by "kit carson". anybody know what kit this one was?
  11. im too lazy to post pics but the lindberg motorized ford truck(never could get one of those motors to work) ive got one with motor pieces intact so someday ill give it another shot, the charger III(found a built one, stripped n ready for paintI)and inaccurate flying dutchman funny car-found one and built it -rare kit beda@#ed, the cosma ray (cant find one)along with the 1/16 CLEAR body petty charger(got one but ill never build it probably) are some i'd like to see reissued but will never happen...
  12. my idea is to include a "gotta have it" app in a model box that cant be downloaded until model is built...lol
  13. this was the first model i built way back in 71. if memory serves me correctly it had decals for a ficticious driver named jimmy carson...i seem to remember another kit "driven" by kit carson but cant remember what kit it was. anybody know?
  14. where can i get 1/25 "t fittings" with hollow ends? i found some that are a solid piece(metal) but didnt think i could glue the fuel line to them successfully. and/or what have yall used for t fittings for fuel/brake line connections?
  15. before i retired i would drive anything to work but its gotta b a v-8 if im gonna have a pleasure car...

  17. for myself it was discovering hobby heaven that opened the door on finding kits i built in the 70's and of course later ebay. finding kits that i wanted but never got has been big as well. some that ive (re)acquired are: superstang-first kit i built in circa 1971 gremlin funny dodge 4 x 4 long bed truck vandal troublemaker clearbodied mustang gasser-was the holy grail for me 1/16 clearbodied petty charher revell 57 chevy with the opening doors/trunk, etc flying dutchman funny blue bountyhunter funny little red wagon little red express 55 nomad quicksilver several wrecker kits ivo's showboat charger III petty superbird daytona charger shelby cobra coupe lindberg motorized 34 ford truck revell offroad van/minibike rehrer/morrison camaro pro stock 83 trans am meisterbrau puller orange blossom puller double whammy stude farrah's corvette johan amx billy carter's truck hurst hairy olds a few ive not gotten yet include: grumpy's vega and camaros funnyhugger camaro donohue's javelin mono high roller truck
  18. those are nice pics of real trucks...now show us the model...great build
  19. but duct tape muffles the sound...
  20. sure fire way to get youngsters interested in building models: 1 design a "must have" app for their phones 2 include app in model box but it ONLY works if model is built. if the right app is picked their parents would pay 100 bucks for a kit/app combo...of course the kits must have a prepainted body...lol
  21. they both look good to me...one of my favorite models...built one in 1972ish...someday plan to build another with the hauler as well...nice job.
  22. looking for 1/35 krupp minesweeper...have stuff to trade
  23. could you list the part numbers/sizes for the detail master fittings?
