What are you building? That may help with answers. Have you considered making your own flares? Styrene strip and putty can make some awesome flares.

Nice looking tractor, clean build. I like it. Who made this kit?

I have always had a soft spot for the Gooney Bird, it took me from Bangkok, Thailand to Udorn RTAFB. Had a chance to work on its comm systems a few times. War Story (no blah blah blah blah this really happened). A Lt Col was the assigned pilot for the C-47, his flight was milk runs from base to base in Thailand. Nothing really exciting just a couple hundred miles from a war zone. He tired of the ribbing by the fighter pilots at the O-Club, so he showed them the C-47 can do an inside loop and survive. Needless to say the rest of his time in Thailand he was flying a desk. Difference between a fairy tale and a war story. Fairy tale begins "Once upon a time", war story begins "No blah blah blah blah this really happened."

That is some mighty fine work on that big boy. Looking forward to updates.

That is some jaw-dropping scratchbuilding. Really enjoy watching your progress.

Really nice little mini-stocker. Gives me some ideas what to do with my Daytona parts kit.

Very well done VW, really like that color. Nicely done interior. Just another one I let get away and wish I had back, was a blast to drive, even watching the highway speed by through the floorboard.

I am slowly getting used to the new format of this forum and I find it more user friendly. However I do find it quite tiresome to open a "WIP" forum post and find pictures of a completed model that should be in the former "Under Glass" section. The "WIP section is just that, a place to post progress and photos of a project that is a work-in-progress, not a finished build. To post a finished build, scroll on down the page to where it says "Model Cars, NASCAR, Model Trucks, etc and post your finished build there. Only takes a few seconds more, but it makes the forum more sensible.

I remember building this kit when it was new. Mine didn't look as good as yours though; mainly lots of glue and white styrene. Very nice restoration.

Really like the Vicky and you have done this one righteous. Very nice build.

Excellent build, beautiful detail work.

Agree with everyone else, this is one beautiful build. Looks like it should be parked at Big Ed's Burgers. A quick question, where exactly did you cut the '48 and the '41 to make the match?

Just read through this whole post. Thankfully I have never had the venetian blind ads or the ones overlapping the subject titles. The most problems I have are those between comments. A few of those are designed to subtly look like another comment. That being said, I have my adblocker turned off for this site and so far I have not had a single ad pop up while reading all six pages of this post. Now I will probably go to the next post and be attacked unmercifully with ads. Anyway, a big thank you to Dave for trying to help with this problem.

Hmmm, guess I need to pay more attention.

Here is one I started a couple years ago, but decided it would be a long term project because of my developing vision of a finished project - a cabover Ranchero with "mega-horsepower" in the bed. The custom front is from the 69 Corvair, the custom rear is from a '61 Ford Styline kit. Tires will be from one of the AMT curbside :weird" kits, the tread is imprinted with AMT.

Forgot I had entered this CBP. SCRambler finished.

Interesting, but downright scary looking to drive.

We are still in mandatory lockdown until "at least May 8". However, on last night's local news, they said Hobby Lobby is opening "in spite of the order". Hopefully more stores will follow. As an aside I have noticed several Michael's advertisements on the TV lately, whereas I have never seen them advertise before.

Really looking forward to this build. I love anything FORD related. Although I am a bit concerned about the "bullet hole" in the wall. Hope that wasn't done in frustration.?

In the past I have attempted to do the same thing on 1:1 wheels and had pretty much the same problem, even though I had access to a roller.

Going to be a killer build.

That is one sweet pick-up. A bit sparkly for my taste, but still a beautiful build.

Very nice build and attention to the minute details. I like it. Nothing like turning a $5-8K pile of junk into a $90-100K showpiece.

Haven't replied too many times to this group, but that is one fine looking rig. The close-up of the tractor looks almost like a sales brochure, great job.

That is one very nice looking COE. I have always had a soft spot for COE's and you have definitely tickled it, thanks.
