Will always remember him from my favorite Creepshow story.

Hugely inspiring man. 99 years old when he did his walk, and still trying to make a difference in the world. And he did.

The spelling is correct. I find it more interesting that they tried to convert a Bay window into a split window.

Both builds look great!

No kidding! I have a handful of these, with various ideas in mind. But now I'm hesitant. I wonder if this is why these kits are half the cost of every other Tamiya kit on Ebay.

I had the same problem! Used all Tamiya primers and paints, all purchased around the same time, all painted in the same conditions. I've used the same paints and primers (literally the same cans)on other projects with no issues at all.

Love it. Was going to comment specifically on a couple of features, but then the list of features I wanted to give props for got too big. Excellent work.

Well, I think I already know which build I'll be voting for at the end of the year! lolz Seriously though, this is awesome. Can't wait to see this one come together.

I don't know what it became, but I heard that this kit in this form was no longer around.

SC = Super Charged. As in; this is a Thunderbird Super Charged Coupe. I like this kit. Very nicely detailed. Been half-heartedly looking for one. I have the matching Cougar XR7 kit, so that will tide me over for a while.

I dig it. We do puzzles quite a bit to relax. Usually Star Wars or music related ones. But I'm pretty sure I can get one or two of these thrown into the mix.

Definitely more of a 90s vibe than a 60s vibe. And the 90s I remember! I really like the paint, have never seen that done on a kit before.

Glad to see this one back It's looking excellent!

It makes no sense at all. Somethings are super-fast, other things are taking forever. I sent two packages to the San Diego area back in mid-November. Mailed them the same day using the same method. One arrived in 11 days, the other arrived last week. I Google Mapped the addresses. They're about a 20 minute drive apart.

If the M1 is better than the Airfix version, then I'd be into that. I'm assuming it's a former ESCI kit? I like that Scania S730 truck too.

Survived eight marriages to seven women, diabetes, heart attacks, quintuple bypass surgery, a stroke, cancer, angina. If anyone was in the high risk category for Covid, it was him. I always liked his interviews.

I think it looks great!

I'm not sure if they still do it this way, but back in the early 2000s, all of the factory Porsche racecars came painted white, inside and out. Porsche said it was because white has fewer pigments compared to dark or metallic colours, and when painting a car, white cars were on average about 8lb lighter than any other colour. Apparently. I wonder if the GT4 program is the same.

Excellent work on this one. Weathering is fantastic. Obviously not built to represent a truck that has lived in Canada its entire life!

I have no idea how some of you do things so quickly. lolz. I've barley opened the box to look at parts on my entry.

Agreed. Finding good interior shots has been challenging. I rarely use the kit suggestions for colour choices. I mainly find reference pics and go by those. I do like it in plain old Grabber Blue though.

I like the Ford kit, and have seen some nice builds of it. I think my single complaint about it, is that there don't seem to be many choices for 1/24 American-style trailers for it. I normally don't care about scale, but a 1/25 trailer on a 1/24 cab is a noticeable difference in scale.

You're not wrong. I think I've seen some variation of this theme a number of times here. Anyway... Really though, to make it more than just a wish list, this thread should be about kits that have never been released and would make financial sense for a kit company to release them. I mean, let's get real here. There are some awesome ideas here, but the reality is that many wouldn't sell in quantities big enough to justify the cost of tooling and production. Through that feasibility requirement into the mix, and the list just got a lot smaller.

I love it. And I caved. Mine has now shipped.

Super clean build!
