I don't get the last one. http://www.buzzfeed.com/jamiejones/19-drivers-who-pimped-their-car-way-way-too-hard#.xn8bj7lROb

Aaah, as a service brat I was awakened many a night to the sounds of radial recips being run up. .

OK, who's going to carve up one of those hard tops for us ? For a plug in a resin mold.

Looking at post # 1 and # 2 I don't see it. and post # 2 , the older instruction sheet actually has a multi lingual presentation of sorts both on one page. I think they can fit just about what they want on a page and space has no bounds.

"Off date" not every month. I'm old , get confused easily.

Yes, same group.

Thanks for the heads up, ya gotta love all of these "off date" issues. Guess I could subscribe.

So where did you hear that Harry ?

Yep.

Good, nice shinny paint, but still, diecast, big chunky hinges etc. I've built the Tee Bucket and the Duece Highboy. Both as nice as any plastic kit, with a few building options,

Yea nothing like putting stuff on a different page. Just a big chart, I'll read that.

How about some dialog ? This is from the original Monogram Sizzler ( not the new release Slingster http://manuals.hobbico.com/rmx/85-4997.pdf ). But back then, Reading was fundamental.

Original instructions from the same kit.

. . . when the instructions were educational. Not today. Just what are all those parts ? Just pictures and numbers.

Forgot to mention, metal bodies I.E. diecast.

Like Rob said, not bad for a shelf model, easy build, nice results. Testors had a bunch of different kits along these lines.

" Whatever turns your crank. "

Yes it's big, 1/16th scale, but a great kit. http://www.model-making.eu/products/Volkswagen-VW-K-fer-1951-1952.html

and just so you don't think my friend Tommy's car is a week end cruiser. 540 Big Block Chevy, powerglide, 4:30 gears and a 9:74 @ 130 MPH in the quarter.

I still say, to the average builder, that has never seen a DB4 in person, and even if he has probably doesn't remember much about it aside from the WOW ! factor, the Aurora / Monogram kits will do just fine. An easy, fun build yielding a passable DB4 kit for your display .Beyond that most of your friends wont know any of what has been discussed here. If you don't tell them , they wont know. You have fun building the model and your friends are awed at your model building prowess.

Good idea.
