  1. Ok Revell, you're up. Why not do to the model A Ford what you did for the '32 Deuce? In 1/25th scale of course. 1) Coupe 2) 2 Door Sedan 3) Pick Up 4) Let's step out of the box here, a Four Door Sedan. 5) Roadster Now the kicker, early 1928-1929 or 1930-1931 ? Or both ?
  2. "The Bug", this is undisputedly the first dragster, known then as a "rail job" Dick Kraft raced it at Santa Ana in 1950 when the strip first opened. It got its name from the fact that it was a stripped down model A used for spraying Dick's family's orange groves. It was the first car to break 100 mph & eventually went 118 mph. The car now resides in the NHRA museum in Pomona. It is [for the most part] a replica, built by Dick Kraft & Ron Roseberry.
  3. Good job. Great idea. there's so much more out there that's not a pointy nose / winged tail.
  4. anything can happen in the model world.
  5. Some good stuff here http://www.ohio4h.org/sites/d6-ohio4h.web/files/Designing%20Your%20Own%20Model%20Rocket.pdf also http://nar.org/images/papertig.gif To fix the rocket tube from your kit it may be easier to start over and simply make your own rocket "body". This can be done by finding a rod or tube or something around the house similar in size to the damaged kit supplied part. Then simply rolling a piece of paper on the diagonal as shown in the last link, gluing as you go. then trimming the ends.
  6. I would tend to think it might be fewer people look at the Racing thread at the bottom of the list

  15. How do they compare to this one ?
  16. This is one of those immortal cars that just begs for a club build in all the different versions. Just hate to get stuck with the last version.
  17. Looks like you can get the "kit" for just about anything: http://www.greddy.com/products/aerodynamics/rocketbunny/
  18. 4 years in the Navy. Don't get me going on Top Gun. and that was one of the better ones.
