  1. Hood doesn't fit. Is that a kit issue or other problem?
  2. Interesting stuff. But, there are at least three separate threads on this same subject. That'll keep Casey busy for awhile today!
  3. Oooops. My bad. Now that really irks me!
  4. ROG blew the whistle on the 'big question': What version/year of Crown Wick Police Interceptor is Revell going to kit? Wwwwwhatever that is.
  5. Nice. Good to see you git 'er done. {I need the inspiration.}
  6. Terrific!! But I can't see the iconic front end. Or the engine. Hint, hint.
  7. This year is finally over!
  8. Love the Flameout! Would love even more to have one!!!
  9. That engine model is incredibly amazing! However, guys, take note: Those of you commenting to Vern need to be aware he posted this 6 years ago and made 5 posts besides the two in this thread. I don't think Vern's checking in very often to see comments!
  10. Sweet!!
  11. That's expecting TOO MUCH these days. Didn't you get the PC Memo, Bill?
  12. The Michaels nearest me down-sized the model section by about 50% a couple of months before Christmas. I've gone in there several times the past year with a 50% off coupon and some mad money burning a hole in my pocket . . . but couldn't find (1) a kit I didn't already have or (2) a kit of which I wanted another. I recently remembered that they had a good stock of Estes Rockets and supplies, so I scooped up another 50% off coupon and went in to buy some motor packs for my grandson's rockets. Gone. The entire stock of rockets, kits, motors, and igniters, etc. Asked four clerks in the store (all of whom had worked there for a year or more) and NONE of them knew what I was talking about or even recognized the product line or brand name!!!! I couldn't believe it. They had a large, well-stocked display one day and a month later it was entirely gone and NONE OF THE CLERKS remembered it! There wasn't a store manager available, so I just walked away . . . shaking my head. Amazing. As a sidebar; a month before Christmas they suddenly had a display of 4-5 rocketing sets. No individual supplies or rockets, just starter sets. I wanted to ask the same clerks again . . . but oh, well. Not worth it. I grab some general supplies and useable crafting goodies at Michaels, but otherwise it just doesn't seem to be worth the effort any more.
  13. You might check your local VW dealer. Mine had three or four 1/24 die cast Jettas and Sportwagons awhile back. Pricey, but very, very nice. I don't have any idea who produced them for VW, but they were in the parts department's Beetle Boutique.
