    Very nice!
  2. Still exhibiting some evidence that I occasionally build models. This is an AMT/Hobby Heaven issue 1970 Ford sedan with period-correct Arizona Highway Patrol markings. Built box stock otherwise. Intended to compete in an IPMS Out of the Box category, I was stuck with the undersized and misshapen beacons and siren loudspeaker. Otherwise, it represents AHP cars of that era well. Oh, yeah. The fender-mounted antenna was not in the kit box, but IPMS allows antennas from other sources. I pirated the base from the parts box and added a guitar string mast. Yes, AHP really did run with amber beacons on the passenger side of their Visi-Bars. Who knows why. I have a friend who retired from AHP ... well, actually it was DPS when he retired. He remembers the patrol cars from this era (early 70's) and said this quick little project nailed the look. His approval meant a lot. I wasn't 'there.' He was. Thanks for looking. (And, yes, I need newer and better pictures. That's on my list.)
  3. Close. They are 1/24. They are described as "Full Kit." I would assume that's the manufacturer's way of saying 'full detail kit.' They are due for release this year. They are by ICM ~ the Ukraine manufacturer who did the 1/24 Admiral Cabriolet.
  4. Anybody notice announcement of these upcoming kits? Coming soon from ICM. Get your 'brass monkey' ready for a couple more fixes, Harry!
  5. Nice.
  6. Decent!
  7. Thank you, Ken.
  8. Nice job. Bold but handsome color combination.
  9. Cool stuff, guys.
  10. Nice.
  11. Nice.
  12. Beautiful. Hate to say it, but Harry's right. The ribbed inserts of the running boards should be satin black.
  13. Superb!
  14. Neat!
  15. Excellent builds.
  16. Good job, but it looks more like 5 years of roads rather than 50, though.
  17. Kewl!
  18. Cool.

  20. Love those Big Dueces.
  21. Okay! Now that's looking very good. Going to be on my list for certain. Thanks, Tim.
  22. Sweet!
