You are all missing the boat. It will be a collector's item one day and you will be kicking yourself for not getting a couple when they were first released.

I am locking this thread before things escalate any further.

Moved thread to Q&A section.

They ship a lot of things in their original boxes. Somewhere during the order process there should have been a tiny box that needed to be checked, saying this was a gift.

Reminder: Kit News & Reviews topics need to remain on topic. These areas were created to discuss, surprisingly enough, kit news and reviews. Please try to remain on topic (specific kit or directly related items) and not digress into general discussions. I also merged this with the previously started (by the same poster) thread on the same subject.

Visiting friends in Billings. Went in thru the pass, came out thru Clark, Wyoming and went back to Billings. Wife and I are looking for land to build a house with a view of the mountains. Hard to find a spot isolated enough with electric nearby.

I know many of you live in areas that are similar to this, but I am from a very congested suburb of Washington, DC and don't get to see this very often. 11,000 feet, clean air, 65°F and very few people. Beartooth Pass in Montana.

Wonder why I thought of Cale when I saw this. Looks safe enough. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/this-is-hondas-new-150-mph-190-hp-lawn-mower?src=socialflowFBCAD&mag=cdb&dom=fb

I don't think so. I think it is someone that wasn't sure how a forum like this worked.

Nope. Just finished building my garage and start my vacation (2 weeks driving west) on Monday. Wife would kill me if I bought it now.

I think VW has a recent version of this now. I seem to remember seeing an ad or a commercial on TV.

There aren't to many Pontiacs that grab my attention, but this one is for sale in my town and I really like it. Can't really put my finger on what it is, but it just grabs my attention (even with the 4-cyclinder engine). Can see more here https://www.oldtownautomobile.com/1961-pontiac-tempest/

I have one of these and will be watching your build very closely.

There were a couple of nice cars in the background.

After you hit quote, just click in the box with the photos and you can delete them.

I hopes of stopping the endless stream, of the same people, asking about where the next issue is, I am going to remind everyone that this is not the place to ask. If you want answers, please email Gregg directly atgregg@modelcarsmag.com

Thanks for posting that Bill. I am a sucker for vintage plane recovery and restoration videos.

Not sure if you have seen it or not, but there is a whole thread on lights and magnifiers.

Have you tried rotating the photos so they are "landscape" instead of "portrait"

Excellent! All the weathering and little details really add to it. I like the cut-off U-bolts and the fluid in the housing.

I do appreciate that some of you tried to keep this thread on topic, but it has digressed to far. If you guys want to continue the discussion of why one builder is better than another, please start another topic.

Around here it is one USPS worker in a big van that delivers to a LARGE area on Sundays and some Holidays. I have also received items late at night on Saturday that were supposed to be delivered on Sunday.

You can check any number of online retailers (Spotlight Hobbies, Model Roundup or eBay) for kits if your LHS does not have or cannot get them. The only thing you may have trouble finding is the Hellcat engine, not sure if anyone is casting or 3D printing it.

Make sure you didn't hit the little arrow on the right. That is used to collapse/expand the forums.

The Aston Martin dealership near me is hosting a free watch party. They are going to have a large outdoor screen, food and drinks. May try to make it over there.
