I would not be surprised if some of these poor engineering decisions are because of some sort of government safety mandate. Some other engineer decided it would be better for everyone if there were no self-serviceable parts on your new vehicle.

I wonder if that is some sort of protection for the fuel tank that was added because the rear bumper was removed.

He remained somewhat calm during the whole thing. While flying through the air he remembered to take his hands off the wheel. While waiting for the remains of his car to stop skidding the visor is up and he was looking around, almost casually. Not so many years ago, coming down on top of the wall like he did could have split the car in two. They will learn from this crash and see what worked and what did not. Future cars will be built even safer.

Welcome Erik.

This is actually new news. What is being pointed out is Squadron is now listing them for sale again. So maybe the new kits hit the shelves sooner rather than later.

I would like to own/run a hobby shop. The only way that could be remotely possible was if I owned the building it was in. You have to sell a lot of $20 kits and $2 bottles of paint to pay $3000 a month rent (plus utilities).

Very nicely done!

Thanks for the info JC! You sure make it look and sound easy.

In this case, it isn't the fault of USPS, it is the shipper that boxed them up. To be fair, they boxed these as they should have been boxed. They were also, more than likely, following the shipping guidelines that their company uses. Imagine receiving a fragile item that was broken because they were not packaged securely. Your argument would be, why did they ship these in such a small box with no padding. I get items shipped from Amazon that I am amazed are not broken when I receive them. Small box in a larger box with a single air bag to cushion it, everything just slides around in the box.

If I remember right, he got the first Roush 427 that was produced. This is one of the few builds that I have seen on the show that I liked.

I have plans to build a blacked out Ramcharger similar to yours. Nice group of models, thanks for sharing.

I will be following along. This one is on my long list of models to build.

I seriously looked into building a GT40 kit car some years ago. Would of cost me about $160k to do it like I wanted. Not a chance I could afford it. Not a chance I would do it unless it was exactly how I wanted it. Now, I don't think I could get in and out of one. If I remember correctly, electrical problems require a lot of test drives.

Back to Hobby Lobby and Molotow Pens please.

No. If they did you would have to buy them 100 at a time.

That is awesome. I just went and checked and Mr T is in the AMT A-Team van kit that I have. Looks like he is molded to sit in the front seats. When I finally get around to building my garage dio, he will be sitting behind the counter. "I pity the fool"

I can't remember how the kits I received in the 70's & 80's were packaged. I have received several recent issues that were opened and taped shut by customs with a nice little card inside. Your explanation seems very possible though.

They do, usually.

It's possible that this hypothetical padded envelope will be held (for ransom) at the post office of the return address and not released until the postage due is paid.

I have been sending and replying to messages most of the day with no issues.

Got my order from Speed City Resin yesterday. A couple of 392 Hemis and some miscellaneous suspension parts. All looks top notch.

Sure would be nice to find this rig in a barn somewhere. Nicely done!

Look for a mom & pop or other small general store and see if you can talk them into setting aside some space for models.
