This is a very old Palmer model kit from the 60s that I got in a collection off of eBay. I will be turning this into a 60s Street Hot Rod. I’ll be using parts from the Lindberg Show Rods kit. I removed the Engine and the Spare tire wells. I’m not big fan on putty but I thought I would try out this Tamiya putty it’s not bad easy to work with. That will be all for tonight.

This is what I’ll be starting on soon. Bought this at a Model Show in St. Louis about 20 years ago also bought the tires and wheels there too but separately

Sorry for your loss. I also had Covid Pneumonia in both lungs thank God my wife is a Respiratory therapist she’s been one for 32 years she took care of me last November when I had it. Your Mustang looks great hope some day you will pick it back up. Your in my prayers.

I would like to withdraw from the 2022 BRBO please.

Thanks guys hope to get started on it soon. I don’t know if I’ll be putting a winch on it but it’s a thought

Nice one Brian

Very nice. I built a Ertl International 4070A Bekins back in 1992 for the truck I used HO decals and for the trailer I had a print shop make the trailer decals they came out very nice they were made from Vinyl.

Glad you like it. I will be glad to see my Brothers truck back on the shelf.

Nice start I’ve always liked this kit it always builds good for me without issues.

Here’s my entry for the BRBO 2022. I’ll be re- building a AMT White Western Star. I’ll be using the Cab and Hood from my brother Bill’s that he built back in 1973. It will be pretty much Box Stock with some Heavy Duty Spoke wheels, Headache Rack and maybe a winch. I painted the cab around 1999 and done little to it since. I hope to my brothers old truck some justice with these new parts as a donor.

Nice progress and paint job Dan. I’ll be following along

I’ll be watching this one

Nice

Very nice Benny I’ll be following along

Ok thanks sorry for the inconvenience

Rog. I’m sorry but I’ve changed my mind I think I’m going to build a 1/25 AMT White Western Star instead wonder if you can change that for me thanks and delete my previous build thread.

Nice. I did one about 32 years ago

Very nice Rog. I’ll be following along

I’ll be rebuilding my Brother Bill’s White Western Star from 1973 that he built. The only thing I have left is the original cab and hood everything else will be from the reissue kit.

I think that’s how we all did it back in the day “ Brush Painting”. I’m thinking about a DM800 for the BRBO last time I built one was back in 1987. I still have some parts from it but that’s all

Thanks Roger for hosting I’m sure you will do fine Jeff is a great guy and I’m sure he will help you when needed as for us also.

Jerry I was looking forward to the Chrome Spokes and the fifth wheel lol.

Welcome Judah. I live 75 miles just south of you but work in St. Louis doing intermodal work glad to have you a great bunch of fellows here.

Everyone has some nice stuff lined up now we need a host?

Very nice the outside pics are convincing. These Ertl Internationals always build up nice
