Nice choice of color! I've built that too, and have two variations WIP. Did you have a problem with the rear engine mount interfering with the pulley part?

That's one of the few airplane kits I have! I have the Squadron catalog article, photo-etch and masking and correct propeller details too. Even have the half-track motorcycle to go with it. Have something else, and have built 3 Luft 46 planes. Yea, I'm crazy.

My mom rolled their Beetle after hitting black ice. Don't think she was injured much, I was born not too long afterward.

That's what I have thought when buckling up in my '69 Chevy pickup's lap only belt, there is a bolt hole for shoulder belts so I could upgrade. But then I still have the solid steering column to punch a hole in my chest. Not having ABS brakes, and drums to boot, makes it fun. I don't live in Phoenix, so not exposing myself to 90 MPH speeds.

I have #22, box art is a red car, vertical picture (unusual format for a model box), molded in white, grill looks good, no p-e. I also have the #1052 kit, with a photo of a yellow car on the box, still sealed so no idea of contents.

drama queen, stuck

I have a good stash of salvaged parts! Springs primarily. I have taken apart every dead electronic device, the older stuff has cool parts, not so much for newer. I used a VCR head to make a turn-table. Here is what CD player laser readers are good for, projector headlights. The orange turn signals are LEDs.

Last time I was on Shapeways, saw various turbos. What name (brand) do you go by?

I didn't know it was so commercialized. And it's a sad state of affairs that you *need to* apologize for a stupid flag, people need to stop getting outraged over stupid things. Where do old mobile homes go to die? I know any prior to a certain date can't be resold and relocated.

I like the wheel modification. That blue is nice, add a pearl over it. I just like purple. Doing a white interior made it pop. It was good enough to get on the cover of a model magazine (not going to look at this moment).

I'm assuming this is a 1/24 scale kit, no idea of manufacturer. I built this 1/16 AMT for a friend in the car club, who owned one, took some work to make it look right. Very cool project, look forward to seeing it completed!

Thank you! I've seen the Fujimi kit on Hobby Link, but almost never the Tamiya Snap-tite Speedster anywhere. BTW that is Model Master metallic brown. I better steer the discussion back to the Boomerang! I found this forum discussion, but don't know Russian. It appears the builder did not finish it? http://forum.autoinscale.com/viewtopic.php?id=7538

built without permit

LOL When I saw the topic, I was like "did my Gumball Rally picture prompt this?" Thanks you for giving me the credit. I'm sure Hollyweird has an agreement with LA to use this for location, bet the permit cost helps fund .... I better stop here.

Sorry, been remodeling my house. I've lived in the same house that I built 33 years ago. Domino effect, started with moth infestation in the wool Berber carpet that I finally ripped out, which led to fixing this and that, and repainting (third time, been milking it). Which led to adding a wall to hide the refrigerator, which always bugged me. About 80% done, not counting getting new flooring where the carpet was. I was planning to take time off work, which usually drops off anyway during December, to work on my Canopy Express. Masking, and brush painting, my favorite things. /sarc off/

Fooled you! I used a display for another model to take that picture. It's something Porsche never built, kit bashed a Tamiya Speedster with a Fujimi slantnose Turbo.

sunny side up, Page 189.... has a ring to it.

I know a couple of former cops, who will not wear seat belts. Recently he told me they were always in the way of his gun, and when in pursuit, wanted to exit the car quickly. So it was a habit. I feel like I'm floating around the cabin without it. When I did track time with my MINI Cooper, got a 4 point belt, which did not retract, I was pinned to the seat, which actually helped with steering because I wasn't clinging for dear life when hammering corners. Then I kept it in the car permanently, thought I would die if I got in a wreck with the normal belt and got hurt. Now I'm back to normal with the Honda.

used for Macaws.

Metallic brown ... Spyder .... been there done that!

I was contemplating getting one of these, but because it's an AMT, thought not. The convertible model is cute.

This is truly awesome! For starters, I didn't know these existed, must pull collector prices close to Nomad levels? I appreciate the effort, research and workmanship. Can you post an underside picture? I also have a soft spot for these wagons. My dad's father got this new, and had it until a couple years before he died, traded for a "Chevy" LUV. I also owned a 4 door 210 wagon, it still had the Stovebolt 6 and Powerglide.

Gawd, that looks HUGE! I've rented Jeeps in Ouray CO, and Moab Utah. I admired their capability. But they were 2 doors, which is important for rugged rock crawling. And good thing I rented in Moab, it must have broken a tie rod because it shimmied bad after doing Moab Rim. There is also a new used Jeep dealer in town, with a nice selection of modified Jeeps, glad I can't afford them. LOL

Sad to find this out. But as my undocumented wife's husband was fond of saying while fighting a brain tumor for 6 years, "life's not for everyone." That's why we must make the most with the cards we are dealt. He didn't drive, now that's a trip!
