I sure hope yours was molded better! There was No saving this ones mold color....heat sinks galore, panel lines were inverted mold lines, but hey! We're molders!

I don't know "How"? I could be anymore Pleased!! You! Are still the Best!! Is your white one one of the old originals? Doesn't appear to have the sink marks this La Bamba one does.

... wasn't quick enough on the reply! You read my mind...make sure to request something useful!!! ...cuz for the umpteenth time...you've saved my ___!

If that fret is truly an extra....you may not need....or certain pieces you'd need to keep...the scripts are all I'm really after to use, well maybe the key chain or other small morsels. Pick out something useful & PM me....see if I can accommodate.

The second picture is close enough for the girls I run around with! ... here's what I got from the 1/24th body.

You never cease to amaze me! my friend!!

I had looked at that set on their site as well, but haven't acted on due to unsure of size, this pic shows the less distorted original script. I attempted filling the sink, but it will not correct the curve in the emblems and under lying surface... also would still be visible in a foil casting. Remove & replacement looks to be the best solution. If you were to have an extra set you're not intending to use... I would gladly trade you out of it

I'm working on a Monogram 58 Thunderbird ... I'm looking if anyone would happen to have a fret with the front fender scripts I could barter for B4 I destroy the molded ones fixing heat sinks. 🤔 Besides the horrible mold lines/flash Monogram managed to create some hellacious heat sinks impossible to overlook!! Original scripts... (approximately 15 mm in length x slightly less than a mm tall) I have a "Very good" stash to trade from...LMK what you'd like in trade. THX! for checking my post! Kevin

You are absolutely correct! The new formula is useless and had left a residue that caused the term "fish eyes"...the only thing I use anymore is a toothbrush,comet & warm water flowing over as I scrub. I "soak" nothing resin anymore!

Sending PM.

Very good Sir! ... can't fault a guy that knows what he wants. Best wishes!

To be accurate....it needs to be done as Gerry did. I have an uncut Fred Cady set I would trade away

** Star Models ** Steve D. Kohler Saddened to say! ..... but first chance I had to post this. I knew Steve personally & he fought many different life struggles with everything he had!! You will be missed my friend!! RIP😞 https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/omaha/name/steven-kohler-obituary?id=58523326

" Like" Snake used to say.... Adapt Improvise and Overcome! These mixers tend to flop on their sides from time to time......add a PT cruiser, TaDah!! Instant diorama 😎👍

Best wishes to your build!

Very Good Answer!! 👍

I conversed a bit with FoMoCo66 (Elliot) and I have decided to go out on a limb and invest in the future of our hobby with this rebuilder '66 Falcon. This gentleman impressed me & convinced me by being an Eagle Scout... extremely impressive & admirable in today's world.

Tell me a bit about yourself young man as the modeler. ( in PM if you prefer) I see you're a fellow Iowan. 😎 ... noticed the "Good Guys" Des Moines pics @ the IA State fairgrounds.

Great show!...I will return for the camaraderie!, awesome creativity!, vendor selections, and I still need to get Bruce's autograph! 😜

Good eye!!!

Very Sharp "bird of prey"!! ... understandable why he still has it! 😎

Knowing it would have to be a frame mount...went looking...DW beat me to it.

You have the right to inquire on progress, ...but you upgraded your special order. I remember ordering something from him.... Still took a cpl weeks, but did eventually arrive. Like a lot printers...they print to order not to inventory.

Here ya go Rich!...also from a promo to be restored.
