  1. NICE project! Looking forward to seeing the build progress.
  2. Thanks, Jay. I'll try that. Yours looks perfect. BP;)
  3. That looks beautiful, Jay!!!! The tire decals - did they come with the kit or are they aftermarket? Also, how about a couple of lines as to how you did those tires. They are totally AMAZING! BP;)
  4. I did hear from him!! He said it shipped today (Thursday). Thanks again, John. Dave, that's why I ordered from him this time. He has some item no one else carries. He has a goldmine there of goodies. I've used him before, but it has been a couple years. Don
  5. Hi T-Bone. No contact. I could try the FB page, but I believe it would be a further waste of time. They haven't answered a FB question in almost a year.
  6. Thank you, John. I dislike using a public forum like this, but when other doors aren't opening, I have to protect my interests. I appreciate the help!
  7. Hi, all. Has anyone conducted business with this company? I placed an order and followed up with a question two days later with a question. It went unanswered. I sent another message three days later. No answer. I called the hobby shop. No answer, but did leave a message. I then looked around and saw postings from others having this same problem over the past couple years. I used them once a few years back, but don't remember this poor quality of customer service. Just wondering if anyone else had this problem and how did they overcome it. I'm ready to call the c/c company and void the transaction if I can. BP;)
  8. Some nice models there today! Did a little shopping. Had fun. Good to see everyone there. BP;)
  9. Anyone going to the Virginia Shootout in Salem, Virginia on 8/11 (Saturday)? BP;)
  10. Got my order today. VERY NICE quality! Can't wait to get Bandit Two underway. All I need is a 1/25 scale Fred! Don
  11. I heard from him this morning and they are on the way! Decals for Bandit Two. Don
  12. Ordered on the 15th, asked about the order on the 20th (no answer received) and wrote again just today. Have not heard back yet, but it is Sunday. Will post when I do hear.
  13. Thank you, Force. That makes total sense. BP Don
  14. I just spotted the AMT Coca Cola trailer was just released. Does anyone know if this is a 40 or a 53 footer? I can't find that anywhere! Thanks! BP
  15. The 2018 Revell catalog says it all - re-intro, re-intro, re-intro, cooperation, cooperation, cooperation. The line is tired. Look at the gaps from when model production ceased on some items: Look at dragsters! Nothing new in almost 20 years. Funny cars, pro-stockers, haven't been made in YEARS! New products are needed. Not new tooling, NEW products. The German business model is usually pretty good. I do not see them destroying molds and all these other knee-jerk reactions I am reading in forums. I don't see them making more Ferraris for the American markets. I see them embracing this new market (to them) and if they listen to the market, start new releases. Will they cost more? Probably, but maybe they need to, to advance the line. One reason - licensing issues. If they want to release a new Funny Car in John Force colors for example, they need to get his blessings, his sponsor's blessings, and on and on. That will cost Revell, so that will pass to the buyer. I'm ok with that. Lots of moving parts to moving forward. Being they seem to have been in trouble and for sale for a while, not much effort was put into them in the past few years. Let's see where it goes from here Looking at the 2018 catalog again, they were gone already to me. Don
  16. Thanks, Ben. I think your model is the one to use as a measuring stick. VERY well done!!
  17. Hey, Ben - The battery boxes you made look great also!! What type of diamond plate is that, and what type of grating material did you use for the step? They both look great. I found some plastic diamond plate, but always in the wrong scale! Don
  18. That's why they caught my eye! They do look GREAT! Don
  19. Nice job, Ben!! That truck is beautiful! What kit did the fuel tanks come out of, or are they aftermarket? Don
  20. Thanks, all, for the great info! I appreciate the help!! Don
  21. Thanks, Jim! Yes, I see I made a typo. I'll change that. I'll start putting the pieces together. Sounds like a fairly painless build. I appreciate the help. Don
