How big a box would this come in?

Yeah, today you only get about 4 or 5 color options on a new car, and usually only two for the interior. Just look at a color charts for some of the old cars, there's enough choices to boggle the mind. Hell you could get a three tone if you wanted.

I sat in one at the dealers and wasn't too impressed. I'm only 6'1" but I had to tilt my head down to my chest to fit under the roof.

This is why you never want to wash your car with hot water.

My 64 Chevelle Malibu SS. This isn't a pic of my car but it was the same color. This one seems to be sitting a little high.

An Airfix 1/24 Hawker Hurricane.

I wasn't specifically talking about this kit, but from my modeling experience of several decades, regardless of the number of my posts, I've found that most of their kits are garbage.

How do you change the tires if you get a flat? No windshield wipers? No bumpers? Yeah it looks nice but completely impractical in real life.

Wow! Robot cars. Who's gonna watch them, robot humans?

Most Lindberg kits are garbage.

I don't know what it is, but I want it.

Must have painted it with a mop and 5 gallon bucket of house paint.

Try Tamiya clear red, that's what it's for. I back the clear part with bare metal foil or Molotow chrome.

Oops, wrong manufacturer, having a senior moment I guess. However Japanese econoboxes don't do much for me.

Most Tamiya kits are very good, but the subject matter...…...YAWN.

It needs a pearl white paint job on the tank. From someone who owned one.

A "reset" might mean getting rid of all their plastic models. Their selection gets smaller every day.

Did anyone ever make a hard top version of the Cord? I think they're much better looking.

I saw a Dodge Ram 3/4 ton 4x4 the other day with low rider tires and rims. It must be a dream to drive.....

Mine is having a model pretty much finished and go one step too far and screw it up. Another is models that look like they were dunked in a bucket of paint, all the detail is hidden under the paint.

Hey, I used to own a Vega tank, but it was only able to blow itself up.

Aren't there laws against this sort of market manipulation?

Oops, forgot the narrative. Spray base coat of what color you like, in the case of the prop I used desert yellow. When dry apply clear coat . Mix artist's oil paint with mineral spirits or odorless paint thinner (NO enamel thinner or lacquer thinner) brush on the part you're painting, lightly drag a stiff brush , like a fan brush, over the wet oil paint to get a wood grain effect. if you screw up, no problem it just wipes off. Let dry forever and recoat with gloss coat. Actually, if the oil paint is thinned quite a bit it only takes about a week to dry enough to clear coat. With practice you can get fairly convincing results.
