This is a really cool project Scott. I like to see these old kits built rather than being relegated to a shelf somewhere. I believe improvements and upgrades are fine or even necessary for some kits.👍😎

That turned out fantastic David!👍 I will definitely be referring back to your build thread when I get around to building mine. Thanks for posting your efforts.🙂

That does look great!👍

Looks very nice to me?😎

Here are all the browns that I have.

This is exactly the same process as the easy radiator cap idea. Only this time I used tamiya thin cement to “weld” a 0.16” wide strip of 0.040” Evergreen to a piece of 0.080” rod. Slice off a sliver and Voila! Add a tiny stub of 0.040” or 0.060” for a window crank. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/198003-easy-radiator-cap/#comment-2997190 It’s definitely better than what some kits are equipped with.🥴

Yes, this is coming along very nicely! I agree the colors look great!😎 Reminds me of my ‘30 Packard.🙂

Again Lenny comes up with a clever rhyme.🙂

Nice! I really like the look of this Cougar…probably more than the corresponding Mustang.

2,3,4…it depends. I have a whole bunch started, but usually only 2 or 3 active builds going on at once.

Hi Jim! Glad to see you back…I was getting worried about you.😜 That is looking really nice! I’ve never seen a model that the Tamiya maroon doesn’t look good on. I’ve made a few simple sanding sticks that might work for you. The top left one I made to reach in through the windows to sand ejection marks off the headliners.

If you’re not in a hurry to sell it….I’d call it a well maintained collectible classic. That may scare off low-ballers and tire kickers.

Great ambition here. It will be interesting to see how it goes.👍😎

Looking very nice Simo!😎

Black with some very fine purple webbing could work if you want to stick with the spider motif?

Welcome to the forum David. You will indeed find the members here to be very talented, knowledgeable and willing to help with any issues you may encounter. I know I have.🙂

And I managed to get the new box rails and tailgate cap attached with CA. To hide the splices I filed a small groove and “welded” in some 0.060” half round with Tamiya extra thin cement.

Since there will be no access from above, I needed to delete the spare tire well. Actually , I am deleting the spare tire entirely. This provides an opportunity to install a larger fuel tank. I narrowed the one from the Polar Lights GTO to fit.

Color looks great on it!👍

No grill shell so…likely not. It looks great so far though.👍

Welcome to the forum Gary.🙂 That is a great looking ‘32 you’ve got going on there!😎

I don’t believe there is one which is surprising considering how popular they are. Here is a thread with a bit of info on a similar subject. Unfortunately the OP’s pics have all disappeared. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/162108-jeep-wrangler-rubicon-4-door-4-x-4/ This Meng kit would likely be the best starting point to make a 4 door out of? scalemates has the instructions for the Meng kit. https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/3/5/8/1101358-74-instructions.pdf

Are you seriously going to believe the weather channel?

Wow, I’m surprised how thick that casting is!😳 Les is correct about what to do. Milliput or Tamiya epoxy putty will work also for repairing the damage. Make sure you’re not breathing in any of the dust from that resin when grinding!
