  1. I think this is called satans crate,have forgotton who produced it
  2. Thanks Donato,Bill and Greg Bill,the tires are included in the kit
  3. Great engin detail, good looking street sleeper!
  4. Larry,Bill Trevor and Joe,Thanks for the looks and complements Joe,Moebius make some fine kits This is the first one i had a problem with the warped hood but they sent a replacement so all is well now. I have the 67 F-350 ramp truck,1956 Chrysler 300B and the 1961 Pontiac Ventura plus the classic Batman collection. Still waiting on Batgirl to be released to round out that collection. I want to get to the vehicles soon but i suffer from the classic "so many models,So little time" syndrom
  5. Great looker,love the Corvair!
  6. Heres one i did a wile back when i was on a fantasy rod kick And today we find Betty preparing dinner for tonights feast
  7. Those Duke boys knew how to hot rod a Charger! The build looks great,i was a fan of the show due to the cool car and also miss Daisy in her shorts,or lack there of! For those that cringe at the thought of the confederate flag,the one depicted on the car is the battle flag The flag representing the confederate states wint through several versions with this one being the last befor they lost the war
  8. Thanks guys Steve,i think the air breather iused was included in the kit because i lost the stock one.
  9. This is sort of a nod to my first car i bought when i was 16 It was a white with red interior 1963 SS nova with a 6 cyl powerglide trans But in true earlie 70s fashion i put a 283 V8 with a 400 turbo automatic in it,changed the front spindles and rear end to 5 lug Sold it befor i could get it done due to my attention moved on to females Sometimes i think i shoulda stuck with the car,def would have cost a lot less ?
  10. Thanks guys
  11. I finished this one up earlier this year Dont remember having any problems so i think i went together well The colors are craft paints with Rust-oelum gloss and matt clears Thanks for looking
  12. Jim,Tommy thank you. The Wimbledon white i hit fairly close The yellow i was shooting for was Tampico yellow but i missed that one , but dident even notice how close it is to Yuma yellow till Tommy pointed it out and i looked at the color chart on the instructions!
  13. Just wraped this one up Nice kit with few issues other than having a badly warped hood and a dickens of a time getting the front windsheild in Done in craft paints with Rust-oleum gloss and matt clear Thanks for looking
  14. Just did a googlie search and found the Pebeo 100 ml spray cans which is about 3 3/8 ounces at about $10 american dollars,still to rich for my pocket
  15. Never heard of Pebeo paint but at $19.99 CA for a can just a littler larger than the short cuts seem a bit over priced Here in the states a can of short cuts is$3.99 at hobby lobby Just my opinion but i would find a place that sells the Krylon befor i would pay the pirates ransom of $19.99 for a five ounce can of paint FWIW the short cuts are 3 ounces
  16. Update to this post I received a email from Erik yesterday and the parts are on the way Looking forward to wraping this one up ?
  17. Thanks Dusty That is supposed to be Tampico yellow over Wimbledon white Tried matching the colors by using the color chips on the back page of the instructions The white is almost perfect but the yellow is off a bit and i thought i better stop wile its close I found a 72 f-250 4x4 on bring a trailer that im trying to replicate BAT claims there were only 11 models of this truck done in that color combo I usualy test fit part but got over confident in Moebius,have built several of their models and this is the first ive have issues with Gonna give it a couple weeks after i shot the second email and if no response ill try to fix it. Fortunatly i have enough of the yellow i mixed to paint the hood

Indiana Ave ,Sellersburg In 47172 During building the kit i found the Hood ,part # 2 is warped badly I have included photos of the part Can i get a replacement hood,part #2, Hood badge left,part # 408, Hood badge right #409 and Chrome trim bar #48 Parts #48, 408 and 409 are not defective but i dont know if i could remove them without breaking them. Please reply with total cost to deliver to zip code 47130 Thank you for your attention to this matter And then received this email Moebius Models <customerservice@moebiusmodels.com>     To: You Mon 8/7/2023 7:52 PM Thank you for reaching out! We will be reviewing and responding to your email shortly. There is no need to resend your original email. Thanks again, Moebius Models. Its now been a week and have not received a response Does Moebius take longer than 7 days to respond to e-mails or are you basicly on your own if you have issues with one of their kits I think i can strighten this out if nessary buy my concern is getting the chrom badges and front trim piece off with out breaking them.
  21. I still sometimes get the robos calls, but when i see its not a known number i answer and wait for the human to respond and give them this Hello,thank you for calling saten,prince of the underworld. I am currently at the crossroads recruting new souls to steal and cannot take your call At the sound of the tone please leave a message and one of my minions will return your call as soon as possable Most of them hang up by the time i get to the currently at the crossroads part.More good one's is answering with "This is Batman" , Thank you for calling Jesus, Thank you for calling Third Reich Ministrys, Ghost Busters,whaddaya want! strangly when i started doing that the unwanted calss declined to where i only get one or two a week
  22. I have purchased from upscale all the way back when it was online only and now shop his brick and morter store because it's local to me Always been great service and Chriss is hands down the best hobby shop in the Louisville Ky area,beating two other Mom and pops and a chain store. Waiting four months for a pre order is sometime how it goes in the model world Shipping snafu's happen but telling folks to beware of Upscale Hobbise is a bit overdramatic in my opinion
