  1. 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
  2. Thanks guys Steve,i think the air breather iused was included in the kit because i lost the stock one.
  3. 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 ?
  4. Thanks guys
  5. 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
  6. 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!
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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 ?
  11. 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

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.
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. I'm getting the dreaded " this video violates YouTube terms of service "
  18. Tom Cruise war of the worlds and a note to The Hollywood folks, please stop using cgi as if your a preteen that just found out what his junk can do. To me, cg i is a great tool when used sparingly.
  19. I felt it was PayPal and eBay fault. At the time PayPal happily pointed out the user agreement that did say PP would not be responsible for any nfs fees resulting from the use of PP.This happened in 2007 was just before the bankster financial crash that resulted in the American tax payer bailing out several banks.auto manufacturers and other big companies while the responsible party's bailed out with their golden parachutes. I don't know if PayPal has the same user agreement now but I don't intend to find out as I will never have an account with them again. For me that was a expensive life lesson to be sure you know what your signing when you agree to their terms of use. That reminds me of another financial blunder when about three years ago hackers stole millions of people's personal info from one of the credit reporting agencies. I was informed by a letter in the mail that my info was in that hack. As a result of that my bank account has been hacked two times,fortunately the bank covered any losses. I have no issues with anyone becoming a success in life but if your in charge of a multi billion dollar corporation at least have the dignity to take responsibility when things go crashing down all around you. Politicians, CEO's, personal injury lawyers all belong in the same pile of irresponsible thieves that think of no one but themselves. If this sounds bitter it's because I am.
  20. Its been several years ago,i think it was 2007, but the bank and i did have several conversations about this and they refused to do anything.Not to trash a banks good name but it was PNC and that did end our relationship.For me,reguardless of what fancy promotional campaign todays bank use to lure people into a false sense of security they are their for one reason which is to maximize profits on the backs of their customers.I did take ownership of being dumb enough to link paypal to my bank but try to find anyone to hold accountable at PP or PNC was impossible.You would think that a guy that has lived in the same state for his entire life and suddenly he starts making purchases from Vietnam would raise a red flag
  21. I see they fixed the listing to include the correct photos.Not that i havent drank away $40 but i would think long before i would bid on a model kit that the only pics were of a cat ???
  22. Remove the wheelie bars and i bet it would make a great wheel stander.
