  1. The kit came with 2 round number stickers instead of decals. They were done well so I used them, bad idea. They were probably good for a nice flat surface but would not stay formed to any curved surface. Had to repaint the hood but got lucky with the body. Found some bigger better round numbers in the 1969 Corvair kit. Used some decal set and they snugged right in. Should complete this build today.
  2. Hi Izzy Merit on bottom(great artwork) Smer on the top. Plus Smer had this Alfa Romeo, don't know if there is a Merit Alfa Romeo
  3. Simple motor, 6pcs .
  4. Yes they are
  5. I have 2 of these 1 Merit kit and 1 from Smer . This is the Smer kit . It's a multi piece body so there was some seam filling .The only thing I changed is is a slightly taller rear resin tire and how the rear axle sets in . Tamiya metallic blue paint. Pretty simple kit.
  6. Thanks to Casey for sending me out some parts and asking nothing in return.
  7. Mint in the box Ertl IH and a few AMTs.
  8. MPC 28 Lincoln kit, Dracula’s dragster kit and parts from Digger kit . I made it the last build of 2018, adding the steering column later.

  10. Yes everything you see, base, 2 figures ,the bat and tombstone..
  11. Forgot the other photo?
  12. Cool looking build, never knew the kit or the real sub existed..
  13. Thanks, took awhile to decide to even build it knowing the kit problems, but try something new worked out fine.
  14. Thanks for the great comments
  15. The parts used Flintstone resin body Chassis from a stock 25 Ford ,tires are Lindberg D type Jaguar with painted on whitewalls, engine from AMT 53 Ford pickup, steering wheel and dash / windshied frame , firewall are Ala Kart , the grille is AMT 34 pickup, suspension is modified Ala Kart...everything else is parts box. ..body is basically Ala Kart with a rear deck
  16. No almost everything in the kit was chrome over flashed parts. I de -chromed just about everything like complete motor and entire chassis , sanded them all smooth, primed and painted. I mixed a up some green and white with a dash of yellow for paint. I dont really stick to a game plan on these older kits?. Cut out some clear green plastic sheet for roof glass.
  17. Its straight up on mine but sometimes I have to flip them upright on Fotki, because I take the pictures with a tablet and something goes a little wacky with the pic...I'll try again tomorrow thanks...plus my photography is just plain bad.
  18. Extended the base in front for water, nice break from the vehicleswhen your stuck
  19. Thanks, here's one more
  20. This kit is pretty finicky to build, but its still better than some.
