  1. ?No one has this model?
  2. All had them, and no there was never a "spear".
  3. Recently got the Revell '57 Belair 2-door sedan and just opened it up. The tops of the front fenders are supposed to be a peak from front to back. Instead as, you can see in the pics, the peak is flat. Anyone else have this kit? If so, what does the tops of the fenders look like on yours? I'll be interest in your replies. Thanks, Mike
  4. Looking great Tom....where'd the carbs come from? A lot of detail there.
  5. I've used Mr Color and Createx with good results. I like Mr Hobby paints.
  6. If I had some and drank beer anymore I would for sure lift a few to Bobby. Family and I met him at several collectable and NASCAR affairs and he always took the time to talk to us (as did son Davey). Such a nice and friendly guy. Was so sad to heart of his passing. RIP as you are now up there with Clifford and Davey. losing
  7. Great looking Nova and great job Cody!! ?
  8. I'm thinkin' if you want 100% accuracy you ain't gonna find it. Build it to your liking and enjoy it!! And by the way, my first ever 1:1 car was a '57 BelAir 2Dr Hdtp.
  9. Oh yeah, really like the Turbo Coupe TJ. Soft spot in my heart for those cars. Had a Black w/Red interior '86. Loved that peppy 4 cyl.
  10. Wow Simo, I really like the color. Gonna be prrrty!!
  11. Sending you a PM Jeff.

  13. Well I sure like it?
  14. Yep, great looking '62 Dan. The paint design is cool and I sure like the engine treatment?
  15. Oh yeah David, super nice looking 300, great job?

  18. Sharp lookin' Mopar racer ya got there Walter!!
  19. Wow, that's amazing about Baldwin, had to idea. Will be a very cool build Larry!
  20. Very cool and good looking car Jack. Love the black and gold!!
  21. Built the ":Street Machine" version, loved the kit. The tubbed rear is a neat feature. I have the Revell Sedan next up. A whole lot of parts.
  22. The suggestion of using the Mr. Hobby Leveling 400 was a life saver for me (well at least for stripping paint off?) Easily wiped off with just a small amount of thinner sections at a time. Then a tight spots and creases I dipped toothbrush in a small amount in a bottle, brushed it on, waited a few seconds and brushed it right off. Got this much off with the Easy-off after not getting any off with the Castrol Degreaser. After the thinner all gone and like it was unpainted. Didn't take pics before I re-primed it.
  23. You're right Harry. I only buy the big bottle anyway since I use Mr. Hobby paints a lot. Google the thinner and it will come up with some sellers. It is hard to find tho, especially at a reasonable price.
  24. Well Don, you are the winner. The Mr Hobby Leveling 400 did the trick. Like you said, just dampen cloth, rub and off it comes. Thanks for that suggestion.
  25. Thank you Marcus and Les. I did see in earlier posts about the brake fluid and IPA. I have not tried them yet, was hoping someone actually tried stripping the Createx. Anyway, will try both and see what happens. Thanks again guys!
