    Hard to tell which those are. I need to get a set of these aluminum covers. Are these available?

    I love this car and the model that you built is so fine. The crowning achievement is that you posted side views of the real deal and the model. If you can duplicate the wheel covers that would make this a real sleeper. My cousin had a 68 SS 396 in mist blue with redlines and wheel covers. That car looked like a space ship back then and belied it’s performance. love your model.

    Snake. I found the duplicolor seem to clog up after a use or two….so clean the tube and nozzle as best as u can or plan to decant after a model or two.

    Haven’t built a truck in 30 years. Bought this lit for $17 on a whim last year. And wanted to challenge myself with a first time weathering attempt. Goal was to do a Nevada -Texas truck that had some miles that were all in the dry climates. Here is the cab finished tonight. The tanker will be picked up in Texas when we can find a driver, probably Monday.

    Model looks great! Thanks for sharing with us. Was just at the Indianapolis 8 hour race last weekend and there were quite a few of these cars. Now I want some Fried Chicken for supper.....

    Kurt, what is your take on the gravel tires? Are they Michelin? I bought the Buffum kit and the things came with slicks. I need to build a gravel spec car, can you provide a good picture of what you have, and where to source them? Thanks.

    You talking about that Nautical themed one? Like a Caddyshack style Flying Wasp Corvette? Cue the Champagne!

    Whoa! I thought this show was done for a few years ago. As a result I never even expect to look for a Toledo show. Seriously, perhaps I don't look hard enough, but can I set some kind of alert for shows that are coming up? I am sad that I missed this show. I am so looking forward to the MCC show in Michigan next month.

    Awesome! I love how you positioned and shot the model perfectly to look real! And that weathering - perhaps you can tell us more on what you used on that especially the front bumper. I just saw a real one ( I think it was real, hmmmm) this week doing some service work on trees or something on the side of the road. I slowed down to look at at and thought about this kit....

    Oh I hate to do that myself! I love the trio and the 312 engine compartment looks great! The whole model turned out to present nicely, it has to go up front and center. May I ask what happened to the decals on the lower side pods?

    Not to hijack, but here is my ying to your yang....

    Rich. Here is the 1/10 scale kit by Nichimo. Nd you say over 800 builds! Hory Mory that is huge! Congratulations on that number. I have over 200 instruction sheets stored in a box to keep track of my tally….. got some catching up to do. I also have a few Stratos models built. 1/43, 1/24, 1/20 so far…..
  13. steveracer
    What 5 scales are you building the Stratos in?
  14. steveracer
    Two of us will be there with models to enter in the show. And money to spend on quality accessories....
  15. steveracer
    excellent! Do you have the 1/10 scale kit to build? this is my favorite car of all time.
  16. steveracer
    Model is looking great! Love it.

    HL Japan order arrived when I was on vacation. The two will be built as Olympus Rally competitors, and the Mustang I need to find some nice US decals to maybe replicate the VOLT car.

    Ok. Not sure what this photo really is. However. This reminds me of a movie I saw long ago. But it was an eye doctor. The movie STARTED with this scene - eventually the eye doctor poured acid in the patients eyes. I turned it off right away. And think of this every time I go to the opthalmologist. no it is not safe!

    Nitchke.

    I built this Carlos Sainz Cossie long time ago. It’s a Provence moulage 1/43 scale.

    Bought this at the HL for the forty off price. Considering a flatbed version of this Pete if the time permits.

    Aaron, looking real good after 25 years away! Can't wait to see the final result, those big scale cars are daunting at times!
  23. steveracer
    Love it looks great!

    Great job on the Ford coupe Cheyenne! Looks great.
  25. steveracer
    Cool. I will be watching this build! looks great. Have fun with it. one thing I found with tamiya acrylics by brush is they don’t have a good “ bite” to the surface. And scratch off easily so be careful.
