    First, I fail to see how asking a hobby related question is "stir(ring) the pot". Second, referring to Revell's demise is indeed a factual recent event. It happened. Fortunately, they were regenerated by the new owners, and are back. And that's a fact.

    Well, if it's a rumor, maybe you should take it up with the hobby shops? They seem to think it is credible info. I took this photo myself just about six weeks ago at a well stocked hobby shop in New England.

    Sounds like a good idea.

    Minor rub thru on edges is possible, but easy to touch up. I have used this technique for a long time with much satisfaction.

    Black BMF.... take favorite entire sheet of regular BMF, spray it whatever shade of black. Results- black BMF, that will stick better then their black store bought stuff.

    "Nine-0-Nine" is gone forever. One of eighteen known currently registered to fly by the FAA. There are fatalities, but too early for numbers or names. Fourteen victims; three were crew, ten were passengers, and one was maintenance ground crew. May a higher power watch over all involved.

    This is going to get expensive for those of us who "quit the hobby".

    Jeez, Chuck! You are one prolific builder! You have weathering down to an art form. Always good stuff.

    Man, that's nice! I like how you did the e-brake linkage. I couldn't get that on mine.

    Rumors are started by people who read the title, but not the content. We should not have to pay the price for their shortcomings.

    The "Cool Blue" script is nice.

    Well, there it is! It finally happened! Round2 will finally introduce.... a Coke© sponsored '69 Charger! Woo-hoo. Anxiously awaiting that long desired Coke© sponsored USS Enterprise. It's coming! I can feel it!

    Hate to buy it, just to find out if the high beam lens are molded in red. Anyone?

    My! My! My! Lookin' fine!

    This was photographed yesterday in a nearby hobby shop. Hate to see it come to this.

    Either a '38, or '39 Ford pickup

    I would say either-or. It's more about avoiding obvious oversize in 1/25 scale, than accuracy. I personally feel that even in early 20th century automobiles, hobby plug wires are fine. I suppose that thread could be used for that era auto, tho I have heard that running thread through wax is the method used back in the early days of model building.

    Perfect example of "garden hose" plumbing. Thanks, Bill.

    Some builders, especially on the social media pages, have no idea of the level of the hobby as it is today. They are still content with using thread for plug wires, or worse, oversize junk found in electronics, etc. Not to shame them, I just want to show them what "oversized" wiring looks like. Have you seen this as well? Do you have photos of that from way back before you advanced? I also hope to steer them to pages such as here.

    How do you do that? Besides having boxes of spare parts, you must have a box of spare imagination! And speed! Just killer creativity, Chuck.

    Glass shop could cut you more shelving to fit. EDIT: Noticed you already made reference to that. Also, why can't I delete my own reply?
  22. Jon Cole
    Just... awesome!
  23. Jon Cole
    Great taildragger!

    This is so smooth! It really works!
