Well, it took three auto parts stores to find this. Perfect for the look of cast metal, or even a good neutral color. First two "nopes" were Bond Auto, then Auto Zone. The kid at AZ couldn't even get the register to work, which I took as an omen. I was going to settle for "Stainless Steel", but that wasn't what I had set out for. I put the can back while Jr. went looking for help. So glad I waited, as Sanel Auto Parts had it. They are a northeast chain, and a REAL auto parts store, with actual knowledgeable staff.

Announced on Revell's Facebook page:

After hard times required last year that I liquidate 1000+ kits, I just bought my second kit- the '49 Mercury Woody. Just too cool to pass up. Also found some #11 size saw blades

That's one looker of a Lambo! ?

Now that's a looker! ?

Yeah! That's awesome stuff!

Got to agree with that. Cut a base out of scrap plastic. Add scrap widgets for the internals. Easy peasy.

Anyone know of a kit with wheels similar to the Miata shown below? Any help would be appreciated.

Really like! Looks like the wood is done in a deep mahogany. Great touch!

I think the kit shared some with this Monza SS IMSA.

That has been reissued? Is it still molded in pink?

I recently saw a pic of a built one, painted black. The casting made me think "Great, if your nickname is Stringbean". Not the end of the world, but still worth pointing out.

Whitewalls, pad printed tire lettering, tinted glass, times are good!

Porsche 356 Speedster w/ out of state plates. Blown '55 Chevy in black Cobra. Probably a replica.

I have a vintage sourced AMT kit with the rectangular groove in the bottom of the hood. The one you cut open for a blower. I want to make sure that groove doesn’t “ghost” through the finished paint on topside when it gets time to finish it. Any ideas?

Hmmm....

Maybe the next owner will think of that. Seems like the proverbial ReMax sign never goes away at their offices.

Thread originated in '08. Sorry if I already contributed, I really don't know. But this is one of my fav...

That... is just right. Love the stance.

I avoid enamels for washes, as it is petroleum based. When you wipe it off the high points, you risk removing the chrome plate.

Indeed it does! Thank you!

How about later issues of the '53 Hornet? The stock cars? The convertible?
