  1. Try to locate Sharpie Industrial Markers. I found they don't turn purple.
  2. Press n' Seal. Just stick it on.
  3. Pete: While film is workable on the side windows, I am not certain that the rear window is perfectly flat both vertically, and horizontally. And as such, no guarantees the film would adhere. Tamiya Smoke; I have read poor reviews of. I would need more information before attempting. But the bottom line really, is why couldn't they just include one window set clear; and another set tinted? Gassers and dragster kits frequently are made available with both clear, or in color.
  4. As far as a Dodge Caravan; should the former Lindberg tooling ever be reissued, it could definitely benefit from smoke tinted windows. It's not my cup of joe, but the finished product looked more like a portable display case with all the windows.
  5. I'm no kit expert, but... what does this have to do with the topic "AMT 1925 Ford Paddy Wagon"?
  6. Use a Sharpie marker, on the inside of the window. Maybe use a flexible ruler from Staples to help.
  7. Remember these from 2012? Some company called IMC that went nowhere. Based on JoHan I believe.
  8. Will this be available from any stateside vendors?
  9. WOW! That's the benchmark for all other '40 Ford cabrio's right there. A hat tip to you, sir.
  10. I probably watched my dad "helped me build" a Jaguar XK140, iirc. Some oddball brand kit. EDIT: Apparently, it was an XK120 by "RINGO".
  11. More of a fall theme, but hey- it's got pumpkins, so, Halloween.
  12. Hindsight is 20/20. All that would have done is left two destroyed cars chained to the tops of lifts. I don't know if it was the flood, or the wind that did them in. Probably both.
  13. Nice! Nice!
  14. As a Mini owner (2007), this is a must buy. Even if it is a diff gen car.
  15. One doesn't come across a '76 Buick Skyhawk too often. Thought it was a Chevy Monza at first. Man said he had it fixed and repainted to match the one from his youth.
  16. Would I be wrong to assume that many parts will need to be chrome stripped? Treadless tires, excess chrome parts, I don't know if I'll bite on this one. Not with so many other kits to catch my attention (what little I have)
  17. I believe the smiley face is centered just fine. Perhaps it may seem off because the fuel tank has what I think is a protrusion for the fuel pump; just to the right.
  18. Awesome rendition! Love the colors... and the p-etch grille!
  19. Found this pic from Revell/de:
  20. Check this place out... 'Craziest thing': California home listing with giant mystery room confounds the internet (wmur.com)
  21. '63 Impala flatty wearing 80's shoes.
  22. Not one, but two orange C8's at a stop light. No way to get a pic, so I grabbed one from the 'net. This, but x2:
  23. Wasn't the '75 Caprice reissue announced at some point? I can't seem to locate it. Anyway, I never knew there was a T-top version of the car. Would make an interesting conversion.
