  1. It looks to me that Atlantis got the weird stuff. I guess Revell thought if it resembled a "normal" vehicle then it would be easier to sell.
  2. Other than not being able to build it stock, I think it's pretty decent.
  3. I assumed he knew that and was showing a different type of example.
  4. Best use of a Fairmont I've seen.
  5. Hopefully they aren't selling well for the scalpers so they stopped.
  6. I feel any curbside should be issued as full detail, but I takes what I can gets. I have the red version.
  7. Yea I'm a Pepsi guy, there are some vintage kits with Pepsi decals. I saw the Miller truck and trailer at my LHS but there were too many other things I had to have more. I do have a Hostess truck and trailer which I think is currently out as a US Mail truck.
  8. Oh yes, I would get one if they had it here, but for the trailer not the decals. And I already have one non Rat Fink version. Edit: Actually I have two, one Coke version.
  9. I guess Rat Fink isn't a huge seller nowadays.
  10. I saw an S10 Xtreme, work truck edition.
  11. Not much of a selection at the Hiawassee store near Pine Hills FL. Vettes, Model Ts, surf wagons, and some of the older ones they had before.
  12. My mom had a Pinto wagon. I thought it was purple but she says it was blue. I have a kit to build it.
  13. Here is the finished result. That concludes the modeling/shaping portion of this repair. Tune in next time when I'll be gluing a broken camshaft together using Super Glue.
  14. I'm using JB Weld again, but to fill in the chip instead of gluing everything together with it. I've used it before to fill in exhaust crossovers at the gasket and it worked well. Made a dam, clamped in the key. Poured it in. Let it set up and started shaping. I'll wait for it to fully cure before finishing the shaping.
  15. This'll be fun to fix. You can see the remnants of the JB Weld that was used to hold it together before I got it.
  16. Sounds like you need to charge more for the tires. No need to feel bad about asking a price you think is fair. Quality costs money.
  17. If you're on a phone use dark mode.
  18. Best I could do, but this truck with the side caved in.
  19. Looks like they're getting the Wal-Mart leftovers.
  20. I've been wanting to work on something for a while now, so I finally did. I cut the hood off the Surf Shark. About to work on getting the transmission out of the chassis plate.
  21. When my wife and I go places I almost always drive. I tell her I don't want people thinking I'm some unlicensed loser that needs his girlfriend to drive him around, which is what I think when I see a man on the passenger side.
