Nothing special, just OOB stuff..................

I built the Salvinos 71 Charger kit ( not sure if this is the one you are building) and had no problems with the headers. I think there were 2 sets of headers, make sure you are using the right set.

I admit I watch HPI now and then. Mostly to see a kit I may be interested in. But I mostly build out of the box anyway, and don't do much prep or detailing. I used to put up on the bench photos of my builds here but found that building out of the box and just doing simple builds does not get much attention. Not really worth the time and effort to take the photos and post if no one is interested in a simple OOB build. Really a shame though as the hobby has something for all, the elite builders, which I really enjoy seeing the builds that are done, and the simple builders like me that just get joy and relaxation from building a model even if it is just a plain jane build.

This is the Revell kit. Nice kit, no real problems with it. Instead of building the delivery van I just kept it a custom 39 Chevy Van. The paint is Tamiya Copper. Interior done with black and green. All comments welcome and thanks for looking.

I get the aluminum craft wire from hobby lobby. Comes in different gauge sizes and colors. And it bends easily.

Roll out livery..........................

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the comments.

Nice Revell kit. I didn't do it justice. Tamiya purple acrylic. Rustoleum black interior. All comments welcome, and thanks for looking.

Polar Lights kit. A warped, ill fitting kit. I did the best I could with it. Tamiya Chrome Silver Acylic, and Tamiya Red. Some Rustoleum Bright Coat. Wired the engine. The little rubber blower belt broke, made one out of electrical tape. Decals were bad, broke several but tried to piece them on. All comments welcome, and thanks for looking.

Cool looking 55. Nice work.

Very nice 55 gasser.

Looking good Bob. Nice detail work.

Beautiful blue. Nice work.

Outstanding. That engine is a model on it's own.

I spray with my airbrush in my shed which has a big door. I just open it, put a fan in front of it and spray away. No fumes inside.
