Looking at some of your previous posts in which you added image links form your PB album, like this topic: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=77793&hl= ...it looks like you used the HTML link instead of the "[ I M G ]" link. Use the IMG link at the bottom of the "Links to share this photo" in the right hand column, like so: You also have your settings set so that when someone clicks on one of your posted images, it takes them directly to that image in your PB album. If you don't want that, you can change it in your album settings.

http://moparbvans.proboards.com/thread/1972/mpc-25-dodge-van-model Works just fine for me. Are you trying to hotlink an image hosted elsewhere, or a link as I posted above? Did you use the link icon in the toolbar here or just try to post it in the body of your message?

I'm guessing you've used up you allotted storage space for attached images, Greg. Each member is allowed only so much space, so you'll need to use a photohosting site such as Photobucket to host your images, then cut and paste the links in your posts here.

I think it might have been AF/X'n Scale, Bill. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=70368&p=873158

The chrome plating on mine was very good, with no issues of note. The rear tail panel, which IIRC was aluminum on the real car, is absolutely beautiful, and likely the best part of the kit. The bumpers and grille look good, too, despite the molded in(!) headlights. The driveshaft is molded to the floorpan/chassis piece, so that look horrible, and the chassis is of the perfectly-straight-on-both-sides variety, meaning it drops right inside the body shell, but leaves a gap all the way around, save for one or two areas. The interior tub isn't too bad, despite being a little shallow and having molded in door door panels and a floor console. Not sure why the trailing edges of the front wheel arches are like that (Mark?), but those areas stick out like a sore thumb and will need to be corrected. I can't say I'd recommend using this body and the associated body parts-- bumpers, grille, header panel, etc.-- for anything more than a donor to use with a more accurate '67-'76 Mopar A-body, though. If you've looked over the AMT '75-6 AMC Gremlin kits, this one should look very familiar, with it's generic looking performance parts (Thrush Outsider sidepipes excluded), and engine assembly that looks kinda like the real thing, but lack the details which most '90s and up kits include, and the chassis has molded on riser pegs to support the metal axles. The "340" bodyside stripes are a bit puzzling, too, as mentioned earlier in this topic, since the 340 was long gone by '75. On the positive side, the body shape looks much more accurate than AMT's '71 Duster 340, especially around the rear quarter windows, as well as the general roof shape.

Posts which haven't received a reply in thirty days in the Trade and Wanted sections are purged, so maybe that was the case.

Joseph, has that figure been primed and prepped, or is the grey color we're seeing the printing media itself?

I thought we all agreed to never mention those AMT Goodyear Rally GT off-road tires again?

You posted a TRUCK parts request in the MODEL CARS section, and it got moved to the MODEL TRUCKS section. This post explains how to find your posts if they are now in a different location on the forum: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=61235&hl=

Is this guy close enough to a cowboy, or just wearing a cowboy hat and boots?:

The way Viper sales are trending, they won't need to worry about a refreshing in a few years: http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/19/srt-viper-plant-idled-over-slow-sales/

Thanks, guys. I added a rectangular clearance blister under the seat...: I think I'm going to use the large fuel tanks found in the GMC Astro kit, too: *edit* By this point (2/3/2022) things have advanced, but here's a fitting of the right hand fuel tank and brackets loosely held to the frame rail:

Beautiful paint work, Billy. Wow.

No, it will be more of a "What if...?" factory experimental type project. A truck Studebaker might've built only one example of not long before they went out of business. I added the rear valance panel vents from the 1/20 MPC McLaren Mk8d kit to the cab's rear wall and used the GMC Astro 95's engine support piece as the new rear body support: The semi-circular notches are where the turbine engine's exhaust pipes will exit under the rear of the cab-- not much clearance between them and the U-shaped support brace, but there's only so much room in which to fit everything.

It doesn't look like any of the DOH characters to be honest. Here are the seated Bo and Luke Duke figures on eBay, mentioned above: http://www.ebay.com/itm/G-Or-1-24-1-25-scale-2004-Figure-set-UNPAINTED-Resin-NO-MINNESOTA-SALES-/261436513472?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item3cded49cc0

No, not mine. Just a video I had saved after seeing the link on another forum a while back. This one has some good audio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJU3M-T0TXI

Does everything else work properly, except for the "View New Content" button?

Is there a "Compatibility View" tab/button in the IE browser tool bar?

Sounds great, Billy, and nice work on the body so far.

Love this.
