Engine 51

Very similar to what’s on my bench right now.

Thanks for the heads up Tim!

Decals….everything about them. What an aggravating hassle. ?

I have heard that this is a very challenging kit.

Like me some really nice Oldsmobile....well done.

Nice, nice, nice!

Well on your way....looks great so far....interested to see how it goes for you as I have one sitting in the wings waiting for my attention.

Very well done. Really like the setting as well.

Narrow.

Nice! Really like that cab. Wonder if there are any more knocking around??

+100

Just got back from my local HL. No deep discounted kits, not even the 40% off. Guess that’s next week.

Well done…. very nice!

I use it on tires. Does a great job of taking the “new” shine off and leaving a very realistic appearance.

Not having more time to work on what’s on my bench. I see these great finished builds posted here, and can only dream about having the required time to get my rigs finished.

That’s a great looking truck!!

Very nice…always liked that era of Ford rigs. You mention the engine came from “Jamie”, who is that?

Doodles are wonderful dogs….I know because we have one. You two will be very happy together.

Thanks Guys! ALF Eagle is on the bench now.

Nope, it isn’t. There was someone on this forum that labeled it as such a while back when I asked a question about it. After having built it, I think it’s a pretty nice kit. Offers a couple challenges, but I guess that’s what keeps us on our best game.

Here is my version of the “garbage” AMT Chevy Rescue Van. Not too bad for garbage. It presented some challenges for sure, but nothing that couldn’t be overcome. I was not at all happy with the decals, but, live and learn. This van is strictly a fictitious rig. Overall, I’m fairly happy with the end result. Thanks for looking.

Kyle, so sorry to hear that. It is a very difficult thing to go thru. We lost our old guy (15 years) on July 2. I still look for him to be in his place. God bless.

Yep, had lots of those.
