I used Tenax 7R for ages, but it has been unavailable in Europe for years. I'm now hooked on EMA Plastic Weld, which I find is exactly the same, but UK-made, hence readily available. Not sure whether it is available in the colonies, but if it is, and you can't get Tenax, it's well worth to give it a try.

Built a 1/8th scale Monogram E-Type a millenium or two ago. I converted the fascia to RHD, opened and hinged the bootlid and petrol filler flap, installed a fuel filler pipe with removable cap, made beaded carpets from felt, installed a headliner and scratchbuilt dome light, hinged the quarter lights, re-laced the wheels with real wire, and added countless other detailing. I mated the body to the floor pan and filled the seams before painting it. When finished, I gave the model to the owner of a real E-Type as a gift. He still has it in a custom made showcase in his living room.

Stockcar F1 racing: Well, building for the moment. It's gonna have a 525CI Potter Cadillac with 700 bhp through a Doug Nash two-speed with reverser and a Mercedes Sprinter rear axle.

It says on Wikipedia that one of them was based on a Fiat 850 Spider. That would explain why one of them was never running.

But they could be suitable for 1/20 scale, right? May I ask where they are available and how much they are?

Hubley/Entex/Academy/Minicraft Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Nothing mentioned in this thread so far comes even remotely close in sheer atrocity. But all is still well when you compare it to the ITC Mercedes 300.

It's a 2CV 'Charleston', a special edition built 1979-1981. How on earth could this be registered in the US? The 'official' story goes that no 2CV could be registered in the US after 1973 due to safety and emissions laws.

What does one have to do to a VW-based car that it doesn't run?

A very cool idea indeed. I'll suggest this to the BriSCA for next year's Stockcar F1 tournament. Of course, this would be an oddity over there. Hard to imagine when living in a country where they are so commonplace that they literally litter the roadside.

Pun intended.

To my knowledge, there is a very nice 37 Zephyr coupe by Ertl Precision 100, which will indeed cost in the 80-100 range. Then there is a 39 convertible by Signature, which is in the 40-50 range. The same company makes a very nice 1937 Lincoln Touring Cabriolet in the same price region. Hot Wheels makes a custom coupe, which looks like being based on a 40/41 for roughly 30. The above are all 1/18 scale. Unique Replicas makes (made?) a 1937-39 [sIC] Lincoln Custom Zephyr in 1/24 scale. It is really very much modified and has even spats on the front wings. Oops, over beyond that's called skirts on the front fenders.

The Franklin Mint makes (made?) a rather good looking one.

The trouble with ebay is that it attracts the types who bid on the stuff I want.

Building model cars (or bullfrogs for that matter) involves sustained exposure to glue fumes. I think this is the catenation. The result from doing this over extended periods of times could result in the likeness of a Snake Plissken, or sum such.

Lindberg made a Bullfrog kit.

It says so in the Bible. Who am I to judge?

I really don't know. Do you, or somebody else here, have any evidence? I think (and stand corrected if I'm wrong) the real car was a Jeep Surrey, right? The Hogans Heroes Jeep did (does) include this option, but no link to Fantasy Island was made anywhere on the kit.

Apparantly there is a spot reissue of this kit. I have no 'official' confirmation, but judging by how many pop up at European online dealers at the moment, there is no other sensible explanation. So if you need one for your collection, now is the time to get it.

WOW! How did you make the fringes, if I may ask?

Depending on the thickness of your glasses, you may want to sell your N-scale and build a 1/6 scale too?

It is in the list, but further down: "Volkswagen Van from the helicopter service from Magnum" It's actually T.C's 'Island Hoppers' van. One can also build his helicopter from the Academy/Minicraft 1/24 Hughes 500, but that belongs into the 'could' thread. This list isn't nearways finished, I'm sure. Does anyone out there have something to add? When it is fairly complete, I will edit it properly for posteriority.

Suicide is a sin. May God forgive him.

Not only in the trailers, but also in the show. Whenever they went to some place by car, they used Steed's. Whenever Emma Peel drove somewhere on her own, she used first a white Lotus Elan, later a light blue metallic one: Steed not only drove Bentleys. I know of the following cars: AC Greyhound in The Sell-Out 7061 MK Triumph Herald in Warlock CPT 75 a 1930s Lagonda in Traitor in Zebra GK 3295 another 1930s Lagonda, a 2 Litre Speed Model Low Chassis, in Don't Look Behind You XT 2276 a 1924 Blue Vauxhall 30-98 in The Gravediggers, The Thirteenth Hole VX 897 Olive Green Land Rover SWB Soft Top in A Sense of History, Never, Never Say Die OPC 104D Olive Green Land Rover SWB Soft Top in The Hidden Tiger LPH 800D Maroon AC 428 Convertible in Invasion of the Earthmen NOTE: Very rare (19 or 29 were built, depending on the information source) with coachbuilt body by Frua of Italy. Meant to be Steed's car for the Thorson season, driven by him only in this episode, then given to Tara. Not an "AC Cobra" as is often cited.

So Steed actually drove Bentleys in only roughly half of the episodes. Sorry. I'm a total Avengers junkie.
