Would like to have one...kinda surprised nobody does a resin kit in 1/24 or 1/25.

Another one just fer fun, 1/32 scale Monogram series II Cooper Cobra finished with Tamiya paints and misc. decals. The body wuz from Professor Motor and the chassis is an MRC. Slot it deep guide with NSR low Friction braids added.

Just fer fun, 1/32 scale MRC Cheetah refinished with Tamiya paints and Patto decals. Slot it deep guide w/NSR low Friction braids and wider silicone rear tires.

I like it!

Revell '32 Highboy Roadster, built outta the box. All "chrome" except the air cleaner and grille is Alclad.

...#86 just showed up at my door.

Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland has an excellent selection of very high quality resin flathead goodies including a beautifully detailed S.C.O.T. blower setup.

Well I have. I'm always tryin to find ways to further idiot-proof my workspace so while playin website roulette on the internet I found these goodies on a website called "Jeff Did It" (also on Amazon and Esty with the same seller name). I'm pretty impressed, the stuff is 3d printed in various colors with rubber feet on the bottom. They have holders fer all kinds of hobby type bottles.

Cady decals were much easier to work with.

Yes,...purple LEDs exist. I believe they are commonly used as grow type lights as they are ultraviolet kinda like a blacklight.

I believe that the Model Car Garage Anglia/Thames photo-etch set #2029 has the type of hinges that yer lookin for.

Yup, Fugimi did get the wheels wrong, but I can live with it.

A couple more...

MCW has on their website a section called "Downloads and order form", in the page you will find detailed info on using MCW products. I have on several occasions called MCW to ask specific questions and they have always been very helpful.

MCW "enamels" are automotive paints, synthetic I believe...they are not Testors type hobby paints. Mineral spirts or similar enamel thinners will not work to reduce the paint for airbrushing. I have used lacquer thinner to reduce the paint and had no problems. Mr Color thinners should also work well. Keep in mind that using lacquer thinner will "heat up" the paint and could possibly attack the plastic without a good primer/sealer first applied to the model. MCW also has their own reducer.

Thank you Robert...

Another one...

If yer a DIY type you could build a pretty nifty paint booth that does not require outside venting. In Scale Auto Enthusiast magazine, issue number 135, January 2001 on page 22, Pat Coverts Tips & Tech column detailed building a self contained paint booth. The fish tank type filtering system is pretty clever Fer what it's worth... Administrator....I don't know about copy right laws but I don't think posting the article here is a violation of some law, if I'm mistaken please delete.

Fuel injection is all good and well...progress I suppose, nuthin wrong with that. But I fondly remember the sound that my '70 Super Bee would make when the front and rear carbs would kick in...divine music.

Built some years ago from a Monogram Boss 429 kit, adapted a Nascar Ford small block and the Shaker scoop from the Revell Mach I with Cady decals. Cut off the molded in wipers and added separate door handles and moved the battery back under the hood.
