Glad things are working out for you and your son and cat.

I would like to know what the groups thoughts are of having a For Sale section on the site. I know that Gregg had a version of a kits for sale page that didn't pan out, and was taken down. I'd like to sell my kits to people on this site who will build or add them to their collection, instead of putting them on ebay and seeing them show up on sale again a month later at an inflated price. I know it will be up to Gregg as it is his site, so I'm just putting this out there.

My local Hobby shop Wheels & Wings in Toronto does Mail order. You can find them at www.wheelsandwingshobbies.com

Ordered from them once 5 years ago. Took 14 months to get my order. Once bitten twice shy.

Where does one find this ?

All the tanks look to be old Aurora kits which I built as a kid.

Great job so far Ismael. Like your last C6R build I'll be watching.

Hi Phil. Shoot me a PM. I might be able to help you out.

Yes. I buy more then I build. At the last count, I had just over 2000 kits. I retired in 2018. And I thought that I'd have a lot more time for building, but that didn't happen. Between doing things around the house, the grand kids and going to car shows with my 1955 Oldsmobile I haven't found the time to build. I didn't buy any new kits since the summer and don't see myself buying any more until the Revell Le Mans Ford GT comes out. But lately I've been thinking of reducing my stash to a more managable number. Since my wife and I retired we have been down sizeing our home and getting rid of the clutter, not that the kits are clutter, it's just my kids are not interested in my hobby. So I've been thinking of selling alot of my stuff so my wife isn't stuck figering out how to get rid of them when I'm gone.

Those are the only two 60's era kits that Tamiya 1/20th. If you want other 60's F1 cars in that scale, you will need to look to Ebbro for the Lotus 49 & 49b or HFM for others.

I got a reply from Fred Sterns about an hour or so ago. He said that he will be posting updated lists in a few days. He also said that his site was down to do improvments to it. This is good news for any one looking for kits.

USPS should cut you some slack on this. I hope it works out for you.

I've been wondering the same thing. I've sent him an email and just waiting for a reply from him.

My 2 cents on this. Scott. MEK is a known cancer causing chemical, and is very dangerous stuff to handle. I worked in the printing field for over 35 years and we used MEK as a cleaning solvent. When we used it we had to have on, Rubber gloves, a resporator and safety glasses. MEK was banned for use in our industry in 1998, because of a number of people were getting sick from exposure to MEK and other chemicals with high levels of VOC's ( Volitile Organic Compounds ). If you want to play around with this stuff, it's your choice to do so. It's your health. If it was me, I'd stear clear of this stuff.

Your " Loud-Hailer " is for a Police version of the 356. German Police used these on the Auto-Bahn. I'm surprisied that the decal sheet doesn't come with the Polizei ( Police in Greman ) script or the police licence plates.

You can alway's remove it and replace it with a PE wiper.

I'll agree with you on the wheel arches. But the cuda roof line is more rounded and sexy looking.

Naw, naw... It's just resting.

You can use Epoxy Glue but don't use the quick setting 5 min. kind . Use the slower setting regular epoxy. Since I think that this is the first time your using Photo etch parts, stay away from Super Glue as it sets up too quickly if you need to re-adjust the piece on the body.

Found it fairly quickly.

My first order with him was a good experiance. The second order, not so much. Took almost 2 years and envolment of our Harry to get my order.

Surprised this thread hasn't been locked yet.

Was just notified that the Ajax Model car show has been canceled and will not be back. I was looking forward to this show at the end of October.
