I am.guessing that a large part of the market are still people buying them for children..of whom, most dont add detail like spark wires and problem dont know a cylinder or how many of them are in a Hemi.
Thanks 1930fordpuckup. Yeah..theres a black plastic o-ring on one end of the piston and a yellow one at the other and they look dry and cracked. Yeah I searched the cambell parts database for "piston" and got 2 pages of parts including piston ring kits..but still no idea what kit is meant for my model BUT..I found a few places that service cambells in my town so it should be a piece of pie to bring in the piston and have them change the o-rings.
I thought of that. But the problem is not that air isnt getting from the tank to the airbrush. The problem is that the pump is not putting any air INTO the tank. I am pretty sure the piston is the problem but I cant find a place to buy a replacement.
Was just wondering if anybody else has had this problem. I opened it up. Tightened any fittings that could leak air. Theres only three. Took the pump part appart and the piston seems a little loose in its bore. I brought it into the house in hopes that condensation has frozen solid in the neck. Anybody have any ideas?
Seats look confortable but don't suit a vintage car. But thats just the opinion of a person who can't wait for "pro touring" to die. Everything else is pretty badass.
I bought a box of partially built models car years ago and this one was in it. I just took a look into a few years back to see if there was anything I could use fir future projects and I couldn't see anything. There was something funky going on with the taillight bezels. The engine is basic. The bucket seats and console are all one piece. If you can get one cheap enough..buy it, build it. This might have been state of art in 1969, but dated now.
Goto a hobby shop and pick a "model' you like, not a company. Then ask advice about that kit. The companys are always re-releasing garbage from the past mixed with the current stuff. Seems the japanese companies are the most consistent with quality ..but you have to enjoy japanese subject matter.
Idid not know a console was available in a sedan. As for the hubcaps. Its a simple shape. Assentially a cone shape with the tip bevelled off and nine holes around the perimeter. I would take a piece a piece if styrene..say a 1/8 inch thick, cut it round to the size you need and bevel the edges to make that cone shape. Then drill the little holes around.
You guys want a accurate replica? Ask revell to make it 14 or so feet longer, about 3,000 pounds heavier, and make it out of real metal. And while you at it, ask for a real working motor feature. As for me I like it just the way it is.
