That's cool, thanks for getting back Bill! I'll pick some up and try it and post results - sounds promising though! Thanks buddy!

Top tip, btw - I've been using Duane Reede (Walgreens) isopropyl alcohol to clean my airbrush after using this stuff - works great at $4 for a big bottle.

I heard from someone else that the Spaz Stix worked well too...glad to hear that Future doesnt work, that's a good tip - I was going to try that next! Thanks Bob! PS: nice Miata!

This is a real "urgh, I wish I'd thought of that!" kinda build...I've been thinking for a few weeks about how I could build one of these in a way that noone's done before, and this is the BEST idea that I never came up with. Outstanding work!

The Liquitex tip is a good one, thank you Bill! Which Liquitex? This one?

I, too, would like to see some pics

OH good, Mr Positive's back to tell everyone how much better he could run a model manufacturer than the actual companies manage themselves

Oh wow, I've never seen one of these in the plastic! Amazing! Thanks for sharing, Alan!

Ahh, my mistake - I recognised it from an old thread I saw the other day on there and couldn't remember if it was one of their contests or not

What a STUNNING collection of builds! Was the Willys a build for the Coffin Corner site David?

Some really interesting info in this thread! It's a timely one too - the Red Baron is 50 years old this year! Tom Daniel is selling special new prints of the car on his website, and I'm just gathering parts to do a special anniversary build of one myself David, yours looks GREAT! What a cool idea to swap the nose out! Is there a build thread for this somewhere? LOVE it!

On a related note, the box are on those Dirt Track editions of the AMT kit are so misleading they ought to be illegal Those bumpers? Nope. Those side rails? Nope. Those wheels? Nope. That roll cage? Nope. Those front tires? Nope. Those back tires? Nope. That body with the dirt-track-style larger driver's window? Nope. Apart from that, it's just like the box!

They're entertaining, sometimes informative, sometimes factually accurate and they talk about model cars. They're a win in my book! ??

Your replies make me chuckle so much, Ace ?

No, thank YOU for a most entertaining thread

Where do I sign? ?

I have a real soft spot for these AMT Deuces - now I need to go pick one up!

Thank you! I couldn't make it post like a regular picture. Sorry it's not a roadster, Mr Regular, my bad

Hey, if you guys don't want the show rod parts, send them here and I'll throw them in the trash for you! ?‍♂?

Nice building Guy! Looks great so far - the detail and weathering on that engine bay is GREAT! Where did you get the decals for the battery?

I like the first one! https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=FENDERLESS+40+FORD&num=20&client=firefox-b&dcr=1&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=_srOD19Tr_3BaM%3A%2CuoQQyhjuTJ3_PM%2C_&usg=__paeiONYbfy1oGHyw8wHbFz4vw1M%3D&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj7kd-moJnaAhUMfMAKHaqiCQEQ9QEIKzAA#imgrc=_srOD19Tr_3BaM:

Thanks everyone!! This was a fun build!

What a wonderful build - I've said it before and I'll say it again...one of my FAVORITE builders. A real master!

A nearly-box stock (but detailed up a bit) build of the AMT Superbug kit that I did for a showrod contest on another site...this was a fun build! Build thread for anyone interested Thanks for looking!!

Got a bunch of little details done on this and got it wrapped up this week. Firstly I got the kit steering wheel: ...and gave it a little detail painting to spruce it up a bit: Added red lenses to the rear taillights with a little Tamiya clear red: Got the front axle and trailing arms in place: Shot some Molotow Chrome on the pedals and got them in place: Scuffed those nice pad printed tires up a little to take the sheen off them Building tip for anyone building one of these...those pins on the front axle to mount the wheels are a touch bigger than the hole on the wheels: Opening them out a touch with an appropriate sized bit will save you having to jam them on there and break something The rears, meanwhile, have too big of a hole in the wheels to mount them nicely on the kit supplied metal axle: I drilled mine out a touch and added a styrene rod sleeve to the axle to make them fit properly: Got the rest of the interior bits mounted: And with that, it's pretty close to being done! Finished pics soon! Soon as I can figure out how to make the cardboard diorama that comes with the kit anyway... Thanks for looking!
