Welcome aboard, David.

I found they were getting hard to find, too. Then a few years ago I stopped at a yard sale where a woman had bundles of 20 old wire hangers for $1 each. I bought all three bundles. Incredibly useful around the garage and shop.

Nice work, Michelle. Good looking Road Runner.

Very good looking Mustang. Nice tidy work. The colour looks great on the Mustang.

The coolest of the Beaumonts. Very nice work so far. The conversion to post coupe looks first rate.

Welcome to the forum, Brian. Some very nice models there. Good to have you aboard.

That's a great picture. The pensive look on his face suggests a man who wishes he had read his horoscope that morning.

Very cool! Wicked machine. But, I don't think this what the good folks at Crosley Motors had in mind when they released this little car to the market. 😉

Oh, fun! I love me some bug eye. This looks like a great project. Does your wife let you drive hers?

Very impressive stuff, Charlie. Everything is looking fantastic.

Nice work, John. That is one cool GTO. Looks mean and ready for the street.

Nice work, Brian. That's about the coolest Talladega build I've seen. The Boss is a natural.

Stellar!!

The Kobalt compressor will work fine. Get a quality regulator designed to work at pressures for airbrushing. And yes, there is a Badger to 1/4 npt adaptor available. Any shop that sells Badger should have it, or any online airbrush dealer.

Nice tidy work. It's going to be cool.

Bill, have you given any more thought on FWD vs RWD? My 2 cents? This thing has just got to be FWD. A hot rodded Cord with FWD will have serious cool factor, anti cookie-cutter, and would be a fun project to engineer and build. And of course, being a Cord, it just seems right. I also thought your early comment about a quick change poking out the front was right on the money. That would look wicked. Of course, it's easy for me to spend your time. 😉

Hudson Terraplane 1934 1936 1938

Very cool! I like.

How hard were they to remove, Bob? Did they peel or flake off easily, or were they well stuck?

Cheers Bill. The best part is the prices. In Canadian dollars, the Aoshima kits were $21 and most of the Hasegawa kits were $28. The most expensive kit of the lot is under $35. Spreading the shipping costs over the entire order comes to about $8 per unit, and customs & duty fees are another $3.60 per unit. Anyone who knows what this stuff costs in a Canadian LHS can see that these are pretty good prices, some of them roughly half of local costs.

To be honest, I don't know. I was contacted because I had indicated interest in the thread that I linked in my last post. You have a PM.

I got it from Missing Link. It's a recent drop. This thread has some info

So, here's what happened... I was attending an 8 hour online trade conference for work. My mind soon drifted towards model cars (as it is apt to do), so I opened up a second tab and cruised over to HobbyLink Japan to check availability of a kit. Slipping into the rabbit hole of HJL's catalogue, I cruised 400 of the 572 pages that pop up when you search "1/24 scale cars", looking for bargains. At the end of the 8 hr conference I checked my shopping cart, to find it overflowing with 27 kits. Sanity (somewhat) prevailed, some got tossed back, and I hit 'ENTER'. This is what arrived my door today. And, the '72 Montego from Missing Link arrived just the day before.

Good looking Shelby.

My reply would be the same as Dave's, pretty much to the word.
