Magnificent!

I’m glad to see one of these being built. I have one as well and been wondering how well it goes together. Yours is coming along nicely. Cheers for the tips.

Cool panel. Nice save.

Sweet looking mill, Mr Raisin. Excellent detailing. Nailed it.

I’ve bought kits for less.

That GT-40 window is a toughie. I once had a similar scenario, and I mixed up a 50/50 mix of Elmers glue and Tamiya black acrylic paint to make a black windscreen sealant. I applied it sparingly all around, set the glass in place firmly, and carefully wiped away the displaced 'sealant' with a damp cloth or tissue. It worked well. However, as seen in your reference photo, the GT-40 has no sealant or gasket at all. My first thought was as Peteski suggested. Carefully drill holes through the glass and frame and use a fine wire (I like guitar string) to hold the glass in place while representing the screws of the 1:1. This will require a small bit, maybe 1/64 or #78 or so. As mentioned above, small drill bits is no place to scrimp on money, and good ones are expensive. I buy them in packs of ten from industrial suppliers. Cheap ones are not worth having, and that's not just being pedantic. They will ruin a delicate drilling job, and this one would be a delicate drilling job. Get a good comfortable pin vise, too. Don't try melting holes through with a hot wire, etc. The hole size will be difficult to control, as will it's exact location. It will also create a bead of displaced material around the hole that will need to be removed. It would be very difficult, if not impossible, to do it neatly this way.

Well, getting them from the same kit should be doable, as any car with IRS will also have IFS. I suspect the new Revell E-Type will have a pretty sweet IRS. Having said that, It's a pretty broad request. There are many types of independent suspension styles, some suitable for specific purposes only. Some indication of the application would be helpful.

What a lovely Porsche. It looks wicked mean. Gorgeous paint. Love it.

Has anyone in Canada got their issue yet? I realise covid slows down the shipment of some things. Just wondering if these magazines are trickling across the border yet.

Thanks for the input, guys. I'll be giving them a try. With the Model Master Metalizers (which I just love) now gone, I'm looking for a good metalizer alternative.

Very cool work! I like your style. Really digging the Pontiac.

AK Interactive also has a line of metallic paints that I’m curious about, called Extreme Metal. They do a stainless steel in that line. Anyone have any insights on these paints?

Thanks Matt. A very interesting and thoughtful analysis. I’ll be interested in seeing your attempt to make corrections. What are your thoughts on the engineering bits (engine, drive train, chassis)?

Beautiful T. Great detailing and ridiculously clean. Superb craftsmanship. All round lovely build.

Very cool tow truck. Thanks for posting.

Just ordered one up. Been wanting to do a B GT for quite some time.

That's looking fantastic. Nice added details. It's starting to come alive.

Great save. A lovely build, and from such humble beginnings. The '60 Dart is my favourite Mopar from this era, thanks to a Hot Rod Magazine project car of the time. You did a great job on this one. Hhmmm... one of these may become a grail find for me. Is this a JoHan kit?

Thanks for this statement. I have seen them on Ted's Marketplace and they look great, but didn't want to lay down bucks without knowing if kit tires would fit. Cheers.

Can't go wrong with some vintage Jag. Looks very nice, Mike.

Nice looking dragster. I just loved these Revell dragsters when I was a kid.

Very cool Lotus. Nicely done.

Superb! Those carbs are stunning.

I've managed to miss this one until now. Looks like a nice kit of an awesome subject. Very nice work so far. Looking forward to watching this one come together.

Yup, what they said.
