They look great all in one place! Camaros and a ‘32 for me, please.
Revell decals have been very nice lately. -

Wrong: There is support, just use the form via link
Revell warranty request – Revell GmbH (revell-service.de)
You can even upload photo's to show them the defect, so that they can have feedback send to the production facility.
Agreed. I used it for parts replacement within the last year and was told 6-7 weeks for delivery. I had it here in NY in two weeks. Great service.

This new box art is stellar! Like others have said, too bad it doesn’t reflect the actual box contents. Cool paint scheme though!
I wish Revell would convert their American Graffiti diecast ‘55 sedan to styrene, like they did with the Bullitt Mustang/‘68 GT. I’m working on making a ‘55 into a gasser now and the kit is nice! Very well-proportioned too.-

Bit disappointing they are doing Chase's car in blueI have the roll out kits on pre order since those were suppose to come out first, I just ordered one of Chase's direct from them , I will of course be doing the WITB video .
Not only blue, but Kyle Larson blue. 🤪

click on the new additions button at Mike's Decals (mikesdecals.com) and scroll down. He is adding more every few days. Mostly bodies so far but good to hear he will also be doing parts.
And even if it shows as 0 in stock, click into the item-specific page and it says contact Mike if you are interested and he will get more.

Okaaaay. Seems like much ado…
And what will this cost? A set of headers on Shapeways is over $12!

Hoping someone announces a 1/24 or 1/20 2022 F1 car. The cars are beautiful this year!

Oooh, this looks pretty nice! Thank you for posting.
But I’m no expert. @leafsprings, what say you?

I'm excited for the Mod Rod A Kart, whichever version it is, but this REALLY got my interest:
I never even saw this kit before, but I want one!
That’s the Grant King Sprint Car with different body panels.

Have they hit all the model years with this kit?
Yes, with this ‘68 (their first), they’ve covered all model years in this generation - ‘67 to ‘72.

“14 years later…” LOL
Thanks for the heads-up, Craig. How time flies. Yes, I’m still here and the pickup is still sitting pretty under glass. Thanks for the comments, guys. I really enjoyed this build. I think I used AMT ‘49 Ford chromed steelies and Modelhaus tires.
Neat old Lindberg kit… -

Thanks Matt,
I will try my best to outline my "process". A lot of it is trial and error.
Dremel any holes I want before primer.
Primer and paint (keeping to only 1 or 2 coats of body color in areas I am going to distress.
lightly sand through paint to show primer.
Rust colored paint painted on then dabbed or dry brushed around that to fade it out.
For highly textured areas, I take some weathering pastels, run them over sandpaper and sprinkle some of that (as close to the color I want) onto the wet paint. It forms a kind of lumpy mush.
Once that is dried I will black wash then rust color wash the area.
Then using lighter rust toned paint, dry brush a highlighted area and blend.
Then if I think it needs a little more or some all over rusty tint, I will dry brush pastels across a bigger area.
For non rusty but weathered or oxidized areas, I will dry brush some light grey or white pastels onto the body after I have done a black wash (or light brown or even green) and it has dried.
I will also paint chrome parts flat aluminum or simply spray them with a dull flat coat to make them look more tarnished and worn.
I hope this helps and sorry I didn't take pictures along the way. I will try to create something more tutorial-ish next time I weather a model.
Feel free to reach out directly if you have any questions.
Thank you! Very big help. Thanks for taking the time to thoroughly explain. I’ll get started on mine and PM you if needed.
