  1. I have been trying to strip a body that was done with Tamiya spray, & nothing has worked yet, I was told about the 91 percent alcohol, but can't find it.. I was told by a pharmacist to try denatured alcohol, has any one tried this, I know it will take off just about anything, but haven't tried it on plastic, I kinda would like to still have a body left after getting the paint of ya know. LOL Thanks for the replies, Del. What I need to know is where do you find this stuff?
  2. Your reply to this "question?", reminds me of a somewhat similar situation, when my wife & I were first married I was quite proud when I heard her refer to me as a "model Husband" until I looked up the definition of "Model" it was, "model: a small cheap copy of the real thing". Oh by the way I voted model.
  3. Top row would be 1,8,4,3, second row 6,5,7,2, looking from the front of the mag, reading left to right. Nice job so far.
  4. Model, jus' cuz' ti looks the part
  5. Been there done that! Still have a nasty scar in the left thumb area of my palm, did you know that an 11 blade is long enough to go in the bottom of your hand and come out the top? I guess it's all bout the force behind the cut that counts. By the way, you got off easy, in '77 when I did mine it was $1,000 just for the emergency room, the micro surgeon to redo the severed nerves was 2k & the surgery room went upwards of 5k. Thank God for the wifes good insurance that covered 100 percent of any accidental injury. If only we could still get that kind of coverage.
  6. From what I can see/understand, this kit represents the Black Widow as it was SHIPPED, not as it was after it was prepped by separate customers such as SEDCO, I may be wrong in this but we all know what happens when we ass-u-me something.
  7. look at the thread on the new Lindberg '61 Impalas, it will explain any questions about the Cutlass release, it IS alive & well, THANK YOU Anthony Rios.
  8. I just have to say model this time, something about that windscreen's thickness.
  9. Must have had a real bright scale redneck, to shoot at the gas filler.
  10. My daughter is into "Breyer" horses, & I have picked up three of these kits over the years, & only have one that has been started. I could be off, but I don't think that this kit is 1/20th scale, as in 1/25th scale they would stand much taller than a 1/25th scale auto, a Clydesdale horse is about 6 ft. tall at the shoulders, & weighs upward of 1200 lbs.
  11. From the point of view that I have, it appears that the chassis used is from the AMT "Wagon Rod" release, it used a HIGHLY modified '39 Chevy Sedan Delivery body, with contemporary chassis mods.
  12. So, what you are saying is that we were all right, since this is a FULL SIZE MODEL of the real thing. (well I thought it made sense to me)
  13. You can just send that '32 @ the P.O. to me, that will solve the problem very quickly!
  14. Like he said! (will be 36 years in November, all to the same woman)
  15. I know that another user posted 1/6th scale, but the ad shows that the box has 1/4 scale on it.
  16. The Torque Thrust "T's" from Pegasus Hobbies will make the proper style wheel, & they already have the lower profile tires, or you can use their wheels with the kit tires, that is what I did with the '06, & painted the centers gunmetal to look like the optional wheels that Ford offered.
  17. I jus' don't know for sure, but something just says, make that screams, MODEL!
  18. Model, I was looking real close to see if "it" was looking real close,,,, you know the way it goes, definitely a model.
  19. Remember that if you go with the 327, to use the hood from the El Camino, it isn't an SS hood.
  20. The only difference is that the interior (bottom of the hood, & trunk lid) are not clear coated from the factory.
  21. EXCELLENT!, I really like the way this turned out, now do one of the AMPED car to go on the other side of the shelf.
  22. Nice lookin' Chevy, not to nit pik, but your carb is on backwards, the choke horn gos in the front.
  23. I'm gonna' vote real, I think Harry is trying to fool us with the "look close" thing.
  24. I'm gonna go with the majority at this time, & say real, jus' 'cause.
