Brass era cars do seem to be on a bit of a price upswing. But the 20s era cars haven't done that as of yet( unless it's a big classic like a 12 cylinder Packard or something similar).

That process was shown way back in the 70s in an article written by Hank Borger in Car Model Magazine. The only question I've had is if you should use cold or warm water. Which is it?

I remember the shriek of the Matra V-12 at the 1982 Detroit Grand Prix. It was a unique sound, like someone somehow tearing metal.

I'm planning to buy one this time. I missed it 40(ish) years ago.

The '71 T-bird has Bunkie Knudsen's fingerprints all over it. The changes were what he could get done quickly on the car when he came to Ford from GM.

Bangle may have kick started the uglifying trend but he's been gone from BMW for a few years.

Maybe you can cut the front pan from a Revell '60 hardtop?

The Jo-Han Cadillac and Mercedes kits are vey nice. Still positively impressive almost 50 years on.

Not to mention the strut versus A-arm front suspension; Obviously 2 different cars.

I bought the B/M Camaro and the Charger for $10 each at a toy show several years ago. I reference them as benchmarks when I build the regular kits.

Quite a while ago i started in on the the Hot Wheels Camaro. I have a magazine from that era with an article about the car and the article shows some pictures of the engine out of the car. The kit engine is VERY dissimilar to the real car's engine because the kit's engine is still mostly Ford. So back into the stash went the kit.

I believe that car was called the XP 400.

P.T. Barnum was right.

You missed it. The sale ended Saturday the 12th.

Spray some clear lacquer on the decals( NOT Tamiya). Testor Ultra Gloss is good for this.

Same thought here.

I think a better idea would be a kit with the service box and the 3 different year grilles.

From the widow of a friend of one of my fellow D.A.A.M club members I bought 19 kits. Some I had,( Galaxie 47 Chevies, Moebius '65 Satellite Golden Commando Super Stocker, and more) some I didn't( Galaxie 21 foot tag along trailer, Revell Buttera Model T touring and sedans, and '33 Ford roadster).

The body in this kit looks too short from rocker panel to belt line. Is it just me?

When( if) our show cards are printed there will be the classes listed there. And I'm sure we'll post the card on our Facebook page.

After I bought a built glue bomb I lucked into finding an unbuilt kit.

Whose real car collection is that in the background?

On line speculators are buying them, operating on the greater fool theory.

Nothing yet other than we're optimistic that it will happen sometime in late March at our usual location. Our spring model show contest is the judged contest.

For a "real life" car scale wouldn't matter.
