Mk IV and J would be nice too but I'll live with the MPCs. 50 year anniversary for the Mk II next year, '17 for Mk IV. Nice new GT wouldn't hurt with race version. Hmmm if only someone had relationship with Ford.

Cool. Awful box art but body looks pretty good. Series 1 Accords were nice cars as were the pop up headlight series. Prelude bash should work great. Long trip for a project but great story.

Willment Ghia

I bought an HRM from Brad, one of the first. Immediately sold the Gunze's I had (but 1), and the KB/Lindberg. It's that good. As is everything Brad does, and Norm too. The Lindberg was a nice try, but their 1/25 906 in the same series is great. Bashed mine with a few Fujimi 911 bits and GT40 rubber, and it's great. I'll look for a link, but all cars vary some. Similar to Grand Sport Vettes. Nice pile Ray. You of all people need an HRM. Geez, forgot I had a ME Super Coupe. Willment and AC. AC is gorgeous. The Fiat 8V body on it was cool too. Would like just a plain old AC428 coup/roadster conversion for the Mono 427 too.

73 issue, Tiny Lund maybe? Someone will correct me/crush me. Really wish it was 70-73 Trans-Am. Saw McQ the other day and his Green 455. RIP John Wayne.

Great looking F150 I like that series as much as the 61-66's, Great trucks, towed race cars with one and a similar Bronco. Cool.

Critics buy the kits, everyone I've seen posts the subject is welcome. New tools are awesome, but Getting the kit to look like it should,,, doesn't always happen (That's a quote from another thread). Glad kits sell. People here scream you can't build it stock (48 Ford, 49 Merc coupe/woody). Never have seen a stock conversion or bash to stock posted. I bought both, won't be stock, bashing the 48 with the convert and the woody Fords, so that's 4 '48 Fords and 2 Mercs I've bought. 6 kits. On a car I never commented on other than to say cool. Del Rio? I posted a ton of pics of awesome 1:1, but muttered about the bumper guards that would dent tailgate, were wrong. Sledsel posted a ton of pics about stuff, has real 1:1 '57s, and was told "just don't see the problem?" I challenged Geiger to see what bumper guard fix would be. Never heard another word. What was fix? Remove bumperguards. I've never seen a Del Rio without bumperguards, It. Looks. Wrong. Could have retooled bumper with no guards and added small plate lights separately? Nope. If that's the response to loyal customers' legitimate issue, amongst others, and to stop posting on a message board (they left their sycophants behind too you know), it's pathetic. I've got enough kits to last me centuries, but I still buy, and not just with friggin' coupons and whining about prices. If you want to defend the manufacturers so much, go out and pay retail, or 10% back. Wait, no, too late, all the hobby shops are dead. Guess you guys didn't buy enough and drove them out of business, if I follow that logic. Not. Getting the kit to look like it should,,, PS, Congrats your master was chosen. Your interests cross with mine that I can tell, so hope it's something I need. Can you give me a coupon?

Stock it'll be nice. Has separate tires from wheels, so better than other T's. Probably can use stock bits from AMT '27 touring car too for later build. I agree, body is best part, commercial tall C-cab front can be cut into boom truck, all kinds of stuff. There's a builder here, whose name I forget, that does the most awesome T stock buildups. He's used the kit for a few builds. Posts a lot, so should be searchable. Roof is fiddliest part of body, build sides and floor, square up, then mess with roof fit and windshield/cowl. The top of windshield frame doesn't fit front of roof, notches are pretty useless. One of those "real modeler moments" you hear about here . Other than that it's pretty straightforward. Art Anderson knows a ton too, guess because he bought a T new (gotta pick on Art)

Old tool, was stock only in past issues. However, lots of parts from other T kits work fine to rod it. The Revell 26 T tub/sedan chassis and fenders slides under with minimal effort, I've got a couple in progress. If you rod it, I'd build/bash a better cowl/firewall area. Body panels best if you rig them squarely when glueing. 40+yo tool doesn't have really positive location. It's a cool bodystyle. I've got a few. PS welcome to the board.

Kool. I was glad to see a couple Manx parts in there. I needed a hood, dash, and windshield frame for a builder, all inside. Red plastic for me though.

Yes, you too can join the team at (name here) models!! Send your applications now. Fill them out, or most of them anyway, and the job is yours! Word Perfect and Windows Millenium skills preferred, as is a working knowledge of Chinese food and Microsoft Paint. If you own a car, or have seen one, you're good to go.

Toss in a Scott, Potvin, and a Latham and I'll forget all about it. Just sayin'

WOOT

Chassis 1075 won both 68 and 69 LM24's. No other chassis has done so. Mirages are GT40's, too much essential componentry the same, or derivative. Mk. II and IV farther from original in many ways than the Mirage. Gulf-Wyer didn't change heritage. Agree, amazing chassis. Fujimi kits the 68 and 69 iterations of 1075, nicely.

Some people have zero clue how much work, integrity, and kindness come from Don and Carol. You cannot pay for the kind of reputation they've busted tail doing for the last 20-25 years. Their recent tragic loss of their son just makes it seem so unfair. Don and Carol are awesome people, smart, hardworking in several different professional lives. Fseva, buy a few kits of theirs, and you may learn the difference between cost and value. I personally doubt you ever will, but don't denegrate the business of the Holthaus family or it's value unless you've done similarly. This business will be hard to replace, or sustain at the level of commitment of Don and Carol. No matter what, I wish them peace and happiness. The success was all their doing.

The Corvair motor decent too in Barris T-buggy. Ugly thing, but great parts. MPC also did the V-Rod, which was a Phaeton 4-seat like the Berry. The Kyote was cool too.

BTW, here's the images on the first screen for others that had same question.

Um, there were 8-10 photos of white lenses on 69 Rivieras at the link. A few 68's, smaller side marker rather than cornering light. I used the script as most of the questions you post can be partially answered with a search here, or Google, or Bing, or..... It took me longer to type the script than do the search. About 1,710,000 results (0.68 seconds) You're welcome, sorry it didn't meet your personal needs.

What should be used

Chassis looks like a chewed up stock floorpan from the street car. Tubless tubs, axle holes, interior mount tabs. Blew up the Larson pic for you, just click on it. I don't like'em, but some people do

Yes, thanks for reminding us you hate showrods, I keep forgetting. Some people like them, and if a kids sees one and starts building, rather than a 40 year old drag car he cares nothing about, guess that'd be awful. Ooooh a Vega...dreamy. Waste of plastic (metal on the 1:1) to start with, Grumpy and Larson cars only salvation.

The cutaways are by James Allington. There's a book full of them, I have it. The original Shell prints are getting scarce, but are worth it. Shell does nice videos, and has great series of various 1/43 and Lego cars usually available in Asia/Malaysia. https://www.google.com/search?q=allington+cutaway+book&espv=2&biw=1280&bih=713&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=mct0VbWdLMWisAW2p4DwCA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAjgK I just looked for pic of the allington book, and none found with couple quick searches. The above has pics of his work, some from the book. I've had the book for decades, collect his prints and Turner racing posters. His 275 GTB/4 is awesome, as is the Duesy and the 250F

Not my build, from SH builts IIRC. I've got sealed original, buying a couple more to build.

Suhweet! Got nice builder Rabbit and Scirocco off bay last year for $10. Had a couple 1600 Rabbits, autocrossed and tracked them. Great cars.
