Yes girls, you're both pretty ? For the rest of us:

Uh-oh. Just got ad for a funeral home. Guess if the masks are out of stock as is TP, you're gonna die

There are people that didn't have $200+ orders filled, and they ordered again??? Or waited 6 months? Or sent a $400 cashiers check?? Ummm, why? Sounds like mail fraud, Postal inspector time. Local cops too.

Wonder what happened to the trailer the Jeep used to have? Single axle, issued once in Korean war guise? I have one and forget.

They had posts because the long wheelbase and uneven terrain would sometimes wedge the doors closed. Happened on LBJ's ranch with his convertible, few other places. Sedans had more weight above, so more likely, despite no roof making it worse. Assume testing showed that, at least people can escape from a convertible. Great cars though.

Some resins eg FPP, Fisher (hope Paul and Suzie getting lives back together btw) have engines, one can go nuts, but get it built. And they look great, often for far less than a Hiro, that requires, umm, say, Herculean effort? I'd rather have a sort of simplified kit, than no kit at all. Not an excuse, and not endorsing snaps that could be so much more since scaling and some tooling done. If no motor, aftermarket has tons of choices. I've had kits that had motors that I left out. Gett'er done. I'm pretty sure the 959 was based on the showcar, which differed quite a bit from production. Tamiya isn't infallible, but stuff gets out in timely fashion. And is remarkably good. Even for the average builder. We all have are likes, and I like engines. But modern cars (not race cars) have shielding, so what is point? We really need a like button.

The interior tub is different too. Neither kit handy for photo comparison, but package shelf different. Rest is pretty much identical save for that and obviously glass. I bought a mint 65 HT body to bash with readily available CVT, and used my mib HT as guide. Some saw work involved, not quite complete.

Chuck, that's one amen per Zoom. Seems myopic that hugely popular car like Mustang didn't advance from snap. Same with 2 iterations of Raptor/F150. They sell 2-3 Ford trucks per minute, 24/7/365, so I'd think someone would like a replica. Hellcat, Trackhawk, new Bronco, all popular. Someone had said Vette kits dead, OK, do promo style kit, but get it out there. Hard to get anyone under 30 to think Pintos, Vegas, and Pacers are fun builds.

I just put this in Google box. No need for .com or anything. modelcarsmag scale indian motorcycle scraps

They did a gorgeous 65 Wildcat convertible promo too. Scarce. Light metallic blue on ones I’ve seen I’ve got a great metallic turquoise blue 65 ht promo, but most are tan

I love that box art. Sold me a kit

Hey Casey- The seat locator tabs are in front in the maroon early interior, and in back of seat in the TA/later one. Rear seatback alone looks like lots of revision. Unnotices change and original interior exists? Seats too? Anything on bottom of tub?

They're fun kits, it just takes patience. Fiddly just means needs attention. I really hate opening doors, and they're rarely easy. Finicky is hard to build I guess. The 29 isn't. Closed cab nice too. I'll have to throw the Halibrands off the 31 onto a 29. 28 Tudor MPC fun kit too. Long gone sadly.

I never tried a bash of a 31 with the 29. Works?

Oops. Guess that's not 8-10y ago anymore. Old is bad

Fun stuff. https://public.fotki.com/funman1712/tim-boyds-124th--12/boyd-street-rods-ra/

Different tools. The Monogram '29 with stakes evolved from the Blue Beetle, which was recently resurrected as the Blue Bandito. Had a Caddy initially. Fun kit. No closed cab. Revell 29 is a closed cab or roadster pickup with opening doors, a 4. Another fun kit, albeit fiddly at times. It is 1/25, the Monogram is 1/24. Tons of iterations of the Revell too, but pretty close to original. Track nose added in last 8-10y I guess. Decent speed stuff. The AMT/MPC 29 RPU was a dual kit with the woody, It still has been, but I don't think it's been out in awhile. Tim Boyd as always has some great builds of several of each, mostly the Revell and AMT IIRC.

Quoted for truth. ? Again, quoted for truth. First impressions make or break it. Kids won't beat head againt a wall twice.

Sounds like every modeler in a new kit thread I have 2 grails left. Merit Campbell K7 And Gladen Taylor Aerocar

Here's the tab for the top. Seems some list it as 1/32 despite clearly 1/25 on box. May help with mislisted hunt.

LifeGAURD. That anything like a LifeGUARD? I know nobody spell checks news articles. But DECALS?? And no customer service to request fixed decals. SMH

Thread is almost 11yo, so nearly fit for a newborn ? Great kits those 32's

IIRC the Cutlass didn't have molded in front seats, but console was molded in. I don't see front buckets on the trees. My HT and convert aren't handy at the moment, I'd guess they had to redo them too. Promo likely long gone, hard to even find original Cutlass ht promo for 64. I've never seen a promo convertible in person.

There is a plastic top in 64 AMT convertible that is really close. Clear top not very close.

Considering what the small non-scaled seemingly 1/32 scale Legos are going for, and getting purchased, I'm astounded kits get passed by. The really nice snap Viper, Diablo, etc. RM did decades ago looked awesome, and weren't really too bad to assemble. Make the snap posts a bit "looser" and I think molded in colors and slightly more simplified would still work. The Legos look awful. Even the $300 GT3 RS and Chiron look like toys, and they're a LOT of work. The small ones make Palmers look like bastions of fidelity. The Mini Cooper doesn't even look right.
