I have attempted to contact Greg a couple times also & have never heard back.. A guy in Canada, Gary Chevale ? forgive the spelling I know it’s wrong. Cast one also, bought it a couple years back. Not totally thrilled with it but it’s all I have.

JoHan did do some Larks, the convert pictured above is not real hard to locate. The Premier ones shown are very rare, I purchased a convert & sedan many years ago at a toy show in Columbus & have never seen ether anywhere since. MCW does produce resin 59-60 Lark’s a HT & Sedan. There have been some other resin Studebakers over the years.

Tom, right now no one has produced an Airflow in resin, Ron Cash was working on one before he got sick, but that was a long time ago. Sure wish someone would.

I find it amusing that their website still shows Model Master paints. Testors (actually Rustoleum and RPM) is a giant corporation, not some fly-by-nite company ran from someone's basement. You figure they would have someone keeping the website up to date.
Boy, that’s for sure. Very very annoying.

Bill is fine, saw him a couple months ago. He is on facebook occasionally.

The Parts Box sells a very nice resin hot rod V-12 flathead.

A few weeks ago, a friend and I went on a week long tour of my some of my favorite car museums. We first went to the Gilmore in Hickory Corner, Michigan. Then the Auburn Cord Duesenberg and Nation Car and Truck museums in Auburn, Indiana. Then it was up to South Bend, Indiana for the Studebaker. (Plus we visited Round 2. We were disappointed to see they have no store or any other accommodations for visitors. They let us in the front door, and told us they could go back into the warehouse a get what ever was needed. But that was about it.) We finished our run with a visit to the Volo car museum, north of Chicago. It’s no Gilmore or Auburn Cord Duesenburg. But, a fun place none the less.
It was our first stop at the Gilmore that I got a surprise. They had a display of Corvettes in their first gallery. And amongst those Corvettes, they had a Motorama ‘54 Corvette Nomad and Corvair. With all the rumors, especially surrounding the Nomad, I immediately questions whether I was see the real Waldorf Nomad, or a clone? We found a museum docent, and thought both the Nomad and Corvair were the real thing. But, he went to check to make sure. After checking, he came back and assured me they were the genuine cars. And not clones.
Wow! Again, after all of rumors surrounding the Nomad especially, I never thought I’d ever see the real thing. I’m very glad to see this car especially, out of hiding and on display.
And the Corvair? Not as exciting to see as the Nomad. Even though I like it better than the Nomad. It’s just seemed like the odds were always more favorable in seeing that one. Or at least one of it’s clones. Still it was cool to see both!
I was up there in May, specifically went to see these two cars. It was definitely worth the 4 1/2 hour drive each way to see them.

Someone way back did a resin of the Corvair, R&D Unique maybe ? When an unbuilt one appears it goes for serious money.

A D/Stock Ford wouldn't have that hood teardrop.
Exactly, looks like S/SS class on the rear roof pillar.

The only flathead Pontiac straight eight was a resin one from Kitchen Tables Resins. He closed his business a couple years ago. The many time reissued AMT 1941 Plymouth has a flat six. I have modified this engine to be a reasonable copy of both a Studebaker flat six and a Ford flat six. Going farther back the Monogram 1930’s Packards have flathead straight eight engines. Another person answered the Replicas & Miniatures has a Pontiac straight eight. Not really, first it is an overhead valve engine and while it is supposed to represent a Buick straight eight, it is not real accurate. But it is still a nice looking motor. Your best and cheapest route would probably get a couple of the ‘41 Plymouth’s and do some cutting on the flat six to create a flat eight.

I & everyone else thought John Carlisle was retiring & shutting down this business. Wonder what changed.

I don’t know about using lacquer thinner as glue but MEK works very well.

Thinking about building the Falcon Ranchero kit again and going to put in a more authentic engine,I thought I read a resin six was made but if I want to go with a V8 I would like to go with one that could be made to look like a 62 221 or a 63 260 so what kit had the best early smallblock.
The 221,260,289,302 & 351 W were all externally the same basic engine. Different bores & stroke to give the different displacement.

Check American Industrial Truck Models, he specializes in just resin truck bodies and parts.

The Rustoleum primer is probably enamel & the color coat is likely a lacquer or urethane. You should never shoot anything but enamel over enamel. Find a primer from the same manufacturer as the paint.

A crime to pull parts out of a kit to use on another build ? If so I’m going to jail forever, I saw cut them up, swap parts, age or value who cares ! This hobby is about building not saving boxes full of plastic.

No need to clear over BMF, I have builds from 20-30+ years ago with BMF & they look as good today as when it was first applied.

Howard, the only thing I am aware of is a ‘55-‘56 Bentley by Air Trax. Not sure if it is a complete kit or a trans kit for the Hubley Rolls.

I don’t know anything about cold cast iron powder but that is the now deceased Revell ‘30 coupe from 3-4 years back.

Very sad news, he was a great guy & a fantastic modeler.

I believe they are 1/25, designed to be used with the Revell ‘90 coupe kit.
