    The 1/25 MPC Indy turbine car has a nice engine & it is not too big. That kit has been reissued a number of times in the last twenty years. Not hard to find for under $25.

    Good luck, I have received I think four issues in the last two years.

    Yep, what he said, WAY back 1970s maybe Monogram purchased many of the Aurora tools after they went out of business. Did they get them all ? Were these included ? Questions I have wondered about for 30 years, I know I would love to see them again as originals are regularly selling for $70-$120 a piece. We can only hope & maybe contact Atlantis & express our wishes.

    The original NNL was specifically a NON contest & it has continued for almost 40 years by sticking to that format. You want judges go to a contest you want a much more casual atmosphere go to a NNL event. While I am at it any show calling itself a NNL that has judging is NOT a NNL.

    To my knowledge just about every model car event in the country is a totally seperate independent event. Each organized and run by different unrelated groups. What happens to one has no affect on any other.

    Check MCW, he offers OEM colors and at least at one time offered spray cans. Not sure if he still does or not.
  17. jas1957
    Good luck, in the last 3 or 4 years we have received about two or three issues a year.

    First off every Michael’s I have been in has a very poor model section, forget them. Second, only 20 miles to a Hobbytown ? Consider yourself lucky. The three nearest full service hobby shops to me are 35, 39 and 53 miles away. Get used to it as that is the new reality, 20 years ago I had 6 shops within 10 miles of me. Didn’t realize how good I had it.

    The artwork for this one at least still exists.. I have one that is exactly like this out of a recent issue of the Model T.. Do not ask which one as I pulled it out & diplayed it on my shelf..

    Good product and service, buy with confidence.

    Steve is a good guy to deal with, if you have any questions contact him. He has always answered mine in a timely fashion. His products are good quality, he also has an ever decreasing supply of R&R. Quality there can be spotty.

    Polyurethane is what resin model parts are made from.

    Good luck, I live in an urban/suburban county of 1.2 million people. There is exactly one hobby shop in this county & it is on life support. To my knowlage there are three other shops within 50 miles of my home. One of those looks like it will be closing soon. Between less & less people being involved in hobbies & internet sellers it is a VERY tough business to be in. 20 years ago I had six shops within 10 miles of me, didn't appreciate how good I had it.

    Star models offers some '55 Fords, check with him if he will sell you just what you want.
