Jigsaw Planet has that option in the piece option. I've been a user of this for a long time and now my time will increase there exponentially now that I found this.

I'd experiment with a drop or two of Dawn dish soap and go from there.

KB is coming back.

I had a few different cars that were rock solid. My HHR panels (I had two) were pretty stone reliable. I had a 1983 Mercury Marquis Brougham wagon that was pretty good until it got so old I could not find parts for the old V6 in it, hence the HHRs. Many years back in the 70s I had a 1969 Buick Special V8 that took me to California from Wisconsin. I paid $50 for the car and it lasted a long time in Cali. An older lady I knew borrowed it to travel to LA and she loved it so much with it's power and thick padded wheel (she had a disease that caused her fingers to curl tight against her palms) , I just gave the car to her. After she passed, her son made a low rider with it and it's still around last I heard. Now I have a GMC Terrain. Except for some check engine light troubles, it's been pretty good. It's pulling a 0010 code.

No

I know, I wish mine would understand my love of Scotch. But seriously, my wifey does support my model addiction and lets me know when she finds something I might want.

Porsche Boxter too, I believe.

True, but it's not determined by number of cylinders. My Terrain 2.4 uses 5 qts, My AMCs (both six and eight cylinder) used 5 qts. My 73 Eldo used 6 qts which was a 500 cid V8. Both my HHRs took 5 qts. It's how much capacity the designers determined it needed, not number of cylinders.

Hey RC2, see these tractors? Howsa bout dusting off those old Ertl tools of the IH Farmalls.

I have most of my work done at my friend's Custom Car shop. I can't really complain about my dealer too much either, it just costs a boat load of money to use it. I've bought three cars there; two new and one used, The HHR panels were rock solid and dead reliable machines with almost no trouble...just some brake rotors that vibrated which I replaced with some Canadian made parts through NAPA instead of the made in China OEM bits. My GMC Terrain was an oil user and it was determined that the consumption rate was over recommended GM standards for that engine (Ecotech 2.4). The dealer replaced it's pistons, rings, bearings, machined the crank, replaced cam shafts. Can't praise the dealer enough for that work. Truck runs great

Six cylinder's worth? That's not how they measure oil needed. Most vehicles use 5 qts. Except for the special vehicles like big pick ups and sports cars, most use only five quarts.

Note the draftsman's name at the right hand lower corner? Phillipe Delespinay drew much of the early Heller instruction sheets. I talked with him a lot on a slot car forum and were discussing Heller and AMT collaborations to market kits like the double kits of the Alpine and Gordini and several others. I sent him my AMT double kit of the Brabham/Matra kit so he could complete his collection. He lives in the US now involved with slot car stuff.

That's gotta make family events awkward.

Model Empire no longer carries the mag. Why?

I've a couple of glue bombs that hopefully will yield me a nice model of the Howmet car. Does anyone know what model mag had the article for detailing the kit? The Can Am version does not look at all like the box art. Artwork has a wind screen and kit has no windscreen and the shapes just in front of the cockpit are "off" a bit. Also artwork shows four headlamps whereas the kit has two. The Can Am kit will yield parts to restore the coupe however.

Maybe Summernationals will move to Joliet. That would be cool for us in the midwest.

This is gonna be good.

I really like Canadian versions of US cars

I got Danica Patrick's race car model. I've never had a kit I had to mask accurately for the two colors....oh fun.

Maybe you can trade them for Bitcoin...

I really like 1/32nd scale cars. Airfix, Pyro, All Stars/Scale Stars...

Y'all need to move to Wisconsin. One can catch a beer before church.

It's a pretty good kit otherwise. i built a few when I was a kid. Also the hood trim piece is molded as one piece with the grille assembly, not separate like it should be attached to the hood. But I did like the 57 Buick grille insert which was a common custom trick in my home town to do.

No, they were a friction drive toy/promo. One piece bodies.

Just testing
