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

No. Chevy Chase drove a highly customized Ford Crown Vic wagon. Supposedly to represent a fictitious make called the Queen Family Truckster.

Still wanting a Renwal 66 Jordan and a AMT 66 Buick Skylark. Also I think it was a 69 Mustang you could make a convertable or a notchback from the kit. Made by Revell.

Brewed ten miles from me. Who knew!

Never even heard of Wisconsin Premium, and I live in Wisconsin.

Release date?

After further research, I see I was wrong, especially after dusting off my old Standard Catalog Of Cars book.

The Toyota 2000GT was never made with a left hand dash, as the car was never imported to a western country. Even ones sold through private hands stay RHD

MG? Must have been the Clenet. They were however based on late 70s LTD IIs or Mercury versions. Some used Town Car or Continental grilles. Smaller versions used MG doors, glass, and trunk lids. The larger ones used VW Super Beetle glass and doors, but all had Ford underpinnings. I remember applying for a job there in Goleta and seeing the half disassembled Fords in the back of the shop. They would sell those to body shops.

Great progress

why does Fotki offer free service to Russia and Estonia and make others pay? Why are they so special.
