New AMT Futuristic Custom Car Models
lordairgtar replied to regular guy's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Wilhelm's Wonder? That is now the Ice Cream Truck they just released. -
I had that Mark IV and Trailer kit still sealed. Got it cheap myself then sold at swap meet for $100 about a year ago.

You sir, have just won the internet. Glue or no glue, if it looks great...I want it. -
AMT's Horizon TC3- Loser from the past, out of box!
lordairgtar replied to Faust's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The Fugimi Cavalier was the Toyota version. Yes, Chevy sold their Cavies under the Toyota name. The Japanese hated them becuase they were not up to the standards of Toyota's own cars. It was part of GM's and Toyota's collaboration in those days that brought us the late 90s Chevy Nova/Geo Storm cars. -
What do you drive?
lordairgtar replied to gasman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Traded off the 2010 HHR Panel and now drive a 2011 GMC Terrain. Has the 2.4 Ecotech engine similar to my HHR. Nice SUV. Needed a bigger hauler for my DJ gear. I do miss the HHR as the both of them were trouble free. -
I got my Heller Petit Gris Fergie tractor and it is an amazing kit.

Officially, the back light is a back light in the US too. -
Wouldn't mind seeing the Packard moved up to 1/24 scale. I think they should do some of the Eastern Europe from behind the former Iron Curtain cars as well, my Chinese Hong Qi CA770 is very lonely in the case.

Master Modeler?????
lordairgtar replied to curt raitz's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I just looked at what you posted. Grille falling off, crooked radiator install and jagged BMF work plus no wiring under the hood and dust. You think he would take care of those issues before offering it for sale. -
Modelling Oddities/Mistakes
lordairgtar replied to NY Modeler's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Revell Germany's just reissued Opal GT kit in 1/32 scale. The chassis looks like it was cribbed from an old Palmer kit...dual exhausts and leaf springs -
MPC Magnum GT II
lordairgtar replied to vintagercr's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It's basically the same chassis as the Monaco or Polara kits that MPC put out in 65 and 66. So any full size chassis from that era Mopar kit would probably work. -

If yer not using the stock tail lamp for the Monaco, would you sell me the chrome piece that sits inside the red piece? -

Wouldn't a Yenko or Nickey Nova technically be a COPO -
During my many travels around the US in the early seventies, would chance upon the odd model here and there. A truck stop out side of St Louis yielded an AMT Dump Truck kit. In Weldon Illinois, I was working with the Christ Is The Answer Ministry and the small town had a little grocery store that sold kits. That one yielded up the AMT 63 Vette. A small hardware store in Braidwood Illinois yielded two Ertl IH Farm Wagons.

When I was growing up in Milwaukee on the south side, there was a little drug store on the corner of S.31st and W.Greenfield ave. It was called Louie's and it had a soda fountain where you could get malts, Stewart sammiches and popcorn made in one of those machines that shook the little pan the popcorn came in similar to Jiffy Pop. Anyways, he had general merchandise as well as medicines. There was always a couple of model kits. I bought my MPC 65 Monaco and the 66 Polara there. Over on Muskego Avenue there was a small hardware store that also carried models. I bought the AMT 69 Wildcat (or LeSabre...I not sure) and a JoHan Mercedes Benz kit. He had a small selection of Pactra, Testor's and AMT paints in bottle and spray too.

Round 2 January 2017 Product Spotlight
lordairgtar replied to MrObsessive's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
...and of course I had just located a rare hard to find 1/32 scale Mustang anwhat do they do? They re issue it. Well, that's OK, the new re pop will be built and the original will go into the Lord Air Gtar Museum of Model Memories as a rare bagged version of the Mustang. -
Nicest 4 banger; your thoughts.
lordairgtar replied to aurfalien's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
A lot of really nice engines mentioned. I have to give props to the GM EcoTech four cylinder engines. Tough little beasts. Both my HHRs had them and now even my GMC Terrain has the 2.4 version. Pulls that heavy vehicle around quite nicely. Also an older Volvo B18 four was a reliable solid engine. Simple to work on too. -
What do you drive?

Traded off my HHR in April and bought a 2011 GMC Terrain. Nothing wrong with the HHR but I needed something with more space. -
