^^BURN!!!

Ira Dahm did one in the old Car Model or Model Car Science mag.

The bronze car was not an Avenger. It is a Cheetah

I got nuttin

There was a 37 Sharknose resin body but I do not remember who made it.

I'd love to see the Howmet turbine coupe back and maybe the ZZR Spy Car too.

Looking at the parts breakdown, it seems to be right on with the way trucks were in those days. Any small details can be added by the builder.

That is pretty awesome.

Just got Revell's 72 Oldsmobile Pace Car. Methinks ol' Linda is gonna hang out with Elf on the Shelf. He's been looking like he needs a bit of company.

I love that HHR chopped wagon. Of course it appeals to me because I own an HHR Panel. That pic will be my background pic for awhile. I find the Charger two door awesome too. Could it be this old 61 year old is diggin' WWCs product? Don't know, but I sure will watch and see if anything cool comes out of this. Hey Revell, I'd like an HHR kit....(yeah , like that'll happen....LOL)

http://blog.hemmings.com/?p=568031&refer=news Article in Hemming's website about the car, and a Challenger in particular.

WOW. Did not know R&R made one. I know well enough to NOT consider them. Thanks.

I'd love one, but I ain't paying what that guy got for his. I'm glad he sold it to a guy who thought it was worth that, but it ain't me. Especially since it isn't that accurate. I mean if you want to build one, that's only way to go but the bumpers and the side window shape bothered me. I owned two 1/1s...a Skylark Custom and a Special DeLuxe.

Even the address fits with the main focus of the Hobby Shop. The Hiawatha was a passenger train on the Milwaukee Road and is still called such in AMTRAK.

All I know is fresh kielbasa is a Milwaukee thing. When I lived elsewhere I could only find smoked. Maybe in yer neck of the woods you can get fresh. Fresh is a light pink like pork meat, smoked is much darker, almost brown. Fresh just tastes better to me. Klement's or Usingers are the best brands.

In those years, (70, 71)cycolac was long gone. It was all styrene by then.

Pics please

On the real Javelins, the cars after 71 all share the same doors and windsheilds of the 68-70 models. You can actually interchange the front fenders...they will bolt up. I seen a 69 with humped fenders cruising around town.

About brush painting...are you using a cheap hobby shop brush? Get the best quality you can afford to buy. Also maybe thinning the paint will help the paint lay smooth. Testor's bottle paints can be on the thick side if you are using the small glass (plastic?) bottles. Also one smoothly applied row (slightly overlapped) of paint at a time. Do not try and go over the paint again as it will get uneven.

My Dad's car was a Studebaker from 1949. He dated mom with this and traveled a couple hundred miles to meat the parents. Mom was living in Milwaukee and she was from the central part of Wisconsin. One time up on the farm, dad was "was pitching woo" and nine months later.... After that Dad had a 49 Ford and then the car I remember more clearly was a 54 Ford with the flat head six. I think I was in second grade when he bought a 58 Rambler four door sedan with the V8. Nice car. After third grade I was being raised by my Grandparents while my sisters stayed with mom. Grandfather has a series of Buicks from a 1956 Special to a 1960 LeSabre, then a 1969 Skylark Custom he had beefed up to GS specs by the dealer who was a friend of his...after that a bunch more Buicks, a 75 Special, 76 Lesabre, 77 Lesabre, 84 LeSabre to the last one which was a grand National.

I went to Model Empire yesterday just to see what was in. I went through the vintage kit section and found a 1/32nd scale All Star series 60 Thunderbird. With my luck Round 2 will now re release that old kit. Looking for the others.

I haven't heard anything. That would be an awesome kit. I am sure that the JoHan Jihadis will be nit picking over this if it ever comes out.

When you mention Kielbasa, are you referring to fresh or smoked?

No, it is obviously a GM full size car, Maybe Olds because of the peaks along the tops of the body sides.

Model Empire had their yearly rummage-o-models yesterday. I picked up a Monogram Cord and a 1/32 scale early Chevy with actual chrome bits. Some head lamp lenses and wheel covers for Fords. Some tires to complete a few kits I bought years back that had none. Also the July issue of Model Cars.
