MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. This one may have a cowl induction hood - it's difficult to tell from the box art. I do have the kit but it's been stashed away for years and I don't remember. The hood is different than the stock one, so I'm not sure it will work with a stock truck grill.
  2. I would contact your help desk since it's a company phone. You shouldn't have to bear the cost of supplying chargers and cables. They will give you a compatible charger, and probably two, so that you can have one at home and the other at work. If it's a phone problem, they will replace it. I have a company issued iPhone that they completely support. I have never had a personal iPhone or any interest in one. They provide all the accessories I need for it. I've never spent a dime on it.
  3. So I found the same type of truck that had the TV screens on it that I saw in DC. This video is probably acceptable - it's a "see through" truck. The front camera is displayed on the rear screen. https://packaged-media.redd.it/bty51tt9zinf1/pb/m2-res_1276p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&v=1&e=1757214000&s=726d5f917437896277b0d051670e1702b89e086d
  4. On 12th Street SW in DC, I saw 3 20ft or so box trucks parked on the side of the road. They had basically huge TVs mounted on the box sides and rears covering the entire area. I have never seen anything like that. I took some video of them, but being DC, the message was very political and not appropriate for here.
  5. LGB is a German company, and stands for Lehmann Gross Bahn (Lehmann Big Trains).
  6. You may also see the LGB compatible stuff marked as G scale.
  7. I had an automatic 92 SC. Best car I've ever owned - I was devastated when I sold it. I expected it to be my forever car, but it was not to be. From what I remember, there were no manual transmission Super Coupes sold in 92.
  8. "Submerged: Life on a Fast Attack Submarine in the Last Days of the Cold War" by Henry Rausch. What a great book. It sheds a lot of light on the life of a junior naval officer. It's a very accurate depiction of life in the submarine business in the late 1980s/early 1990s. I've read the book 5 times or so since I got it in April. Disclaimer: he was the Weapons Officer supervising my job on another submarine, and I flew back to the US with him from the Mediterranean Sea many years ago.
  9. What scale are these? You've done a nice job on them. I have the Amphicat that Jack L mentioned, and was thinking they'd be cool when I was building mine. I love that theme song - it's a happy and fun song and video. I go watch it on YouTube every so often.
  10. Expand the box above to see the pictures - you can probably only see text.... Looking at these two shots, it appears that the front end openings are about 1-1/2 times larger on the model than they should be. They also look a little too low. The bottom edges of the openings should have "ramps". I would think that adding those ramps to the existing openings would do wonders, and I would do that before adjusting anything else. Just my thoughts.
  11. That's what I get: (1/25) / (1/24) = 96% (1/24) / (1/25) = 104% Just about 4%.
  12. A Lamborghini Revuelto and a Volkswagen ID Buzz.
