I know MCM did a build up on the Polar Lights funny cars. Can anyone tell me what issue and what the cover looks like? I know I have it somewhere with the emphasis on somewhere! Maybe if I knew where to look for it, I'd have a chance to find it. Thanks, Mike

Last year there was a great two part article about detailing a modern top fueler. There was also PDF's available to download that went into more detail than what would fit the page allotment. I believe that's a great idea. Anyway, I'm finally at a point where the download would be useful.....but can't find it! Can you direct me to it? Mike

As always I love Randy Derr's build ups. This one truly deserves more space that what was in the magazine. Any possibility of more details on line like the Top Fueler of a few issues back? I really would like more details on the chassis and the sheet metal. A side article on how to do the embossing would also be a great help for many builders. I want this to apply to a Revell Camaro that I started at least five years ago as a Saturday Night Special. Overall a great issue....one of your best. Can't say I've found an article that didn't hold my ineterst. Mike

I'm not a newbie. I've been an active modler (not a finisher) since high school. I've read SAE (when it was good), Car Modeler, Plastic Fanatic and Model Cars for something over twenty years. I find that I can still learn. Its amazing how once you can over the idea that you know it all you can still learn. Just last night I did my first reshaping of a resin body. Absolutely amazing. I'm sorry but I like the idea of contest coverage mixed in a regular issue. I also like to kow enough about a model to be able to say. "Man that's neat....I ought to try that. " When the pictures get so small that I can't tell anythig about it, I feel like I'm looking at postage stamps. How's this for a compromise. Expand the ceoverag like you did the Top Fuel article on the web site. That way, if I want details, I go on line and get them. You may want to have a link that is only advertised in the magazine so people will go to the web after buying the magazine. Mike Ditchen

If you don't make the pictures bigger with better descriptions of what and why, I won't be buying it. I want to learn. Rarely do the contest books teach me. Sorry, but I'll take a good issue of how tos over a contest book anytime. Mike

In the really great article on detailing Top Fuel cars, a reference was mad to a machinists die set. Okay.... what exactly is this and do you have a source? Mike
