'62 Plymouth Valiant?

Yes it is more complex than it looks!Very nice job!

Indeed!

It looks like a computer mouse!Hence the "thumbwheel" in the center!

Be cool!I have a felling this one will turn out to be a head turner!

es it looks like Buck Owens red white and blue guitar.Did you scratch build it?

I like the paint.It has an aged Navajo white look that really fits a vintage racer.

Pretty cool!Is that a resin kit by chance?

Yes!I have a 1/48th B-24 and it is big!1/24th would be massive!

Well I tried the plastic one and it seemed awfully fragile so I am glad that I made the metal nose gear.The main gear struts are plastic but seem very sturdy and they support the weight just fine.

Awesome!

I just made that kit and you have to add quite a bit of weight to make sure it is not a tail sitter.I had to use 6 .451 lead round balls from my 1860 Army cap and ball pistol to make her sit right and made a replacement nose gear from brass and aluminium tubing.The main gear are sturdy enough to use as is.

Very nice!I am building the 396 hardtop and the fit of the parts is top notch.I like how Revell included the lower control arms for the rear diff and anti sway bar,I installed the rear suspension before the exhaust ,engine and driveshaft were installed.I cut the exhaust pipes just after the mufflers and had no problem gluing them back after they were properly located.

Thee Modelhaus makes a curbside version;

What is up with that silver Tornado convertible?Mannix version perhaps?

Tamiya Gold Leaf.

Yeah she is done and I am now heavily into the 1/48 Revell B-25 J.

I like that '60 Dodge on the front left!

I built that Blimp kit about 5 years ago.Here is a link to a vid. https://youtu.be/rIcoxWE_1C0

That thing is awesome!I am surprised they sprung for the complicated tooling unless the maker of the real excavator helped pay for the development costs!

Looks very cool in either case

Very cool!

Thin it with a little 70% isopropyl alcohol.

Yes it is a stunner for sure!

I like the tipped up gasser stance!Very cool indeed and a nice save!
