  1. The REAL Elanor is a 71-73 Mustang........if you mean that one the hood is in the JoHan Mustang funny car kit. Resin casters make the base model wheels.
  2. You asked for ideas.....I replies........thx
  3. Just google Starsky & Hutch & Huggy Bear.....you'll understand!
  4. Maybe Huggy Bear's ride???? You cut the window in the C pillar too!!! GOOD WORK
  5. Get a Salvinos OLDS kit and build a Cup car. The OLDS chassis is a decent MOPAR chassis you just need a HEMI.
  6. Atlantis says the Chopper kit ships in a week......
  7. Looking good!!!! have 2 I need to start...
  8. The legacy MPC Mustang flatback kit is not bad considering its roots are from 1971. I hope for some minor retooling to get a batter front end. AND keep the short track/road race parts PLEASE!!!
  9. A combo of what Revell is doing AND looking into the vault and see what is ready to run with the least cost involved. Worth running 5-7K kits.
  10. Is the Nissan the old FnF kit??? Other than the wheels and tires....I like it and will get another...... I think Tim Boyd has been asking for the Toyota.....EDIT Tim has talked about the 80's Toyota.....Who's Supra is that??? was it in the FnF line too??
  11. Cool build....I always wanted that kit.....never crossed my path.
  12. For a GOOD semi gloss black Lacquer I use Dupli-color DAL 1608. I got a can today at my NAPA store for $6 big 12 oz can. It works directly on all plastics I've used it on without issues.
  13. I put my Tamiya paint jobs in a dehydrator and they are ready to do whatever you want in 15 minutes......tape off and spray 2nd color....assemble...whatever
  14. NY has some very restrictive re-open orders with huge fines if you fail.....may be safe/cheaper to stay closed.
  15. A big resin caster said a few years ago he was looking to do this in 1/25.....but must have changed his mind.
  16. That seller has had a number of vintage kits for sale...none cheap....all pretty cool!
  17. Still nice model! My youngest son born in 1986 is named Elliott.....wonder who I pulled for!!!
  18. Nice work!!! Your dash work and overall stance is good!!! To bad Slixx got the foor number so wrong. I used a Cady '9' from one of his sheets.....can't recall which for sure. It worked well......
  19. Being on a Monogram 30 Ford kick I found this thread......did it get finished??? Love it so far!!!!
  20. I've been using Molotow spray cans on the past few builds. I apply body color, then on the Superbird the rook color. I then masked off the chrome trim and spray it. LOTS of masking but I liked the results and foiling has become difficult for me......
  21. All I can say is many companies I know are getting product from outside the USA. Affected, yes. 100% shutdown.......no. I was referring mostly to hobby products. How is R2 having product made in China and we will take delivery of a bunch of new stuff TUE?? Unless the boxes come in with a tag saying R2 moved manufacturing.....they came from China....multiple container!! But whatever you say. Checked the Port of LA CA.....traffic down 25% and getting containers through is slower than in 2019.....but everything that wants to dock is being handled. I did not check all ports reports.
  22. My dealer say TUE maybe......looking forward.
  23. I do have a box stock build....used to test paint really.....it does look a little 'strange'.....
  24. Change......... Magic Mart is gone........only store in the 2000 sq miles I live! Monogram is gone..... Here is what I did with mine....
