NASCAR window netting
Dave Van replied to Michael in Illinois's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Again.......look at PPP window net kit. -
I don't know much about the history of the AMT P 928 kit. I have done some work on the AMT Porsche 935 racer. It looks a lot like the 928 but I do not know if related. The AMT 935 started life as a Japanese kit under the NITTO brand. ARII issued it and then it went to ESCI. The molds traveled to the USA when Ertl bought ESCI. Now Ertl did some slight modifications to the tool and ran it here. Later somehow the tooling for the 935 was returned to Italy under Ertl/ESCI ownership. The tooling was run there but sold under AMT brand with a stick on label saying 'Made in Italy' This week Italeri has reissued the former AMT kit under the their label but I have not seen inside to see if they made any modifications, The history of the 928 COULD be the same......the design makes sense......but I have not facts.

Yep......rebox of a Japanese motorized kit......May make a decent curbside.

288 is maybe my favorite Ferrari......

Revell 1/28 WW I
Dave Van replied to Flynlo's topic in WIP: All The Rest: Motorcycles, Aviation, Military, Sci-Fi, Figures
Well done. Wonder why they picked 1/28?? Close enough to 1/25.....I have the kits....but built very different! -
When I bought my 46 coupe I was looking for a sedan.....but after I saw the coupe I saw there was plenty of room for grandkids in back......still love the sedans! I want to put the bumpers back on mine....but that will be $$$$$

THANKS!!! I bought the car in FEB 1975 for $600 from Young Ford Charlotte. Daily driver for many years. Finished a restoration just in time for the rainiest weekend ever at Charlotte Motor Speedway for Mustang 55th show 2019. Small block Ford with Top Loader 4sp.

Quick build......Lindberg 27 T cartoon style.....
Dave Van replied to Dave Van's topic in Model Cars
1/24 scale. It was inspired by Disney hot rods. Look up 'All the Cats join in' and see...... -
Quick build......Lindberg 27 T cartoon style.....
Dave Van replied to Dave Van's topic in Model Cars
I think it's a combo of all those 50's and 60's hot rods that were almost stereotypes. It was fun.....thanks -
I was very unhappy back in the day when I bought this kit. It is 1/28 scale....AND very simple. Tamiya did a much better Capri.......
-
IMHO Only.......Nothing you can fix........the rear window has sharp creases where it should be much softer. Google photos of the real Cup cars and you can see the difference. thx

This is another build of the old 1960's era Linberg kits that they reissued back 10 years ago or so. I picked them up cheap....and enjoy making something from them. This build is kinda a tribute to a disney animated short that had teens, early 50's, riding around in old fender less hot rods. This is my version. Revell 29 Ford P/U supplied wheels, tires and nose/grille. Just a fun build....thanks

With the Salvinos 1986 Pontiac GP 2+2 kit hitting the shelves it reminded me I had a built 2+2 in the vault. (otherwise know as the box in the basement) Rusty Wallace's 1986 NASCAR ride. This is the old Monogram kit with the JNJ resin conversion and Fred Cady decals. Two vendors that are no more! It was built around 1988 so she holds up well. . I bought two of the Salvinos 86 2+2 kits...very good....not perfect but nice to have a kit of this car.

1934 Ford big truck
Dave Van replied to junkyardjeff's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
COOL! -
Nice work and cool idea!!!! You may want to move that battery to the bed before hitting the track!!!
-
Fantastic work!!! I love those Monogram classic kits......I was told once by a Monogram exec that these kits were a labor of love as they never sold well.
