  1. Getting kicked out to a generic 'model' search site.........after 3-4 tries I get in.
  2. Nice work!!! That kit can be a bear to get to look that good.
  3. What are the Mustangs with the Raptors?? 1/18 kits????
  4. I use the 'two AMT Thunderbird chassis' method. Easy and quick. I bought a bag full of AMT 90's era parts for $5 and that supplied a lot!
  5. I NEED A BUNCH!!!!!
  6. Lindberg just cloned the bodies off AMT....much cheaper than designing new CAD.
  7. Ethanol boils down govt support for corn prices. As stated above it's a negative o a energy index.
  8. Nice clean work!!!
  9. You are correct.....not having it in our region I mix up the fuels you can use. Thanks
  10. Give it a try. My manual says get as close to empty for first tank.
  11. My F-150 will run on pure gas all the way to 100% methanol. But no one sells it in my region. My son has used it, he's in KY. MPG goes down because it does not have the BTU's gasoline has. Also you may need to put your foot in it to get the same power.....making MPG even lower. But if the methanol is cheap enough it may work for you.
  12. Much of the rumors ans speculation are due to 'know it alls' that want their 'five minutes'. But again this morning watching KTLA they bring on a guy that claims many years of independent investigations and lays out the crash in his opinion. Maybe some blame needs to go to the media??? The guy was logical, seems intelligent and knowledgeable and showed site footage......so I understand why an average person would take it as gospel. It's not just the guy on the street making things up.
  13. A pretty nice Ford nine inch rear can be found in the 90's era AMT NASCAR stock cars.....any of them.
  14. They post info on their site from time to time...check it.
  15. My info came from KTLA which I hoped would not be to inaccurate. They did show a large debris field which is why I accepted their high speed claim. I will say the worst fog I have ever been in was in So Cal growing up. It was so thick we could not see the hood of our car....like driving in milk. We walked home and Dad went back later and got the car after it lifted.
  16. It takes work. I'd wait for Salvinos and see how it is. My PL build.....
  17. Why in a helicopter can you not slow or hover??? Why was he continuing to fly at over 180 mph???
  18. This sounds a LOT like the Hendrick Motorsports crash outside Martinsville VA. Extreme fog and location confusion. Sad for all.
  19. Dreaming??? Dream BIG!!!! Any 40's and 50's trucks.......over the road cabs....COE and conventional..........a narrow nose Pete is the only one I see having any chance of being made.
  20. It sure looks like it. Add to it the last AMT 935 kit I bought had a sticker applied to the box that said 'parts made in Italy'. It's a simple kit, almost curbside with the engine just 3 parts. But builds quick and looks good.......to me!
  21. Were do you find Italeri kits in US?? A few I'd like....
  22. TD says he will no longer be working with 'new' Revell......kinda says it all to me. Ditto Firebomb....
  23. This is Revell based build......Tweetie Pie IIRC.......
  24. So if Bandito is not going to happen, add the fire engine parts and reissue it as Firebomb.....that was not a TD design but a Monogram redesign.
  25. Some nice surgery there!!!!
