  1. Looks like a paint job on a street stock 69.....twin white stripes??
  2. His stuff is so nice........great service too!
  3. I just feel Revell, now of Germany, will look at DTM or even F1 kits rather than NASCAR........ The new Porsche 935 racer is what I see them doing....IMHO ONLY!!!
  4. r was a flea market expert.....she found a AMT 'El Toro' funny car, 1971 era, complete mint for 25 cents!!! She passed a few years ago....so I'll never let it go....btw....she wouldn't take my 25 cents I offered her...
  5. Not that NASCAR paid a 'fee' to have kits made.....but they did waive any fees they would charge Revell like they did in the past. NASCAR had rights over everything.....even body design as they were not cars designed by GM, Ford etc. NASCAR did make all tech specs and CAD available and did all they could to help the process. But if they paid Revell......only those at the top of a bankrupt company can say for sure.
  6. SHARP!!! Just like one my father in law owned........nice work!!!
  7. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. I had no issue so big it would keep me from buying the last RM Cuda.....and build it!!! This body looked OK because, I guess, I didn't know better. A lot of it boils down to what you know on a daily basis........I see issue in RM 48 Ford coupe that I never see anyone else talk about.....but as I have a 1/1 scale version next to my model room....I see the MINOR issues. POV....
  8. Nice work on one of my favorite cars!!
  9. Doubt R2 will tool new kits after their attempt did not wow modelers. And with Revell owners in Germany.....don't see them doing them. Resin is the only way.
  10. Ollie's had tons of those at Christmas for $15...I was tempted.....but passed.
  11. That's them!!!! Very cool to see them!!! thx
  12. Zero mark downs in Beckley WV.........but mgr said a reset is coming in two weeks. Also HL will start carrying Atlantis kits soon.
  13. Sounds like them.......are the rears BIG?? I sold 50 sets of them......Seled in poly bag. Thx
  14. Most of these where available at HL Gastonia NC for $7.49
  15. When I saw the Roush IMSA cars at his shop the entire chassis was a very light gray. 7/11 blue is TS-15 Tamiya. Folgers was a met red on the darker side.....spray can...maybe mica red over gold???
  16. Very cool!!!
  17. Good start!!! I like this kit and even repro'd the original tires a few years ago......
  18. I keep it on hand and find it best in certain applications. I buy it in a pack of two at Hobby Lobby......still good stuff...IMHO ONLY!!!
  19. On my desk: Testors orange tube glue Flexi-file liquid bottle cement Gorilla Glue CA small bottle w/blue cap Elmers white glue Future/Pledge floor shine- it works as a glue for non stress points like photo-etch emblems etc two part epoxy ribbon/putty
  20. Buy a new bottle......adding things to super can go bad fast. Check Gorilla glue with blue cap.....lasts me until I use it up.
  21. Sorry......but 99% of the buying public will only see a 1/25 scale Camaro model kit. Body issues will only be an issue to the lunatic fringe......of which I am a proud member.
  22. Nice work on both!! How did they build??? Just finished the Wedge rail and it was a difficult build....no locators and lots of mounts here somewhere.
  23. I see why those Beemax kits are so costly!!! Tons of parts!
