Wish there was a good door shot....be neat to build!!

I've bought 2 cans of Testors since Tamiya came to the USA.....

No....it would have been a mirror image in the film if left uncovered......thus showing the film was flipped.......as I stated in OP.

Why is the 'Freightliner' emblem covered with black tape???? The entire segment was filmed and them flopped....Arnold is really on the right side fake driving.......the real driver is in the normal left side but covered to look like a seat!!!!

About the same level or a little less. It seems everyone 'needs' me more now and I end up doing more outside the house.

I like the mods to the JoHan/AMT

'Gone in 60 seconds' original....yes...remake...junk. The rest are OK but for a few I have never seen. I'd put Blues Brothers in the 10. Some iconic movie cars in that one.....and stunts that will never be done again.

My best buddy worked at one of those BOX style stores. I have fond memories of those and 'PUP N TACO' buildings!!!

That is the oldest Taco Bell left as a Bell. There is a old TB in Buena Park off Harbor still stands but is a Chinese place now. So your right it is a real TB but the drive through is wrong for 69. More than anyone ever wanted to know!!!

On a side note.....I lived in So Cal 1969.....NO Taco Bell had drive through.....or even a enclosed eating area. All were walk up with patio seating around a fire pit. Not cars....but how they get things wrong.

Super nice clean work.

I like 'The Lively Set' too.......not many goofs.....

Last American Hero had some time shifts to speed things up....but the car stuff was pretty accurate.

These were late bankruptcy era kits.....were they were doing anything on the cheap to stay alive. As you show....with work they turn out OK

Which turbine would be a good start. Chrysler car unit, Chevy Titan unit, Ford unit???

That 34 Ford is a all time favorite. I hope they include the stake bed too. One of my builds....another on the bench.

I dpn't like the Lindberg 1/32 kit......of all of those in that series it's the worst looking.....IMHO!

Why announce 2020 (late) kits???

Nice work....

Nice work! I like those kits.

The new Revell USA had to start from zero. It has not been a perfect restart with some stumbles. Some issues caused the last round of new and restock to go to some while others got none. The folks in charge say they are working hard to get things righted and running smoothly. They may be bringing some of the old staff back on to get things rolling. Right now we nave to give them time.

I've had thoughts of a 77-78 Bird from a Torino for years...I have a old Torino body around with a bunch of marks....planning but never started. You are off to a good start. I also want a 77 LTD II in scale.....

Nice work......I saw Ryan win when we went to the Roval race.

There are many different Lindberg eras.......and kits under the lindberg brand come from Lindberg, IMC, Pyro, AMT and others, So you can't make a blanket statement on all the kits that is 100% correct.

ROOKIE!!!!! I may have builds as old as you!!! A few days ago dug a 1974 build out of my storage area. It's a David Pearson model and when David passed it triggered the build. It's not state of the art....but love it still. I have been in the hobby since 1962 and like you....have invested a bunch.....but it has been well worth it. And judging by your build quality I have seen over the years....you are getting a better ROI!!! Thanks
