Revell 1968 Chevy Chevelle SS 396...........My take
Dave Van replied to MrObsessive's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The Revell 68 looks good...I'll get a few....just wondered!!! thx -
Revell 1969 Mustang Boss 302............My take with pics!
Dave Van replied to MrObsessive's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
THANKS!!! I've waited for this one since the old Revell 69 with the flat face. I think the original 69 fastback spawned the Shelby and it's now the 'new' 69 Boss. -
Revell 1968 Chevy Chevelle SS 396...........My take
Dave Van replied to MrObsessive's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
As a 1/1 owner....you should know....... The AMT 69 side window shape SEEMS better to me. Is it the AMT is wrong but we have had it forever??? Or is it better?? Or am I just seeing through worn out eyes??? Thx -
I don't see as many as I did before so many Hollywood types started telling me I was an idiot. I vote with $$$$. Tom crossed the line when he claimed what my wife and daughter do for people is all a fraud. I know 100% better than that. IMHO!!!

It's not Tom's 'acting' that is the issue. Ask any teacher or health professional what issue they have with Tom and you will get a ear full. My daughter is a child development specialist and wife a ER RN.....they both told me about it.

That's a Christmas gift....now I can see the next movie!

Decal fluids, yes or no.....
Dave Van replied to SCRWDRVR's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Solvaset here.......... Walthers hobby kinda invented aftermarket decals back in the 1930's for the model railroad guys. They also invented Solvaset. It's the only thing I use and use it almost every decal. When I apply a decal I put a few drops of water where the decal will go and a tiny drop of Solvaset. This really help keep air out from under the decal. If it needs more I apply it with a brush. Solvaset is HOT so use it as little as possible to get the decal to conform. It will sometimes wrinkle too....leave it alone.....it will pull back out. -
ANYTHING other than ANOTHER 77 Trans Am.......I bought the AMC Pacers.....so a Pinto will come home too.

77 Trans Am is a GREAT seller to Moms, Grandmas and folks that just need to buy a gift model but know nothing but that 'Smokey' movie. Big chain store buyers even ask for them. So I can't fault R2 for doing what's asked for. BUT....anything else from the era (like the coming Pinto) is much more welcome among the lunatic fringe that hangs here!!!

Any up dates on the Moebius chevy II gasser ?
Dave Van replied to Mr mopar's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
They CAN transfer to new owners. Depends on how they are written. I did NASCAR licensing for 10 years.....out of a 100 license deals there was 100 different contracts.....each with it's own rules. As I said in a previous post....things are in a flux right now. MOST of it not in public view. I do not know but HOPE it sorts out in a positive way that keeps automotive kits flowing. I helped out on a number of auto kits with the old Moebius.....I hope those still come about. -

Dave Van replied to Mr mopar's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
It's all in flux......change...the only constant. -
The efficiency of logistics is the answer every time I ask why a package goes on a wondering trip.. I accept that for some of them.....but the ILL, WV then NC and back to WV is insane........

I fully understand.........but she just acts and does a decent job....you know....the old time attitude where you were and actor, knew you were living the good life and were thankful for it???? Seems so long ago.

'League of their own' was the best thing she, and many in the film, ever did. RIP

What is so strange is I get a First class package from Riverside CA in 36 hours....yet it takes 4 days to get a birthday card to my grand daughter 100 miles away....FIGURE!!!!

Cool spin!!! I need to get one of those. -

Nice work!!

Hmmmm.......We went to a old hobby shop a week ago. This was, back during the NASCAR explosion, one of the biggest shops in the country. They now are buying back collections as folks age and/or downsize. The 'new in box' 1/24 die cat are $5 and slow moving, 1/64 are $1 each and the 1/18 are $8 to 10 each. So good luck to him.....he'll have die cast in his store for years I bet. The movie stuff will be a little easier.

Help! I need a car shipped!
Dave Van replied to Harpo's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
My wife would hate you!!! She was born in Paris France and her family had a 2CV and a 1950 Mercury!!! Talk about opposite ends of the auto spectrum! She has wanted a 2CV since she got her license. She is a FANTASTIC looking 2CV BTW Seems I got really lucky in my transport. It was on time, price as stated and no damage. -
VERY well done......maybe the best that kit has looked.
-
VERY toy like IMHO.....
