Being a model railroader longer than a model car guy...(trains set at 3 years old.....I was a old 5 before models came in) I will say there are what we call 'rivet counters' that might be called grumpy.......but overall it's a 'do what makes you happy' hobby. O scale 3 rail is tough to keep 'scale'. 'O' varies in scale between 'scale' and traditional......very few 1/48 scale vehicles are made because 1/43 dominance. I love them all......... My fellow West Virginian Joey made this video of his layout.....a super guy and never grumpy.....O scale narrow gauge https://youtu.be/b3cM6sBOAK8

Isn't it just the promo in kit form???

Real car parts sellers like Carpenter group the 41-48 Fords together as the share many components. I know from my 1/1 parts buying!!!!

Those Robotech kits were molded by a Japanese company and packaged by Revell....so doubt it...

Wonder if this is a dump of Hobbico warehouse.....a odd mix and very scattered......hmmmm

Surf Woody is one I wish my store had. But I travel this week and I'll check other stores.

My Ollie's had the 3 Vette's, Deora, snap Chevy #48, Man from Uncle, CARS snap Revell, a few otherssss$87 worth came home with me after 10% off....

O scale model railroaders need them too!!!!!

So far so good!!! thx for sharing......

Saw that in the regular New Ray line.....my only issue was the chopped door bottoms!!! How $$$

Soak in vinegar for a few minutes....wash, dry .......spray with a good primer. Metal etching primer if you have it.

How much do you need??? Hobby Lobby carries it....I'm going Sat. LMK

Thanks....my store had them last month but they were in plain unlabeled boxes.....I opened one to see what it was!!

what is the kit 2nd shelf ftom top???? thx

99% Dupli-color and Tamiya. Just high quality paint. A synthetic lacquer it can be thinner but maintain color and shine.

These builds are all from a box that has been packed away for more than 18 years. Most never photographed as I was holding on to my Pentax K-1000 35mm and hoping digital was a fad!!! So I figured they needed to come out of the dark!!thx This one was built as soon as the Monogram Buick kit came out and Fred Cady did the Foyt decals. I built this as a Foyt fan, Dad was head of Valvoline racing, I drove bus #51 and my SCCA car number was #51. Nose was modified to a semi accurate Olds from the Buick.....the rest box stock. Testors spray can red! Grille screen is cloth from the wife's sewing stash! thanks!

WOW!!!!!

That last bright ed is a Business coupe.....4 door front doors thus shorter. But the Revell coupe and AMT 41 with work can make a good 41 coupe...

In looking for something else....I ran into a large box of my built models.......all built before I moved to WV in 2002. Decided they needed to see the light of day......don't think they have ever been shown. First up, as it was pretty clean and intact, a Tamiya Zakspeed Gr5 Ford Capri racer. Pretty much box stock with Testors Comp Orange spray (pre Tamiya) Aftermarket decals as I like the Jagermeister cars and kit decals were garbage. I'll post more as I go through them...Thanks for looking!!

got shipped notice....happy and sad......

Cool project....

It's the same kit that AMT has issued since the late 1960's. I like it....it's simple but much like the real cars were at the time..... My buddy's build....slightly altered.....

Check Trainworld.com and look a G scale structures....a good many. I build mine scratch.....

getting closer......I'm 24500.......
