  1. thanks Sir!!! You spotted all the parts I used. The tender is a F7 covered in Evergreen stock and powers the loco. Thanks
  2. I always liked the Shark!! I have a few in HO and O scale. Nice save on that one! I did cut up a TYCO Shark to make this......it was a junker.
  3. Atlantis says all the extras will be in the reissue.....including the soft fuel and oil line, plug wires.
  4. Those 1962 Revell Mopar kits are interesting...
  5. I have been using Dupli-Color primers and paints since the 1980's without any issues. My only rule is Dupli-Color #1699 first....then any paint of any kind....even Dupli-color lacquers. Always woks for me.
  6. Back when I was doing resin I had thoughts of this car. I'd was going to start with a Monogram 1/24 El Camino for the A pillars forward. The rear was going to use the Monogram Chevy Citation. With work it can be done. Thanks
  7. Cool!! What was the event?? We need to see the rest of the car too! Fellow Mustang owner...........
  8. Hard to believe that tooling stayed in ILL and never went to China
  9. Looks good!!! One of my favorite cars and kits!
  10. Our newest buddy......VLAD a Chartreux breed that we were given because his tail was crushed and thus he was not able to be shown in cat shows. It takes 3 years to reach full size, he is one year old now. This breed does not 'talk'.......so if you like quite cats!!
  11. I have never heard that 64.5 hoods are different!! Anyone have any photos?? Love to see them. I have spent a lot of time working on first gen Mustangs.......this one I bought in 1975
  12. Since I bought a resin conversion kit for Unreal it must be......?
  13. Cool idea
  14. I must have 30 of the old MDC ore cars. I bought them new back when undec versions were under $3 ea. I painted them silver with D&RGW decals.
  15. Sorry about that.....
  16. I'm willing to take a hit on my ZZR kit if AMT wants to reissue it ?
  17. Nice work....always liked that one.....when was it reissued???? Must have missed it!
  18. And builder of the Icon model 'Dodge Fever' drag car. I met Jim at NNL Toledo.....a SUPER nice guy.
  19. Yes....BBO. Not a stock color in 73 but could be ordered. When I bought it Fawn Beige .....YUCK!.
  20. Part of the problem is pure numbers. For every McLaren F1 sold there are 20000 modern pony cars sold (Mustang, Challenger, Camaro) Even for the Vette I bet it's 100 to 1 ratio. Add that idiots can afford modern pony cars and they require no knowledge to own. I don't like banning by car type. We have two 2016 Mustangs, both well over 400hp and we don't do stupid stuff on the street. (we tore the nose off one at a open track day as it was set up to low) Doybt we'd ever attend a C&C event.....but if I wanted to I'll take my Javelin!!!! My Javelin at an event at the Greenbrier Resort......no issues at this event!! If you acted up....no invite next year!
  21. Well Done....great colors! I like those kits....wish they'd do the two other versions.
  22. GREAT looking build!! I like those IMSA and T/A Fords. The decals in those kits were bad for the first run, no white under the colors. Here is another Mustang with Indtcals decals for Willey! thx
  23. Box Art Horrible?????? Uninspired.....yes. I've had a hand in creating boxart......it's a lot of work. Atlantis must want a look and they are going with it. Also they are pretty new to this automotive sector of kits. ONE of my purposed that got altered MANY more times before finalized.......
  24. Back in the day I kitbashed Tunnel Motors and DDX40 locos......so not out of the realm if I need.
