  1. R2 will not allow Model King to do private issue kits any longer. Too bad as we had some great ideas for some kits.
  2. All my paint jobs go through my food dehydrator no matter the type or brand. baking metal in an oven can cause color change.
  3. Then R2 is the only one to answer.......
  4. Prayers to your entire family. Dad is still in ICU and being ignored. Found the hospital was given a score of 35 out 100 by US News & World Report. Beware folks......it's coming to your town.
  5. All Dupli-color products I use dry well in my dehydrator without issue. I have not used THAT clear in question......but used about every other product they have.
  6. I am sitting ina ICU waiting room as we speak. Dad got a bunch of blood clots in left leg....so many he lost the leg. Sent to a hospital 2 hours from home. No sleep only have this computer so I can keep family updated. Yes.....keep family close...check on all of them. BUT PLEASE keep them healthy and out of all hospitals. Affordable health care act has killed patient care. If not for my wife who worked ICU for ten years...Dad would not be going home.
  7. You can have a Gran Torino Sport without the hood bulge. You can also have the hood bulge on a notchback Gran Torino. The JoHan promo is the only stock hood with bulge/scoop. JoHan has flat stock hood. The MPC NASCAR hood fits the JoHan body perfect (MPC direct copy of the JoHan) and it has the hood bulge but sealed at front.
  8. JoHan promo bodies are not hard to find. The promo 'kit' and JoHan NASCAR kit have a 100% stock body with trim.
  9. Simple??? Everything. The cars share nothing but a few engine options and maybe a rear gear ratio. 72 was coil spring all four corners. 70 was coil spring front and leaf rear. 72 body on frame build. 70 uni-body build. No glass, bumpers or panels are shared.
  10. Very nice work!!! I have almost all the Kitmaster OO line. I did not know they had become worth anything!!!
  11. When is the old MPC kit a better choice???? If building a 66 Charger NASCAR Cup car the MPC is better. The Revell kit is so 'scale' that getting racing tires up in the fenders is difficult at best. The MPC with it's 'in-accurate' fender wells take the racing rubber fine. But I have 3-4 of the old MPC kits put back so I don't need more right now.
  12. COOL!!! It looks like a real build photos!
  13. NICE paint!!!! I did the artwork for these sold by Gofer Racing....
  14. This came in the mail today..........it will end up behind my Mad Max War Rig I am building now..... Cool kit. A EURO design....perfect for my build. IT had never crossed my radar before.....Will need a few mods...but very close to the movie tanker...
  15. The Challenger last issue was that convertible with separate top. Now if they found the old MPC body.....I'd buy a few...otherwise I have Revell die cast and plastic kit.
  16. Bandit resin has the 69 notchback Cuda.....I need one for a Mad Max Fury Road build....
  17. GSL vendor room has shrunk.....and so has Toledo (lot smaller) . We in Charlotte put on two HUGE shows in two years.....AMS 1990 and a show at Charlotte Motor Speedway 1992 with rides in NASCAR Cup cars, huge vendor area with Manufactures etc. Wouldn't work today......change the only constant.
  18. GSL, a great event, is a tough one to attend. For years I attended shows all over. One year I did NNL NJ and NNL Chatsworth CA......so I will travel. Salt Lake is just kinda ;out of the way' compared to say Toledo. My brothers live in Ohio....so I can make Toledo a 'family' trip. NJ...stop and visit Model King....so a biz trip. SLC/GSL is just a tough haul.....still want to attend some day.
  19. Due at the DIST any second........worth the wait!
  20. At DIST this week........get your orders in!!!!
