Primer being flat is able to cover things the gloss can't ....sounds like there was something on the body like mold release....

Another 'yes and no'........... MPC was never a subsidiary of AMT. Until both brands were brought under the RC2 Ertl company in the 1990's then they were 'owned by the same company'. In the 1960's then start up MPC did buy a few tools from AMT as MPC was started by an ex-AMT employee.

I WANT that road roller!!!! I can see a motor out of SCool Bus sitting in it!!!

Revell kit....mold is worn OUT!!!

TWO thumbs WAY up!

Well....how about trackside pics??? There are lots of cool stuff from my trip from WV to LA last May. Trains, cars, planes and buildings famous and not. Check out 3000 miles on Amtrak at link below. Thanks http://www.currtail.com/catrip

Very KOOL!!!

Tell Q hello for me!!!

Nice job on a good little kit. I have built a number of these....a few in NASCAR trim. This one is a model of a car a buddy bought after he saved all his money through HS and bought as soon as we graduated.

Still looks pretty good....

Well.....Dad was the Valvoline racing rep in So Cal for years......I like Thunderbirds and I like Mark....What's not to like!!!!! GREAT craftsmanship!

Bill!!! We need pics old guys eye's can see!!! Glad to see you doing this. I have talked to Joe and Bauher about some of these projects....maybe my Cougar will get done!

I owned a 1/1 86 Dodge Colt Vista.....I'd like a model of it too!!!

These kits should be in shops this week!!!! Mine will be here Wed I hope!

OK....where's the water flowing from the engine and windows coming from???? Bored minds need to know!!!

Cool idea! I have the kit too....but yet to decide what to build.

Most Dupli-color factory match colors dry flat. Not milky....not sure what that is. But a gloss coat is needed 99.9% of the time.

In the late 1960's....68 and 69 maybe ...the LA Times ran a new car special section each fall when the new cars came out. The entire front page of the section was a 'cartoon' drawing of a busy 'city' with 100's of car related tings going on. Always wondered who the artist was.....it sure looked like Bell's work....any one ever heard of these??? RIP

Could use a Mack B-61 for a Mad Max III build!!

Very nice!! I was going to as many T/A races as I could during those years.

That's the way it works with me!!!

I have the Modelhaus and Mint 1/24 Tuckers. I have put it on a number of suggestions lists. But every person in the industry says the subject is too narrow for a plastic kit today. I've even suggested the NASCAR version along with a custom version to utilize the tool enough to pay for itself. And every time I get told it would never work. I still don't agree....but those with the $$$ say no...so don't hold your breath or bet the farm....etc!!

Operating in 1/25 scale??? Way beyond my skill. Nothing is impossible....but it would require micro machining skills and equipment. A static Photo-etch would be within most folks ability but working....nothing off the shelf is close. There are some chain drives in HO scale model RR parts suppliers....but they would sill be huge in 1/25 scale.

This was more a paint test than a serious build....although I did like the results given what I started with. I used all Dupli-color paint. Light gray primer, silver and then strawberry red. I liked the results.

Me too!
