DITTO.......plus I could not like a post??

Another one you do not see often.....well done!!!

IIRC it's in one of the R2 coming videos.......

The OHIO derailment started with a hot box detector going off. (from the reading I've done) The NS crew decided to try and make it to PA before inspecting and/or setting out the rail car with the bad bearing. If that is true, that they did not even stop and inspect the Hot Box report......it's all on the NS crew. Sounds like they violated a number of rules and laws. I have a number of family and friends in the rail industry. Our family has been in the biz in many form for over 100 years. It is a VERY hard job. I understand it better than many of the 'Experts' making calls today. But if this crew did as it is being reported.......100% negligence on the part of NS and that crew.

Steve.....nice work. That car is one of the kinda obscure cars. Mine is different than yours.....I built it way back but I think I just used the Slixx decals....did you use something else?? Thanks

I wish it was a 2 door......it was a 4 door. I built mine as a 2 door to keep alterations to a minimum.

I agree the nose on the 2022 Camaro, IN MODEL FORM, may be hard to tell from a 2023........but NASCAR put out a side by side photo that shows it is VERY different. The 2023 noce was a good 6 inches lower, much less pointed.....very different. If Monogram had done this back in the da......modelers would give them heck!!

Been using it longer than I can recall. I use it for color block, sealer and just a primer. I always sand coats with 1000, 4000, 6000 before I apply color. I find it a great paint. 3 coats of #1699 sanded. Then with 3 coats of Tamiya TS-14

That's a monster!!

Just sent msg thx

YEP! PM for info

Many thanks....I THINK I have one coming!!! THANKS

Slow progress.....basement flooded after 2" of rain here in WV, that took 2 days. But I have gotten the color on the body and just need to polish it. Tamiya TS14 spray can black. Now a request!!!! I came home one day and my model room door was open. Not a good thing. I have 3 cats, 2 of them are barn cats that behave well. The 3rd is a large Siamese that is always in trouble. If you have ever seen Disney's 'Lady and the Tramp' the Siamese in that film are good compared to mine. Well on checking my open model room....I see SI, my Siamese, has been on my desk......and a rear tire is missing and lots of stuff on the floor. I looked for two days for the tire.....but SI loves anything that rolls......needless to say that tire did that well. So I need a Tamiya rear from the 70's-80's era kits. I'd buy another kit but these things are pretty high right now.....and just to steal a tire......SO if anyone has a rear they can spare???? Thanks

That is so cool!!!!!!!!!!

Great work and model!!! I understand Model ADD..../I have many projects....but just bought a 1/12 935K kit.....like I need more......

I picked up a mint MPC kit last year......Love that car. The MPC version has the pickle fork front end option unlike the IMC version. Thx

Kinda proof that these were made together and just for Ollie's......................

I like that McLaren!!! thx

What kit is that? Nice work

Were the Atlantis tank kits $13 too???? Not far from retail. Thx

Nice craftsmanship!!!!!! Where is the body from????

My So Cal buddy does car restoration and has to drive to AZ to buy paint supplies. Seems kinda stupid to loose sales/tax but it's the least strange thing CA does. Good you found a bottle.

So is Atlantis making kits for Ollie's now or is it overstock??? My store did not have those......I'd like the rank from the kit!

All the kits I bought were manufactured in Sept 2022, so to me it seems these were made just for Ollie's. The instructions and decals on the 32 Ford have a 2010 copyright on them......which I think was the last time the kit was in the catalog. My store had the SR-71 snap kit too.

My Ollie's had a good number of kits. 99 Cobra, Dodge P/U, Viper......... I bought a 32 Ford, Lambo and Cobra Mustang. But @ $13 each it adds up fast......but since MSRP on new kits is $40 it's a 3 for 1 deal??? UPDATE: I notice ALL the kits the Ollie's price sticker is UNDER the shrink wrap. Are these kits being made just for Ollie's??? Is Ollie's unwrapping each kit, price sticker on and then new shrink wrap? I bet they are being made for Ollies......they are all tools/kits not in the current line or even of late. That sticker under wrap is gonna make it tough on the re-sellers!!!
