ICM models and the Ukraine.
Dave Van replied to Racephoto1's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
ICM, MasterBox, Roden and many more are all located in Ukraine. I ordered the Roden 1/35 US bus kit from Ukraine about 5 days before the invasion. I fear that these people, that are much like us, are going to loose their way of life, jobs, homes. I just Pray that they make it out alive. -
NEVER have a debt or checking account linked to Paypal or any online payment service. If you have a fraud issue with debit or checking the bank has 90 days to look into it. You may loose your car in 90 days if someone cleared your account. Credit card fraud has to be put on a hold status THE DAY YOU INFORM your CC company and they can not charge you. Keep yourself safe....no one else will do it!

Don't you love the experts???? "Just buy a Tesla rather than those stupid F350s'.......... Next time the 'experts' need a tow, ambulance ride or heavy delivery....call your Telsa owning friend. Many of use own trucks because WE NEED A TRUCK!!! I owned a SMART(50 MPG) until I NEEDED A TRUCK........it's not as simple as the experts claim.

1/25 AMT Surf Shark 1959 Cadillac Ambulance
Dave Van replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I ran a hobby shop for many years, a buddy owned it and I helped. I am glad I don't do it today. (he passed) I am not sure if I own R2 and a chain store came to me and said 'He is $250,000 firm order' (this is ONE kit remember) if I could say no. I am pretty sure if ANYONE ordered 5,000 kits they can get that price. This is how business world works. IT IS NOT ALWAYS FAIR.....but neither is life. Yes....thankfully we still get to pick who we support with our cash. (for now) Boycotting WM or R2 is all well and good. Just keep in mind both will still continue without us. We are the fringe. Thanks -
The current US Dept of Energy says gasoline is a plague of the planet. She stared in a video called 'Gasoline has to go'. Why would any of this make you think they are working on it???

Don't forget the calls from 'AMAZON' wanting you to verify your account info so the can ship your 5 iPads you just bought. OH....you didn't buy them??? Give us all your info so we can protect your account!!! Right

$10!!! You must be a young whipper snapper!!!! When the Monogram NASCAR kits first came out in 1983 retail was $5.00........I worked at a hobby shop and my cost was $3.33 each. I really miss $3.33 models!!!!!! But think......1983 was not 100 years ago....yet models are almost TEN times the cost now. I know and the market shrink and all that....but many of the $1.49 we bought in 1965 are the same kits we buy today at $32...........

You can forward fake e-mails to SPOOF@PAYPAL.COM ....it can help stop these.

Dave Van replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
One thing many big box stores do is TELL THE MANUFACTURE what they will pay. They will go to a company and say ' We want 25,000 kits and we will pay $10 each. Hard to turn down a quarter million dollars for something you make already. Not fair....the way things work today. -

Why the high MSRP? -
You have been lucky enough that this is the first one you got!!!! I have been getting them for a long time. Two things, among many, to check on questionable emails. It should be addressed to you by the full name registered to your PP account. NOT 'customer' or other generic title. Before you EVER click on a button in a email 'Hover' over the button with your cursor. The buttons URL will show on your browser in the lower left. (may display in different place on different device/browser) If the URL is some odd address then you know it's FAKE! Thanks

Wish I could have attended....but unable. Was the JR modified kit there or just a mock up of the box? Thanks

1971 Pearson GTO
Dave Van replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in WIP: Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
Great work....I like the odd Cup cars too. -
All those bodies are 1973-74 bodies. The 1971-72 body had the faux T-Top bar in the center of the roof. Sadly Jo-Han mixed and matched the Javelin parts using one year body with another year tail light panel. But if you buy enough kits you can 'un mix' and make a correct model. I like your builds....but I am bias.....
