In the rain the Fiesta beat the VW Rabbits every time!!!! The Rabbits had us on HP but in the rain they could not get it down......and they tended to go through turns on 3 wheels. Sorry to get so OT.....but what a fun era.

Cool Bugeye!!!! We ran SCCA SSC to CP in the 1980's. Won a few races and made run offs a few times. Cool model. No kits of any of the cars we ran or I'd do same! Not so great results from a race in Atlanta!!!!

FYI to all who use ebay, paypal or Venmo. If you sell and the total sales, via any of the above, is a total of $600 or more A YEAR, you will be reported to the IRS and need to file a 1099K and report the income. Even if you took a HUGE loss on the item it will be called income.

I am SURE you gave him the best run possible!!

Interesting story of the super rich. Not really a story of a model fabricator but a story of a subcontractor of a project. I bet you can buy a real car for close to what the model cost in the end.

I think it's a AMT kit..........?

My father in law bought me the then Bowser PRR T-1 HO kit back before any were available mass market. It's a decent if simple kit....pulll a ton!!! My O3r PRR S-1.....thanks!

WOW!! VERY 1960s showrod....nice!

I have been following the 'T1 Trust' from the start. My late father in law was a PRR man. His brother was in charge of the PRR S-1 (look that monster up!) While it is great that these guys are building a locomotive I LOVE.....they can not build it exactly like the original. It will be a tribute loco as they say. We no longer have the ability to cast the frame for this loco, they are welding it up from stock. It's one of those 'technology lost' things. The real loco was a bit of a hot rod too. Designed to haul 15 passenger cars at 100mph without working hard.....it took veteran engineers to handle the T-1. It was easy to spin the drivers! I am the owner of 4 PRR T-1 locos....2 each in O3r and HO scale.

I had the Cox Cheetah mint. I pulled it from a box one day and it shattered into about 10 parts....not salvageable. Beware!!!

Modelhaus made a VERY nice kit. That does little good today....but if you see it come up for sale.....get it!

Jimmy was a neighbor of my wifes aunt back in the day. Jimmy is a great guy. The 'Smut' comes from someone finding a Playboy magazine in his race car once........the name stuck for better or worse!

I did work for a BIG NASCAR promotor back in the day. I got to know him pretty well. He told me if the show was getting really bad NASCAR would come on the radio and sk their track guys to find 'Marcel'. 'Marcel' was Marcel Bebris.......IE we need a caution to mix things up. F1 is no different.....just add Wine and Cheese.

Tamiya Peral clear over Tamiya Pure White....

I feel the changing of the rules on the last lap was in a way to make up for ignoring rules on lap one. On lap one Hamilton advanced his position by missing a turn and going ahead of Max. NORMAL rules are if you give the position back all is good. Hamilton kept the advance and Stewards did not call him on it. So to make up for that miss......they did a 'Even Steven' on the last lap. Did F1 create drama for the sake of it....YES....it's not called 'The Circus' for no reason! Just IMHO only....thx In keeping with a model car forum....Senna Lotus!

F1 had a number of issues this year that ALMOST made me stop following after more years than I care to admit. The F1 got what they wanted....a movie like ending with tons of drama.....not racing.....drama, After I saw the PSA where Hamilton was crying in the back of his $30M yacht about rain forest.....F1 is a show...not a racing series.

When Model King restored this tooling I sent my mint original kit to China for them to repro. When Round2 wanted to reissue the kit with Bobby Coke decals they contacted me for info. I told them I would do the artwork needed to reproduce the decals. I added to the original sheet so the builder could make a number of different versions Bobby drove. Thx

Looks good to me! Nice stance. I did the art for the kit decals....yet to be one!!!!

We hope!!!! But Dave/MK himself asked we not promise a ETA date....so I didn't. It is under way.....and will be nice!

A few........not any order....... Christmas vacation Christmas Story Scrooged It's a Wonderful Life Holiday Affair (sounds sappy but it's Robert Mitchum and Lionel Trains!!)

Model King does not have a website. I will keep info up to date as much as possible. Thx

TOP ALONE..............

MORE.......................

Round2 has a clear trailer kit. BUT it is only big enough for a small sedan......made to hold the MPC Ford Mark IV race car. I do not think ANY rail would fit in it.

Dave got the production box for his new Ford ramp kit. No ETA due to supply chain issues.......but coming ASAP!!!! Thanks
