NOT dumping on HPI.......BUT saying that bent A pillars are normal and nothing can be done to keep it from happening is WRONG. My old Monogram issue of the kit has good A pillars!!!! At $60+ I expect a good product. IF I buy the Revell issue of it and has bent A pillars it goes back!!!

Big Lots did model dumps years ago. I got the IH Payhauler 350 there years ago for $20 which at the time was just OK

R2 has been selling slot car (truck) set there for over a year. Make sense they would add kits to the slot car sets. The sets sell out fast so I am sure there are more coming. My neighbor does most to the ground prep work for Love's and the owner has a vacation cabin near us.....

Mad Max Falcon #1 Blade Runner Spinner #2 (really all the BR vehicles)

Many of the needed parts are there........I bought the 'extra' parts in resin so I'd say yes!

Very cool build!!! My grandfather had a number of AMC wagons....last one was a 'coffin nose'!

Those statements do not keep me watching or from watching.....but his content is not so fantastic that negative comments go un-noticed. And with Thousands of model building chammels....to each his own!!

I watch HPI unbox on every video and then bail. The negativity towards him comes from. I FEEL, comments like 'Yes there is a lot of flash...but if you can't handle it go back to Mom's basement'. He has a number of like sayings and it turns off many. More ower to him.

Kinda interesting kit. I think AMT did box the car....the trailer and van are newer tooling.

REALLY NICE WORK!!!! My favorite era of F1 and one of my favorite teams!! I have the IRATANI version kit but yet to build! Thanks

I have a number of YouTube model videos over there. I do not do How To as I figure there are plenty of those already and most of us know how to bild. I may mention how I did something.....but no ste by step. Plus mine are ALL under 5 minutes so you don't spend a day watch. I look at it as sharing your work, like we do here, in a different format. Thanks https://www.youtube.com/@davevan8864

Fantastic build!!!! Neat, clean and great paint. I love movie cars!! I am a little bias owning a real 46 Fat Ford!!!

I hope all of you have a great Christmas. We are staying home with my oldest and family coming TUE and we will have a quiet 25th. Thanks to all for the fun, inspiration and help this year. God bless you and yours. West Virginia in the Caddy rather than a sleigh!!

Not sure asking for $ is even allowed.......'d ask postmaster

Thanks all!!! These bankruptcy era AMT kits were designed by John Bogosian.

Little update on my post above........ The one package took 7 days to get the final 100 miles. Another package took THREE days to get here from Los Angles, CA to WV 3000k MILES There is ZERO logic thx

Thanks Sir!

Another one of Showrod model history is up. Like and sib if you can Thanks

RIP Fred.......

My latest with some news........ I ordered a model part, it shipped from Mexico. I figured it would take a while. After only one week it showed up in New York Dist center. WOW.... It has now been sitting in Charleston WV dist center since Friday......arriving and departing gaily but not really going the last 100 miles to my house. Kinda SOP....sitting for a week is common now with USPS. But I get a e-mail from Squadron Hobbies today......They will no longer use USPS for ANYTHING. Per a memo on their site USPS is having major system problems at hubs......so they just sit on packages for a week......some have been sitting 2 weeks. Total failure that if they bank I worked for did this, computer outage for more than 3 hours, we'd be shutdown and taken over. FYI

My build of AMT L'il Yeller is up.....with a small twist. Thanks

I do the same on both......

My other hobby of O scale 3r layout. These are old AHM cars I rebuild. Thanks https://youtu.be/FlC_f8nC3_U

That is COOL!! I've thought about doing my own of some lesser known racers.

Forgot I had this one. Pulled it from my vault (basement) Never took photos or shown before. Revell kit box stock other than stance adjustment and after market decals. Tamiya paint. Thanks...like sub if you can
