  1. Very nice work....clean my fav! My wife's Dad bought one like this after WWII.......and she wants to paint our 46 Ford that color.........but not a hot rod color to me!
  2. Nice neat work!!! Is that what we called a 'Trail 50'?? We had a 50 and the bigger 'Trail 70' when we were kids.
  3. Today at my Ollie's they were un-boxing Revell 48 Ford Police cars, Revell Scooby Do van, Halo jeep thing and some die cast kits. The guy opening the boxes was friendly so I asked what happened ot he display they had last week.....ALL GONE!! the Revell Delta Dart planes, Mack Fire.....someone is buying. I asked if he had more models and he said not right now but they never know what comes in....they just open and put them out. I bought 2 48 as I have a real 46, a Van and a halo kit. $40 for 4 kits is OK!
  4. Here used as running boards......
  5. Tamiya ads colors all the time.....let's hope the end of MM means they look at more colors.
  6. Grandt line makes some really nice lattice in 1/48 scale I use in 1/25.....check it out.
  7. The Snoopy stuff will sell to people that do not build on a regular basis. I think Atlantis will do OK with them and HL will get 1800 each to start. The other news was there is another press release for next week.....so lets hope AND let Atlantis know what you want....I have!
  8. A little disappointed........but maybe generate cash to reissue things WE want!!!
  9. I LIKE!!!
  10. It was a one time gimmick Batmobile.......when Batman needed to escape through a narrow alley way the body side panels blew off and the wheels re tracked.....then our hero got through the narrow alley.....and we never see it again. But glad AMT did the kit......
  11. I'd buy a few!
  12. The King kit looks much better than my attempt!
  13. COVID will be the go to excuse for the next ten years....right or wrong.....
  14. Those are underrated kits. Looks good!!!!
  15. And 1973 was the last year for the non Gran Torino.....74 they were all Gran torion or Gran Torino Elite.....but no base Torino.
  16. Scanning the 1/24 body would be a good start on a new tool 1/25......I do not see the German owners seeing that as good ROI....but never know!
  17. Doubt the wood bucks are still around. Must were tossed or given away. Computer design is mandatory anyway.
  18. There are resin 73 GRAN TORINO noses for the 72 but that car is a 73 TORINO which is different.....but the Gran Torino resin would be a good start. I saw that car at Charlotte Motor Speedway back in the 1980's at a historic race.....cool car.
  19. Got my order....not KAT....oh well....great to have it back...I have plans for 2 at least.
  20. It should be at $31........
  21. I'd buy any of tjose!.......maybe not the Vette.....have enough of them! Maybe 2 per box MSRP of $20??? They'd sell a ton!
  22. I think you did well!!!!! Indycals are very good decals. I have been manufacturing decals for myself since the 1960's and commercially since 1983. They do need extra work around corners and edges. I use Walthers Solvaset as it is the strongest solvent out there. Walthers has made this cince the 1930'!!! Just for comparison here is my Revell Mustang with Indycals.....They went down well with warm damp paper towels and solvaset without issue. I did mess up a decal on a Porsche model and they sent a replacement right away. Thx
  23. I'll admit Revell is still on the slow road.....but my HL keeps getting current and newer Revell and selling out. I picked up the semi new Jeep and a few other on my recent trips. I think Revell is on the verge of getting on track....or close.
