  1. A Russian Sports Car for real ? How does it measure up ? Amazing what Capitolism will lead to . Thanx ..
  2. Hello . The Red Line Wide Ovals were F-70 X14 . The most widely applied on Factory muscle Cars in the '60-'70's . The '70's Replacement Tires is the 78 Series . No matter what make . Now , what does a '68-'72 A Body supposed to mean to a Non-GM enthusiast ? The 78 Series replaced the 70 Series as not a fully Performance tire . The 78 gave some of this for ride . My '70 Javelin OEM tire size was E70 X 14 with 6 cyl . Mine had a V/8 and equipped with F70 X 14 . The '69 Charger I owned had 8.25 x 14 . F70 X 14 and G70 X 14 was next upgrade . The G70 X 15 was the tire on Hemi Equipped Cars . My '65 Mustang was shod with F70 X 14 . '64 GTO's and 442 Olds , F70 X 14 as the '65 Buick Skylark and Chevelle . The same for '65 - '69 MY . I could go on . I fixed and sold tires at a real Service Station during '65 - '66 - '67 . I did not miss a New Car Introduction until 1975 MY. I could go on .... Plaese make these F70 x 14 . I will buy and build my pile of muscle Cars . Thanx ..
  3. Like the Dinosoar Cartoon in the past , "not the Mama !" I say "Not the Studebaker" ... I give up . Thanx ..
  4. If it works don't fix it . The Business is run by a very few People . Family run as is many others . I wouild rather spend time buying from a catalog or online . If I don't know who I am buying from , I check it out , somewhere , like here . As with Replicas and minatures , a Phone call is quite reasonable . Don & Carol uswed to do the same . Phone calls did expanded to Eamil and a Website . I am Status quo for this Caster and some others . This is the reason for this site and other sites like this . Word of Mouth Advertising is best anyway . Not everyone is the same . I sure am an individual . Thanx ..
  5. A '39/'40 Mercury (pictured above) , Lincoln Zephers , '35 , '37 , + '38 Fords . More Chevies , Pontiacs , and MoPars . Studebaker Land Cruisers ('34 + '35) . Fixing the Pryo Trio with the right details . The Grams and Hupmobiles made from Cord Dies I see as doable . How about the correct Factory Stock parts for all those "ROD only" Revelle / Monogram messes . I am not liking being excluded from some Great and not so Great Vehicles . I would build and buy more Art Deco if available . I am being realistic as the Investment /risk for a non selling Resin wolud be drastic . I agree with all the above . Sigh ; alas , take what you can get . Thanx ..
  6. I am a believer this a Model . My reasons I will not share ..lol.. Thanx ..
  7. Yes , this is a score . As S.C. Miller was one of the original 5 Casters . Slush Cast . Some Modelers have had the talent to thin these down in the right places to make these Curbside with Interiors and glass . Good purchase of a piece of History . S.C. Miller was a prolific Caster . I just regret not haveing more than one of his works . Thanx ..
  8. I must give accolades again to Calanaga Castings . I am happy with my Boat Jet Drive .. Thanx ..
  9. Any thing AMC I don't have ; yes . Firebird maybe . i'll have to check on my unbuilt Firebird Doners . Did you know what , my Spell Check told me the three last words are misspelled ? You should see the suggestions . BTW , it is constantly telling me my last name is spelled wrong ! Yhanx ..
  10. John , I have to say ; I am not on this part often . I noticed '31 Nash . So when I arrive ? Here I am wondering how did Harry's real or model end up here ? I did recognize the MoPar "Ranchero" . I would like it better with an AMC 401 instead of an Olds I must say . Just right and a wowser ! Thanx ..
  11. I also am sorry for your loss . God Bless .. Thanx ..
  12. IMHO : It would not look good very long without those Bumperetts ! I knew I saw this before . It was possibly the Sabre Edition . Thanx again Harry and You all for this .
  13. I've seen this before and I know I'll be kicking myself in a couple of days ...
  14. Now that we are talking "hen's teeth" and impossible to get : The Aurora '34 Ford Double kit has an Unchopped 5 Window Coupe in it . Aslo try a resin search on <rocketfin.com> for what you seek . Thanx ..
  15. I've found Brake Fluid tends to warp / misshape resin pieces . I don't recommend this course of action to remove paint . IMHO ; the parts you save may be your own . Thanx ..
  16. I know you got me again . Thank you Harry for the mind exercise .. Thanx ..
  17. Promolite makes / sells a '50 Pontiac sedan . Not Torpedo though . Thanx ..
  18. It is a real early Model 911 Porsche . Alas , this is a model . Thanx ..
  19. I suggest sealing both sides of the wood . I am stuck on a Balsa Wood & Stick Stenson SR 7 (in 1/24 scale) due to warpage . The wings are immense . I cannot get them covered as they warp quickly . Time to seal the Stringers , edges . formers . Just Aircraft Speak for the wing framing less the skin . I would use basswood , I just cannot get enough here to do the wings . Thanx ..
  20. Drool , this is on my list down the Road ... Thanx ..
  21. I did all of my visual inspection of this Image . The Cadillac seen here is a Model . This is my professional opinion and I stake my Reputation on it being a Model ! That's final ! Thanx ..
  22. If all of you want to complain about No Pics ? Why don't you offer to post pics for Modelhaus ? A solution is always more useful than criticism . I would rather they provide us with quality and the quantity of parts that are flawless . I've been a Customer since the beginning . I have no problem with No pics . I've never been let down . I have cast some parts myself . It is time consuming , so is posting Pics . I am happy with their decision . Thanx ..
  23. The Monogram 1/24 Scale '37 Ford Sedan is the only kit beside the Variations of Coupe and Roadster . You will need to scratch build from the cowl back . A quite possible conversion . Don't look for anything Stock from Revelle-Monogram ever . Their MO is if ever a Factory Stock is released by them it is re-popped as a Modified Vehilce . Never to see the light of day as Factory Stock . Would you like some examples ?? Thanx ..
