I probably wouldve realized the humorous aspect of it...if the agrieved party wasnt my own brother....

A " glitch " ???? That lasts two months ? The seller is being evasive...or just doesnt give a damn. As for " not liking " someone...sure...go ahead and take their money...and then dodge all inquiries. See how that works out for you....see how well you're "liked"... when word gets around.

I picked up 2 or 3 of these little Revell Highway Pioneers kits off eBay when I decided to dabble in 1/32 scale subjects. The wheel/tire pieces looked better than the ones I could source through the generally available Aurora & Pyro kits at that scale. Came in handy on a couple of builds...

R.I.P. Brian....and Thanks for all the great Tunes.

On again off again 1/25 scale Belly Tank project. Thanks go out to fellow MCM modeler Jim Lewis for his 3D Printed parts...I will try to do them justice....

I never owned an original of this extinct kit...I lucked out at a club auction a couple of years ago and bid $20.00 for a disassembled glue bomb in the original box...and after some careful restoration succeeded in saving it. It builds up pretty nice...for a 1966-67 kit.

Thanks Bob. Let us all know if you get that 3D version together...

Thanks Carl. I challenged myself to rescue that old glue bomb from certain death.

I did a restoration of a disassembled glue bomb of a kit I picked up for $20.00 at a club auction...but yours takes this long extinct kit to another level with those wire wheels. Well done.

Nice color ! Is that Tamiya...Mica Blue...or something else ?

I pretty much used Testors clear canopy glue for anchoring clear plastic pieces...and recently discovered a similar glue made by the Evergreen plastics people. I once used plain old Elmers white school glue to set the glass in a 23-window Revell VW van...and its still locked in place...years later.

Exactly...I tried the same thing with an ancient Aurora "Wolf Wagon" kit. ( trophies look out of scale...but the motor dropped right in...)

Hello Tim. Don't recall ever posting pics of this build of mine anywhere. I started it many many years ago after reading an informative series of articles in the '95 Plastic Fanatic magazine #'s 44-49 by Dan Harrison entitled "A Tale of Two Roadsters" in which he builds two projects based on AMT's popular '29 Model A kit...one a highboy drag car based on Hugh Tucker's formidable AA/ SR '28 Chevy...the other a channeled hot rod based on Dave Whitehead's show rod " The Jewel "...both featured in early 60's editions of Hot Rod magazine. It was a multi part build series that ended at Part 5 before the builds were completed ( perhaps due to a falling out between the writer and the publisher ) ...but being a recent returnee to the hobby back then I found the series immensely informative as far as kit bashing parts. Looking through my pages...the rear end treatment you mention is illustrated in Pts 1 & 2 of the series.
