  1. You can't beat a "trip" to Happy Hobby. They're how I imagine a hobby store in Mexico.Can't decide on which one is craziest.
  2. In 1/25, 1mm roughly equals 1 inch in 1:1. Also 1mm = 0.040" (0,03937"). Therefore, a 1/2 inch line = .5mm or 0.20". A fitting that needs a 1 inch wrench would be 1mm or 0.04".

    Santa's Ride

    Way cool and original.
  4. How about answering Greg's question? Which kits include OHC engines?
  5. Try that shrink wrap that home improvement stores sell to cut drafts on windows. It's made to use with a hair dryer.
  6. Ford OHC engines are found in any '96 and newer Mustang kit. Chevy OHC engines can be found in '90-'95 ZR1 Corvette and '39 Wagon Rod kits. Old style Chrysler Hemi OHC engines can be found in the '70 Super Bee Pro Street.
  7. There are a lot of variables here. 1. Silicone is not cheap. Just ask your girlfriend. A mold will cost between $50-100 just in materials. 2. How many do you want? One for yourself? Several? Are you planning on selling them? Can the mold maker sell them in exchange for labor? 3. Are you going to pay for the mold and labor? Can the mold maker keep the mold and exclusive rights to it in exchange for materials and labor? When you know the answer to these questions, PM me.
  8. Don't like them tail lights at all, no sir. And who in hello thinks the latest gen Camero is good looking, much less inspiring?
  9. Don't care how big it is, it's too small.
  10. Model Empire sells these... D-2 “The Directory of Model Car Kits & Price Guide”-1/48, 1/43, 1/32, 1/20,1/16,1/12,1/8 14.99 D-5 “The Directory of Model Car Kits & Price Guide” - 1/24-1/25 sc kits - 5TH Ed. - Coulter & Shelton 25.99
  11. Both JoHan and Palmer made kits of the Toro between '66-'70. Of course the JoHans are better. Very nice powertrain, suspension, and chassis detail.
  12. That is nice.
  13. I refill my Tenax and Ambroid bottles with Sunnyside brand methyl ethyl keytone (MEK) bought at a home improvement store.
  14. Would AMT/ERTL lie to us? It sure does look like the ZF.
  15. What would I use to thin Tamiya clear colors to use in an air brush? Are these acrylic or lacquer? Finally, what can I clear it with?
  16. The instructions say the trans is a Borg-Warner manual 5-speed.
  17. That engine and trans are also in the '39 Wagon Rod kit, but it has different exhaust manifolds. That 4-cam, 32-valve "Chevy" engine was designed by Lotus and manufactured by Outboard Marine.
  18. Appreciate the offer. Are your candies available in jars or rattle cans?
  19. Do you start at the front and work back, or back and work forward towards the bottom of the fire?
  20. Are the tire sizes for the Fireball, Aces Wild , and HighRoller cycles the same? What are the wheel and tire sizes? TIA
  21. Are they still in business? Does anybody know of a current way to contact AirTrax? I have been leaving e-mails and pm's all over the internet to no avail. I am looking for a Volvo P1800 coupe and some Ferrari kits. If anyone has one available, please contact me.
  22. Very, very nice. Original and clean.
  23. Where did you get the turbo set up? PM sent.
  24. 1. Never heard of them. 2. This was built three years ago. 3. I have complete control over what flashes, when it flashes, and how it flashes. 4. Costs about 75 cents. $7 with 12 lights.
