Rhapsody is good, had it for years. I liked their system that recommended other music I might like based on what I was listening to. It turned me on to a lot of stuff I had never heard before. Spotify is also good.

I agree with W-409, I have always thought that A-Bones are just "tougher" looking, and make a better looking hot rod than the Deuce. I wish they were doing the coupe with a stock height roof though.

The difference is scale never entered into my decision to buy a Monogram kit.

Modelhaus sells an Olds grill too.

Olds and Pontiac both offered straight 8 engines and Chevy did not, so Chevy could make their cars a little bit shorter. I'm gonna stick an Olds grill from the Revell 48 Ford Custom on one of these anyway, even if it's wrong.

A NEW A-BONE! Alright, alright, alright! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB7ohVBBbVw

I ALWAYS use Microscale's Decal Film on ALL decals, no matter how old they are or who made them. http://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=MI-12&Category_Code=FINPROD&Product_Count=6

Yes Tye, only available from Auto World at the link above.

The new release of the Starsky and Hutch Torino has gotten me thinking about all the missed opportunities by the model companies over the years. If they had only made a kit of (insert the name of a famous car here) they could have sold millions of them. I'm sure Revell will sell plenty of the Starsky and Hutch car, but not nearly as many as they could have if they had made the kit when the show was a hit. Here's my list, starting with the most obvious one. Batmobile from Batman TV Series - 1966-1968 - 2011 - 45 years late I was eight years old when this show first came on, and ALL of the boys I knew watched it. We all had to get special dispensation to stay up late to watch it. And we ALL wanted a model of the car. And sorry, the 1/32 scale kit from Auroro doesn't count. Even back then no one wanted small scale stuff. Kookie Car from 77 Sunset Strip - 1958-1964 - never OK this series and the car began a little early for the plastic model car hobby, and the show was really was for adults, but the car was cool enough to be on kids radar. I've always been surprised that no one ever even did a set of similar decals. It would have made a pretty good tie-in with some of the T-bucket kits over the years. Steve's 1958 Chevy Impala from American Graffiti Not really a missed opportunity, since AMT has had a 1958 Impala forever, but how about a tie-in with some decals and custom parts to make the car in the movie? Starsky and Hutch Torino - 1975-1979 - 2014 - 39 years late This one I can kind of understand, since the show came out right in the middle of the two OPEC oil embargoes, and prices on plastic model kits basically doubled and even tripled, and the model car hobby suffered because of that. And there is evidence that this new kit was originally intended to tie in with the recent movie. But that's still almost 40 years late in my book. Tucker when the movie came out - 1988 - never This one is a stretch, but the Tucker has always been one of those cars that people have asked to see in model kit form. Probably too late for this one. So, what missed opportunities have you seen over the years?

I'm into racing planes, and there are more kits for racing planes in balsa than plastic, so yes. I have two hanging from my office ceiling - The Jeep and Miss Los Angeles. And I have a balsa & tissue Wright Brothers plane hanging in the living room.

Wicked Pissa! Love the paint. I don't need to know the secrets behind it, it's just nice.

I just finished reading this from the beginning and all I can say is... Wicked Pissa! And after seeing what you are going through, I now know for sure that I will never build a Pocher kit. My PTSD could never stand the stress.
