  1. I believe that the Dodge Fratzog decals come with Fireballs Dodge dog dish caps and you can use those for your wheel centers.
  2. I'm not really "tech" savvy but my better half is and she had set up my Bluetooth for me.
  3. I have Bluetooth in my truck and really like the "hands free" calling/answering.
  4. You don't like Testors Model Master Sublime Green?
  5. I loved that commercial as since when is your phone more important than what's on the road YOU'RE on at any given time?
  6. Nice paint rack, and it looks very handy.
  7. I've been using regular 3M tan masking tape for years to hold parts onto the end of a ruler, paint stir stick, close pin, etc. and never experienced any residue left on the parts.
  8. It is SO right to have our own opinions and feelings about certain model kits, and how much or how little we care about correcting the inaccuracies. This is a hobby and to me should not be like work, where one has to be there, has to sweat, has to get it done, etc. Enjoy the hobby in the way you know best.
  9. I truly believe that someone would find fault with ANY model kit. In the beginning the promos that were given to possible buyers of the real car were supposed to be a "likeness" of the real thing and not an EXACT replica. Then came the 3 in 1 kits that were for the enjoyment of kids, both pre-teens and teenagers. As the years went by the model car kits got better to some extent but were never claimed to be 100% accurate. In order for a kit to be 100% accurate it would cost thousands of dollars more to engineer and tool and the kits themselves would be too pricey to market and for the manufacturers to come out ahead. So we have what we have and I personally enjoy model car building and don't lose any sleep over whether the kit is 100% accurate, and I don't want to build my kits at the level either. It's a hobby and supposed to be FUN and I don't want to spend years of my time making this kit or that kit an EXACT replica.
  10. Is AMT supposed to re-issue their livestock trailer this year, or no? tia
  11. I really don't have any room for a dehydrator and I use the old tried and true method of air drying, and it still works after all these years.
  12. I so remember collecting empty soda bottles and returning them to the store for "candy money" back in Chicago in the 50's.
  13. You should be and consider it a blessing as a LOT of people don't even reach the age of 51.
