The only ones I've purchased "just in case" are 2 Chase Elliott Chevy SS Nascar kits as I bought aftermarket decals without having the kits in hand. Figured I should make sure I get them on hand just in case. Anything else, well, like so many are fond of saying, plenty of kits in my stash.

Wow! I missed that Johan kit. Was the vendor for that one in the building? Pretty much the only place I remember seeing models.

Bill, there are 2 MCW's. Dave Dodge started off selling paint and then got into the resin business. He eventually sold off the paint business. I believe the one in Ohio is the new owner of the paint side and Dave is in N.C. selling resin.

I have to agree, Jonathan. I figured people would be saying it can only get better but if someone who doesn't get NASCAR gets theirs hands on it it could definitely be Be careful fo what you wish for.

No, not going to speculate. My hope is that, shortly after the confirmation of the sale tomorrow, the new owners make some sort of statement of their plans for Revell USA and what they are doing moving forward.

Yes, my 31 Town sedan was built in April 1931 and probably just missed being built with the indented firewall. They introduced the Indented firewall in April 31 and slowly converted all plants over to using it. Being a Canadian car it was likely closer to May before our Ford plants got it.

It was a feature on later 31 Model A's. Indented firewall. The gas shut off valve moved into this indentation from where it used to be inside the car.

I picked up one of the Rampside kits from Okey Spaulding at NNL East. It's a beautiful piece of work and Mike is to be commended for it. I look forward to what other items he produces after his move.

Back in my younger years I had an 81Ford Courier and an 86 Mazda B2000. Both were great little trucks and all I needed for what I do around the house here. Would not be able to justify driving around in a full size truck for all the times I would need it.

Honda is also developing hydrogen vehicles. I believe a Honda Clarity hydrogen powered car is already on sale in California as well. To me this is the way to go not all these electric cars.

Would Adam-12 and Dragnet qualify? Because they were among my favourites and they were about police work not all the useless interpersonal drama all these other shows have these days.

Thanks for showing your case set up with paint in it.

David, show it to us once you have it set up. Interested to see how it looks loaded up.

And it's governments pushing the self driving car nonsense. Even Consumer Reports (the purveyors of the nanny state) are telling the state and federal governments to slow down on the push for autonomous cars as the technology isn't ready for prime time yet.

Looking forward to it. Growing into a great show.

There was an article a few months back where Ford's new president said he was going to phase out all car lines. It seems he pretty much got his way.

Seconding the congrats on winning the Foose theme award at NNL East. Well deserved.

My issue of 205 finally showed up Friday. So happy and great issue. I see myself 3 times in the GSL coverage.

I know there is Tech Toys which is not far from the NNL East venue. I believe an RC shop but it also has a large model selection. Haven't been there in awhile but have recently seen someone recommending in another forum/Facebook (I forget where exactly).

Sorry we won't be seeing you there, Brian. Maybe next year.

Well, I've pretty much given up hope of seeing issue #205. Other people in our province received theirs around March 21st. Here we are almost a month later and no magazine so I guess someone in the post office really likes MCM.

Thanks for passing on this press release, Brett.

I don't necessarily have the pitchfork out for the germans but I agree with James as he said in his video that they were after Revell Germany and since the price was so low, they took the whole package. To me they did not want the extra expense so let's close down Revell USA as quick as we can (as in even before the deal is finalized). No waiting to have the deal finalized and then review what we have and then determine who stays and who goes. I agree we'll have to see what happens, hopefully, something good but it's a funny way to show you're at all interested in the North American market.

That's true, Jonathan, the ink hasn't dried yet and sale isn't final yet but they went and shut down Revell USA without even waiting for dry ink or finalized sale. To me that's what they care about the North American market..... Not at all....

Very sharp! Love seeing this era of car being built up as she may have been in the day. Kudos!
