Thanks for the heads up Rob & Luke.

Luke, I'm curious for a non Aussie, what's the difference between the LC & the LJ? At first I was thinking one was a V8 model and the other a 6 but that appears not to be the case.

Yes, it does look like a nice build. Interesting that part 23 contains the front axle but only part of the front springs.

George, NNL East is a one day show. Whatever information here is all we get for now until either company decides to share more with us.

Interesting. The illustration gives 3 cars from 3 states, New York, Ohio and Michigan and yet if the running boards are GAZ specific then the car will be incorrect for any American version. Bit of an oops on their part for Lord knows there is plenty of reference material on the web to be able to create North American version of the Model A. On the other hand I still look forward to this kit and any others they decide to do.

What a beautiful Model A. Get her out, cleaned up, get the old flat head fired up, adjust the brakes and head on down the road.

It’s interesting that the illustration shows North American rubber running boards but the prototype pictures show the GAZ style metal running boards as has been discussed here previously. Hoping that the actual model has the rubber style board.

If you check out Gaahleri.com you can find out about their line of airbrushes. They now have a distributor for Europe, I believe. Chinese made. New company that introduced itself last year. I've only used their base model trigger brush so far but I quite like it and the Swallowtail is supposed to be a better brush.

Welcome Michael!

Well, like most of my fellow Canadian model car builders, I'm in!

Arrived in Central Ontario yesterday. Great issue, guys!

That’s what I posted back on Friday but thanks for confirming that there is nothing close.

Looking at PaintRef.com, I can’t find anything close to those colours. I checked 30, 31 & 32 and there’s nothing close. It’s probably more than likely it was whatever coloured plastic pellets Monogram decided to throw in the hopper.

The resin kits that were available in the 90's and early 2000's were nearly all yellow coloured. I don't know if it was a result of the resin available at the the time or if it was tinted but I remember being amazed when white resin that looked like plastic kit pieces first started coming out because I'd never seen anything like that before.

What head does he have on that engine? I have a Brumfield head on mine but it's indistinguishable from stock. That cool head is definitely different.

Hobby shop here in Ontario, Canada has announced today that they received their shipment of 60 & 63 pickups today.

A number of years ago, we held a yard sale. The day before I kept checking every weather report I could and each and every one of them said sunny and not a drop of rain all day. So I didn't dig out any tarps or anything. Of course it started to rain. I said: "Don't worry all the weather forecasters said sunny all day so this is temporary.". After 15 minutes I was scrambling for tarps as there was no end in sight. It rained for over 2 hours. I was so mad. How could all of them miss a system that could dump that much rain?

At one hobby shop here in Ontario, Canada the kit was on the shelf for 80+ dollars. There had been no interest and still no interest after being reduced to $65 dollars to get rid of them. Most modellers comments apparently have been too toy like for that kind of money but I'm sure Bond collectors will snap them up which is what, I'm sure, Revell is counting on. Hoping for a stock version in the near future.

It looks like they're selling it as either an up top version or with the top down version. Either way I'll be getting one (or maybe both).

I guess they figured they had to come up with something uglier than the Cyber Truck.

Absolutely beautiful Midnight Purple R34 Skyline, Scott!

That is one cool clean R34 Skyline, Scott. Kudos!

You might want to search for online shops that sell to the Gundam building crowd. They tend to use paints other than what we're used to and often have Mr Color etc. Best if you search for say MR Color or Mr Aqueous rather than Gunze Sangyo as hardly anybody knows it by that name anymore.

Beautiful Thunderbird! 59 is my favourite year of T-Bird and yours looks great in Indian Turquoise.

Beautiful build of the Packard! Love the colour combination.
