  1. Wow. Interesting history. Even though most of the stillborn models aren't in my interest area, they would have been additions to the AMT line up. Thanks for sharing.
  2. AMT 67 Impala: AMT 69 Camaro: AMT 68 Camaro:
  3. I'm away from the stash right now, but A/C can be different things in different models. You may need to be more specific in your want. For example, the Revell 65-66 have GM/s compressor, etc. for the era. Same with other kits. Older A/C Delcos: And then there is the (I'll use the term) "generic piston type compressor used in Vintage Air type setups and OEM on some older vehicles The Foose FD-100 and, as already mentioned, Revell 32 Fords optional Ford V8 appear to have the latter (though I would have to get back home to check how accurate. The Revell Impalas with the BBC have the first pictured period type A/C compressor:
  4. Yes there were. I would have liked one of the two 812 Superfast's to follow me home. But, my wife said, my wallet wasn't big enough
  5. About 2 months ago, I fully expected to be going down to the Portland Roadster Show. But, plans changed. Still being back in the Chicago, I went down to the Ferrari Expo at Continental Motors in Hinsdale Illinois. There was no model contest this year, but quite a few vendors and, more importantly, quite a few “toys”. As the engines are an inseparable part of these works of art, I took detail photos where I could. If you are a modeler like me, these details help in getting the finishing touches.

  6. What Dave said. Tom is safe to deal with, gets orders out quickly and a generally good guy
  7. What about the new version AMT 62 catalina? Too short as well, I guess
  8. Since I am back in the Chicago area for one, final move related trip, I took time off to go to the World of Wheels show. Sadly, I didn’t have the time to get into the long line to greet and meet Dave Kindig, but the Blue Lincoln he did on the show is there as well. Just one of a stunning set of cars on display. Here is the link to the Flickr Photo Album of the show. Link to Flickr Photo Album...
  9. What garage would you be able to park that in? . Interesting
  10. SNOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
  11. Yes. This is the Penultimate show, and the next one the last.
  12. This is over Tamiya White fine primer.
  13. I have used their Aqua Gloss and it does work.
  14. The 320i from Revell was theirs, not Fujimi and has an engine. They did at least a standard and Alpina version. I built the Alpina some years back and the M3 coupe and standard sedan still in the moving box.
  15. Well, we got the first snowfall of the season overnight. Puget Sound got it much worse this time, but a winter wonderland out the back door. Another chance of some snow Friday night into Saturday, but can't fight Mother Nature.
  16. True. I should have left that one out of the list. I like the Fujimi kit the best, even over the MFH which I wound up selling because a club member really, really wanted it. These are the 250 GTO kits remaining in my stash
  17. Personally, I prefer the Huayra to the Zonda. I would prefer they invested into a Lamborghini Urus. Wouldn't that be an interesting kit on the shelf?
  18. Just at the end of that. Donated and sold/traded a little over a hundred and fifty. But, I still wound up moving about 700. There is a lot of time to do that. And packing and filtering what family goods to move took precedent. So the ones I will yet likely unload got moved. Looking at it as a new venue.
  19. I don't know if I can get more specific than 66-68. I'll look at the kit instructions tomorrow to see if there is any more differentiation. But doubt it.
  20. SABA had a show and tell session at the World of Speed Museum in Wilsonville Oregon. People stopped by to see our work and ask questions, and I traipsed into the museum and took some photos of current exhibits. Link to the Album...
  21. I have the engine and interior as well. As regards Fujimi Ferraris, I have all the Daytonas as well as others. Now to get the new "shop" organized and get building again
  22. Oh yes. I have the one you did such an EXCEPTIONAL job on, but wanted the performance version for my build.
  23. I agree. The F12 TdF has more panache in my opinion. As regards Italeri, these in my stash would be great to see reissued
  24. I think the Portofino is next as well, but he also has a 488 GTB coming soon. I suggested the GTC4/Lusso and 812 Superfast to him. I also mentioned the F12 TdF, but he thought it was too late for that.
