Let me check upstairs and see if I have one with instructions. If yes, I can scan it for you. Some of the stash, though is already boxed as we get ready to move

Wrap the hose first with the strap and then assemble it. Don't trim to your liking until then. Their should have been simple instructions with it. Was it missing?

Hose clamps. You bend the short tee's over the long strap to give the effect of a locking mechanism.

Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland did this engine.

Okay. I went downstairs and made a quick check in the stash. Revell 70 Chevelle SS Motion Performance DOES NOT have the cowl induction air cleaner.AMT 70 Chevelle SS 454 does. I don't have the Jack Reacher issue, so can't tell you if it is there.Revell 69 Camaro BBC's (convertible or Yenko) have a cowl induction air cleaner but you will have to source the decal on the air cleaner from somewhere else.The Revell 69 Camaro Baldwin Motion BBC DOES NOT have the cowl induction air cleaner in the instructions but I did not check the parts trees to see if there

For all practical purposes, any BBC from 396 to 454 (and any strokers) look similar in scale. So good detail can be found in any of the Revell BBC later version BBC engines such as in the Camaros or 67 Corvette. The AMT 70 Monte Carlo or 67 Impala are also good. The big question is whether you are looking for an LS6 induction system, including the air cleaner.

Do you have a photo to reference what you are talking about?

In case you haven't come across this:

Then the answer is no. Even if rare, if it is in the stash it is intended to be built

Like several folks have already stated, I only buy what I intend to build (plus some for parts to use in other builds). But, my build rate has not kept up and I find when I periodically inventory the stash there are several that I have lost interest in. Hence, every so often I do a purge (sell at swap meets or donate to club raffles). I have considerably cut back my acquisition of new kits and focus on those of significant interest. I still have about 700 unbuilts in the stash (and that doesn't include the HO kits or wheel/tire sets).

His new bottles have seal at the top that, so far, has not resulted in any dry up. Time will tell, though

Probably the closest would be HD03-0079 from Hobby Design. At 18" in 1/24 they would be a little over 19" in 1/25

Depending on how close they match to the real truck, not much.

What are you talking about? Just select the brand and car and you get the schematics page. Click on a picture and you get a larger version. Save it or print it. http://www.eurospares.co.uk/parts/ferrari/testarossa-1990

Look up Eurospares. They have schematics on a whole stack of Ferraris. http://www.eurospares.co.uk/index.asp

I have used the same, air brushed, but on colors where the slight yellow tint would not be factor. I am looking into trying the Model Master Clear Lacquer as it goes over Testor Enamel and MAY work here as well.

I think that sums up view as well. I don't think I could add more to it

Boy I sure did. DOH!

Car Show Album...

No. It depends on what you are trying to accomplish with the model. If you have PowerPoint, there is a feature where you could do figure editing as well. The first step is to get a clean rendition of the image you want to capture/modify. The problem with the side image you show, is that it is not as perpendicular to the side as one would like to get better proportioning. It may result in a squat graphic because of the slight down angle of the shot. That is where you would need to tweak the graphic you're creating. Web graphic images are usually at 72 or 96 DPI equivalent resolutions. As you scale up, you will see pixilation. If you scale down, less so. Not having the model, the photo you have looks to be 75-80% of the actual car size. You would then be scaling up. You could also try masking the graphics and painting them on. The larger strip is less of an issue than the smaller scallops. Not trying to scare you off. I just don't know what quality of result you're going for, self model versus contest entry.

Uh! I don't recollect any 57 Nomad from Revell in 1/25. Only the Monogram 57 Nomad. There is the AMT 55 with which you cold put a Revell 56 Nomad Chassis under it with a little work. It has an opening hatch. There is the Revell 56 Nomad which is very nice, but no opening hatch. And there is the problematic 57 Nomad from Monogram in 1/24.

The problem with Photoshop and the method described is that the photo is a bitmap and is not "dead on" so proportioning is likely off. Bitmaps on a large graphic usually yield quite subpar results. Especially if the photo comes off the internet at relatively low res. If you have a high res photo, a bitmap could work. You would have to print a draft to size and decide. The best way to reproduce a simple graphic is to use a vector based drawing tool (Illustrator or CorelDraw) and start by "copying" the graphics and then finding a Pantone to RGB conversion guide to match the color as close as possible. After getting a rough shape, you should print a draft and fit to the model to tweak the shape. Be prepared for multiple attempts at this.

Removable as stated.

Okay. Couldn't get any photos but the new Bronco first version will be just like you could have gotten off the showroom floor with 289 V8, 4 Wheel drive and bench rear seat.
