A pair of these. Mine are used. One is missing all the r/c gear. That's OK, it would get thrown out, anyway. Now I need to find 1/6 scale '56 Packard tail lights.

Afterburner?

Another guess- it's the same reason we don't see many 1/48 scale cars. It's half the size an already popular scale. Not many people want to put a motorcycle next to a car/in a pickup bed. Just like there are not many people who want to put a car next to an airplane.

And lots of nail polish.

There's an article about having your next project designed by a pro, with several automotive artists and their work featured. can someone tell me who the artists are? I've ordered the backissue, but of course I can't wait that long. Thanks. Lee

I saw what appeared to be a 2015 Mustang commercial being filmed in Austin this morning. A black Porsche SUV with a giant boom supporting a camera off the back end, filming a candy red Mustang up and down Congress Blvd. There were motorcycle cops halting g traffic at intersections...well, guys on motorcycles, anyway. Maybe not cops. It would be cool to see Austin in a tv commercial for the new 'Stang. I'll have to watch for it. Oh yeah- that red paint...wow!

It was a rambling, nonsensical, profanity-filled rant that went into international politics and people asking him for free model parts. Possibly fueled by drugs or alcohol. It was a hoot.

What in the wide, wide world of sports is a-goin' on here???

Well, Tony, one day there may be batteries that can take a charge faster and hold more energy, greatly extending the range and offering faster charges.

Yeah, but FM radio in the Austin area is terrible. I really want to get Sirius in my work van again. I like oldies and classic rock. Austin has neither on the radio. It's really bad before 10am, with the morning shows. I just want to hear some music. ...oh yeah I also have shirts with long tails, and keep them tucked in.

Maybe airbrush a solvent onto the "glass". Something like acetone or Testors paint thinner. I've gotten paint thinner on kit windows and it looked foggy, but that was a spill, not a precise application.

What's the diorama? I saw one a long time ago that had a car with fogged up windows. The only thing visible inside the car was a bra on the rear package shelf and a guy looking out of a cleared off spot on a back window. A policeman was standing at that window. The diorama was called "Debbie-it's your daddy"

I've never seen the movie, but I found out that one of the opening scenes was filmed in a cemetery that's maybe a mile from my house. I drive by it every day. Just ten years ago, this area was sort of "in the sticks". I can only imagine what it was like in 1974. There's a prominent grave with a Roman column in one scene. It is for a man who died in 1865. I found this present-day photo online: Across the road is a strip center. The red letters at the left of it are for Smokey Mo's, a local BBQ chain. That whole strip center is only 4 or 5 years old. It was an interesting bit of trivia I heard on NPR while driving home.

Two different incidents. Saw a fender-bender today. The car blocking three lanes was another day, no accident...but boy, if I had an M923 5-ton truck...and I would LOVE to have one of those. No practical use for it, but I drove one in the Army one summer. I really like that truck.

This rant is about people exiting a gas station or other business onto a busy street. Incident happened about 30 minutes ago. Gas station at a big intersection; 5 lanes north and south, 3 lanes east and west. A driver exited into northbound traffic at a red light, and tried to get into a westbound turn lane. With very little space and time to pull this off, only the bumper was in the turn lane, between two vehicles...the rest of the car blocking my lane. I thought about just laying on the horn, but decided not to. When the light turned green, everybody moved forward. Two cars now damaged. I started to drive around the car blocking my lane...then the driver swerved right, nearly causing a second collision. I should have honked. Maybe it would have brought one or both of the other drivers out of their trance. Any time I see someone who obviously wants to go all the way across a big intersection, I NEVER yield for them. I don't want to wait while they block 3 lanes. Yes, I saw someone block that many lanes. They were in some 1970s land yacht. Here's the radical advice: if you have no good options for exiting that gas station, go to a different gas station. (Or take the safe, but inconvenient exit) Yeah, that requires thinking ahead, but it beats getting in to an accident.

My spam folder lets me see the first line without opening it. Apparently, some chick named Adrianna is having trouble reaching me on Facebook...several times a week.

You and me both, but oh boy, you should have been here when Tamiya released their Aston Martin without a complete engine. Lack of an engine apparently broke a bunch of people's legs AND picked their pockets.

I'm a plumber. Right now I'm getting my butt kicked by a 51 year old tub/shower valve. No water was getting to the shower head. I tried to unthread the pipe between the valve and shower head, but it broke, leaving threads inside the valve. If I can remove the bits of threads left in there and avoid replacing the entire valve, I'll save this family a few hundred dollars. Not sure it will work, but I'm making the effort.

I got the 2015 Mustang for my nephew on his 8th birthday. It goes together easily and is more robust than most models. It can be a toy when finished. IMHO, a pretty good idea for an intro to models for youngsters. Maybe a second or third snap kit could be Revell's Acura NSX from around 20 years ago. It got great reviews.

Precious Metal. Griffon engine Mustang.

Miss Ashley II. (I wish). I would love to see High Planes do that in 1/48. Somewhere around here is a Monogram P-51D with a Hasegawa Lear Jet wing and an Airfix Seafire 47 nose.

FYI- Tamiya's F-51D (Korean War box/shark mouth markings) has uncuffed prop blades. Nice work. I love those hot rod warbirds.

Try the "ignore" feature.

Some brand other than Kellogg's Rice Crispies?? Hijack- look up Alton Brown's healthy remake of rice crispie treats. He uses puffed brown rice and adds dried fruit and almonds. They are awesome...but puffed brown rice can be hard to find.

I don't know what scale your Pro/Mod Camaro is, but I bought a pair of TDR turbos sized for a 1/6 motorcycle and they look great
