I give up. What's in the box?

It can't hurt to ask resin casters if they would be interesyed in selling copies of your car body, and give you several copies as payment. I did that with an out of production drag car a while back.

Very nice, but why the unusual scale?

I couldn't find it. Can you post a link?

Good grief. After reading all of this, I don't blame Revell for not making an "official" request for our input.

No idea, but you can get a different liquid cement that is already about as thin as water. Get a can of MEK at the hardware store. It's a strong solvent, so use sparingly. I apply it with a tiny paintbrush. Don't use brushes like the type on the bottom of a cap. It will hold too much MEK. Test it first so you don't melt your prized kit parts.

Ah. I see you found the ModelMartin tire.

Wow, Bobber. You really had to do some searching to bring up a 6-year old thread. Check with Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland. Also check with a guy from this forum; ModelMartin. He has a company that makes resin parts and kits. At one time he offered a 300mm rear tire for the Revell chopper. It also had a wheel and parts to modify the frame and belt drive.

Uncle Potts: good guy. I got a pair of glue bomb 1/16 Revell Chevy Pickups for a sealed Heller Delahaye 135. I kinda feel guilty for that one. I'm going to offer him another kit.

Hmmm...Testors lacquer and meditation. Hard to argue with results.

I just traded for 2 stepside glue bombs. Just wondering if A fleetside bed was ever made.

Yeah they are really cool. At a model show in Austin, someone had a shadowbox diorama with a few of these inside. Dark box with UFOs that had lights. They were on/above a hillside in the desert. REALLY cool diorama.

Tell us about the paint. What brand, color, etc. Airbrushed or spray can?

Modelmartin/Aardvark Models resin Duesenberg "Mudd Coupe" conversion for the Monogram Duesenberg kits. I'm so excited to see ANYTHING aftermarket for a Duesenberg...but this car...wow. If Darth Vader had been around in the 1930s, he would have driven it. I just "bought it now" so I don't have pics yet, but here is the real car:

Mark Gustavson did, about 10-15 years ago. He may still have some. They were photoetched and needed to be soldered together. IMHO, a simpler solution would be to box the rails with sheet styrene, then drill holes and glue in some Evergreen styrene tubing.

You gonna scratchbuild the whole thing? Do you have a real Lotus 7?

10,000 firecrackers. 10 packs of 1,000 each. It's New Year's and my brother is back home from Washington state. We'll set them off simultaneously. I'll see if I can make a video and post it. Oh yeah- I also got a Jetsons spaceship off ebay. I just want it for the clear canopy. I want to build a Weesner-inspired hover car. Anybody want the leftovers? I'm just not into the Jetsons.

What's in the forground? It looks like hand rails from the Titanic...after being under water for 100 years.

(Slight hijack) That kit would be great as a greenhouse donor for a model of one of Keith Weesner's hovering cars. Now, for a bikini-clad pilot...

Sanitary T??? That's the name of a drain pipe fitting. LOL

Looked around and couldn't find anything definite. Thanks. Lee.

Finish something. Learn to use automotive lacquers. (This whole thing with Tamiya Clear being discontinued has really thrown a monkey wrench into my world. I bet I have 60 cans of Tamiya spray paint. :-( )

Plumber. My advice if you have a plumbing problem: call a plumber. :-P

Crazy airplanes, like a modern 2-seat jet fighter and pay someone to fly me around in it. Then I'd commission someone to build me a replica of Miss AshleyII. She was a racer with an all-new P-51 replica fuselga, Lear jey wings, and Rolls-Royce Griffon engine and contra props. Then I'd get really crazy and commission a replica TA-152H, a long-wing, high-altitude version of the FW-190. It would need a Jumo 213 engine (inverted V-12. A Merlin or Griffon just wouldn't look right) so I'd have some of those built, too. (Gotta let others in on the V-12 FW-190 fun). Then there's cars. Oh my, the cars. I think I would have a Duesenberg for a daily driver. A Figoni & Falaschi Delahaye or two, a Ferrari 275GTB, 288GTO, 512TR, 550 & 575 Maranello. Hmmm...some oddball stuff like a twin-supercharged Ferrari V-12 powered roadster; imagine '27 T meets '70s F-1 for the body. Induction setup would be like that old Ferrari-powered boat, but with an intercooler in the intake manifold. What else...what else? Ooh. Yeah- another oddball powerplant. This one inspired by the BRM H-16. Get a pair of cranks for the Hayabusa-based V-8 and build a 6 liter Hayabusa- based H-16 in a rear engine car that's '27 T meets early '60s F-1. Motorcycles...with oddball powerplants! A few years ago, a bike builder cut the transmission off a Honda CB550 engine and turned it sideways into a custom frame. It resembled an old Indian longitudinal inline-4. Do the same thing, but start with a CBX engine. Inline-6 chopper! Then, outdo Morbidelli. Build a bike with a 1.5liter V-12 and tiny bundle of snakes exhaust. EFI induction that looks like 6 tiny Webers. It would make the most incredible "tapocka,tapocka,tapocka" sound.

I've been getting hot rod and drag racing magazines from Australia and New Zealand for about 20 years now. They have used the term "dizzy" for "distributor" for a long time. It certainly could cross the ocean and get picked up in a few areas.
