Tamiya has an aftermarket 1/6 scale chain. It’s their part number 12674. They have a 1/12 scale set that includes sprockets, but it is apparently out of production.
Here’s a link for the 1/6 chainhttps://www.tamiya.com/english/products/12633/index.html
I may have some spare Monogram Mack truck parts. I can check if you want.

Gears or sprockets? There are aftermarket chains for motorcycle models.
The old Monogram Mack truck has a chain drive rear axle. Maybe the parts from it could work.

Looking for a good deal on a Hindenburg. Missing nacelles, vertical and horizontal stabilizers, and gondola OK. I just need the airframe.
Thanks -

Not me. I'm not big on video anyway unless it needs to be seen and heard. There are many news or sports stories I want to "read" but it is only a video so I skip it.
Besides, I get more of a kick reading the comments here and probably more knowledge about the subject from you guys than wasting my time with the video.
Same here. I skip videos about people’s models. Just post some pics and a description.

If I hear the AI voice on an internet video, I block the account. Anyone who can’t be bothered to get a human to narrate their video is a lazy waste of oxygen. I also block accounts with posts showing one car or plane or whatever, but talking about another. They do that intentionally, to get views and replies. Also a waste of oxygen. Facebook and Instagram are quickly becoming a waste of time. Too much fake baloney. Ugh…the videos with someone finding a newborn kangaroo and raising it. Yeah, the size of a pinto bean and raising that. Video of 5 different kangaroos. Waste of oxygen.

Would a Monogram 1964 GTO or AMT 1962 Catalina roof work? I may have one of those in the stash.
Edit: I did a search and these are not Y-bodies.

I bought some Bewitched and Green Acres DVDs. Everyone looks like they gained 100 pounds. I would guess it’s a result of making the image fit a 16:9 screen. Is there a way to restore the picture?
Mr. Douglas flying a P-51 Mustang was a surprise. Bailing out was, too. Well, I’m sure the bail out part was government footage.
Thanks.

When this kit was in production, I saw several at Michael’s and Hobby Lobby. All had been opened and the bicycle stolen. Some people…raised. by. wolves.

Replied to PM. Will try to send it tomorrow.
-
I love the car but the bicycle is just not my cup of tea. I don’t need anything for it. Just help someone else out when you can. Post “I’ll take it” here, then send a PM with your info.

For $800, I'd be sorely tempted to get a 1/32 P-51 and modify it myself.
The decals are made by Draw Decals and still available. IIRC. I’m tempted to do it in 1/24 or 1/18

Forgive the slight hijack, but on another forum there was a discussion about the then new Fujimi 250 GTO vs the old Protar. I mentioned that the Protar was not so bad, and had a nice engine. Another poster referred to me as an “apologist”. I mean GEE, it’s not like the Protar kit tried to exterminate other GTO kits.

I’m sorry for your loss. A good pet is like family. Take solace in knowing you gave her a good life.

The winning bid was hundreds of dollars more than mine. I’m actually glad my bid didn’t win. I bid way too much.

. . . and looking at the bid history, it was won by one of the 2 snipers who both bid few seconds before the auction ended. As I expected.
Back in the days where any eBay user could contact another one, I used to get angry messages from the other bidders when I won an item by sniping. I found them amusing.
I had wanted a Tamiya 1/12 Lola T-70 for a long time. I kept bidding, but never won. I got a message from a guy in Australia who offered to sell me one for a good price. It was all legit; he put it in a Buy It Now listing and I finally got a grail kit.

I thought I had deleted this before posting. It seems a bit awkward and rambling.
Anyway- it was a resin model of the “Red Baron” P-51 (“RB-51”) Mustang. The real plane was heavily modified, including a Rolls-Royce Griffon V-12 with a displacement of 2240ci. The model was made by Fisher Model and Pattern Works. The company went out of business when Jerry Fisher’s house burned down a few years ago.
It sold for $778.96, a LOT more than my bid.

This guy is on Facebook as “Jo Schmocan”. He has offered to do custom printing since Shapeways went out of business.
-
If you want to get rid of the pro/street chassis, I’m interested.
-
I wonder what those wheels cost? That’s pretty wild.

I understand the proxy bidding. I once bid $225.00 on an Etzel’s Speed Classics Stutz Blackhawk LSR. Thankfully I got it for about a third of that. Such a cool car.
This current item is so cool, I may bid more.
-
I mean, I put in just about the most I would pay for something so rare and so cool, but No one has outbid me yet, which is a huge surprise. I don’t really need to spend that money, but man it would be a coup to win that auction.

Drag car from New Zealand about 30 years ago. May still be around, not sure. It raced in the “Wild Bunch” class. Sort of like Pro Mod.

Ferrari 330 p4 engine 1/24 scale
in Wanted!

Best Balsa says they have it in stock.
Texas 3D customs has a 412P engine. I have no idea if it is similar enough. I can tell that Charles is a guru at 3D printing.
