I’m getting old. I read the thread title and thought “There’s no such thing as a 1921 Dodge Charger”.

Got the answer

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. https://www.bestbalsakits.com/tamiya/tamiya-detail.asp?kitnumber=902 https://tx3dcustoms.com/products/1969-ferrari-312p

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 chain https://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

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.

That is wild.

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.

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.

…but gosh I sure did want it.

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. https://custom3dscalecreations.com/ https://m.facebook.com/groups/675181667129250/

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.
