    Any word on Revell or specifically the Model A Coupe?

    Back to Greg's original question....the '29A Roadster kit and '30A Five Window Coupe kit both share the same tool set. 

    The '29A Roadster is just a few weeks away from the hobby store shelves (the other model magazine posted a video review of the kit last week). 

    So....the tool set has either been repaired or restored (depending on whose version of the production interruption you chose to believe).  Thus, this would suggest to me that the '30 5W Coupe kit is ready to run when Revell decides to do so .  

    IIRC there was about a one year gap between the original '29A Roadster and '30A Five Window Coupe production starts, so if the same timing applies this time that would suggest that the 5W Coupe would be produced starting about this time next year (early 2021).  

    Like many of you, I am sure, i would have much preferred to see the '30A Coupe go down the molding line first this time, not the Roadster, but we are where we are.  At least we seem to have some implied level of certainty now that we will see the '30A Coupe eventually return to production, albeit later than we would like.  That's a much better outlook than before!

    Best...TIM 

    I asked Ed Sexton about the coupe specifically at the last NNL East. He answered without hesitation that it will be back. No date given however.

    really nice build- did you say the base kit isn't available anymore?

    I had a discussion with Ed Sexton at NNL East this past April. He indicated that Revell's '30 Ford coupe would be returning to the lineup at some future date. I would venture a guess that it might be some time next year. If you can wait don't go for those exhorbitant auction prices. The kit will be back.. 

    Read any good books lately?

    51WjdgfBfsL.jpgI do recommend our friend Rick Rothermel's "The One That Kills You". A really good read. And Michael Connelley's latest "Dark Sacred Night" has just been released. Let's face it, he's been doing it for over a quarter century and he is the master of the mystery novel.

    Harbor freight airbrush will not spray

    So I wasn't able to fix the problem although I have no clue what it was. I took it completely apart and gave it a good cleaning. I still wasn't getting any spray so I removed all of the teflon tape I put on with the intention on never using it again. I decided to try one more time and was able to spray water. So I hooked up some paint and got a very weak spray. Thinned my paint out a little and it finally worked. I was able to at least finish the body of the current gmc suburban I'm working on. Now it's off to the store tomorrow to get a new regulator so I don't have to spray at 50 psi lol. Thank you all for your help!!

    I used teflon tape on my regulator once and it leaked air. The old guy at the hobby shop hooked me up with regular bee's wax and it worked perfectly. There's nothing like the old fixes to do the job.

    Nellybelle

    It's funny but I have just recently been trying to track down Nellybelle. I found out it was bought by a woman who lives about 15 minutes from my home. At least a couple of years ago it was apparently on display at a local high end sports car dealership near me, but I was unaware of it. This is a great build, Dan. Did I see it a few years ago at GSL? Did your research disclose why it had the armor added to it? I know there was speculation that it was a WW II Navy surplus Jeep. Just curious.

    Hello all, I have now shipped all orders I got at NNL. The last ones were left to be shipped last Sunday. As I promised free shipping for the people who paid at the show, they were sent in Economy mail, which really isn't much slower than Priority mail. (and I'm not THAT nice a guy that I would offer tracked shipping for free...) Thank you for your patience, I hope you like what you get. If there are problems or questions, please feel free to contact me directly. You'll find my e-mail under Air-Trax page on this forum. I'm in Facebook too.

    My Maurader came yesterday. It is wonderful. Thank you for the fast shipping. And thank you for attending the show. Hope to see you there again one day.
