I wouldn't buy them in 1/32 scale, but if they were to resize them to 1/25 or 1/24 I'd buy the heck out of them. That Malibu police car especially. I've been wanting to do one of those as the baby blue 1979 9C1 Malibu that competed in the 1979 Cannonball race.

My favorites are the Monogram Exotics from the 70s. They made the Porsche 911 and 924, Datsun 260Z, Mercedes Benz 450SL, Ferrari 308 and others. Great curbside kits for the beginner and fun kits for the advanced modeler to relax with. I actually emailed Revell a couple years ago and got a fantastic response from the guy who designed them. They are mostly out of production, but the 911 shows up occasionally on the release lists.

I was by the local Michael's yesterday and they had the Escalade and for some reason they had 8 or 10 of the AMT1965 Ford Galaxy with the stock car option.

I would prefer the MPC Pinto as it's a better kit, but I'll take whatever I can get!

Great work!

Nice!

Cool idea!

My guess for most repopped kit would be the AMT 1953 Ford F100. It seems like that kit has always been on sale! Not that I'm complaining, I love it.

I always paint. For a white interior I would use Duplicolor White sandable without sanding it and then spray the appropriate shade of white over that.

I have used the less bright for the door trim and the ultra bright for the drip railing trim. I thought the contrast made for a more real effect.

I've not had much luck with it. It didn't stick well or burnish down well and the black coating started to come off.

I've been looking at that kit for a while but always put it back. Is it same one that came out in the 60s as the Empi Inch Pincher 2?

I try to collect Porsche kits.My LHS had the Revell of Germany issue of this last year and I missed out on buying it. It looks like this is a repackage of that kit and the price is great, made even better by the 40% off!

I went by Hobby Lobby to get some paint and of course had to pass by the model kits. This one surprised me, I wasn't expecting them to be getting the Porsche tractor. One followed me home to add to my Porsche collection.

The real ones are becoming expensive collector's items now. I wish I had bought one a couple years ago. Has anyone bought from Airtrax? What sort of payment do they use, CC or money order or PayPal?

It figures, I just got two of the D-50s this past year at a model show. LOL The Ranger, S-10 and all those seem to be no-brainers. The tooling is paid for and most likely is in good condition and those trucks and SUVs in 1:1 are starting to enter the nostalgia 'Oh-I-Had-One-Just-Like-It!' stage and people are starting to buy them to fix up. There was also an AMT S-10 Blazer in snap-tite that would be nice and Revell (I think) had a nice S-10 Syclone. AMT also had a nice Courier that I would like to see again. I would love to see the Chevy truck backdated to a 1967 and the Dodge van backdated to a 1972 or so with the window van option.

I'd watch that! As far as modern NASCAR, I wish they would either keep the chassis and use a stock body or provide each team with a body-in-white and have them build a car on that. I would also prefer they drop horsepower and speed by maybe 25% so they can actually race.

I emailed last week and haven't gotten a response. I'll keep trying. Thanks.

For my Cannonball project, I'm trying to buy some laptops and radar detectors. I found them from an eBay seller mali.steg, but when I go to pay it tells me, 'One or more sellers can't accept payments right now. Contact the sellers for help.' Has anyone run into this before? I was going to make them myself, but I don't think my eyes are quite up to that level of detail anymore.

So glad to hear about Ed Sexton. I built a 1/24 Monogram Chevy stepside up from some parts kits, I wonder if this is the same kit? Either way I'll be getting at least one more. The Baja Bandito is going to follow me home too!

Good work as usual! I have this kit painted in the same color waiting for a final burst of inspiration.

I just looked it up and they were indeed UCSP. They are excellent quality. Shipping took about 3 weeks and they were packed in a nice presentation box.

The man is an artist, I am a dabbler. Amazing!

I've put Krylon out in direct sun when the temperature was over 100 and it turned out really good, so I can see how it would work with a hair dryer. I do wonder if this trick might dry Rustoleum quicker as it seems to take forever to dry?
