possibly to keep the cap from popping back off after it's put on? there could be a circumstance where it could happen, I suppose

if you can find an Italeri Opel Blitz you could kitbash the frames together and get a fair-ish representation....

if past experience is anything to gauge future performance, a "California Wheels" version would be next

40 million interweb bucks, easy

timely and well done!

sedans regularly get sacrificed as donor cars for convertibles. I've seen several excellent condition sedans that were carved up to save a clapped-out ragtop.

Bill, why not make a mold of the top and copy it? Miles ahead of cutting up unobtainium!

excellent kit. I was gifted a prepainted purple one and repainted it black, left the interior white.

bwuhahahaha

I like the concept and applaud the workmanship. Pretty neat survivor.

dang, it did. so much stuff in the box I missed them!

That shouldn't be hard to do with the log manifold from the reissued '53 F100 kit, a little sanding and cutting and Bob's your uncle. I have two DD kits in various stages of build, including one with the dual blower setup from the '53 Studebaker in the Fiat coupe...

I can honestly say that I might have built one like that in my early days; everybody has to start SOMEWHERE..

very nice

they need to add those back to the kit... wicked

no.

This is probably why our local hobby shops don't carry extensive kit lines, and counterintuitive to the fact that Hobby Lobby is opening a second local store (although their clientele is much more varied than model builders).... I'm pretty disappointed by all this.

great opportunity to hone up on fine brush painting!

TODAY. If I hadn't gone up on a whim to SEE if they were there.... well; I heard people complaining about the lack of non-club members coming to the show/contest/swap meet. Any ideas on why that might be? Poor advertising? hmmm.

I work right where I'm at right now. Right in front of this monitor. about two feet wide and a foot deep, and often sprues are laid across the keyboard while I'm detail painting. There's six builds in progress stacked under the desk. the bulk of my parts (and the rest of my builds) are in the hall linen closet, nearly 250 of them and several organizers full of parts, boxes full of bagged tires and rims, a couple of boxes of GI Joes... twenty-plus years of hobby time stored away because two "spare" rooms were taken by family... but I STILL get to build, even in a two-foot square spot.

anybody wanting to do dioramas of original Mission:Impossible scenes will need a couple of these... or anyone who wants to do the truck from "High Tension"....

Since it seems to take place in October and I haven't seen ANY notice put up... When is the Charleston SC show?

snagged a Cougar II, the Dyno Don Chevy, and a Maverick '64 Dodge. HAD to grok all of them this evening, especially the Cougar as I've never attempted that kit, and sure enough the windshield in the Dodge is split right down the middle, just like the very first Color Me Gone kit I bought... however, one broken piece in a closeout kit isn't enough to make me run crying back to Ollies, I'll work around it. Form some acetate or clear styrene. The Cougar kit is very interesting, typical IMC overdoing the working parts (only the hood is mentioned on the box) and loaded to the gunwales with chrome.... BTW on inspection, NONE of the kits had parts loose from the trees, warped parts, or short shots. Those Dodge kits simply have too much packed in the box for it's size... Lindberg really put some effort into that stretch of time, too bad they couldn't stand alone and keep producing new tools of the same or better caliber. My pick at Ollies? short staffing. a manager had to open a register to get things moving today. otherwise, neat store.

I hit our local Ollies to see what they had; mostly all Lindberg with one or two AMT examples. I'll go back and grab a Cougar II, Don Nicholson Impala, maybe a Color Me Gone Dodge, and maybe a Chrysler Atlantic concept car and another Auburn Speedster. seeing almost the entire Lindberg sector of Round2's catalog on clearance makes me think R2 might be thinking of ending production of that line. I think I might get two of those Cougar kits.... Mr Obsessive did such an excellent job on his........

it's brake fluid.
