These are both great suggestions. I had looked at Cults 3D and couldn't find any - thanks for pointing these out!

In agree. Headers for a BBC would work. If anyone has any ideas pls let me know!

I am planning to build Revell's '29 Ford Roadster with a Hemi instead of the kit engine, but I still want over the frame headers, similar to what is shown in the pic (the kit engine is an SBC so the kit's over the frame headers won't work with a hemi.) Replicas and Miniatures of MD offers them, but they are $8 plus $12 shipping, and I don't need any other R&M products, so $20 seems like a lot for a pair of headers. 3DScaleParts on eBay offers a set for $15 and $4 shipping, so that is not much better. Any other resin, 3D printed or kit parts you can point me to? Thanks!

I was really liking the fairly regular cadence of issues that I believe started when Larry got on board. And I also think the magazine does an amazing job of integrating content from the forums here into the magazine itself - probably better than anyone else with any sort of print publication. But now it looks like at least 4 months between issues. I guess I have to realize that the magazine is really a bit of a hobby itself for the folks putting it together. Hoping there is an issue 226 coming.

I assume R2 people are smart enough to figure out whether they will make more money selling fewer kits and a higher price, or whether more kits at a lower price is better for them. Personally, I have to really, really want it to fork over $34 or so for a kit with tooling that was paid for back in 1972 or whenever. All that said, R2 is putting out a LOT of ads with deep discounts on kit prices recently. Makes me wonder if sales are slower than anticipated and they need to either bring in some cash or get deadweight out of their warehouse.

That is great! Flathead, and esp the blower, look so good. And if that kit is anything like the Mooneyes dragster, it is fiddly! Nice job.

Really nice!

Looks really nice and brings back good NASCAR memories!

Great work! And nice job with the white pens.

I’m thinking the Streaker might good for the upcoming 24 hour build. Hopefully the new parts fit well.

Nice concept and nice paint!!!!!

Both are super-beautiful!!

Spectacular! All thumbs up!?

Picked this up at Ollie’s as an easy way way to add a C7 ‘Vette to my collection. Paint is Tamiya Silver Leaf topped with Fire Scale paint Porsche Amethyst. The Amethyst went on great, but seems much darker than the Porsche color - It’s hard to get a decent pic of it. Topcoat is Testors Extreme wet look clear.

Great concept and it came out so well!!! And great color and gloss!

Larry Greenberg reviewed this kit in the latest MCM. It goes together very nicely with little fiddling needed. I airbrushed mine in Fire Scale Paints BMW Snapper Rocks Blue with Tamiya clear from the rattle can for the gloss. BMW hasn’t offered that color on the real car but I like it so I went with it.

Nice! And what a throwback!

Looks nice! I’ve got a couple AMT millennium editions waiting to be built too!

That is a neat build. Did you take the "bright" pix in direct sun? If so, you can get brighter pix that are not too bright by using indirect sunlight. The interior looks fantastic!

Looks soooo nice! Great paint, and very nice work under the hood!

That is a very nice build!!

Just beautiful! And from back when NASCAR was NASCAR. I remember watching those races that September. I believe Harry was in an accident at Martinsville, and Buddy Baker said "well, he isn't winning four in a row!" But of course, he did! Thanks for posting this - brings back good memories.

Beautiful build and great photos

I bought this kit at least 15 years back when I was in the LHS and thought “I need to try a Fujimi kit.” I later read it’s not considered a great kit. While that is true of the chassis detail and engine, I think it built up to be a great-looking shelf model. The stripes are Tamiya White and the red is Tamiya Italian Red, both from rattle cans. I didn’t use a clear coat. So I waited about 15 years to build it, but I’m glad I finally did!

It looks great!
