I"ve Worked in injection molding for 29 years, Setup, and shooting molds, and taking them apart to repair them. First, some of these molds are shot in a injecton machines between 350-500 ton machines depends on the size of the mold & how many cavity. So it's between 2000-2500 psi. Injected at a high rate of speed and presure. The reason you will not find air bubbles is because the molds all have air vents in them. The bigger the cavity the more air vents. The presure a speed in witch the plastic go's in the mold forces any air out of the vents, witch are about 0.002-0.004 deep. In turn if the vents become dirty the parts will have burn marks on the because the hot air can't get out. I've used scotch tape to add venting to a mold. If you do see a bubble in a model kit its because some of the plastic did not melt right. As far as a kit with a lot of flash on it, three things come to mind. The mold is warn, maybe because of a lot of parts being smashed in the mold from the operator not watching the mold. I get this a lot at work. yes plastic does damage steel 2- The mold is getting over packed with plastic, 3- The mold was in a smaller machine, tonage for mold to small. Not to be a know it all, I'am not. hope this helps Thank you Joseph barbato

I say model Looks to fake to be real

I"ll say real on this one. It just looks real to me.

Dennis, I"am Bummed, my big lots had nothing at all. You got some good things there, good luck joseph barbato

I"d have to say model for this one, so far I"am not doing to good on this but I will keep on trying.

I"ll say model, the side glass just don"t look right for a real car, plus the body kinda looks like plastic to me . But I have to say It"s a good job well done joe barbato

I put in a order not to long ago with ed. I ordered 5 hoods & a 1960 ford wagon resin kit. I had to email him on the shipping cost, and he got back to me the next day with the info. don't know what the stuff looks like, have not got them yet. I liked the response time from him. joe barbato

charlie, try drag city casting (dragcitycasting.com) I just ordered a bunch of hoods@ $5.00 each also has alot of kits in resin . he gets back to you fast. joseph barbato jr.

I've built this model about 11 years ago, As far as I can remember, It went together well. No problems wiht fit. Joseph Barbato
