Does anyone know the actual make & model of the AMT/MPC/Ertl Gravel Trailer kit? I think it's a 1971-ish, but is it a Fruehauf? Thanks.

Great looking Thunderbird!

Great looking Cobra. Might have to look into one of these. It looks longer that the Fujimi kit. ?

That's pretty cool. Is that the Revell kit?

Nice looking Chevelle. Very well done.

Thanks for the link. Yes, those are a little pricy. Looks like the "newest" car is the Toyota GR010 Hybrid, which is the successor to the Tamiya Toyota TS050 Hybrid.

Nice looking truck. Too bad about the windshield, though.

Does anyone know if there are any kits available of the newer Le Mans Prototype (LMP1, LMP2, etc.) cars? I know Tamiya makes a Toyota TS050 Hybrid, but I was hoping for one of the new Cadillac DPi-V.R.

Great looking Crown Vic. Well done.

Great looking Mustangs. Very well done.

Great looking P-40. Well done.

Amazing details! Really well done.

Nice looking Cat. Well done.

Nice Pontiac. Well done.

Nice looking GTO. My experience with Tamiya spray paint has been hit or miss, but when it works, it really looks nice.

I've had plenty of disasters, missteps, and blunders along the way while building models. Most involve the lack of connection between my imagination & my fingers; however, my most recent blunder involved the AMT Mercury Club Coupe & my painting ability (or lack thereof). I am building the AMT Mercury Club Coupe as Sheriff from Cars, so black with white doors. I get the body all painted & decaled, and I'm applying the clear coat when the body flips off the paint stand into the dust! Since it's Tamiya paint, stripping turned out to be a nightmare, so I procured another body & started the process all over. I masked off the body, and painted the interior, and here is where the blunder occurred: I left the masking tape on the body too long & the body was covered in sticky residue that wouldn't come off! Maybe someone is trying to tell me something. ?

I posted on the Forum a list of the approximate year of many of the truck kits. Think I can find it now? No, of course not. Anyway, the AMT Autocar A64B is about a 1971 & I think the AMT Ford C-series is a 1973-ish. I'm on the road now, but when I get back tomorrow I can check my list.

Nice job. Well done.

Great looking 917. Very well done.

That's awesome. Well done. ?

Great looking dozer. Really well done.

Nice GTO.

Great looking Mercedes. Very well done.

Great looking old Chevy. Well done.

Thanks, Bob. The build caused me more grief than expected. I was looking for a nice, simple build. Boy, was I ever wrong.
