To me, the rivets just look too big, and I think they would be smooth rivets anyway. I think the headlights are too high on the kit, but I don't know how much they need to be lowered.
It's usually the Sunday before US Thanksgiving, so that would be November 20th. I'll check around the local hobby shops in the next few days to see if Gary has posted the flyers yet.
Saw this one yesterday at Beak & Skiff Apple Orchards in Lafayette, NY. It has a 1949 Oregon license plate on it, but it doesn't look like a 1949 Ford to me (but that do I know).
Nice looking CSS Virginia. What's that monitor in the background that looks like it has two turrets? The USS Monitor only had one. You probably already know about Flagship Models: http://www.flagshipmodels.com/zencart/ They have some nice Civil War era 1/192 scale stuff.
The eBay store is called "3 Inches Under". Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-25-scale-model-resin-Emergency-paramedic-Squad-51-conversion-kit-/182115513541?hash=item2a66ee34c5:g:SrsAAOSw~gRVrGXt He does a lot of 1/25 scale mortuary stuff, hence the title.
They are probably the same trailer, just kitted be different manufacturers. The Italeri trailer is definitely not tall enough; it's about 12ft (scale) high, but it should be 13'-6" (scale). You'd be better off with one of the Moebius trailers.
Nice looking Volvo. Well done. Yes, the Italeri trailer is a little short (not long enough) & a little short (not tall enough); but it's just about right for a beverage P&D trailer behind a single axle tractor.
Doesn't really surprise me. Military modeling (1/35) and aviation modeling are probably the largest sections of the hobby (read: where the money is to be made).
I know, right? But it clearly says Revell of Germany & 1/32. Very strange. Well, at least to me. I still might get one if it's not too expensive. Wonder if AMT will ever reissue their 1/32 trucks.
