  1. Thats what I am saying, its one of the few Corvettes that I actually like
  2. I know the tires of the F350 kit are bad, I want you to take a look at the tires off of my completed one that has been sitting on the shelf, since the beginning of May, the tires can not support the weight, and I have emailed this to Meng
  3. Because China was mentioned, and now the ignorant people have jumped on the "lets blame the Chinese for everything" bandwagon instead of looking up the facts, this is for everything, not just this issue. The biggest case of the ignorance is when it comes to outsourcing, and how everyone blames the Chinese for that one, now, let me ask you this, how is it China's fault that American companys chose to outsource to their country?, instead of blaming them, shouldnt the blame put on the "American companys" that chose to outsource ?. Did the Chinese put a gun to the CEO's head and make them do it ? Look at that, someone that understands we are living in 2014
  4. Not sure if that was a joke or not, but either way
  5. I am thinking its going to be like the 2015 Mustang promo kit
  6. Ohhhh, that is an interesting find there Rob, but that price tag of $9.95 does say a lot. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXERMD&P=W
  7. Could not find the listing for the Stingray.
  8. Why dont you stop playing games and tell everyone what your issues is with the kit
  9. And for those that dont have a favorite Japanese plastic pusher, its showing late August for the US via Tower Hobbies
  10. Aoshima kit, Scale Finishes Nissan Bayside Blue Paint
  11. I pixalated the flag because like it was said, people find it offensive and I know SA wont allow it to be posted, and I also post on other forums outside of the USA and, you never know who is going to be offended now a days, and its just model, not worth the drama over someone taking offense. Brett, I got the wheels From a fellow club member, who got them and the decals I used from someone on FaceBook, the wheels where stripped of any chrome plating and where molded in the same color as the General Lee kits, so I dont know..... As for decals themselves, they are not kit decals either, but ALPs printed I believe, and what you are seeing is from to much handling after being applied, I had some body work I needed to do after decals were applied from glue getting on the rear fender. Here is a unedited view of the roof
  12. I believe the nose is from a Monte Carlo from that or a later year, the nose has the same shape and contour as the Monte Carlo nose does.
  13. Finished them up, enjoy Finished
  14. I had that in my watch list, and just forgot all about it No engine , but does have a decent chassis detail
  15. There is already a current thread for what we drive, but I know it might not of come up in a search, I had to use the most replys option to find it. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4705
  16. I will check out the site and take a look for myself, thanks for posting that, there is some flake in the MM HO, its very hard to notice though, its one of those under certain light/angles does it become really noticeable . Here you go, MM Hemi Orange decanted, you can see how the flakes look
  17. That would of been a good one though Brett See, I thought , and now of course, colors look different in person vs photographs, but to me , Flame Red looked more red than orange, but that was another one of the colors the show use was Flame Red, I believe Hemi Orange is the only one that you mentioned is a metallic , but I could be wrong. I think I might get a can of MM lacquer Flame Red and give it try and see for myself. On to the T/A kit, its been decent a build , pretty much straight forward, the only fit issues I have ran into is the nose piece, and once you have the three parts in place (trim,clear lense, chrome backing) , the fit to the body isnt perfect like it is without those parts installed. Now the detail, yes, there is a lot of that lacking, I had to glue the metal pins to the chassis for the front tires as it was very lose fit, and they would not stay in on there own. The one that I do like about this one vs the Monogram kit, is the tail lights, so much better, and look a lot more realistic then the Monogram kit. And I have to also say a plus to the decals, while they are your typical kit decals, all the gold striping went on without any issues, and using some mirco set made it even easier. I will get some more pics posted of the T/A soon
  18. I am hoping this comes to be, then of course a plastic version would be very nice too
  19. I really like the concept Just one thing, Xanavi is a part of Nissan, I am not sure they would sponsor a GM race car Think of it this way, Xanavi is like Delphi to GM
