This thread is sort of like a measuring contest

Part of the reason why the AMT COT kit failed because it was a half arsed kit to start with, if it was full detail kit then I think the numbers would of been a little bit better, lets be honest, it was a dissembled diecast, not a model Yes http://www.mikesdecals.com/

You win the internet

Thank you James, this is what I wanted to say, but was having a form of typing block

Its rather sad more then anything

Nice and shiny, very cool

So, after reading some of the replies, we as "paying" customers should be just happy to have "model kits" and should be thankful that the model companys are producing model kits?, is that my understanding? So I ask you this, the ones that feel that we should bend over and take it up the rear end with half arsed inaccurate mode kits, would be ok if you bought a house that was half arsed built?, would you be ok with buying a car that was half arsed built? would you be ok ordering a meal and getting it halfed arsed cook?, why should we as paying customers accept model kits that are inaccurate when we live in the year 2014 , when model kits were more accurate two/three decades ago vs what we are getting now, again, why should we ? I am not asking for perfect model kits, but sheesh, a little bit more effort on the "their" part would be nice, I mean when you make a stock version of a car with a custom chopped roof, something is wrong with that, and there is no excuse for that, and it clearly shows that its all about the bottom line and to heck with the customers and giving them accurate kits Disclaimer, I am talking about all model kit companys

Not sure if you have yet, but check and double check the fit of the cab roof, I had issues and had to order and pay for a replacement piece, you may not have any issues, but just be on the safe side

About time , it is the proper scale :lol:

I like music, music is good

I am sure it is "handled"

Very nice

You know what irks me, that a club member has decided to keep something for himself that was supposed to be given to me, that is what I get for being a nice person

Thank you Rob

Yes, another one, I only have six 86 kits left to build , paint is Scale Finishes Hot Lave, kit wheels, parts box tires , LED P/E tallights from eightyone.com , engine from of the w/engine runs of the kit.

Very nice

that is interesting, love the thin mints and the caramel ones that I can not think of the name right this minute

Very cool

They are local guys But I am going to get mine at Tower Hobbies and use free shipping

A rat with a rod sticking out of it

Cliff, I posted a pic of the paint in the opening post And some more work on the chassis, nothing much to say other then the putting the rear socks/springs in was sort of a pain

Good start, I do the same with the tires as well half the time

Getting started, slowly , first a chassis/body mock up And the chassis And the bottom half the engine/trans axle/drive shafts, will be removing the chrome plating and chassis paint semi gloss black and did the arms in aluminum

No kits, only R/C in the scales you found
