Loved this one. I clearly remember building this kit and painting it a Testors bottle paint that was a light purple. This pic brought a flood of good memories! Thank you for posting it. It would be a Grail kit for me as well.
I'm not a HUGE fan of funny cars, but man is that a sharp car or what?! Beautifully done model, it has such an impressive and realistic "sit". Very well done.
Very interesting subject, and nicely done! Love these early designs, and the experimenting that was so prevalent in aircraft design at the time. Good job.
Love it, and am a fan of Heller kits in general. As for the plane, it reminds me of my favorite quote concerning identifying WW2 planes; " If it's weird, it's French. If it's ugly, it's Russian. If it's weird and ugly, got to be Italian"
Grounds for divorce! Fractured Fairy Tales was always my favorite part of the Bullwinkle hour. The Steve Martin memories! Ruprecht from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. The Man With Two Brains. All of Me with him and Lily Tomlin was some of his best physical schtick. Chalk me up as a HUGE fan of Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.
Anywho, good luck with your vtol projects! Wasn't that Shinden actually a design licensed/ borrowed/ stolen from the Germans?
In addition to the headlights being recessed once again (finally!!), it appears the various GTO emblems and letters have been corrected in their scale and location. I'll have to pick up one of these!
