Hey HEY! Easy there, George...

It depends on your own definition of "high performance." A 440 would be considered "high performance" by most people, I think.

Those look like dollhouse hinges (1/12 scale), or even bigger, which makes them way too big to use on a 1/24-1/25 scale model.

You can do that. If you do it that way, your photos appear here as small thumbnails, and when you click on the thumbnail the full-sized photo pops up. But yes, you can post directly from your PC without using a photo hosting service.

I hate to be a nit-picker, but actually I did not sit behind Moses in second grade. But he did ride the same school bus that I did...

If ever there was a guy who should bring back the old JoHan kits, it's you. I mean, you even have the name for it!

What I would love to see is a resurrected "Gold Cup" series of classics from the '30s, like those kits released in the '60s. Only this time include a Packard or two, and a Pierce-Arrow, along with the "usual suspects" (Rolls, Caddy, Duesenbergs and Cords). Yeah, I know it'll never happen, but to quote the Beach Boys, wouldn't it be nice?

I know it'll never happen. I was just saying...

And even if a company isn't building cars anymore, someone still owns the name and the rights associated with it.

Exactly! We all have different ideas as to what would make a desirable kit; there are very few, if any, subjects that have universal appeal. Those few cars that come the closest to universal appeal ('32 Fords, "57 Chevies, etc.) have all already been issued over and over and over and over, because the kit companies know that particular handful of subjects will sell... they have a proven track record of success, and the kit manufacturers will obviously try to squeeze every last penny out of those tools that they possibly can. That's just good business. But when it comes to newly tooled kits of models that have never been produced before, it gets a little trickier. Aside from the Hudson, there probably aren't a lot of "sure fire" subjects out there that haven't already been done, just models that would appeal to a relative handful of modelers. It's hard to come up with a new release that almost everyone will be interested in. The kit manufacturers can't possibly please everyone, given the incredibly varied tastes of their customers, so I'd say let's be happy that there are new releases of never-before done subjects being released at all! It's a financial risk to do that, and the best way we can assure a steady stream of new subjects being kitted is to buy the kits that are released. There's no harm in taking part in one of these "wish list" threads, just don't hold your breath for any particular new subject, and understand that your favorite never-been-done-before subject may never be released. And no, I don't work for any model kit manufacturer...

I've never had a problem posting photos here. That tells me this forum isn't the problem, the problem must be on the other end... because if this forum was the problem we would ALL be having problems posting photos.

Oh, you know it!!!

You can paste by either right-clicking the mouse or by typing "Command V" on the keyboard. Either way works.

That's how it works. It works for me. Can't tell you anything else except you're obviously doing it wrong somehow. Photobucket: Click on the info in the IMG Code box. Come here and paste that info into your post. No clicking any buttons here, just paste what you copied over at Photobucket.

We used to do April Fools stuff in Model Cars. One year we ran an ad for a DIY home chrome system. Gregg got a bunch of angry emails from people when they found out it wasn't true!

In Photobucket copy the info in the IMG Code box and paste that info here into your post.

Our spies are everywhere!

Well, maybe in my imagination...

Thanks, guys!

On the Airflow, any one of them.

That "chrome" trim strip across the top of the dash shouldn't be there. The lower chrome strip (that wraps around the steering column) is correct, but the upper one doesn't exist. Also, the gauge faces should be a matte silver or light gray.

Christian, yes, that's the one I have. Nice model, in my opinion.
