This time the hype is real...

I bet the scores would be a lot lower if it wasn't multiple choice... just "name that car."

42...

Cool! I remember them from my last trip there, many years ago!

Sorry, but that looks more like vandalism than brushed aluminum (in scale)...

Castratti... isn't he a famous Italian tenor?

I'm a big-time musician... I know how to play the radio...

Let's just say that the magazine isn't the only thing I'm involved in...

Like Queen said... We will... we will... ROCK YOU!

Oh no, my friend... the Cranky Nation will be so much more than mere baseball caps...

There's an idea. Maybe even Testors Dullcote. That would give a nice contrast to the "chrome" outlines. (Although I like the full-chrome look, like you did it in the first place).

Actually, "Other Models" means any models that are not cars or trucks... like ships, tanks, planes, locomotives, etc. Your Chevy has every right to go "Under Glass."

Now that is one crazy Rolls! That's one of the cool things about model cars... you can do stuff in scale that would be very hard (and expensive) to do in "real life." I can't say I've ever seen a pro-street RR before!

Let's just say that very soon now you'll all be able to become part of the Cranky Nation and become Crankyheads...

That would be the German mechanic's problem, not the owner...

Seven weight stacks and the valve stem centered between two of them.

From wikipedia: A popular modification for the flathead was conversion to an overhead valve configuration, and many such modification kits were available, including the Ardun heads from Zora Arkus-Duntov who was to go on to fame as the "father of the Corvette". These conversions were not initially demanded by hot rodders looking for extra power, as they had not yet exhausted the capabilities of the flathead configuration, but were demanded by users of the engine in trucks and other such high load applications, where the constant flow of hot exhaust through the block to the exhaust manifolds caused the entire engine to overheat; the overhead valve heads routed the exhaust out more directly, and away from the block.

I have no idea. Looks like a weird one-off custom or show car of some sort. There were no two-seater Tuckers, and Tuckers were rear-engine. This is a Tucker:

That's NOT a Tucker.

That looks great! I like how you foiled the whole "spear" area between the side trim strips.

I have no idea to what extent computers were used to create the new Falcon kit, or what software was used, or how proficient in that software the people who were using it are. But in my opinion, it's not any software shortcomings that are to blame for inaccurate kits. Today's 3D modeling and CAD software is incredibly sophisticated... there is no way it couldn't be used to create an absolutely accurate model. My guess is, the reason for all the mistakes we see is basic corner-cutting... not "sweating the details" and accepting "close enough." I mean, the exhaust system on the kit is completely wrong, and that's not a software limitation... that's "human error."

Real or model? The answer: REAL!

How does the driver see where he's going???

Wow! I'm the new Joe Biden!

Who's your running mate???
