Well I know your talking about Hobby shops in Canada but the best I've been to in the U.S. is Peggaus Hobbies in Montclair CA. 21000 sq ft of nothing but hobbies. What a place !!

Sorry about this, but I haven't seen one of these kits of the Austin on the shelves in I don't know how long. YEARS. Is it still available? Or is it only a Model King offering?

I'm Still waiting on the ASTRO 1

I got a funny feeling. Dang, gotta quit sprayin lacquer with the door closed !!! Hee, Hee, Hee......I think thats wrong !

Way to go Mike You won Floyds Sedan Delivery and I got the Aero Sedan. Very Nice build!!! Really like the interior!!

OTHERSIDE! ..........What otherside???? Dang, I thought I was just going straight down!

Very Cool, I have a friend that wants me to build him a replica of his car. Any time frame?

Was that Coupe proto made out of resin or from Galaxie?

I'm diffinetly on board with the Uncertain T. Love that kit. There are some rumers about it but nothing solid.

Well, We. on the west coast are getting American Hot Rod Back, Starting First of December. You all remember that...... (Boyd Cottington)

I noticed one has 129 parts and the other has 128 parts...... Uhhhh! Must be the roof again !!

So how much is 299 euros?. I don't live in Europe

Already got mine......From the Danbury mint!

You know years ago I did a test using every flat white paint I could get my hands on and spraying whitewalls onto tires. Then I squizzed and twisted them to see if they would crack. The only paint that stood up that test was Tamiya XF2 flat white. Works for me everytime!

Because the tires are hollow you can break or crack that ww decal real easy, especially putting the wheel on or pushing down too hard on the model. Note Here be careful. I'm just going to airbrush mine

That shot of Mt Shasta looks like it was taken on Hwy 97. Been in that same spot many times. Great shot Aaron ! And I just saw that Skycrane yesterday !!

Maybe It's because they're working in Meters. Ha!!

Well Richard I was wrong. I went back and refered to the 36 page book I wrote regarding the build, after all I built this almost 14 years ago. I discovered that on the chrome grill portion that I had painted it flat black right over the chrome. After it dried, I took a toothpick and a ruler and scribed the grill design into the black paint leaving the chrome grill showing. So with the chrome grill and the clear yellow pins coming out of it it has quite the effect in the light. Hope this helps

The original spears that stick out of the grill on the real car were painted a clear gold or yellow so I did the same and painted mine Tamiya clear yellow and to get the grill effect behind them I scratched the chrome kit insert with the back of a #11 blade in the original grill pattern. I see if I can come up with a pic as the discription is kind of confusing.

This is my 39 wagon Rod. nice kit, lots of options once you get rid of the headlights. Trailer doesn't come with the kit. It was mostly scratchbuilt

Thanks JB, I was checking yours out as well. Looks really clean and real. Mine was done using aluminum tubing and small tubeing drilled into the base as on the real thing then painted to match. I also included the butterfly valves at the bottom of each tube.

By thw way, If anyone has questions, Please don't hesitate to ask. Four years of this build gave me a ton of info on the real car. Be more than willing to help. in anyway I can.
