Great looking paint and engine detailing. Like the stance and wheel & tire setup.

Great looking paint finishes and these colors were very popular at that time.

Beautiful looking paint finish and colors. The interior looks like a work truck, but a clean one.

Beautiful looking paint and the contrasting interior and wheel color looks great. Like the trim and the stance.

Great attention to all the details of a stock pickup with a special meaning for you.

Beautiful looking paint and interior. Like the way you detailed the engine.

Great looking replica of a special car. The interior and engine are very realistic looking.

Great paint treatment and the body fit and finish. Like the engine and the detailing.

Amazing looking with all the minute details.

Beautiful looking color and well detailed engine.

Don't forget those involved in the distribution and model shops for sales.

I don't remember which member it is here but they're doing a French Citroen. Find a Rolls Royce or a MB maybe. There used to be a real nice Volvo Shooting Brake (wagon to us) kit. Hillmen Minx or a Morris Minor maybe?

The H78x15 was the way they stated the tires size at that time. The H designated approximately the older 7.60 size and the 78 was what they call the aspect ratio between the tire width and the sidewall height. The tire tread is 78% of the sidewall height.

Great looking paint work and clean trim. The interior gives a nice contrast to the body color.

I see what you mean about the body panels lining up. Wish that they had offered a two door Suby here. The paint looks great with the blue accents.

Great looking colors and trim still look new.

Great looking conversion could have put three blowers on it. Like the detailing on the interior.

Beautiful looking paint color and finish. The chassis conversion looks like an OEM level design that should have been originally. The custom interior looks great and well detailed. The wheels really work well on this.

Great build idea, especially for a kit that some goofy body proportions anyway. Like your approach to the roof. Your well into that now but wonder if the El Camino roof section from an old AMT '55 Nomad might have been an option for this.

I also think the wheels really add to the look of this Mustang.

Start with an 800 grit and work your way up. I have noticed that some of my Tamiya paints, regardless of color, seem to get a little unpredictable when they have set around with maybe 1/4 of the paint still present.

Picked up the issue with the green roadster on the cover at B&N yesterday. I found it to be everything you mentioned and maybe even more in some respects. I think that for those of us that prefer to have this type of information in our hands or on our shelves this magazine is a must have.

Good idea except when these tires were made, I don't think date codes were required.

Over time I have purchased several different size Wire Nails or Brads at Home Depot to use for mounting wheels on a model. From the most used size, #15x1 1/2, #16x1 1/4 and #17x3/4 length. I even have some #18x3/4 but haven't had to use them that often. They come in small plastic containers and are usually sold based on weight, so they are really inexpensive. You will need a large wire cutter type of plyers to cut to length.

Depending on the size of can and manufacturer of paint, you might want to pick up and extra can of each color.
