  1. They're either going retro or they're very old stock. Ha Ha. Either way should work.
  2. The earliest spin on filters were a medium to dark blue in color. I'm thinking the white filters started sometime in the '70's.
  3. Great news and I look forward to getting the new issue as soon as it hits the stands.
  4. Here here. The SWC team was a force to deal with in Drag Racing and if you blinked they would put you on the trailer as quick as anybody.
  5. I would suggest applying the decals before the clear coat. Many have different opinions on this but this is mine. I have only used "The Treatment" model wax once and while it will give you a shine in my experience it turned out to be a little more aggressive than what I needed at the time and went thru the color coat in my case. My thought is that if you used this product after the decals are applied it may damage the decals. Will be interesting to see what others suggest.
  6. Well it shows in your model, again well built.
  7. I agree, very clean looking and the paint work is really nice. I like the headlight tint also.
  8. To each their own. I would be embarrassed to be seen even close to it, but that's just me. Others may look upon it and get excited, although I don't know why.
  9. Sort of their answer to the fiberglass T Bucket kits or even the Myers Manx type kits, only cooler looking. Not much weight so the small engine may make this an interesting Play Toy.
  10. There has been a lot of discussion about the rear Bumper position on this kit. When I look at it I have to agree that the Bumper should sit higher or closer to the Tail Lights and rear Body Panel based on what I see in the pictures of 1:1 cars here. What I have noticed based again on these pictures is that the rear Bumper doesn't come all the way down to the bottom edge of the rear Quarter Panels. Looking at the pictures of both the blue Chevelle and the lt. Metallic Green SS395 it appears that the lower edge of the Quarter Panel is actually lower than the rear Bumper. Depending on the angle in my mind it looks as if you could draw a line from the bottom edge of the body panel and it would align with the rear most edge of the Bumper. This would put the leading edge of the Bumper just above the body panel where they meet.
  11. Looks great and I like the Hugger Orange color, I had a '69 Camaro the same color. The dark Saddle interior goes perfect with the exterior and show off the interior details better than if it were Black.
  12. Great looking Vette. I like the jacked up aggressive ride height. The open wheels without the Hub Caps add to the look.
  13. Well built, I like that you have the Hardtop also and it actually fits, amazing in its self.
  14. They turned out great. I watched your build on these two and I can understand how it would get tedious doing the same thing twice. I also like how you left off the rear deck spoiler since it seems like everyone else including myself use the spoiler.
  15. Very nice and the color is really bright looking.

    '73 Eldorado

    Beautiful looking build and the colors are the best looking Beige 's I can remember seeing.
  17. Amazing mixture of parts and the chassis is well engineered also. Very modern look to the Willys body.
  18. They both look great. Knowing that the Revell is a much newer tool, I wonder if you have any feelings as to one being better than the other ?
  19. That is a novel and fitting way to do that.
  20. For the most part yes. I use the TS line of spray paints and they don't really state on the can weather or not it's Acrylic that I can see. The brush bottle paints are Acrylic thou.
  21. I have used the Tamiya Accent paint on engines, chrome and chassis and drive line components and have been happy with the results. The only thing is I use almost Tamiya paints only and this may be the difference.
  22. You just can't beat Mother Nature when it comes to the bazar.
  23. This looks just as you described it. All of the right finishes in all the right places.
  24. The wood trim on the dash looks perfect with the Custom Interior package.
  25. Great looking paint jobs. I like the subdued body panel lines, they look more realistic this way.
