  1. Also, the resemblance of the parts in this exploded view to those in the Monogram 1:24 kits is uncanny.... If it IS 1:25 scale lets hope it is not a simple scaling down like the 69/70 Mustangs.
  2. So I find myself wondering how it is that this new car can be sold for $6800 while the BRP Can-Am starts at $15000... Either BRP is grossly inflating the price or Elio is grossly undervaluing their car...
  3. I have some NB plates if anyone is interested. From the 1991 design. They're all from vehicles I've owned so are not in pristine condition or anything.
  4. On my latest project, I'm under seven tower cranes. They were on limited duty last night though due to high winds. We've been trying to figure out what you guys do when nature calls! Here's a view on the daily commute. Yes this is a picture from my phone, not a publicity shot.
  5. Try doing it in a parking lot in New Brunswick in -25²C winter.
  6. Aha! More mysteries solved.
  7. Rather, the Isuzu front clip would be based on the Brazilian and Russian market trucks.
  8. Not that I've seen. I do have one if someone need it for a master...
  9. I'll be getting a few!
  10. Yes, you have to start over. Brake fluid will also work. Never say never to the Krylon; if you used a Krylon primer and a Krylon base coat, you will not have this same problem. This is not an inherent problem with the clear coat itself: it is the reaction between the two different brands and types of paint.
  11. I have a Johan USA Series 1969 AMC AMX that is molded in green. The double-pack Revell 1956 Ford F-100 and 77 Chevy C-10 has a green C-10.
  12. So Grzegorz , I have to ask: do you by any chance happen to work in a mine? This is awesome!
  13. Both the Charger 500 and a 70 Charger would be most welcome. But, the Charger 500 would require a new body tooling which they probably won't do.
  14. That looks like the weird camper thing in one of the MPC Dodge pickups!
  15. I'm not so much concerned about making the plates; that's easy enough to do. My complaint was more towards the sites not being updated...
  16. That is what I've been doing, although it is hard to find the font my province uses on the plates. I've been using the German EU plate font, looks pretty good. I even successfully predicted the next letter in the passenger car sequence a year before they switched over.
  17. You know what, I think the 1:35 scale one is the one my buddy has... I know it is frickin' huge!
  18. The biggest problem I have with all these custom license plate sites is that they don't have my province's current plate design. C'mon, it changed five years ago!
  19. A guy in my club has one of these and we keep bugging him to build it. We've even offered to each build parts of it to get it built! We've suggested a diorama with the assembled Dora and support crew.
  20. I really wish they'd bring out a new notchback body. I much prefer all notchback Mustangs to the fastbacks.
  21. I liked that one much better than the Rob Zombie bumpside they did...
  22. The GMC hood is also different. Markedly so on the 60-61 while the 62-66 hood is similar to the Chevrolet version. Check out this link: http://6066gmcguy.com/Hood.html
  23. Thanks, Antonio! My friend was wondering if these are worth getting refinished or not. Personally, I think they're ugly.
  24. A friend of mine is trying to ID a set of wheels on a 1990 Nissan Pathfinder. Not sure of the make, but here they are: They look tres 80s, no?
  25. The pickup was recently reissued with a custom building options, one if which is a second set of wheels. So you can still build the truck out of the box and use the artillery style wheels on another project.
