Thanks Pappy !

Very nice Merc ! And a super nice looking interior ! Great job .

Thank you very much Bruce !

Thank you Chris and Chris ! It was a lot of fun , especially making my own decals for the first time !

Thank you very much Gregg ! I have an address to send him some photos .

Thanks much Carl !

Thank you Ira !

Thanks Austin ! Yep , it's an actual kit but pretty hard to find . Here's what I started with .

That is very very nice ! Beautiful colors and probably the cleanest '29 I've seen in a long time . Great job !

Built from the Deals Wheels kit using my own decals and aftermarket wheels and tires . Not historically correct since Oscars winged Mk8B was sponsored by Jerobee R/C Electronics but the earlier Auto World livery is what I remember from my slot car days and buying from the AW catalog . I had a lot of fun with this build and I hope you all like it ! Thanks for looking . BOB .

Something I learned many years ago from an old body and paint man : Fill a shot glass with lacquer thinner and set it on your bench . Check it every few minutes and as it absorbs moisture out of the air it will start to turn cloudy . The faster it gets cloudy the higher the humidity , but if after a half an hour or so it's still clear then it's save to paint . You learn with experience how much is okay for your particular paint . It sounds kind of silly but it works great here since the humidity is rarely below 50 % . And Bill is absolutely correct , if you are spraying lacquer and it blushes on you it will polish off .

They have some interesting looking stuff . Are they in Europe and how is the shipping ? Time , cost , etc . . .

Congrats Ray ! Buy both kits and the detail kits for them , then do a few things on the Honey Do list with a smile while you are waiting for them to arrive !

I agree completely ! A beautiful model of a beautiful airplane !

Larry , It looks great ! Excellent job cobbling together the decals and getting it to look so good . I don't see anything that wrong with it , the real cars weren't all identical . Very nice job .

Great looking dioramas ! Thanks for sharing with us and everyone at the car show .

Thank you Matti !

It sounds like we grew up in the same time zone and did the same things ! I got started with Thunderjets around '63 and never looked back ! I always had a track somewhere but really got serious when the AFX cars came out . I always had a track set up in a spare room or in the basement and it always seemed to get bigger every time I redid it . If you ever dig your stuff out , take a few photos . It would be cool to see what you have .

Thank you everyone for the kind words , I appreciate it very much !

Very nice and very clean build ! I'd like to have it sitting in my driveway !

Very nice ! The satin blue finish looks just right for a hot rod . And your choice of background for the photos is pretty cool too !

Very , very nice ! Please build some more cars .

Beautiful save Antonio ! ! Great looking car !

Excellent ! !

It looks great Jay ! Looks like something I would own , primered with no chrome , but nice wheels and it's fast !
