  1. I don't see anything to nit-pick about on these two , beautiful work Wayne !
  2. Sharp looking trucks Gerald ! Really like the old school custom grille on the '53 .

    My 2021

    All four are beautiful work Randy , I really like the Camaro ! And surprising to me the Subaru is pretty cool looking , may have to get one .
  4. Now that's a sharp looking truck , well done !
  5. Great little plane and a job well done ! I've built a couple Metal Earth planes and they can be tricky but produce nice display pieces when finished .
  6. Wow that's the nicest one I've ever seen built , beautifully done !! The doubled decals really do make a difference !
  7. Absolutely gorgeous ! Beautiful paint and trim work , and the interior looks awesome too ! Pro Touring isn't my thing but I'm a '60 Chevy guy (owned three) and I would love to have one like this .
  8. Those A-Pillar trim pieces are an excellent addition , well done ! This is really coming together and may be one of your nicest yet , can't really pick 'cause I like them all ! I'm going to go back through this thread to see how you did those headlight buckets , very nice .
  9. Great looking Henry J Gasser ! With so many people not liking this kit there should be plenty of them for the rest of us !
  10. Very nicely done ! The changes you've made all look great !
  11. I was starting to think the same thing , the inserts have no ejection marks and the tire material seems identical for all four of them . Guess I was lucky to get this set . Thanks Mark !
  12. Here's some better photos of the tires . I did look at Modelhaus Tires and the fronts are similar to their #100 tire but again the ribs are different . Forget about the Cragars , I'm not concerned about them right now .
  13. Found a review on Youtube and they're similar but have no markings and no ribs on the fronts , also the inserts are completely different . Thanks for the suggestion .
  14. Those are a couple of very well built Bugs , really like the Off-Road one ! And probably the most realistic photography I've ever seen ! Any tips for us laymen ?
  15. Your 57's always look soooo nice and this one is no exception , beautiful colors !
  16. Great year , I love the 60's American cars !
  17. Beautiful interior Joe , your hard work is really paying off !
  18. Nicest looking engine you've done yet , and you definitely have making those wire harnesses figured out . Excellent work Steve ! I know it's a small detail but I think the weighted tires add a lot more realism to the finished look .
  19. Looks like you had a great year , congrats !
  20. Wow that's blue ! Absolutely gorgeous coupe , well done !
  21. Beautiful '55 Bill , glad you were finally able to finish it ! Scavenging the scripts and emblems from old diecast must have been a real chore . And I agree that the '55-'56 Fords are much nicer looking than the Chevys , and I'm a Chevy guy !
  22. Beautiful looking sedan Steve , that color goes perfectly with the wide whites ! Nice looking young lady too !
  23. Thanks for the suggestions ! I have the kits mentioned so I did some checking . . . the Monogram '59 Caddy tires aren't even close . The AMT '57 Chrysler look identical except the tire lettering isn't as crisp , maybe they were also in a newer kit ? I don't think they are Modelhaus as I got them on Ebay really cheap . All four whitewall inserts are identical so I'm thinking they all came in the same kit , guess that's not necessarily true . The fronts I can't find anywhere . As for the Cragars . . . The El Camino and Chevelle Wagon have really nice ones but they have a deeper offset than these , not concerned about the mounting posts . I also checked several other AMT kits that have Cragars and either they don't have the S/S caps or they have different offsets . A couple like the Baldwin Motion Camaro has a really nice set but the spokes are more rounded without the flat tops , I've seen real Cragars both ways so it seems both are correct . I'm not to concerned about finding the Cragars but I really want another set of the tires so I'll keep looking . Thanks guys !
  24. Can anybody tell me which kit these wheels and tires come in ? I know there are similar ones in a few kits but these are exactly what I've been looking for . Pretty sure they are from AMT .

    61 Comet

    That's gonna look great when you're finished ! I really like the black primer with those wheels , but no black on the bumpers . . . chrome please !
