Let's see those IH Scouts
bytownshaker replied to Goose1957's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I know what you mean I'm in Canada. Getting something ends up costing a lot due to the difference in the dollar and the extra postage costs and now we also have the tariffs. -

The round decal is definitely the United States Drag Team decal and you can find one on the AMT Don Garlit's WYNN'S Jammer kit -

My First Can of Bad Spray Paint
bytownshaker replied to Bill Anderson's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Trevor, I was starting to think the 80's was a mistake in memory. I googled the release date for the enamels and found this https://tamiyablog.com/2019/07/interview-with-mr-yamamoto-about-tamiya-paints/ It appears the enamels were released before the acrylics. Never knew that. -
Your 55 looks evil wicked mean and nasty!!!

A Stunning piece of work!!!

Ferrari F40 IMSA Italeri 1/24
bytownshaker replied to 1959scudetto's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Looks great Helmut, I was lucky and saw it run at Mosport IIRC it finished 2nd. -
I really like what you've done to improve this kit. I could be done to the rest of AMT's altered wheel base kits.

Time To Pick Another Stray From The Pile
bytownshaker replied to Dragline's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
What you actually see here are two separate systems on Graeme Cowin's Fuel Coupe similar to those employed by most of today's fuelers. They're made by NOS, but they have nothing to do with nitrous oxide. The bottle contains compressed air and the two smaller solenoids are air valves used to engage the fingers of the multistage lock-up clutch. The larger solenoids are NOS's new Pinch Valve fuel lean-out system. Placed in the return line from the pumps to the tank, these valves bleed off fuel (leaning out the mixture) any time the driver hits a button, as opposed to the old-style mechanical lean-out valves that work on fuel pressure.
