It's a premium US brand, sold in delis and higher end grocery stores. Used to be really good.

How about a little Samantha Fish?

That's the new improved meatless soy protein and powdered insect filling. Welcome to the brave new world. Oh...the humanity !!!!!!!!!

Over more than two decades, I've spent tens of thousands of dollars on eBay. And now I'm finished. I have a 100% perfect record, never a failure to pay on any purchase, ever...though one seller almost trashed that because of eBay's policy change on delaying payments to combine shipping on multiple wins. But the last several auctions I've "won" have required forced payments that go through one hour after the end of the auction. This makes it all but impossible to arrange for saving a little money with combined shipping, because many sellers just don't want to jump through the extra hoops to figure a shipping refund on multiple items and send it out after they've already collected...and of course eBay gets a cut. Good job eBay dwerbles. You can take your pathetic penny-pinching greed and stick it you know where. I will never again purchase anything through eBay unless there is absolutely no alternative, as has been my attitude towards Bezos' Amazon for a long time.

Some of you who are active in a sport / hobby that can't be mentioned here will know Paul as a knowledgeable outdoorsman, a talented and skilled competitor, online teacher, and instructor. He served his country in both the Marines and the Army. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in December, and everyone thought they'd caught it in time. They didn't. I'll miss him, as will most of his over one million subscribers on YT.

Grumman Goose? There's sposed to be a real one at the Cradle of Aviation Museum on Long Island...

Religions...oops, better not go there.

Batteries powering the right machine can be a whole lotta fun.

Good luck.

Shredded for taco filling.

Yup. Good kit, well proportioned, nicely detailed. Only real criticism I have: the tires are probably a little tall for period-correct racing rubber, and the 4-spoke wheels in the kit are not correct for most of the photos of the cars, shod with 5-hole aluminum slot mags. EDIT: Mass' cars appeared both with the US-spec nose and the ZG nose, and I don't know enough about the history of Mass' efforts to say anything else. ZG nose and wheel and tire-sidewall ref: US spec nose (represented by the kit):

Was able to do some yard work, clean the back gutters, and take a 1.5 hour walk yesterday. Since I did whatever I did to my knee a few weeks back, I haven't been able to do much, definitely no heavy work or hiking. But staying off of it as much as possible has done wonders, and though it's still swollen somewhat, it feels almost right.

Schmuck is a term related to schlemiel and schlub and schmo, but with different shades of meaning, all of which may be applicable to the same individual.

Guy Fawkes night involves much revelry and bonfires.

And if true, that right there answers the OP's question. You can NOT topcoat acrylic enamel with lacquer (which is what the Tamiya clear must be in this case) without risking exactly what happened to the OP. EDIT: Bob Downie, aka Zoom Zoom, is one of the most accomplished and knowledgeable car modelers on the planet. I've seen a lot of his work up-close-and-personal, it's absolutely top quality, he's been published in the model mags frequently, and I'd tend to take his word on just about anything paint-related as gospel.

This is the reason we constantly harp on TEST FIRST ON THE SAME PLASTIC YOUR MODEL IS MADE FROM, BEFORE YOU PAINT THE MODEL, with any product or combination of products you're not intimately familiar with. NEVER ASSUME PRODUCTS FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS OR EVEN DIFFERENT PRODUCT LINES FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER ARE COMPATIBLE. TEST FIRST.

Visit epochs inhabited by dinosaurs or saber-tooth tigers via your time machine at your own risk.

Having friends in the tire biz, all my truck tires have been takeoffs for decades, so whatever I can get two or four of with decent tread in 225 or 235/15 is my favorite. If it snows, I stay home. And since neither pickup has a limited slip diff or 4wd, tires don't make a whole helluva lot of difference anyway.

Do unto others after they do unto you, but never be the instigator.

Choices abound in US grocery stores, but prices keep on rising.

Cool build idea...but at the same time I kinda hate to see 1:1 Crown Vics and Merc Marqs destroyed in crash-'em-smash-'em events. They're great cars worthy of being saved, and the supply of good ones is definitely drying up. EDIT: Way back in 2005, I bought a creampuff "Police Interceptor" from the county (a detective car with a seized engine caused by the common cracked plastic manifold and subsequent overheating) for really really cheap, and had a 4-cam 4.6 from a totalled Lincoln Mk VIII waiting to go in it, but they both "disappeared" while I was moving out of the shop. Anyway...this should be a very interesting build.

Blue is a nice color if you like blue, but green, yellow, orange, red, pink, and purple are nice too.

One thing that drives me up the wall is "sentences" that aren't.
