When I bought my tractor kit, I went to the local dealer to pick up a can of Fendt Green aerosol. It's all AGCO, so if you don't have a Fendt dealer, a MF dealer can get it for you as well.

Correction noted, RSchnell. Thanks!

I'll buy one to go along with my other tractors. It must be a bit of ancestry in me, because the majority of my family hasn't lived on a farm for over 80 years. Just something about them...

The majority of the chrome on a Model A was nickel-plating. Kit chrome would be way too bright for most of us, but we are the builders who would know.

Great looking build, have one of these kits on the bench as well!

I am looking forward to the Model A kits, but hopefully we will get a few more body choices. A Victoria or an A-400 would be nice, along with a Fordor. Hopefully ICM will do more Fords, but I would like to see a model of the Ford Y and its variants (right up to a stock 93E Anglia/Popular). Plenty of body choices with that running gear!

That generation of Ontario licence plate is probably more accurate if you leave the decal off. Notorious for the covering peeling off the plate in a very short period of time.

There's a really good set of Quebec plates available from BonLey Decals. I don't know if they are still in business, but I hope so; never picked up their more recent era of plate stickers.

The conversion parts look fantastic in the pics I have seen on FB. I'm sad that Chris will not be making the trip to NNL East this year, or I would have been stocking up on these bits.

I'll buy at least one, if not more!

PM sent! I was fortunate to get most of the original running gear, but I have a couple of '72 kits for parts swapping. Thanks again!

Now that Modelhaus is no more, is there anyone out there doing pieces for these trucks? I just found another rebuilder (a '69), and need to find all the missing trim bits. Thanks in advance!

There are a couple of those MPC kits I wouldn't mind having back, especially in white styrene. Cars like the Chevette, Cavalier, and EXP would be appreciated. Get rid of the glass-eating Radial T/A's, and it would be even better!

Looking for a set of these wheels, condition of the chrome not important. TIA! Picture courtesy of Fabrux.

How easy would it be to loft this instrument panel into a 3D rendering? This would be a great add for people wanting to build a more basic kit from the Moebius 1965-66 Ford trucks.

Does anyone make these wheelcovers in resin or 3D? I have all the bits I need, but the '72 covers are just that much different from the originals.

AFAIK, Salvino's doesn't have the IMSA cars. The later Mustangs were revised into the IMSA Camaros, so not sure if they can easily be put back to original spec.

The EXP and Cavalier were well-detailed kits for the time, the same for the Monogram Daytonas. The TC3 was a decent kit as well. It's been decades since I had a Revell Escort, but seem to recall it being a typical Revell product from the early 1980's. The AMT Escort was essentially an unassembled toy car. I have wondered if the tooling was something which had been started during the Lesney era. The luggage and umbrella moulded into the cargo area was a low point...

Hmmmm... Definitely an interesting selection. I'll have to check those out at the next show!

Does anyone make a resin body for a late 1930's-mid 1940's Chevrolet truck. I would like to convert an Emhar Bedford into a North American-spec truck, but don't feel like modifying a styrene cab. TIA.

As the 1959 Cadillac shares the roof and doors with the rest of the GM lineup, who will be the first to convert this into a Buick, Olds, or Pontiac version?

And in a stunning bit of historical trivia about cars and car models, one of Ira Wilson's sons was Asa 'Ace' Wilson, who was the owner of Royal Pontiac! According to some stories, when Ace died, Ira refused to sell the dealership to Jim Wangers because Wangers was Jewish.

I think the only time the stock-height top was included was the original issue. After that, the mods were made to bring out the Milner Deuce.
