Thanks guys! The fun for me is taking these old annuals that were generally built so "horribly" back in the 50s & 60s & see what can be done with them with little more than what was in the box, with possibly a few added "goodies", some paint & foil, & a few of the more modern techniques. I think these guys got it "mostly" right back then. Although they do have their issues & can be a little challenged in the detail department, they can still make a pretty decent looking model. Steve

Proper! Isn't it amazing how well AMT captured the dimensions way back then? And those guys probably used slide rules.

True! a lot of the older bodies were just as nice, if not nicer than the new stuff! The old Johan kits were amazing! Steve

And thats what bothers me about

A - taking 2 or 3 years to design and release a kit in todays enviroment .

B - Even when taking multiple years to do a kit and its still wrong,

Sorry for the rant. It tripped a trigger for me

Back to this amazing 1958 Ford build. :D
