Masters of the Air. Forgotten it already. Unlike Band of Brothers and The Pacific which I still remember and can't wait to watch again for the third time. Either Masters of the Air wasn't very memorable or just not that good. While I agree, the little details about B17 interiors and what the...

While I offer a "McHales Navy PT73" conversion kit for my Elco 80ft Class103 PT Boat (paper) model kit, the real PT73 was in fact an old Higgins Motorboat. PT109 was a Class103 Elco. Just thought ya might like to know. lol I know of some very small scale paper model PT Boats if you are...

Watching this with much interest. 588 was a Class103 Elco 80ft, and that belt strip is a flat/wide strip of wood. Imagine a 1"x3" the full length of the boat. There is another just below the deck overhang. 588 was one of the last Elcos built, and had many new gadgets. Its also one of the very...

you are correct, partly. I looked into this because I was now curious. I confirmed the kit does indeed have the option to build a rear engine funny car, with a 500cid engine. However the "bubble top" is an optional part in the MPC 68 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible" kit (and not in the...

That listing made me laugh. Funny Car? lol "Clear Bubble Top? LOL Rear engine? 428cid Ford? engine...lol? Obviously someone screwed up the descriptive part of that listing! ---------------------------------- Yeah, I know its an old, rare, overpriced plastic kit and its probably gonna stay...

I owned a 68 Pontiac Parisienne fastback 2+2 327cid. This is the Canadian version of the Pontiac Bonneville. Maybe trim options being slightly different. Of the dozens of cars I've owned since 1977, this is by far my lost love. An absolute dream to drive. I thought it would be fun to build a...

I've seen this many times before: painting panel lines with black paint. But I look at my own car...and nobody painted the edges of my doors or inside the cracks with black paint. If it was me, I would mix a diluted water based paint. Use the same colour as the car, with some black added to...

European card modelers would argue that theres nothing more mainstream than card models (which have been published in book form since the mid 1800s, or a company like GPM (one of the most respected card model publishers.) What you meant to say was "in plastic". Bah humbug

I understand your point, but as a designer I've had requests for completed models from those who can't build for themselves because of health or skill reasons, and from Museums and the like, because they too don't want to build. While these are in reality "commissions", is it really any...

On another note, I find that with molded plastic parts like this Toyota body, there is a risk of destroying small details with sanding and over painting. Like the little Celica nameplates on the side of the body. And I would definitely think twice about going any further or listening to the...

While I agree, the finish is not bad....and certainly better than some models I have painted, the finish does have a lot of orange-peel which can easily be fixed at this stage ... if the glass isn't fixed, and the body not attached to the chassis. If it is beyond that stage, then I say "great...

1/48? LOL How about 1/33?

YES. very much so.

...that are supposed to allow it to flip up. In fact, I don't see how it can swivel from the location of those pins...it just doesn't work in my mind. *I did notice a note in the Instructions to "select open or closed", so did they not intend for it to actually flip? But the most annoying...
