Thank you, Martin, Goldman, Neuling and Bozzer. My wife is not big on the distressed look of weathering and sometimes my weathering just muddies it up. So yes, it is factory fresh and my wife suggested the purple color for the cab. Bozzer the hood on this one work as good as the Western Star wrecker's!

Not being a critic mate, but I noticed that between this and the mixer, you have the orientation of the vent, different ways? I believe that it should be vertical, not horizontal? However, on all my kits, the pins, or holes, were moulded so the vent was horizontal. I still think that it's an excellent kit though. I actually enjoyed doing all my international trucks. I think that I only have two left, to build now?

Martin Oostrom I have enjoyed this discussion between you and Bozzer. I may just have to finish my Caterpillar D8H model. I was at Hobby Town today picking up some paint and saw that AMT has "Construction Bulldozer and Lowboy Trailer" $94.99 retail, but their price was $87.99 USD. I should point out to you and Bozzer that I did complete a D9R Doobi IDF armored bulldozer. The model is a Meng and has a ton of detail to it.

Curtis, watch out in the upcoming weeks, for deals at Ollie's. You can normally pick up a truck or trailer, for $20 a pop. I've had many a bargain from there.

Italeri doesn't mold their cabs like other companies, and I did have trouble with Opal Blitz Classic cab assembly. On this one the hood lined up just right. Hood alignment has only been a problem on the Ford Louisville Series Delivery Van. If you like the hood you would also like Italeri's Classic Western Star 4964 and Australian Truck.

I had hood issues with mine. I couldn't figure out what had happened? It was like the hood, or cab, was twisted? Just wondered if you had a work around.

Thank you Gorby and Robert Podkonski! I bought this at model swap show this past spring. Just had to have it. The only difficulty is that with retractable wheels, I have no way to keep them in the down position. Still not sure how to pose it on the shelf. I recently added some photos with the mag-lev track.

An interesting build. We have a club contest in November for dive bombers. I selected this one because it seemed like a good kit to build. I was a bit concerned about painting the canopy, but a fellow club member told me that FrogTape® Delicate Surface Painter's Tape worked great. It allows you to see where to cut as it is somewhat translucent. The aircraft is two-tone although my paint choices may not have brought that out as well as it could be done. As to the stars, all I can say is that it is a Navy aircraft!

Thats the spirit Bozzer! For a Revell kit this one kind of sucks. Not my best work but I built it for the club contest "Anything British" as they had featured this model in the lead up to the contest in the newsletter.

I'm in a FB group, and we're doing a Cancer Awareness build.
It ends on the 31st, and I've only just selected the kit. However, like you, I'll do my best and bring it home!
Ironically, my choice is American, and I'm sure that some people will be upset, but it's for a good cause, and it's close to all of us.
I'll shoot some pics of the finished project, just for Scalemates.

How sneaky of you to pretend that you've got a Lambo parked in front of your garage 🙂 . I really need to start doing some forced perspective shots of my models. Much more interesting than just sticking them on a plain background.

David Orr it is fun to do those shots. Unfortunately, the lighting was not so good. For my birthday my wife bought me a lighted photo booth. My recent builds have that stark white background, but no shadows. I will have to come up with some background images to make them more interesting. Be well my modeling friend.

What a car. One of my all time favourites. I've just about finished the Tamiya XJ220. I thought the Tamiya one was the same kit as some of the other brands, but I'm not so sure now. It is shown in the history of the Testors kit on Scalemates, but isn't directly linked to any of the other boxings by other brands. Mine has different wheels and windscreen wipers, and the headlight covers can be opened. Also the glass looks different.

David Orr, I bought two Testor kits in 2015. One was the Ferrari 250 GTO and the other was the Jaguar XJ 220. I was looking for some stylish cars and wasn't paying attention to the model maker. Testors has been around since 1929 and was a brand I grew up with. I like Tamiya kits for their ease or at least clarity of assembly. I know some of my fellow modelers want more detail and prefer other brands, but for me why use three parts when one will suffice? I wish you all the best with your model.

Thanks Curtis! And yes, I have a decent sized stash at the moment. I'm a little on the younger side, so hopefully I can get through them. I'm afraid to say that the wish list is mostly aftermarket for kits I already have, so I have a lot of building to do! I got back into modeling a decade or so ago after haven't not built any models since I was a kit, and started with wooden ship models. Over Covid, I got bit by the plastic bug and now here I am 🙂
I struggle myself with trying to achieve perfection yet balancing allocating a reasonable amount of time to my builds. I like the challenge and puzzle of aftermarket, but probably won't put in the kind of extra effort I see from the masters on here. If I did, I'd only build one model a year!
By the way, I loved your mix of modeling subjects in your album. I'd like them all but don't want to bomb your inbox. I especially liked your recent fire engine! I also really like your Ju-52. I have a couple of those kits on the shelf with aftermarket pontoons and skis to convert them. I'm a fan of building quirky, less built subjects.
Take care! Will be following your builds in the future!

Curtis, what a great model! There's something about fire engines with their red, black and chrome schemes. Did you use foil for the chrome? It looks perfect!

This was kind of a learning airplane. I did the rigging on the tail, but not on the wings as I learned later that the wings are two pieces to allow the thread to loop through. I picked this kit up at a junktique store. It was a fun kit to build, and I could do it better the second time. I don't think I actually painted it and instead clear coated the colored plastic. If I had painted it, I would have used Tamiya TS-47 chrome yellow. My research showed that this was pretty close to the yellow color used on the actual plane.

In reviewing the actual car, I found someone who thought the Viper looked best in emerald green exterior with a tan interior. While it is an American car it gives it more of that European Sportscar look. There was also a discussion about whether the Cobra or the Viper was better. One might conclude that the Cobra is the more affordable of the two cars and offers a great value for the money. It has a sporty look, is reliable, and is easy to maintain. It also has a good safety rating and is reasonably fuel efficient. On the other hand, Viper is a more luxurious car with a more powerful engine and superior performance. Thank you, gentlemen, for your taking the time to comment.

Well Christian W the Diablo followed the Countach in the timeline. So, your comment makes sense. en.wikipedia.org/wik..borghini_automobiles.
Yes, Bob Hall the Countach was in Cannonball Run! As someone said, "these cars were so impressive and awesome, they played a role in the movie that was at least as important as the rest of the cast."
Thank you both for your comments.

The Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (colloquially referred to as the CVPI, P71, or P7B) is a four-door, body-on-frame sedan that was manufactured by Ford from 1992 to 2011. It is the police car version of the Ford Crown Victoria and was the first vehicle to use the Ford Police Interceptor name.
Jeff Flint you are definitely correct in that it was a very popular car right up there with the Dodge Monaco and the Chevrolet Caprice. Like Roscoe P. Coltrain those sheriffs have to be in hot pursuit.
