Hello there fellow modelers has anyone built the Revell 85 442/FE3-X if so what version you did you do it in, also I would like to know if anyone knows what color the vehicles Chassie and frame and engine block color, reason I'm asking these questions is I have the kit and I use to own a 84 442 Oldsmobile and what to recreate my car was gray and silver with gold trim, and leather seats actually it was a cutlas Calais with a 442 package it was fully loaded any information you guys and gales have I would appreciate it thank you Ronald

  8. Hello there to all car modelers thinking about changing my modeling interest to cars but would like to know before I do how do you car guys and gals deal with the chrome parts on the sprues, once removed there will be a spot or other areas that will need to be cleaned up and will show bare plastic, my questions do you remove/ or strip all the chrome then clean up the imperfections like mold lines etc. and then re-chrome the parts if so which is the best re-chrome paint, case in point the revell T-bucket which has a lot of chrome in the kit how to go about building that kit the right way, I would appreciate any help in that area, P.S. I know Donn Yost is a very car modeler and tried to ask him the same questions but he will help me unless he soo busy that he no time to reply back to me thank you Ronald

  10. Hello there I was watching a you tube modeler build a Tamiya 1/48 scale Tomcat and notice he build the engines in two different ways one engine was wide open and the other almost closed since I do not know to much about jets or modeling them is that the correct way to model the engines, forgive me for asking but having the engines look different looks funny If I was modeling a jet I would have the engines the same accurate or not Ronald
  11. I do not understand the printer as in the machine or the person running it was late I never heard of a machine being late was it human error, this use to never happen before

Hello fellow modelers I need help here I'm missing the instructions to a set of eduard 1/48 scale photo etch the numbers that I found on the fret are as followers AC 18 0200 3000 Vindicator seat belts they are for the rare accurate miniature Vindicator I purchased the kit on E-bay and it came with a set of mask and a set of photo etch seat belt but no instructions, now if no one seems to have any could some one e-mail me some simple instructions for installing a basic seat belt or are they all different I would appreciate any information you can send my way thank you Ronald

  21. Hi John I found out that the Mack no 7 ton truck pulled the 155mm long Tom cannon Is it true does it matter I. would think that the M4. Would be correct for that size gun and. If the Mack 7 TON truck is right where can. I find a 1/35 scale model of that truck Ronald
  22. Hello there John I never said there was anything wrong with the hitch as is but it be really great looking if the hitch would open to accept the 155mm Long Tom cannon dolly, since you seem to be an export on the two kits would you know if there are after market parts for the cannon, I was wondering how come no one has made an after market kit for the hitch part that is all Ronald
