Scale models of cars, trucks, motorcycles, machinery.
The box art says that this model is made by "Italeri" and its' in 1/24th scale. All the parts were 99% free of flashing and sink marks. This car was built almost "o.o.b." just like so many of my other models. I added [...]
In order to build some old models that bring me many memories, as already mentioned in previous posts about Revell Tradewind, I have finished the vintage Revell Volkswagen Deluxe Sedan Kit No. H-952: 59 - 1:40 scale, from the 1960s in [...]
Double WOW! I found this model on the web and bought it flat out. Why would I do that? Let's back up to 1947 as this is the answer.

Another fine looking sport's car to build and add to my growing car collection beside's all those Cadillac's.

My first photo show's my real 1958 Cadillac in 1960 at "La Playa de Tamarindo" in Mexico where I would leave cold Ohio winter's and come often for a vacation with my adopted Mexican family, "El familia de los [...]
This model was very easy to build so go buy one if you can fine it as I bought the kit back in 2007. I don't have any information as who made the kit.
The "yellow"plastic looked so good so I started to polish it with my [...]
I found another kit that showed a "Pink" car on the box top art work. Since I had lots of pink paint left over from painting my Cadillac and 2 airplanes, I just had to buy this car?
I spruced up the engine with homemade spark [...]
The engine was easy to build. I added spark plug's and their ignition wires, including a coil wire. I included an engine and transmission oil dip sticks.
The wooden pallet represents the kind of "skid" that they put engine's on [...]
I got tired of building airplanes, but I still wanted to build models, so I though"Why Not A Car?" I went to "D-n-J Hobbies" in a nearby town and just wondered over to their model car section. Wow! There was lots of [...]
