Scale models of cars, trucks, motorcycles, machinery.
This is a Hasegawa Jaguar XJR-9LM in Silk Cut markings. It is what the car guys call a curbside kit which means no engine. The secondary colors are all decals except the purple on the nose is a Humbrol color match to the purple [...]
This is a Monogram 1?24th Packard Phaeton. Built OOB. Spray painted with enamel paint from the little Testors bottle. If I remember correctly I was paying 5 cents for the when I began painting my models.

Building the Midget from Revell
By Jack Mugan
I have always had a soft spot for the midget race cars ever since I was a kid. Seeing them roar around the dirt tracks, the drivers fighting the wheel, rear ends hanging out and dirt flying [...]
Finally got weather good enough to get out in the sunshine to take pictures so I decided to post another shiny thing.
1/24th Tamiya Porsche 911GT1. Completely box stock. Great kit. Awsome decal sheet.

I just love the old Revell 1/16 scale funny car kits. I remember when this kit came out. I was about 9 years old and being in north Texas we are not too far from Gene Snow's shop in Ft Worth. Anyway, there was a store kinda like Wal-Mart [...]
