Curtis Caden Bob Hall thanks. I did three of the Dodge Monaco Police Cars. In the past I had purchased some things from Policecarmodels.com, but haven't bought anything since it became blackdogdiecast.com/. I would love to do lights and sirens. Will see.
Bill Newcomer Thanks for sharing. When I was in grade school, the neighbor up the street had an Orange Superbird for a couple of years.

Curtis Caden Bill Newcomer how cool is that! For me the sad thing is that NASCAR only uses cars from Toyota, Ford, and Chevrolet. The current models used are the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, the Ford Mustang GT, and the Toyota TRD Camry.
Curtis Caden The Douglas C-47 Skytrain is a military transport aircraft that was developed from the civilian Douglas DC-3 airliner. As a supply plane, the C-47 could carry up to 6,000 pounds of cargo. It could also hold a fully assembled jeep or a 37 mm cannon. As a troop transport, it carried 28 soldiers in full combat gear. As a medical airlift plane, it could accommodate 14 stretcher patients and three nurses.

Bas Tonn Maybe not a modern tooling as the Airfix, but I love the fact that this kit has flaps. It's a big plane in 1/72, so plenty of room for flaps, more models should have them.

Curtis Caden Photos attached of the real one at the Military Air Preservation Society located at the Canton-Akron Airport in Ohio. Thank you Bas Tonn for your comment.
Curtis Caden Purchased in 1936, manufacturing no. 5600, was Ju-52/3mg4e. It had only 8 passenger seats, but also a conference room. This machine was reserved by the command of the secret Air Force for Head of State - Regent Miklós Horthy.
Aircraft received civil registration HA-DUR (in Hungarian 'hadúr' means a warlord, also used as a title of the chief of the armed forces) and LÜH number 1001 (see SAFO No. 77), and had been named after the best scoring Hungarian WWI ace - lt. József Kiss. Despite civil registration aircraft was in a permanent (clandestine) military service.
Robert Podkoński Great job, Curtis! I love these yellow-winged planes.

Curtis Caden Model Master 1707 Chrome Yellow and Tamiya TS-47 Chrome Yellow make these 1930s aircraft really pop. It has been fun building model airplanes that are shiny. My next model will be a Revell 1/32 Scale Navy Grumman F3F-3 Model Airplane Kit!
Jonathon Herring I also thought a Hooptie was a car that the rented rims are worth more than the car🤣🤪

Curtis Caden Jonathon Herring you are probably correct. The urban dictionary kind of alluded to a car whose accessories exceeded the value of the automobile as one of the definitions. As a model there were a lot of whistles and bells with chromed parts that probably shouldn't be as well as opening headlights, car doors and trunk but not a particularly good model kit in my opinion. I find that to be kind of ironic, although I may be misusing that word as well.
David Orr Curtis, that looks really cool. I've been building the MPC Country Charger as a General Lee replica. I know what you mean about some of the old MPC stuff., although it seems some of the new releases like the Dodge Demon are pretty nice. The Charger is a bit of a challenge, but it is coming out pretty good so far. It's a shame the kit didn't include the Vector wheels that the box and Round 2's website says it does. I had to get some 3D printed wheels made for it.

Bob Hall MPC kits are notorious for letting people down, I watch the review the guy did on the Cannonball Run kit, talk about your bait and switch. Definitely not my first choice for kits, but unfortunately sometimes it's the only kit available in some vehicles you want. Oh, killer work on this T Wax there C-man and Bill is right you are a kit building machine, keep cranking them out my man 🤘😎🤘 !
Michael Kohl nice to see the Blitz in civilian livery.

Curtis Caden I was thinking originally of MiniArt 38035 Lieferwagen Typ 170V German Beer Delivery Car, but it was 1/35. I was quite happy to find this in 1:24 at my local hobby store. The triangle on the roof left up means trailer in tow, and I was disappointed not to find a 1:24 trailer, so just for fun I added my John Deere wagon. Thank you, Michael Kohl, for your appreciation.
Curtis Caden Thank you Neuling. While not up to some standards it is so much better than the one built February 6, 2014. More work could be done on this one and hopefully I can come back to it.
