Spotlight Hobbies has announced they will be offering a plating service, no start date was mentioned.

I believe they are 1/25, designed to be used with the Revell ‘90 coupe kit.

I have attempted to contact Greg a couple times also & have never heard back.. A guy in Canada, Gary Chevale ? forgive the spelling I know it’s wrong. Cast one also, bought it a couple years back. Not totally thrilled with it but it’s all I have.

JoHan did do some Larks, the convert pictured above is not real hard to locate. The Premier ones shown are very rare, I purchased a convert & sedan many years ago at a toy show in Columbus & have never seen ether anywhere since. MCW does produce resin 59-60 Lark’s a HT & Sedan. There have been some other resin Studebakers over the years.

Good product & service, buy with confidence

Tom, right now no one has produced an Airflow in resin, Ron Cash was working on one before he got sick, but that was a long time ago. Sure wish someone would.

Boy, that’s for sure. Very very annoying.

Bill is fine, saw him a couple months ago. He is on facebook occasionally.

The Parts Box sells a very nice resin hot rod V-12 flathead.

I was up there in May, specifically went to see these two cars. It was definitely worth the 4 1/2 hour drive each way to see them.

Someone way back did a resin of the Corvair, R&D Unique maybe ? When an unbuilt one appears it goes for serious money.

Exactly, looks like S/SS class on the rear roof pillar.

The only flathead Pontiac straight eight was a resin one from Kitchen Tables Resins. He closed his business a couple years ago. The many time reissued AMT 1941 Plymouth has a flat six. I have modified this engine to be a reasonable copy of both a Studebaker flat six and a Ford flat six. Going farther back the Monogram 1930’s Packards have flathead straight eight engines. Another person answered the Replicas & Miniatures has a Pontiac straight eight. Not really, first it is an overhead valve engine and while it is supposed to represent a Buick straight eight, it is not real accurate. But it is still a nice looking motor. Your best and cheapest route would probably get a couple of the ‘41 Plymouth’s and do some cutting on the flat six to create a flat eight.

I & everyone else thought John Carlisle was retiring & shutting down this business. Wonder what changed.

I don’t know about using lacquer thinner as glue but MEK works very well.

The 221,260,289,302 & 351 W were all externally the same basic engine. Different bores & stroke to give the different displacement.

Check American Industrial Truck Models, he specializes in just resin truck bodies and parts.

The Rustoleum primer is probably enamel & the color coat is likely a lacquer or urethane. You should never shoot anything but enamel over enamel. Find a primer from the same manufacturer as the paint.

A crime to pull parts out of a kit to use on another build ? If so I’m going to jail forever, I saw cut them up, swap parts, age or value who cares ! This hobby is about building not saving boxes full of plastic.

No need to clear over BMF, I have builds from 20-30+ years ago with BMF & they look as good today as when it was first applied.

Howard, the only thing I am aware of is a ‘55-‘56 Bentley by Air Trax. Not sure if it is a complete kit or a trans kit for the Hubley Rolls.

I don’t know anything about cold cast iron powder but that is the now deceased Revell ‘30 coupe from 3-4 years back.

Very sad news, he was a great guy & a fantastic modeler.
