Here's a new issue: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2582&item=5919144424 <- that model should be in stores. It's Revell 2183, a '67 Chevelle SS 396
Ebay is the only place I can find 'em. Hobbytown near me only had one box of a '66 Malibu & I bought it. There's a Revell '67 and a Revell '65 Z-16 in there now. I just browse to the "Models, Kits" part of Ebay & do a search for "SS 396". It gives a full page of Chevelles & a couple of Camaros.

Yep, been building a model. I got the floor, seats and inside door handles done on the Malibu today. The dash is gonna be some work. I looked at interior pics of original 66 Chevelles, and it turns out I'll be doing a good bit of chrome strips on this interior.
I don't really like the all red interior on the box art, so I'm doing a black & red interior with gray floorboard plus chrome strips. So, there's some red in there but nowhere near as much as the box's all red interior. I'm also adding inner door panel details because this model has none.
Only another week and a half until I can polish the solid black painted body!

ooooooooohhhh...ahhhhhhhhhhh.... $20,000... (calculating how many minutes that will buy me with Claudia Lopez in Uruguay... ) (er.. she's the local IPMS rep... )
How about a payoff of 10,000 and my promise never to market the Woody name brand again?

That's ok.... I will run to a country with a non-extradition treaty such as Uruguay... (I dated a girl from there once.... ONCE...) and hide out and make my airbrushes with sweat shop labor... then once you can no longer face the incoming tide of cheap, shoddy workmanship, but easily replaced airbrushes, I will force a hostile takeover of your company...
You airbrushes will cease to be known as the revered "Woodtek" brand... they will then be known by such names as "Chip" and "Biff" and "Woody" .. thus fooling the public into believing these are your honest to goodness "All American brushes" ... no one will notice the little sticker on the handle that says "Made in Mauritania" (where the h@ii is Mauritania?????) They will sport an embossed sticker of the american flag proudly displayed on the handles... furthering the patriotic frenzy....
What do you say to THAT... Mr. high payed union labor... Mr. "a days work equals a days pay" .... I envision .98 cents airbrushes flooding the market.,.. EVERYone will own one!!! that and my 300 HP compressor which the airbrush will not operate without!!!!!
<insert maniacal laughter here>
Ok I've had enough to drink tonight,, I need to stop before I break out in a rousing round of "Deutscheland Uberalles"... the airbrush version that is...
Tom.... owner and proprietor of the "Woody" airbrush Co.

yes. these airbrush are only available to the members of the finescale forums.
Tho 9900, may we talk about merging, you can have your own department dedicated to manufacturing compressors, and my department will manufacture airbrush. deal?
also, tho9900, according to clause 18.45829083 you must remain with the NoBs airbrush company until you are dismissed by the boss. that would be me.
however, in accordance to the clause 19.823746 line 28 word 982734, that violates clause 18.45829083 so therefore, you may stay in the company, and build compressors.
