68gt: sorry for such a late response. I would like the first pic used for the front page please.

Pawel: Totally forgot to take pics of the painted engine before I closed it up under the hood. My apologies. For the exhaust, the kit had the option for running it to a stack or the underside. I chose to do mine with the underside exhaust.

Bob: nice work on that Indy car. Ive always had trouble with yellow but yours looks like it came out great

Thanks 68GT. Hope to get a little more work done on BA's van this weekend. 

Bob, your Indy car is looking great!

June 1st is upon us but I would like everyone to keep building and posting till your done. 

Bob: That looks awesome!!! As I've said before, I hate yellow, yours looks perfect though!!! 

Robert: Thanks! Fit is fine. As I think Rob said, seems it was a re-pop of an older GMC/Chevy van kit with extra parts to build it as BA's vehicle. But everything seems to fit without issues, better than a lot of car kits I've tried to build. Only real problem is the friggin' mirrors have vanished somewhere. Going to keep looking for them.

Hope you can get back to the Ferrari, I really want to see how this one turns out.  

Bob - Looking forward to an update on the A7.

Gam - BA's van looks brilliant!  How is the fit on this kit?  I have it in the stash and am feeling a need to dig it up.  They brought back the A Team on one of the local channels as of today, naturally I tuned in.  Now if Magnum, Knight Rider, and The Rockford Files could come back...

Johm - I really like that truck, turned out great!

Bob - Well done on the Indy car.  Decals look fantastic, and I am envious of that yellow paint job.

As for Magnum's Ferrari, it is still in the garage/box.  I got sidetracked and May went way too quickly.  I hope to have a gloss coat added sometime this week and a final picture added.

68GT-love the A-7's....really need to find a reason to buy kit...your's look great.

Gamera-nice van-amazing how many TV/Movie themed vehicles are available.

John-exceptional job on the Mack-brought back memories-company I worked for (a lifetime or two ago) stamped, assembled and e-coated Mack cabs, both class 6 & 8-good memories.

Got some work done on the Indy Car but not as much as I had planned/hoped-below is the initial 'dry fit' after body was painted, along with partial engine placement:

With engine cover and a little better fit-

Started decaling today-using Indycal decals-very good decals-require close trimming and making sure the model surface is wet-fought with a couple but they are much better than the kit decals-and pretty much a requirement if you have an old Tamiya F-1 kit in the stash...

Realistically, shooting for finishing this weekend.

Cheers

That turned out great!  Really nice job.

Hello John!

People reading the forums for some years know I like Mack trucks a lot... Your truck is lookin' good! What I would like to ask is how does the engine look like and how is the exhaust routed on your machine?

Thanks for sharing and have a nice day

Paweł

Nice job John, the Mack turned out great.  Do you have a photo preferance for the roster?

Thanks John! 

Fantastic work on the truck! I'd swear with some dirt and dust on her I'd think it were the real thing. 

Loving that van Gamera. I got the part I was missing in the mail and am ready to call this one done

Thanks 68!

Going to let the paint dry a little more before masking and then I'll try to fix them. Couple of places that need to be resprayed.  

It does look more like BA's van now though. 

Thats too bad with the stripe but dont let it stop you.  Your still in so just post when you have some progress.

68GT: Those look great!

BTW I did get the stripe painted on BA's van. Pics soon. I got some nasty seepage under the masking though that needs to be cleaned up. No way I'll hit the end date at this point.

Being that it's in the 90s today I spent a bunch of time at the bench today.  Got 2 of the A-7s ready and painted a bunch of white areas. Maybe tomorrow I'll mask and get some gray on them.

Looks cool Bob! And sorry to hear that O. 

Thanks 69GT, BA's van is still sitting here. I've been distracted by other stuff. I thought I had to the end of the year to finish her off- my mistake! I'll see if I can finish her up in the coming month but no promises.... 

68GT

Sure Bob, build away.  Ill get you added on.

 

Thank you sir.

Sure Bob, build away.  Ill get you added on.

Been lurking and admiring some great builds....thought I had signed up for this one but checked and I hadn't.  Having said that, 68GT-can I get in on this one?  I realize that this GB is in it's last month, but my build kinda fits into a Month of May build:

This is the car that Al Unser Sr. won his fourth Indy 500 in 1987....with an interesting history that led to Unser Sr. even running in the 1987 race.

Thanks

Bob

Thats okay, I'll keep it open to anyone that started and you can post your progress whenever you have some.  I myself have too many Irons in the fire and I'm still catching up on many things that happened in 2021.  I would like to get at least one done before the deadline but I know thats probably not going to happen.

Well...it seems like I'm not going to make it across the finish line in time. Life has thrown me too many curveballs since my last post. All the things I am currently dealing with are keeping me away from the bench. I will keep watching everyone else's progress, and I vow to get these two Harriers done. Unfortunately, it won't be for this GB. 

Sorry gang...

Nice bike work there.  Kind of curious how you are going to deal with the figure.

Thanks Gam.  I've got a plan on painting Kenny after reviewing pics of the real leathers.  I wish Tamiya would have keyed his arms so I could add them.  As it stands they'll be painted and secured when I put him on the bike so I can position his hands on the grips correctly.  Same with his head(s)

Great job on the bike and Kenny!!! 

Little more progress - really complicated exhaust pipes and the cowling is proving to be a bit of a challenge.

Kenny is coming together

Nice work O, it's great to see some building going on in here.  Wish I had the time to do the same.

Yeah, thoughs cars can be tough at times Robert.  It's looking great though and your on the final leg.

O: That's a fantastic job- I love the pilot!

Robert: Very cool, you're doing a great job on her! The Ferrari does look a little odd with the top up, I don't think it was ever up on the series since Selleck wouldn't fit into the car with the top on!

I don't know O, the camo looks pretty good to me!

It took two tries, a lot of nervous prying with an xacto knife, and a re-glue of the passenger side door interior, but the frame is now in the body.  

I don't know how you car builders deal with that stress!  Ha ha!

The headlights are allegedly workable, but I will not risk it to see.

Not much left, just a couple body decals for turn signals and the tail lights.  If I had better luck with decal printing I would make a "ROBIN 1" plate, since the kit includes a bland MAGNUM plate.  Such is the way the cookie crumbles...

He looks great O!
