here's one i hadnt seen before

60jerry,

I have been finding since I work as a mechanic for a living doing aviation sheetmetal and riveting panels for 25 years that my hands are not as steady as they used to be. Nerves are somewhat shot.

I bought an AMT petty short track dodge dart at hobby lobby with a 40% off coupon and got to working on it. Now I have to put the parts I need to do fine paint detail in a fixture, and hold my painting hand with my other hand braced against the table. I have not had much time lately to finish it as I am sheetmetalling my sons 1-1 69 barracuda that we are working on.

The plastic quality on the newer kits seems very weak compared to the plastic used in the 60s,70s,and 80s. I loved the JoHan kits especially the MoPars. It's a shame johan went out of business. I regarded their kits as something special. I am getting my son into plastic kits as well. He finds them fun to do.
