I'm looking for a plastic model of a 1954 Ford Customline, 4 door.
It's for a friend who owned one when he was in highschool.

comes with the desert scheme decals. Also Micro-scale (super-scale)
makes them. So if someone wants to sell or trade please let me know.

I have not been able to find plastic model kits of subway trains.  I checked

I would appreciate any suggestions or comments.

Has anyone cut down the Revell 72 scale U Boat to a waterline version?

I would like to make my own accurate 1/32nd scale Mk-84, 200lb general
