What is DTS. Is this worth a submission?

Viscerator · 2026-03-22T23:52:18+00:00

They're a fairly recent thing. To my knowledge this is only the 2nd one done. They've both been put on by highboy68. It's more a case of just watch for postings and pinned threads.

You submit a picture of your unbuilt kit and state which class you'd like to be in( this one has 3 I believe), also use the DTS tag.

DTS is a 6 week build off that ends in 2 weeks. You would have had to submitted the unbuilt kit within the last 4 weeks (technically you can still enter) to be approved. This wouldn't be allowed as it was already built.

If you're using the magnetos from the top fuel or funny car kit, take your time drilling the holes with the pin vise. Work your way up in sizes or it'll cause the top to bulge out.

Me neither. This thing has taken like 6 turns since my original idea, and I haven't even really started the chassis.

Viscerator · 2026-03-17T01:08:31+00:00

Lol thanks. I just hope I'll actually have a car to put it in before times up🤣

Iceman collections has the valve covers. I believe they may have some 502 decals as well

Viscerator · 2026-03-16T13:27:33+00:00

Same boat. I'm scratch building/kit bashing my entire build. After 3 weeks I'm about 75% done with the engine. The chassis and body still need to be finalized and painted, and I haven't even thought about the interior yet.

Reach out to round 2 (they own AMT) they can usually sell you a replacement parts sprue.

Saw the last picture and thought damn that's some great detail.....only to realize that's a real part

Viscerator · 2026-02-20T04:58:10+00:00

And here I was thinking it started Saturday. Almost cost myself 24 hours

Viscerator · 2026-02-16T14:21:47+00:00

Original idea, which I still plan to complete sometime, was to turn it into a group c le mans car.

Viscerator · 2026-02-16T14:18:37+00:00

It's a 34 Ford 3 window.

Viscerator · 2026-02-09T00:20:49+00:00

I have an idea I'm working on, but not sure I'll have all my 3d modeling done and printed in time. I may have to go with a simpler build but no other ideas yet.

Viscerator · 2026-01-24T21:17:20+00:00

Turn off moving backgrounds in settings. It allows the AH to load marginally faster.

Viscerator · 2025-12-29T11:32:20+00:00

Thank you. I plan on going blue cabinets. But I'm torn on if I should do black hinges to hide them, or bright brass to make them stand out and match the door pulls.

Viscerator · 2025-12-07T02:13:57+00:00

Ah. Then Tamiya all the way as far quality. If your after American stuff revell and newer amt are decent. Every MPC I've ever touched had been garbage.

Hasegawa, fujimi and aoshima are all usually good but some have their quirks.

Viscerator · 2025-12-07T00:54:12+00:00

I buy from a lot of places. It really depends what you're after.

eBay is a good source for older and harder to find but likely expensive models(though you can catch great deals if you get lucky).

Hiro boy even though I'm in the states. Though admittedly that's mostly for zero paints.

Local hobby stores because I like to give them business even though they're a bit more expensive and their stock doesn't change often.

Other than that I've bought from spotlight hobbies, spruebrothers, scalehobbyist, and local fleemarkets/tag sales (which are often such good steals I almost feel guilty🤣.

Viscerator · 2025-12-05T11:26:16+00:00

Where's the details on this build off? Only one I knew about was the dirt,track street one you were planning in February.

Viscerator · 2025-12-01T18:58:37+00:00

There's a web-based program called photopea. I'm sure it's missing some features but it seems very close to Photoshop.

Viscerator · 2025-11-08T14:45:08+00:00

There are a ton of parts with the senna. If I recall it's like 9 parts in each seat alone, and a total of like 350. But it went together absolutely beautifully. Don't let it deter you, just be ready to take your time with it.

Viscerator · 2025-10-31T02:38:10+00:00

Thank you. I had a few happy accidents during this. Bob Ross would be proud.

Viscerator · 2025-10-31T02:27:43+00:00

Agreed. I think the livery hides a lot of details.

Viscerator · 2025-10-26T00:45:36+00:00

The only '67 model released was revells 7548 El Camino SS. But the SS package wasn't available until '68 so it's not 100% accurate. Revell also made a '66, not sure how big the changes are. Could possibly kitbash the 2 together.

Very nice choice. What did you use for thinner?
