I work on these things almost every day, if you're familiar with AMC products you'll know what I mean when I say they're fatherless pieces of...poorly made products. I've seen these tugs with Ford, Chrysler and, Wisconsin engines, they almost all use Chrysler (from the 80's) A-413 transaxles Chevy 3/4 ton truck front and rear axles and brakes, some Dana 40 series front and 60 series rear axles. Eagle calls them all wheel drive, but with an open diff being used as a transfer case, an open front diff. and an open rear diff. if it's anywhere near a bit of ice it'll sit and spin any one wheel and refuse to move. Wired by a poorly trained chimpanzee and the reliability of a snowball in hell. F4models has pretty much nailed it: Out of the box, built and painted in less time than it takes to type this To go with my DHC-8 400 Thanks for looking

Revell 1/25 oob Tamiya lacquer and acrylic. I wired the engine and added a couple of details. Easy as falling off a log The model fit's great (other than the hood) with a lot of build options...This example would be something mechanics of my era would frown on, it's got the original 327 engine with a 2 speed auto and low voltage ignition and 4bbl carb but the body and interior are mint. I always subscribed to the policy of build the drive train fist then finish the interior and body. Oh well, it's just a plastic model. As always, striving for mediority Thanks for looking

Alternatives to Photo-Etched Saws
chrish replied to Thunnus's topic in Construction & Scratch-building
I use them almost exclusively to remove parts from the sprues, it does take a moment longer to remove the part but leaves little to no excess to sand/ trim from the part. I do not glue them along the fold anymore as it simply makes no difference to the life of the saw. what I do is cut the saw off much closer to the functional part of the blade (I use the engraved slash marks as a cut line and cut them off at or about the second line from the blade (on the engraved angle indicated) I've learned through bent blades to only pull the blade back, not push ahead as they will invariably only take a couple of hard pushes to get a nasty Z bend in the blade. If pulled they will go many many cuts with no issue. I've cut plastic, aluminum and, brass rod with mine....and still cuts this tomato (old Ginsu knife commercial) the blades in your post show the coarse blades there's another fret with fine blades that work awesome for removing clear components from their sprue with no stress marks or crazing, your mileage will vary of course but I wont be without them anymore.
