Alex First of all Sorry for "lurking" around without register or introduce myself  But I just found this place via Mr.Blacks Blogg  Also sorry to tell, my Poncho won´t see any progress in along time  Too many other projects are lined up before. It seems like I don´t get anything finished  But my brakefluid bath is always filled with kits ;D Here´s the most recent project out of the bath:  |

I'm curious about something and I probably need to speak to someone that worked for either S M P or A M T at the time . I have noticed over the years that kits made by these two companies from 1958 until at least 1961 had a "Funny" color that Distorted the Chrome finish on the parts . I've always been curious as to why this occurred . ed Shaver

I have had some vintage kits that had perfect chrome and others had a whole tree of "aluminum" looking chrome lol |
