Will Captain America produce any good 1:18 Items?

[MCalamari]

The Cap America Greyhound (?) doesn't really interest me ... though I suspect that if my nephews ask, I'll cave and buy one for them.

For me, I'd rather buy another 21c halftrack (either side).

I did find one at a local Target last week, $32.00 with tax.
It does have potential....it measures L 13" ( 14" with red bumper, you know thats coming off ) W 6" and H 5 1/2".
Comes with a Capt. America Figure and motor cycle, no shield for the figure and the bike needs Pickelhaube rims.
I haven't had time to start any custom work on it but at least I found one.
I'll take some pics with 21st /1:18 around it.

As you can see its not to over scale, the trick will be getting it to look like this...........

Thanks for the pictures, I'm gonna have to get one of those. Nice to see something that is not underscale.

Seeing it in OD makes a huge difference.

How difficult was it to paint? In other words, if I were to get one and use a Tamiya (sp?) OD spray paint, is it simple enough to mask the parts I want to not change?

MCalamari, I just got out my Bubba paint.... http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=124 'cause thats what I had at the moment.
I needed it one color to really see what I was dealing with, its not difficult at all. Just mask off the wheels and use which ever paint your familiar with.
There is an M-8 Greyhound at a local museum which I'd like photograph to get some detail pics and measurements.
This is it ......... [img][IMG]http://inlinethumb04.webshots.com/46595/2601545780050888682S425x425Q85.jpg[/img][/img]

You're speaking my language or better yet, have reached the limit of my modeling ability (well physical models, computers is another matter).
