Gibson Engines

If you haven't seen a Gibson engine yet, now would be a good time to Google it. The engines are extremely detailed replacement engines for models in 1/24th - 1/25th scale. These are resin replicas of the real deal in smaller scale and well worth a look. They are priced starting in the low to mid twenty dollar range. I have not had the chance to pick one up yet, but one of these days I know just where to put a few.... I thought I had better add that these are kits that you build... not pre built kits to display.

Gibson engines come in just about all formats, though Chrysler seems to be replicated the most with every engine from the slant six cylinder up to several versions of the 426 Hemi. Chevy and Ford seem to be behind in Gibson engines offerings, but there are several high performance motors offered.

I also wanted to mention Detail Master, an aftermarket supplier of detail parts to add realism to a model car beyond what most new builders can imagine. Wiring sets for ignitions, gauges and gauge faces, wire looms, carburetor linkages, radio faces, speaker grilles, and more. Google "Detail Master" and have a look!

The camaro hasn't gotten much improvement since last I posted. I did manage to work on the tail panel a bit last night and filed and sanded the hood scoop a little. The engine is dry enough now to touch without ruining the paint, so hopefully I can get some time to work on it more tonight.
