Ben Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Arii American Violence T-Bird. Go to the link, blow up the pic, and read the text.

Draggon Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 That Six Million Dollar Man kit has just about the strangest box art illustration I've ever seen! Yea! Fundimensions were really competition for Arii's wierdness in those days! Arii also had a couple black cross ( HItler's emblem ) kits, I know of a VW, but cant find any pics of it. Fodder for "what were they thinking". I'd love to have a lot of the kits posted for the, ummmm, uniqueness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Greg...where did you get these images or these kits? Those two images look like facing pages of a book, rather than box tops. Edited April 4, 2012 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 When I was a kid I had a ski-doo kit,maybe 1/12.I've never seen another one in person or on any forums There are a few more early '70s snowmobile kits from Japanese manufacturers, too, which I've seen on eBay.

Jon Cole Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 How cool would this be? Says 1/20 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I have that How cool would this be? Says 1/20 scale. I have that Winnebago. They used to give them away at Winnebago dealers. It was made two different ways. The first being an all assembled promo type toy and the second being the "kit" which was the same thing, just disassembled. It has stickers for the stripes and is designed to be motorized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torinobradley Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I have a few in my stash. Here are some. Fiat Abarth 131 with opening doors and clockwork motor Life-Like Roman Chariot with no date to indicate age And a Naval 24 Pounder Cannon with scale rope and chain. The nifty thing about this one is that it's in 1/24th scale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 That Roman Chariot is too cool! I would love to see it "Under Glass!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Maybe not super obscure, but I didn't know there was a 1/16 Ford GT40 'til I saw this: I have that Winnebago.

Scuderia Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 anyone recall this gem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake69 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) These are getting scarce, will occasionally pop up on eBay... Camaro Kammback and Firebird Kammback Also one by Lindberg... And the Spy Hunter 2 model kit by Motormax, nothing more than a metal kit of the Saleen S7 with Spy Hunter 2 badging, but cool nonetheless.

Deathgoblin Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Saw one last night on Ebay. It's called the Moon Mixer. It's a weird little street rod with a space capsule shaped mixer. I looked it up to find pictures and found it's a variant of one of the kits I'm after: "Dr. Crooks Medicine Show".

sjordan Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) That "MAT-VEHICLE" is surprising. Under the stickers, it's a Mazda Cosmo (Mazda's first Wankel-powered car that hit the streets in 1967) - didn't know there was a kit.

Dave Van Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 anyone recall this gem? Not a model....but not a toy....it's a nothing!!!! How Ertl AMT allowed that kit to slip through is unbelievable!! The interior was molded flat and you fold it up to create a bucket..... Ertl owes us for that one still!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Those two images look like facing pages of a book, rather than box tops. Casey you are correct.
