niteowl7710 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) After losing out (as in more than I was willing to pay) on a couple of these earlier in 2013, I managed to find this one by accident trying to describe the box art to someone else. Being the first one I've seen in months, I bid on it on a lark, and committed a little highway robbery in the process as these rarely even start below $20, let alone winning it for less than $15. Still don't understand why this, and the '58 that proceeded it have never been reissued. Edited November 14, 2013 by niteowl7710 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydar Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Hey Joe. Company is ARII. Looks to be a decent kit but don't know how it will build up. Unlike a lot of kits from Japan this one does have and engine and opening doors. I does however have a less than great interior and chassis. Exhaust molded in and it looks as if at one time the kit was offered motorized. All in all not a great kit but it may build up as a OK display piece. We shall see if I ever get to it. Thanks for that update. I wonder if the body can be pur on revell 70 chassis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niteowl7710 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) Cool. Does it have a one piece body like the '58 or a multi like the '60? Joe. Despite the Monogram box, this was the "modified" reissue of the 1958 Corvette Revell ProModeler tool. So it's the new (well late-90's new) tooling, one piece body. Perhaps it's never been reissued since it was some what of an odd duck (read slow sales) being a new Revell tool, released in 2002, in a Monogram box. Shades of things to come it can be built as a bone stock '59 or has some flame decals and the large diameter wheels -- prelude to the "California Wheels" marketing line of kits.

Rob Hall Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I like the wheels and tires in that 'Vette kit and the engine...it wasn't a common kit back in that day IIRC. I remember getting one at my LHS in Colorado Springs right around the time I moved to Denver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o-man Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 eBay has been busy taking my money! Some more Japanese cars. Some NASCAR's, some of which might end up as flared fendered street cars. And some American cars. Did the Capri when I was a kid, so call it a nostalgia buy. More VIP style wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I got these as a gift from a very good friend of mine. THANKS!!! So the GTO is unbuilt, actually it's Sealed Inside and that will be built either Factory Stock or a mild Street Machine. '62 Bel Air is nicely built, as is the Chevelle and El Camino: Also there was the Flintstones '31 Ford Chop Top Resin body... And then I bought this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluePopsicle Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) I don't have any pics but I got a new rotary tool from Sam's Club as well as a new Paasche D500 compressor, 10ft air hose, cleaning kit and finally some quick connect fittings from Chicago Airbrush Suppy. Yesterday, I also got hardware put into my ankle. Woohoo! Recovery time = building time. Edited November 16, 2013 by BluePopsicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niteowl7710 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Couple of things off eBay to add to my Lexus collection. First one I've seen of this since the one popped up here a few days ago - which is the first one I had seen in months. Easy to find the VIP car, but the stock one, not so much. Then I got a Tamiya Lexus LS 400 for an absolute steal. Well I had it at an absolute steal...until the USPS got ahold of it. When my mail lady came up to me and handed me a box that looked like it had been run over by a lawnmower. "Some parts fell out I think, we got it this way"... Inside the box (which was well packed)... Since the kit was unsealed the seller put packing peanuts around the bagged runners...fat lot of good that did BUT there is a bright side. The same seller a few days later got another half dozen Lexus kits consigned to them, and they cracked one open to rob the body. So today a nice body shell showed up. Really a credit to the seller who went above and beyond to fix the problem the USPS created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I got a BMF panel line scriber Makes two of us. I grabbed mine about two months ago. And of course, when I go to use it, I can't find it! Very good tool, though, you'll enjoy using it. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) Got some more unbuilt oldies off eBay in the mail yesterday....MPC 1/32 Ferrari 250LM and a pair of 1977-vintage Monogram curbsides--yellow Porsche Carrera and a red Porsche 924. I remember seeing those two in the store as a kid, never had them until now. Edited November 16, 2013 by Rob Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I had a pretty good week. I bought an unbuilt, original IMC Mustang II, A '50 Olds Custom, Ford Race Car Hauler, and I won an AMT 2010 Camaro SS Coupe, and another '50 Olds Custom in our club's raffle. Now I can do a Stock, Nascar, and Custom '50 Olds. On the Olds, I plan to chop the top, do a tuck and roll on the interior, and some body clean-up and customization. Unfortunately on the Mustang ll, I broke the brittle plastic body along the rocker panel. Fortunately I have one of the Lindberg reissues.
