Mr Stock Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I have the "Diamond In The Rough" kit upstairs, bought it about 10 years ago for about £25, its a very cool kit, but Id love to see more combo kits released especially the drag combos.

Toner283 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 For the Diamond in the Rough kit, the F100 has been released many times, the service trailer has been released at least twice but as far as I know that 40 Ford sedan has only been released once. The F100 was originally a 3 in 1 trophy series kit from the 60's. IIRC you could build the Barris Wildkat truck from the original kit.

tooltas Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 can the 40' be done as a show car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toner283 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 can the 40' be done as a show car Not the one in the diamond kit. it comes with dents and rusted edges on the fenders already. 1 running board has a dent if I remember correctly and it also has broken windows with bullet holes in them. the chrome tree has bent bumpers one mag wheel and other things that make it look like a true barn find car. I have an old built up from when I was a kid. I will try to take pictures of it and post some up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1962Savoy Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Yes...send them your suggestions Yes I totally agree, Yell at them Tell them how bad you want it, and maybe they willl do it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toner283 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The modified stocker, hauller and truck shown above are the same truck and trailer as the diamond kit. I don't know for sure because I have never had either of the kits in my hands but the cal drag combo and the Penske hauler above also look like they have the same service trailer in them as the diamond kit. The service trailer was also issued once through the blueprinter reissue program as a stand-alone kit. I would definitely like to see the Chevelle drag team kit reissued. Or even just the altered wheelbase Chevelle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) yes, that's the thing: once they tool up something utility or unique like a trailer, they use it for anything it will fit. that double axle trailer from AMT has been used in a dozen kits as mentioned above. maybe with little accessory changes for each release, but the basic main trailer. I think ALL the trailers illustrated above, except the smaller utility trailer, are exactly the same basic parts, with and without front and side half-panels. the one illustrated above that I really need is the "Indy" (as in independent I would have to guess?) race team with the Nova wagon pulling the nova race car. now that's kool jb Edited February 28, 2014 by jbwelda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 The Nova wagon kits would be my first choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToyLvr Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 The Chevelle kit is one of my "Holy Grail" kits. Didn't know about the Nova. All of them are neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrux Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 The Indy drag combo with the Novas has another set in the background that could be issued now but couldn't back when it was new... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk11 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Here a picture of other rare combo kits everyone would love to see reissued. You missed one.... Would sure make a cool combination with just about any Ford drag car. mike Edited March 1, 2014 by mk11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel-Dan Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 The Twin axle trailer was First introduced by AMT/SMP in their 60 Chevy Pickup kit!! A similar single axle version was in the 60 F-100. (I have one of the 60 Fords With that trailer Both versions in 60 could be built as either the trailer, Or as a Display platform. I have the Penski set with the Twin axle version too They Did change the tongue to accept a More accurate Tow ball versus the large Pin used in the original releases. I too would Love to see some of these return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) It would be nice. I have seen the Trailer and Galaxie as a Blueprinter release. The Falcon was out from Model King not that long ago. I do believe it is just the altered wheelbase car .

thatz4u Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 "will you still need me, will you still build me, 'cause I'm a 64?" (sorry Sir Paul, couldn't help it) looks like a great kit, if it does get reissued! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Looks like a great combo and it would be great for a number of modelers if It were to be re-issued. Lately I myself have been more "selective" about buying more kits, as I'll never build all that I already have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC Norton Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 .....if round2 does this, Gregory, I would buy a case...just because I would. this and all the drag team sets are the holy grails of many. even the nova awb box set is possible by replacing the nova wagon with, say, a 65 el camino with the camper. the artwork could easily be altered to use the camino as the tow car....think of it....wow. also, the 68 Shelby drag team set could be a winner for the kats as well, as the Shelby only requires a few parts restored to make it original........lets hope 2015 really is a happy plastic new year.....the ace.....

Repstock Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I'd have to get one just for the box art, assuming it's the same as the one pictured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
