My nephew (an adult) just got this neat old 1/8 scale kit as a birthday present. I had one as a kid back in the 60s, and I know it’s been reissued several times over the years. Does anybody know any specific background info on this kit? We’re trying to figure out how old it is. As you can see from the pix, the tires are white plastic, the body is molded in a “sparkle” red plastic. thanks, in advance, for your help.

A while back, I posted a photo of a well-used ‘72 Ford station wagon I saw as I passed through the scenic little town of Bellevue, KY. I wondered where it came from, and who was driving it. Now I finally found out where it was from, and it wasn’t alone… 😁 -
The early issues of the Jo-Han Chrysler Turbine Car had foil for the rocker panels. Those kits go back to approx 1964. And now we can start yet another new topic heading for another obscure kit item🤪 Personally, I like the one about “what kits are molded in green?” 😆

Yippee! #209 has arrived Friday 8/27/21. I resubscribed after several years. We’ll see how it goes...

I may have mentioned this before in another post, but I use baby food containers for storage of misc parts, etc. For those of you not up to speed on baby food, it comes in nice little plastic containers with snap-on lids these days, instead of the old glass jars. I discovered these while watching my grandkids eat😆 So, if you have any family or friends with little kids, ask them to save their containers for you instead of tossing them in the recycling bin.

OK, I’ll limited it to automotive related. Rose Martin of Rhode Island passed away back in 1998. She made a strange request of her family and community, namely that she wanted to be buried in her beloved 1962 Chevy Corvair. Now, that’s dedication to your car! And some of you think a car-shaped headstone is weird? Check this out....

Another one for my home museum of oddball built-up models. Here we have a ‘63(?) Mercury Comet with a custom front & rear clip. It was advertised as a “Vintage Ford Custom”, but I knew right away from the rear fins that it had to be a Comet, so I took a chance on it.😆

Yeah, saving private Ryan is a good one. If you like war movies or military history, add “We Were Soldiers” and “Glory” to your list. I recently got to see the relatively new movie “The Last Full Measure”, another sobering story from the Vietnam era, along with the aforementioned “We Were Soldiers”.....

Loved the music in the first movie - got the “album” on my Apple Music...

66 Corvair Stretch Limo. For Sale!
ToyLvr replied to Mike999's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
There was a really nice one built back in the 1980s by the late Don Filkins of the Corvair Club of Cincinnati. He donated it to a museum. It was a very well-crafted vehicle. Would be an interesting prototype for a modeling project😆 -
