unclescott58 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Cordoba and a Charger. Cool. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) I thought I recognized those wheels on the trailer as being from the IMC kits. I wouldn't mind having one of their '65 Plymouths again. Very obscure kit, but two showed up on eBay this past week - Premier's 1/24th scale English Ford Prefect 100E: It would need a lot of whittling to correct, especially around the windshield and side windows, but it would be a great alternative body for a gasser! Anyone here have one? Edited September 26, 2014 by ChrisBcritter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunc Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I have that Charger too. And the twin/Modified Cordoba. Built Way Back When! The white one is the Charger (Painted afte r the plastic yellowed badly) , the Green, the Cordoba. (only the Vinylsection of the roof is painted here--Plastic polished otherwise) The one trailer is from MPC's 1/32 73+Chev Stepside pickup The Flatbed is Scratch-Built Oh Yea, I replaced the small Lindberg tires with rubber/Vinyl ones from IMC 1/32 Nascar kits that were converted from Slotcar bodies. So they are Not correct for a Street driver!!!! But, They Do Fill the wheel wells better!!!!!!!!! And, Yeah, I think I need to re-paint the Charger!! you could have used slot car wheels/tires...

Edsel-Dan Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Since the IMC kits Were Slotcar bodies with a Flat interior plate, with a promo type chassis added, I Did use Slotcar tires!! (Didn't I??) Yes, The rims on the Orange trailer Are from on of the IMC 'Kits' tires on it are the Lindberg CHarger/Cordoba pieces!! Rims on the flatbed trailer I think came from an MPC 1/32 Chevy Pickup, Tires are MPC 2-pc Styrene likely from the Tran Am Police kit I have 2 of those and one has Lindberg tires on it Edited September 29, 2014 by Edsel-Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Smith Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 More from the 71 Cougar above - from eBay Japan...looks like an interesting kit - I am not one to judge accuracy on a mercury Cougar though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I would like to see a built one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysleder Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Anyone here have one? I do. Funny thing is - it was bought over the counter at a (severely disorganized) local hobby shop about three years ago. The box is pretty much gone, but the content is all there. It will take quite a bit of dedication to make anything out of it though. Edited November 13, 2014 by lysleder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 I do. A four-door on the box, but a two-door inside the box? Am I seeing that correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZTony8 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 In my stash I have a Fujimi Nissan Micra Nismo version that shows a 2 door on the box but the kit body is a four door.Misleading advertising for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lady who owns a 1:1 version hotrodded with a Pinto engine. Twice as much power as the stock engine. I'd love to have a kit like yours.

lysleder Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 This one is not impossibly old, but is somewhat obscure and I'm sure quite a few of you never knew it existed. Behold the Aoshima '99 FD3S RX-7 in C-WEST trim. Nothing too special so far, but this one is the Left Hand Drive issue. You don't see these too often.

Just noticed. It looks like body is already painted in this kit. Is that true? And if so, in how good of a job? And is it possible to see more photos of this kit?

Atmobil Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 The Faller "Brücke am Kwai" kit was reissued in the Eighties. There is one on Ebay Germany. Click: I wouldn't happen to be this kit that Higgins was building on in the Magnum P.I. series? I remember he was building the bridge over the river Kwai apparently because he was there when the real thing happend. I belive our hero Thomas managed to destroy the model at one point, maybe because he was chased by the lads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmobil Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 This one is one of those batteling for the title worst kit ever. No, I don't have this one. It's the Revell kit, but under another Logo. I did look at this "gem" of a Mercedes from Sharp when we was at a modelingshow in Sweden last year. It is truly bad, I'm interested in one but only because I own a 1:1 Mercedes /8, a 1975 240D and to be honest, if I had bought it I would never have built it. Here is some pictures of the contents: They seller wanted 1000 swedish Kroner for it, quite a lot when other kits I bought there was Revells Ice Patrol Chevy pickup with snowmobile and also Revells 1:16 Chevy stepside with motocrossbike called Mountain Cruiser. These where 400 swedish kroner each. According to the online currency calculator 1000 Swedish kroner is 133USD at the moment. I have seen more expensive kits but they have also looked more like what they are supposed to look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmobil Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I have not looked trough all of the 42 pages of this thread but has anyone posted this before? It os 1:25 scale (1:25ish anyway) and like many old promos made in acetat plastic so like so many old promos it has wapred beoynd repair. Very simple kit, apparently sold by the Buick dealers (that also sold Opel in the states). I got if of Ebay some years ago. Don't remember what I paid for it but who cares about the price anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Here's some pictures of one of those Opels assembled. Mine has a broken front bumper but really isn't warped. I see that yours has an interior, do you have glass? Mine has neither. Edited December 13, 2014 by Tom Geiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
