That '61 Falcon is definitely a suprise. Is that a four door too?

The Premier kit (top photo) is indeed a 4 door. It's an odd scale, supposed to be 1/32 but who knows. It's too narrow and is more like a characture than a replica. The bottom photo is an Aussie resin, thick fiberglass. But I did get the windows opened and it sitting on a chassis.

Now I've seen everything. It's Perri the squirrel model kit by Revell.

If you've ever heard of Yamada, give yourself one point. If you've ever seen this kit, give yourself two points. If you own this kit, you have won life:

I remember seeing the real thing several years back.and it was early Hemi powered ( man that car was cool )

And until I stumbled on this via Ebay I never knew a kit of it existed.

Not in my normal interests line, but one of these might just end up on my radar someday.

That's neat, haven't seen that kit it before.

I have seen a few other remote control kits similar to that, not that one - I don't think they were made by Yamada, though

Here is a kit I got in a large lot a few years ago (most were planes/jets):

I think Matchbox made a diecast version of that Benz in the early seventies!

My dad still has the koala and puppy from that series.

[kataranga]

Just saw this guy today. Now I want one!

[oldscool]

Ah, so it was AMT that did the shortened Beetle kits. I remember building one with a yellow car on the box. It could also be built as an open rail

[kataranga]

After reading a little more about this kit it apparently uses the same chassis as the Meyers Manx.

It does. There was another version before this one with a "stock" Beetle nose too.

[Draggon]

Here are 2 versions of the "normal" nose. They show up on ebay from time to time.

I found this photo on my computer and searched the thread, thinking I had posted this, but couldn't locate it.

Anyway, I would run through a field of thistle in my skivvies for this kit!



I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but c'mon, you have to admit, a guy with a bike and some sort of masked wrestler/super hero puppet show starting up? Who wouldn't want that?

Same series:




They do pop up occasionally.

[Daddyfink]

Here are a few weird ones in my collection and one my friend Craig found at a kit show recently that blew my away!







And the really wild one, at least to me!

[Don Sikora II]

I actually have one of those Faller The Bridge on the River Kwai kits. It always makes me think of Higgins from Magnum PI.

I'm guessing the kit is from the late 1950s. The lighter color "wood" pieces in my kit are molded with darker swirls in the plastic that makes for a surprisingly decent woodgrain effect.
