"Beard Of Paradise" was my First 65 Lincoln kit.

I have another unbuilt in the stash

How about the Boarder Patrol issue of AMT's 53 F-1 Pickup, & Tijuana Police issue of their 49 Ford??

I still have the built 49. Molded in yellow.

 

I have 3 of the Desert Race series.

"Boondock Bomber" 59 Buick hardtop,

'Tourista Turismo' 62 Galaxie hardtop

"El Ranchero Grande" 62 Falcon Ranchero

Still have the Ranchero box too.

Tom, those vans are real nice, i have a built one and a unbuilt one, they also have The big Bad chevy, i think thats the name of it, it has a red van on the box cover.

Not a model car, but it is 1/24 scale. How many of you have seen one of these?  This is the only one I've ever seen.  Note the Pocher connection.

Jeez, I built that kit when the show was on TV back in... well, a long time ago.

I don't remember those! Can anybody tell me exactly how that welder worked?

[Scott Colmer]

Manuel,

 

The spinner gun received a "welding tip" of plastic. The spinning created heat via friction. The welding tip melted into the two pieces to be joined. Put a new tip on when the old one was used up. A single tip would make about a 3" long bead. It was not that hard with a little practice. I think I was 12 or 13 when I built mine.

Turns out the Revell Ford Six Wheeler pickup isn't alone; check this bad boy out!

 
The engine is supposedly a 350 turbo diesel; would be interesting to crack it open and find out! Unfortunately, this is one of pj-toys' offerings...

When you said "pj-toys" I didn't have to look to know that it's triple didgets. I'm guessing 300-ish

[kataranga]

[tooltas]

It's amazing how many different kits Revell squeezed out of that Nissan Datsun pickup tooling.
