MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Yes. MPC tooled up a separate Toronado for 1967. I have 1, it differs from the AMT/Jo-Han in that the underhood is a single piece, and has the front fender marker lights, that the AMT issued Jo-Han does not. also MPC used the same metal axle up front as in the rear MPC Updated the Toronado for 68, then 69. After that I think was the Mannix Roadster, then the "Californian" Custom That one was recently re-issued in the Retro-Deluxe series. Yes I would love to see Stock versions available again, but.........
  2. Only the Matador might be able to be re-issued, as that WAS an AMT kit from the start. The 1/25 AMX and Javelin kits were AMT Boxed Jo-Han kits, and likely were scrapped back in the 80's or 90's at the latest AMT also boxed the 70 Olds Toronado. Again Permanently lost. As a 1961 model myself, YES, I would love to see that entire listing offered again, but..............
  3. Actually, Some of the other issues of this Vanagon have had the Second grill (Water Cool grill) as a Decal. Now it is finally a styrene part. I have the original Orange Joker Camper issue, "Krankentransporter"(Ambulance), Fire Department "ELW" U.N Bus And this New 'Pizza Boy' issue. Yes this kit was offered as the "Magnum PI" Island Hoppers Bus WAY back when I think the vent in the rear roof pillars should be filled in if you build it as a water cooled version. Now.......Will we see that Styrene Secondary grill offered in later versions of this kit???? I traded 2 of the original camper to get a sealed Ambulance. I now have 2 more Ambulance kits, 1 sealed inside and 1 started but incomplete. I have 2 of the ELW. both complete unstarted, but 1 missing the instructions. The only difference in the ELW and standard Bud is the placement of the second seat. (Lead/Front bench) It is reversed facing a table and the third seat. The 2 benches are included in this kit so a standard bus can be built I also have one of the second issue of the Westfalia Joker (White over blue built on the boxart Can you tell I like the Vanagon?
  4. I have the "Street Sleeper" 65 GTO kit. Most parts were deleted from the kit. I am glad this version was issued before the kit was butchered into the Dirt Racing issue. Mine came with the paint (Testor's can size) But did not have the stock parts
  5. can the caps be printed separately, or with Stock rims vs. the customs rims shown?? I don't care for those "Rubber-band" type tyres!!
  6. But..... How Much?? I have not seen these for less than $50. each. and most at $75.++
  7. I would Definitely love a Suburban!!!
  8. What happened to the 1/32 56 Buick Customized kit?? That 1 is shown in the catalog, but I have not seen it out yet. Also wondering about the MoPar 62's!! Have the Newport convert. would like the others too
  9. Are we getting two new versions of this rampdeck or just one?? This thread lists it as a 69, And a new thread shows a 70 now coming out shortly. Whichever, I do want at least one version of this truck.
  10. Been doing a little cutting on mine. Front axle is getting Working steering added. Did that on ALL the other Moebius pickup kits, so...
  11. I built several of these kits back when. I did not have trouble with any of them. Even have a 56 Nomad kitbashed from THREE kits (started this BEFORE Monograms 56!) Revell 56 Sedan, & 57 Nomad parts, plus AMT 55 nomad parts Need to dig that one out again
  12. Got 1 coming myself. Along with a '65 Longbox I will now have 1 of each year 65 through 72 plus the New tow truck
  13. I figured that. No need to tool up a different ramp bed. Likely the 69 in Prototype/Fullsize pics was the first they could get pics of with a 69 grill.
  14. I built that Sears set WAY Back When!! Got it NEW at the time through my OLD Sears Catalog desk storefront here in Town. Painted her in 7th grade shop class. (Graduated high school 1979--you do the math) Been a while, but have seen the second decal sheet as I was looking through those for something I needed Likely been 15-20 years though
  15. I had a few of these kits. I loved them. I have the Sears set, Yes, it was the 2 separate kits taped or wrapped together with the Sears decals incuded. Each kit had the decals, so you got 2 complete sheets. I also have the K-Mart and Pepsi sets I never got the Wrecker, but would still Love to find that one!!!!
