Revell 1969 Camaro SS 396 - Kit contents
Bob Ellis replied to RDean58's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
At $57 , what is the advantage of producing in China? -
$49.95 will be the kiss of death for model car kits. It would have to be the only model kit you want to buy. Our company raised our prices and we now have zero orders.

My hood had a slight overbite. I didn't start with a mint first issue kit but rather an '80s issue. Maybe the mold is not as good as before. Being plastic, it can be fixed

Kit Review! MPC 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Annual!
Bob Ellis replied to RDean58's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The 1966 MPC comes with a 427 big block but no stock exhaust headers. AFIK '66 Vettes didn't have 327 F.I. ,So why the fender badges? -
I like the AMT version of the 1971-73 Mustang better than the MPC version.

65 Mustang fastback promo the way it should look.
Bob Ellis replied to vamach1's topic in Model Cars
I used an AMT 1965 Fastback for a TV "Spenser For Hire" car. I used a current AMT 1966 kit for new chrome too. I swapped the later dual exhaust chassis versus the original single exhaust. What I found is that the new and original chassis are different. Required a lot of cutting and filing -
1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window Coupe Completed
Bob Ellis replied to mrmike's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Back in the '60s, there was a boat gas pumping station in Centre Harbor, NH. The owner had a red '63 Corvette split window with "ULM" New Hampshire license plates. That car will be an upcoming project for me. Mike your project has inspired me to go forward on the project. -
Building the 'Icon' - a 57 Chevy in Sierra Gold
Bob Ellis replied to beeRS's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I built a 57 chevy in the '70s in this color. Very classic. -
The AMT was endorsed by Ford and made as a promo model. For this reason , the AMT lacked chassis detail. MPC had a clean slate and built ther's as a model kit. It's six of one, half dozen of the other, I guess

Very nice, Steve.

I got hold of Ron Andrews on Facebook message. I got my order very quickly. You ask him if he has the mold to make a resin kit for you.
