It looks like the front bumper support. But make sure it's not for the Camaro.....Salvinos groups parts together and at times you get stuff you do not need. Can you locate the Toyota front bumper support??? This one looks Camaro to me....Mustang is flat, Toyota a little more pointed. MUSTANG FRONT SUPPORT.....looking at both....could be Mustang?????

Not a high mark year for me. I started a few more but all are stalled. I did finish 3 kits and I am really happy with those. I was working on my real 23 Ford hot rod and doing more work on my O scale railroad. Busy year even if it does not look like it!!! Thanks https://public.fotki.com/DaveVan51/2023-model-builds/

What non-auto model did you get today?

I have the T1 kit. My father in law gave it to me back about 1985 before any decent RTR versions were made. It's built and runs......but just not real well. The two BLI Pennsy T1 locos I got when my father in law passed run much better. Those old Bowser kits are cool and a real piece of history. Hard to think how many different kits they made and how many of each!!! -
Anyone know who made this?
Dave Van replied to redscampi's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Looks like a Mini Exotics kit. Some of the parts look just like some I have. -

My OPINION.......... The AMT kits ae overstock kits.....thus price sticker outside. The Revell kits, all not recent cataloged kits and made 3rdQ 2023, these were made for Ollies and were priced before shrink. The sticker inside is done to hurt the resellers.......weather Ollies or Revell pushed for this......who knows. -

I picked up the AMT 1/200 Moonraker Space Shuttle kit at Ollies for $11. Kit looks OK for a 1/200 scale kit.....but decals are Army Green and not the orange they should be. Waste.... -

There is no logic as far as what store gets what. The Mooresville NC store must have had 100 Great Dane trailers.....but my local store....ZERO. I think as the boxes of kits arrive at Ollie's dist they just slap a store label....no matter the mix of kits. -

Upcoming MPC Reissues - '79 Nova and '73 Cougar
Dave Van replied to Justin Porter's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The Nova ran in NASCAR Busch series for a while, the Cougar was used by a few short track guys.....so there's that. Back in the day I cut up a Cougar to make my Montego Cup car.....no laughing the build is from 1974!! -

Made a recon trip to see if anything new at my store. NOTHING after all the stuff we saw last week in Mooresville thought we may get something. Save me $$$$$ -
Not 100% sure this is the oldest.....but it is among the oldest I still have. It is a Wood's Bros #21 Mercury driven by David Pearson. It started life as a JoHan 1972 Gran Torino NASCAR kit. I reworked it into a 1973 Montego. I used a 73 Cougar grille, modified. Rear quarters were smoothed. I built this about 1975 so long before resin bodies, aftermarket decals etc. The Purolator is dry transfer lettering. The other decals were from the MPC Wood's kit. I pulled the kit from storage and decided to leave it as is......It may look rough.....but she is 45+ years old!!!
