MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. No, it's not a snap kit. It is a reissue of this kit from the Hot Rod series: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-7116-firebird-street-machine--1158132
  2. I have way too many of the old Revell '57 Chevy hardtop with opening doors. The MPC '65 Corvette annual is another favorite. Tough for me to pass those up when I see one for a good price. Also have soft spots for the Jo-Han '64 Dodge, AMT '40 Ford coupe, and AMT '32 Ford roadster (especially the original issue from 1959).
  3. The red stock version of the Revell kit (think it was #7602) from the late 90s had the crossover. The Roth version might have it too. Can't remember for sure, but there might be a few other engine pieces that aren't in the earlier versions of the kit.
  4. I think Okey was selling that old stock much earlier, possibly 2000 or thereabouts. The Rambler wagon and snap Turbine car were about the same time, and this was well before 2006. After the Seville liquidation, I bought two inexpensive cases of the Pro Street Rambler kits from a seller on eBay. If I remember correctly that was in 1998 or '99.
  5. Can't speak to these tools, but last year I bought a set of inexpensive (~$5) drill bits for a pin vice on Amazon that turned out to be absolutely worthless...the bits aren't able to drill holes in styrene. Sometimes the cheap stuff turns out to be surprisingly good, but that was definitely not the case with the bits that I purchased.
  6. If I remember correctly, the tubular axle will mount to one of the leaf springs directly (probably the low one), you don't need to use the spring mounting blocks (they work with the dropped front axle).
  7. If I remember correctly, Tamiya's kit of the original Toyota Celsior/Lexus LS400 had complete engine detail. No idea how easy those kits are to track down...
  8. This is the Revell slick from the old Mickey Thompson Attempt 1 kit. If I remember correctly, it was made in two widths. One width for the Attempt 1, and a slightly narrower version for the Sox & Martin '67 GTX, Drag-On-Lady '67 Coronet, and possibly a few other kits.
  9. I tried the Revell Chrome spray today. It looks really good in person (and even better outside in the sun), but I don't think my iPhone camera is doing a great job capturing it. Seems to be very easy to apply. I sprayed it over Sixties-era Revell chrome on this wheel.
  10. The Revell Sauber C9 is a reboxed version of the Hasegawa kit.
  11. I'm nearly certain it's a Revell ’62 Fury, that like you said started as a two-door hardtop.
  12. The 1:43 was under the Monogram brand....that's the only Revell or monogram '67 Corvette kit that was packed with photo etch.
  13. This one is the Fujimi kit. At different times, Revell-Germany issued both the Fujimi and the Esci Mercedes 190 kits.
