South Shannon/van wert decatur road Sohio service station: Superior Auto. E main st Service station Unknown currently vacant N. Washington st Unkown former service station and former used car lot :now vacant.
  3. Any better engine's from either AMT or MPC to replace the junk that comes in the '76 Caprice kit?? I think that the '70 Monte Carlo has every thing in the correct location, to match the Caprice, but not sure of this.
  4. Sherriff of Rottingham: Wasn't your mole on the other side??? Prince John: I have a MOLE????? Richard Lewis was funny in Mel Brook's Robin Hood
  5. Since I traded the Jaguar for a Caprice already I'll Pass on another copy.
  6. which of the remaining kit's interest you?
  7. Make some offer's maybe you'll have something of interest.
  8. Yep they made a real one for the movie. and the Pink Hot wheels version
  9. No Ertl only made the Trucks, scout II's, Pay Hauler 350 and Farm tractor/wagon/plow. You will have to try either a resin caster or 3d printer model supplier
  10. Actually it's the Corvette from the 2023 Barbie movie. The car used in the movie was an EV Corvette. Hot wheels issued it in pink, and it looks like turquoise as well. Note the door behind the front wheel and above Chevrolet script......
  11. All ours got was The James Bond Diamonds are Forever Police car, the Polar lights Charger dragster, Ricksha junk, and wacky racer model. Only atlantas kit was the Odd ball scaled B-24.
  12. Up for trade are: AMT 2021 Dodge Charger Factory sealed or Polar Lights '69 Dodge Charger (hot wheel's) funny car dragster. 1984 MPC Mustang SVO Box is ruff, kit still in factory bag, glass has some tire burn. Molded in Canada packaged in U.S.A .. Molded in silver. AMT Jaguar XJ220, AMT '70 Corvette (molded in orange). Looking for a great dane dry goods semi trailer, Chevy sod buster kit, 76 Caprice, Re Copies of the AMT C-1500/3500 kit's one kit deal ! one dodge for kit's I'm looking for.
  13. As it states I want a copy of the Great Dane Dry goods Trailer from Ollie's. I have a sealed 2021 Dodge charger, or a open but not started '70 Corvette, Or revell Dodge ram pickup to trade. I'm on a fixed income so I can't buy the higher priced kit's such as Moebius Trailers, or rebox AMT truck's from a european maker to use for trading. BUT Then why would I trade a modern trailer kit for a reissued trailer kit that is around 50 years old??
  14. Van Wert Ohio's Ollies just has the loser non sellers . Green hornet 1'32, Mach 5 speed racer and star trek. When wal mart had the AMT kit's in mid last year they had to reduce the star trek kits to get rid of them! Seem's that Star Trek isn't a big seller around this area.
  15. With the Ex-wife 1994-1997, I didn't get many and the hobby was about nil. 1. Because in 1995 our son was born, then Feb 0f 1997 our daughter. Kids came first with me! 2. The fact she lied before we got married that she liked the hobby, only to use it as a weapon that I loved it more than I loved her, 3. I loved the children more than I did her. 4. She loved to smoke, read romance book's and Cheat! She left us for a 17 year old punk! The late wife was very supportive of the hobby, and would build when she was able to. But she had tremors in her hands most of the time. Our marriage was from 1999-2013 The ex also caused the children to be taken from our home, I fought to get them back, but because I was a single male . The state disliked me with a passion! If I got on the floor to play with my children that was wrong! If I tried to read to them That was also cutting into their play time, and If I sat and watched them play I wasn't interacting with them????
  16. still looking for these decal's
  17. First off I know the 55 parts would be more common but the are dark purple. So I'm looking for the rear fender's , step plates, and tail gate from the '57 step side 3100 Pickup.
  18. Need the orange/tan/yellow decals. If any one has one's that they don't have plans for.
  19. On either the Transtar 4070A or Transtar II It can be a hard job painting the Alternator without getting paint on other spot's. My trick is to carefully remove the Alternator, and paint it seperate then reattach it . Using a #11 hobby blade knife carefully cut the Alternator at it's attaching points (the area where the alternator is "bolted" to the bracket, Both front and back at the bracket, and then where it attaches at the bottom. with the Alternator now off the bracket ect can be paint either IH Red or any color the engine maybe painted. after the Alternator and the other part has dried reattach the Alternator then ad the belt/pulley.
