69NovaYenko Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Is there a 1:25 scale source for "Continental Kits" be they kitted or resin cast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Dunno, but if you tell me any kits that had them, if I have that kit, be glad to send it/them to you. I can't imagine ever wanting/needing/using one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 The Revell '58 and '59 Chevys both have connie kits like in your pics. Thier '55 Chevy convertible has one in some issues. The first issue for sure, don't think it's in the Indy Pace Car issue though. Also, a lot of the old Annual kits from the early '60s had them.

Ramfins59 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Modelhaus makes the round continental tire cover as a 3 piece unit (front & back cover and chromed ring). They usually include those in their kits that come with a connie kit, but I was able to buy several of them from them separately a few years ago for $5 each. I made my own continental kit "deck" from sheet plastic. I've only made the full width continental kits as I think they look better than the "basket" style ones pictured above.

Ramfins59 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I think the reissued '59 Imperial also came with a basket style continental kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can-Con Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I have the 58 and '59 Chevy parts. I'm looking for a set of the big custom wheels and tires from the Resto Rods issue of the AMT '66 Galaxie or '66 Mustang. Here's what the boxes look like.
