CometMan Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I suppose I should have seen that '49 Ford coming since I Just picked up the AMT/ERTL one! Fortunately I paid about what the new one will cost with the 40% coupon at H/L or Michael's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunc Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I find it interesting to note the Munster Coach has been renamed Barris Koach... licensing issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I find it interesting to note the Munster Coach has been renamed Barris Koach... licensing issues?No reference to the TV show. Those kits were sold in a box like that for most of the Seventies (a staple item on K-Mart shelves, along with the '57 Chevy and the Red Alert Chevelle!). No reference to the Munsters because the show wasn't in reruns everywhere. The original box gave both cars different names: the dragster was the Overtaker, I forget what the Munster Koach was called even though this came up in a conversation a couple of weeks ago.

Rob Hall Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) I guess they are avoiding the studio licensing with the Munsters kits (weren't they released a few years ago in a set and individually?). Another one I noticed that was new to me is a reboxing of the Lindberg Dodge 330 Color Me Gone in AMT retro style packaging.

stavanzer Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I bought the '49 Ford when it first came out in 2008. One of the very first Tom L. / John G. kits. I did not NEED a '49 Ford but got one anyway, to support the company.I'll be in for one of these too, if only for the Decals and Tyres. This kit is supposed to have a set of the same newly tooled slicks as the Mod Rod kit. That Owens Boat will be a keeper to, even if the tooling is over 60 years old and somewhat crude. I've got a Monogram Bass Boat trailer that I can modify to put it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Sikora II Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Not sure what you mean there..the 49 Ford kit goes back over 50 years..Think he means that one of the first Round 2-issued AMT kits was the '49 Ford in the Street Rods box.

crazyjim Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I wonder if that Owens cruiser boat comes with a trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 The two Lindberg boats look interesting...what scale are they? Those are ex-Palmer kits. They're being called 1/25 scale now (not sure what Palmer called them). The Coronado supposedly measures out at around 1/27 or 1/28 scale, but should look okay with a 1/25 scale car. I'd bet there's not much difference in the true, measured scale between either of those boats, and a '59-'60 annual Cadillac, Lincoln, or Imperial kit.The original Palmer kits didn't include trailers, from what I have heard/seen. Scratching or modifying something to work shouldn't be too tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Don Sikora is correct. It was one of the first kit RE-Issued by Round2.I need another one now, anyway, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 In the original Graveyard Ghoul Duo kit, the dragster was called the "Overtaker", the Koach was the "Body Snatcher". I don't think the parts were changed from the Munsters versions in any way, but the decals were different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Those Lindberg Showrods are 1/32 scale. Supposedly they will have Chrome parts, for the first time in their history. Really just simple, almost toylike kits, good for a weekend slump-buster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunc Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I know nothing about the Lindberg show rods....does any know,how build,parts count,how well they build....stuff like that....thank....Chriswith effort, they can be nice but the plastic tires/wheels are lame and though they are supposed to be 1/32 scale I doubt they are true to that metric.

Mr mopar Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Hope this comes with all the original parts and decal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfan Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I used to build model boats for a living. Wasn't much of a living which is why I don't do it anymore! Anyway, I will be looking for those for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
