CapSat 6 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Just got this one. Decent for the money. I'm going to have to fix that blower case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike77 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Although it'll be pricey I plan on getting one of the AutoArt 1/18 Interceptors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not made of money and the AA Interceptor is stretching my toy budget by quite a bit but as long as I've waited for one I'll take the plunge. The only thing that's unfortunate about it is that it's a "composite" model rather than diecast. The Road Warrior versions were diecast. Sign of the times though.

Mike77 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Just a follow-up...my Auto Art Mad Max Interceptor arrived the other day and it's worth every penny I paid for it and then some. I picked up some MFP fender and license plate stickers on Ebay just to complete the car and it's spot-on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57peppershaker Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Did you make any mods yet CapSat ? Detailing might help but the wheels just dont look right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 They really failed on a super simple detail with that blower......looks like someone forgot the blower and as the models rolled off the line they glued one on. I got one....1/64 and 1/25....both suffer this issue....the 1/18 looks better. Also the model looks really small.....I know it's smaller than like aTorino....but really smaller.

57peppershaker Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Drives me crazy when they an odd size as its real hard to find changable parts. A friend sent me a vw bus and thats also real small. Good thing the TD garbage wagon surfboards are also out of scale lol Edited January 22, 2018 by 57peppershaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I look at it. the more I want to fix, so...I'll just hold onto my kits, than you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave, you would be surprised. A fella (a "quick" fella...ha ha!) near me brought a 1:1 GTHO to a cruise in Collegeville, PA several years ago. It wasn't done up Mad Max style, it was a nice stock GTHO. Unmistakably one of those cars. Black with a 351 and a shaker hood. I will have to find the pictures of that car I have and post them. I was taken aback at how small the car was- size-wise, it seemed to be just about as big as a Ford Maverick. Super, SUPER-cool car in real life!!! Don't get me wrong- I love me my Valiant Chargers, but - WOW. I think the films make these cars look bigger than they actually are. I think the styling does, too. The car I saw was in black, so darker colored cars tend to look smaller, too, but to me, seeing a real one up close, it was definitely smaller than I expected.

CapSat 6 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 I think this is the car I saw. Here is a link. Also, I did some mental math, I think I actually saw it about 15 years ago. http://xaxbinterceptor.tripod.com/id29.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
