Tabbysdaddy Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I guess this is my favorite box art. It's the only one I display upright so I can see the top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Merc box art brings back my memory of my uncle buying me that kit at a 7-11! Luckily I have one in my stash. But my fave from that era is this one with the mechanic trying to improve an already awesome car! I remember getting that one loooong ago...ahh memories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pack rat Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Not often seen or very well-known, I've always liked the original AMT Mini-Trophy boxes. Replicating a couple of these renderings in 1/25 scale is on my to-do list, although it might never happen. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few of them lying around here, in parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was cheaper to buy the 2n1 kit with the cobra Jet parts in it which I also have... You had to pay more for the Steve McQueen box art.....🙄😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how there's no driver in it, and it's supposed to be jumping... over what, I have no idea. Although I would like to see what's inside the box. Were 4 door 510s used a lot in racing?

keyser Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) Mostly rally for 4d, some jdm races. Trans Am under 2.5 were 2 doors, crushed it. Hence BRE 510. Killer cars, had 4w irs, handled great. I had one in 70’s, punched way above its weight. Still love’em.
