Bugatti Fan Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Dave I wish I could find a basket case Renwall Virgil Exner Bugatti. Been looking for one to restore/renovate and give to the Bugatti Trust Museum here in the UK. Seen mint kits on ebay….way too expensive for a pensioner like me.

The Corvair Shuttle should be my collection soon. I hope. Another I'm looking forward too. I love those old kits that speculated on future space travel. As I've mentioned this before, I was sure as a kid, that I was going to be an astronaut. And had many great dreams of flying these type of vehicles.

Dave Van Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Tom Daniel reports that Atlantis has Unreal Roller tooling.....just a FYI but read between the lines!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bartrop Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) I find things like the Convair Shuttlecraft way cooler than the Star Trek and Star Wars models, because this was about people trying to design real spaceships.

GaryR Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Interesting space stuff, but what about car models. I am not interested in Daniels stuff at all. What else did they get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF they have some fords or GM molds it will take a expensive license to run them. Right now Atlantis is trying to get some products out without big license fees.

Robberbaron Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I don't recall ever seeing the R-M branded engine parts packs in stores - probably was during my "modeling hiatus". Anyone know if these were still molded in America? If so, let's hope Atlantis got the tooling (can't see the Germans being too interested in these...)

Eshaver Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Aurora had cars like the James Bond Aston martin DB-5 , Studebaker Avanti, might be interesting to have them again . I know they were difficult to work with , but we have better adhesives as opposed to 1965 too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they're not in the same scale. But, that's not the point to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spex84 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 From what I've heard, the Revell parts packs weren't hot sellers even at the time. Re-issues of the engines are still pretty easy to find, and even the harder-to-locate parts packs don't tend to sell for much more than they would new, at today's prices...still, I'd love to see 'em anyway!

According to Spotlight Hobbies and Mr. Internet in general, the R-M engine Parts Packs were re-issued in 1998. The copyright notice on the box also says "1998," and lists the addresses for both Revell USA (Morton Grove IL) and Revell-Germany. No mention of where they were molded. As I remember, the re-issued engines didn't sell any better than the originals. I still have a couple from a Los Angeles hobby shop with red "Discount" tags on them. For anyone who might need to know, here are the Revell part numbers for the re-issued engines: 85-7251: Chevy 283 85-7252: Cadillac "354" 85-7253: Pontiac 421 85-7254: Ford 427 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I bought a case of each of the Revell parts packs, 6 in a case, for about a buck per pack.....so not hot sellers......but they are very 1960's era themed and a little out of date.
