iamsuperdan Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Just noticed something over the weekend. I was at the bench, working on a kit or two and had the music going, when I noticed the CD cover. This album came out late 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 Whoa! If I saw that in a local liquor store, I'd buy it just for the box. I'm not a big beer drinker, but would make an exception for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Model airplanes figured prominently in the second season of the hilarious Vice Principals on HBO. Models (airplanes, spacecraft and ships) showed up a few times on Modern Family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkybritches Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Model planes and ships show up from time to time on Masha and the Bear, a Russian childrens cartoon that my son is crazy about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insert joke about the can being out of scale, the ring pull being the wrong kind for that year of can and how it’s drinkable but it needs a LOT of work right out of the box to make an acceptable libation ??

Mike999 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) A few off the top of my head... Revell was always great at product placement, and their kits turn up in a lot of Fifties TV series. Revell kits were almost always displayed in Wally and Beaver's room in "Leave It To Beaver." In the 1953 movie "Niagara" with Marilyn Monroe and Joseph Cotten, he's a troubled war veteran whose therapy includes building a 1/16 scale Revell Maxwell kit. That was an inside joke. Jack Benny's longtime announcer Don Wilson had a part in the movie, and Benny was famous for talking about his Maxwell. The 1990 Jim Belushi movie "Mr. Destiny" had him building some AMT scale models, including a 300SL Gullwing. He also "built" some kits that didn't exist, AFAIK. Like this AMT kit of a '55 Porsche Spyder. Note the tube of Testors glue on the table. Edited September 20, 2020 by Mike999 goof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowerPlant Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I just caught Ford vs. Ferrari on HBO and decided to rewatch it...I may be wrong, but it seemed to me like there are a few shots in Ken Miles’ (Chris Bale’s) son’s bedroom in which a car model box can be seen on a shelf in the background. I’m not sure, but it looks like it could be an Aurora E-Type Jag... That would be period correct, no? I would actually appreciate it if someone could confirm this as I did find it interesting and quite an appropriate detail if in fact true (kudos to the production designer for sure).

Oldcarfan27 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) My brother in law worked with a crew that built and performed the train wreck scene in the movie "The Fugitive". You did know it was a model didn't you? I've watched the movie many times and still think it's real!

You did know it was a model didn't you? I've watched the movie many times and still think it's real! They did crash a real train. Somewhere in the junk pile, I have the issue of Trains magazine where they went to the real shortline railroad I think in Tennessee (going on 20 year old memories) and showed the remains of the staged wreck along the rail line for the tourist trains to see. Maybe some of the scenes were miniatures, but real locomotives and cars were used also. Now I have to search my junkpile. Jeff Quick edit, Google search turned up Great Smokey Mountains Railroad at Sylva, North Carolina . Photos of the wreckage still there to this day, rusting away.

Oldcarfan27 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 The initial crash, aftermath and cleanup in the movie were real trains and buses, but the train chasing Harrison Ford was a model. BTW, the trains and buses are still located exactly where they left them - in North Carolina! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
