Chuck Kourouklis Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 If I may offer one minor correction - these were actually glue-together kits. Not very complicated for all that, but they weren't snappers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're quite nice little glue kits. There was a pair of each, along with a pair of Chargers. There was a street machine and a stock (-ish?) version of each.

Dave Van Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I've met Jack of Model Round-up...... He ain't big hobby.....a very small group of model guys that support the hobby via limited runs and supporting short runs that the big hobby guys have no interest. Supporting Atlantis direct is good......but if you want a Atlantis kit, some Gofer decals and a AMT kit......Model Round-up or other small retailers, even local, is the way to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I picked up a Cadillac kit this weekend at a local model show and swap meet. As soon as I can get my model area back up and running this just moved to the front of the line to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The body has an upper and lower body parts and is split along a body trim line that should make it a little easier to hid. The box states that it's 1/25th scale but does seem a little on the small side. My interest in this mainly comes from seeing one as a youth. There was someone that had an office in town that I would sometimes walk past after school. The car was parked in a reserved parking spot and the stainless steel roof was something you couldn't miss.

Not positive if the scale is accurate because it was also a slot car and the dimensions may have been fudged to make room for the motor and brass frame.

Mark Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 With that midget, I wonder if Old Revell might have been smarter to just tool up a set of tires, a windscreen, and a trailer for this one as opposed to the all-new kit that they did, many of which wound up on closeout store shelves. There are a bunch of people who bought multiple copies of the new kit, but apparently not enough of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
