Edsel-Dan Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Build it?? Trade it?? Life-Like had a few others in that series. I think maybe even a Coronation Coach Wonder if those are in the Round2 vaults now from Lindberg??
Tom Geiger Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 I picked this up yesterday, dont know what to do with it. Scale would be a determinating factor for me. If it's our favorite scale, I'd build the coach and strap it down to a flat bed truck as if it was headed to a show or auction. That would make a very cool load. If it's 1/12 scale, I'd send it to Harry because it would fit right into the line of old horse drawn carriages he already has built!
Don Sikora II Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Pretty sure this is a ex-Revell small scale kit. The molds might have been actually owned by Adams instead of Revell....Life-Like reissued a bunch of ex-Adams kits at some point. Think I have a Roman Chariot and two or three late-50s vintage military kits in the Life-Like boxes. From what I understand, Adams was a mold shop in California that had some type of a partnership with Revell in the mid-1950s. At some point, that ended and Adams released kits under its own brand starting around 1958. Don't think Adams-brand kits were available for more than a couple years though. At least some of them were reissued by Athern at some point, and the Adams Saab Draken jet fighter was reissued by Lindberg at least twice. Revell-Venice reissued at least one ex-Adams 1/40-scale military kit in the early 1980s. Not sure who ended up owning these molds.
gray07 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 On the side ofthe box it shows, Roman Chariot, State Coach of england, and Tally Ho pasenger coach, it dosent say size , but it looks like maybe, 1/48 or 1/32, think i will trade mine off, anyone interested.
Tom Geiger Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 , it dosent say size , but it looks like maybe, 1/48 or 1/32, Gotta admit, this would be very cool if it was 1/25 scale. You just know someone would slide an early Ford chassis under it!
Casey Posted April 3, 2013 Author Posted April 3, 2013 If AMT can release a kit of a compact towing a trailer, why can't Premier?
Tom Geiger Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Here's that silly little Falcon kit. It's too narrow and too tall just for starters. It came with that slick two tone paint job. Once in the stripper the parts all fell apart, looked like they assembled it with rubber cement. Edited April 3, 2013 by Tom Geiger

Casey Posted April 3, 2013 Author Posted April 3, 2013 Boy ! We have come a long way haven't we ? "'60s inflation" has an all-new meaning after seeing the Premier Falcon's roof.
Tom Geiger Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 "'60s inflation" has an all-new meaning after seeing the Premier Falcon's roof. I have to pull it out and work on it again. I had started it for an April Fools Day theme a few years ago. I was planning on doing a really nice job on it with a wired engine, Alclad and BMF. I thought that would be funny to see all that work on that car.
Monty Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 If AMT can release a kit of a compact towing a trailer, why can't Premier? If only they had a movie tie-in,like The Falcon and the Tow Man...
mr moto Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 How 'bout a Ringo '56 T-bird?: Ringo? Now that's OBSCURE!!
Fabrux Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 How about this funky thing? Rear-engined wheel-stander with optional service truck parts. Neat half-cab!
Rob Hall Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Never heard of that Jeep kit....would be neat to see again for the half cab parts...
Edsel-Dan Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) I just watched that Maverick go over my budget. Wish I could get one. I have the Trans Am from them!! And I have seen that Jeep kit a few times recently on evilbay too. Never knew 'Stock-like' parts were in that box. I am interested in that one now Edited May 2, 2013 by Edsel-Dan
ScaleDale Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 How 'bout a Ringo '56 T-bird?: And some of us have no respect for the classics. .. Have no fear, the one in the box is still sealed. Dale
tomsheehy Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 I just watched that Maverick go over my budget. Wish I could get one. Dan...Missing Link has one out in resin...much better quality than the Otaki kit, IMO.
cobraman Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) Posted this in the "What did you get today " section but I think it fits here as well. Never saw another one myself. Edited May 2, 2013 by cobraman
Mr Dedo Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Some of the artwork on the boxes really brings back a lot of memories.
Don Sikora II Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Like any good model builder in Wisconsin, I built a Green Bay Packers van when this kit was first released. Think I still have the rest of the decal sheet someplace.
Nxr Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Oh man i am still laughing hard on this one, cool idea but hahah!
