Luc Janssens Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Was browsing the German Wettringer hobby forum and discovered this.... http://www.wettringer-modellbauforum.de/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=34363 Couldn't hot link the photo's from their site, but found this one at Scalemates, thus picture courtesy of them. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/184984-zd-progress-moscow-no-12-amo-typ-f-15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmobil Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Now that is a cool kit! I do have a 1:35 Zvezda Gaz AA (a russian Ford AA) but that one in 1:24 is much more interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Edit title of OP to say AUTOMOTIVE if that's the case..............it does say obscure......... If you fell I should've said something earlier, well, I wouldn't disagree with you, but from this point forward, in this topic, we're keeping it model car related. I don't think there needs to be any further clarification that this: General For general model car hobby or 1:1 automotive related topics ONLY.

horsepower Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 New one to me,,,,although GM stuff is usually not on my radar . But I thought this was pretty cool . http://www.ebay.com/itm/121557151032?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITnice clear coat, must have used some of the vintage clear coat that made the past infamous April issue of the early Model Cars magazine.

horsepower Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I guess the 57 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham IS a Odd Choice, But has been re-issued Many times in the past 20+ years. Lastly in a Standard type box and Not as a Limited SSP program!! Yes, I do have one of those too Not sure how I rill replicate the Stainless Steel roof though!!!

Atmobil Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The subject is not very obscure (You can buy Revells kit of the same subject for peanuts) but the price tells me it must be very rare. Still, in my eyes, not worth it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Tamiya-Dodge-Charger-Slot-Car-1-25-NIB-/271774191713?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f47011061 And here is another in the same series, not quite the same price but still way over the top. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tamiya-Plymouth-Fury-SLOT-KIT-MIB-BOX-1-24-from1966-blistered-/261767882089?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cf294e569&nma=true&si=Vp9QoRiiH3HoOqtw8Etk3DAqhf0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 What is the word on the Tamiya slot cars above? This is the first I've ever heard of Tamyia offering America subjects. I hope this is something new, and non-slot cars versions of these cars become available. I love Tamyia's kits (or Tamyia anything for that matter). And it would be very cool to see Tamyia start offering kits of older American cars, like the two above. I especially want the Plymouth.

Atmobil Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 If you check out the Ebay auction you will find pictures of the body where it is copyrightdated 1967. I'm guessing that these are old Tamiya kits that have not been reissued since. But does the age and rarity makes it worth 4400$? It looks like a simple kit. Only body, glass and bumpers, grille and wheels on a small chrome sprue. The Plymouth is atleast a little more difficult to find in 1:25, I see some Johan promos of the same year and body on Ebay. It sold for 1300$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disabled modeler Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yikes... ....wonder what a 66 Fury HT promo is worth missing a wheel,one front post and rear bumper??? otherwise pretty decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Those slot cars were earlier in this thread or someplace else...very valuable collectibles in the Japanese market. Just the bodies sell for three figures, complete kit, well, you see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjordan2 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Not only is that Olds a kit I didn't know about, it's one I wish I didn't know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) That Olds is ugly. It's a shame the real cars looked great. I think we now know why JoHan was given the contract to do the '56. Scott Edited February 24, 2015 by unclescott58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Premier Cadillac... looks like the car Stuart Little would have driven. I think Premier kits were made to make Palmers look legit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrecker388 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 That's scary. And, um, what exactly is "Krome"? Here I thought AMT made bad mistakes on the box (Radiator Sheelr from 29 Model A comes to mind). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I remember having seen that box art before. I would really like a reissue of that one. Anyone know if the molds exist and what company that owns them? That was an original promo tooling that Johan sold as a curbside kit back in the late 1980s, along with the '62 Studebaker Lark Convertible and the 1960 Plymouth wagon. I doubt that the tooling exists today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel-Dan Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The 60 mPlymouth wagon was Never in that Series I have both issues of it First was USA Oldies WITH Engine, Second was Police Emergency Wagon Same kit with added Police decals the whip (tall/long) antenna, LAPD version 2 pc Siren & NYPD ver 4 beam rotator from the 68 Fury and new Spotlight Mirrors. IF I get a dry, clear day I can take pic's, And IF I can get connection I can upload them to Photobucket and link-post here I traded one of the Police issues, and managed to get another a few years later. I started to restore the USA Oldies I built New Way back then Of the Snap kit series, I have that Rambler, 2 of the Studebaker Lark convert the 74/75 Olds Cutlass & the 79 Cadillac Coupe DeVille.
