Scuderia Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Got mine last night! At least . . . the first one. I've been intrigued by the Rescue Vans, nice score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathgoblin Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 got in a Testors/Italeri set, Porsche 911 Turbo and Lamborghini Diablo Special. Nice kits, got them for about $15 including shipping. The Porsche looks a lot better than the Revell kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Got a couple sets of old AMT tires and wheels from ebay, so I can put a set of stock(ish) chrome reverses and tall narrow whitewalls back on my '62 F-100. Looks like Firestone Supreme whitewalls are getting up in value now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I've been intrigued by the Rescue Vans, nice score. I have a couple of the originals (one Rescue Van [T-539]and the other Police Van version [T-439], both from 1972). I'm looking forward to comparing this new one to them.

Tom Geiger Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Cool Rob! I have never had either one, but would grab one if I saw it priced reasonable at a show. How are they as kits? Good / Bad, accurate or Palmeresque? And I can only guess why Lindberg put a screaming chicken on the hood of the Camaro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if the Rescue 911 ambulance was based on these line of vans? or something all its own? nose loooked similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to comparing this new one to them. Lucky you...the originals will be the ones capable of being built as a window van...me I think that version is much more cool!

Good / Bad, accurate or Palmeresque? And I can only guess why Lindberg put a screaming chicken on the hood of the Camaro!They're snap kits and very simplistic, have simple engine bay detail and underside detailing, some clever detail painting would bring them to life though. The interiors aren't bad and the body lines look real good. The main body is the same with just different front and rear panels so the Camaro front slopes away more than it should but flows nicely. They're something a bit out of the ordinary and would make interesting shelf models or curbsides.Definitely worth the admission price even to use as a slump buster kit.

charlie8575 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 The NNL East name tag order came in yesterday! People have been asking for name tags so we've gone and printed them for everyone! As you know the whole idea behind an NNL is sharing the hobby with your friends and meeting new people. We hope the name tags will help more people connect at the show! Are those self-stick tags, Tom, or the put-in-a-sleeve type? Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Let's see, what have I gotten over the last week or so....? A really bad case of sciatica- one of the reasons you've not seen me much the last couple of weeks aside from funky computer. I can't sit or stand too long, or I get REALLY sore. I also get like that if I try something novel...like sleeping. So, it's been lots of cat naps and weird sleep pattern. We got another foot of snow Thursday night and Friday morning. And we're getting another 4-6" this evening and into early Sunday. Yay. On the bright side, I had a (very) small settlement check from a class action suit come in. I might go grab one or two small items for fun this weekend. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I finally bit the bullet and spent over the century mark for this one ! Absolutely love those Falcons - I had a 1969 version that if you looked real close, you could read the odometer (all zeroes!). Great job by AMT. Question is, why didn't the kit come with a stock version in '68 or '69? Was there a stock version in '66-'67? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
