What Kits Were Molded in Green?


Recommended Posts

:) Synergy Green?

..."the snap kit Camaro will include the black window edges, plus waterslide decals along with peel ‘n stick stickers to appeal to both first-time and serious modelers. The Camaro also will be molded in lime green."

So many cool kits I'd never heard of in this thread! 

So...maybe some of you will be able to ID these random parts I recently acquired (top photo only--the bottom ones have been identified already). They're a very pale green-blue (not grey--in reality they're a bit more green than they appear in this photo) and I've labelled the parts according to what I think they are--but I could be wrong!

Chris, I got that same tree in a parts bag from Model Empire along with another tree that has a base, some rocket exhausts, and a radar dish; I did some Googling and it turns out we have trees from the Polar Lights 1/1000 scale Star Trek USS Enterprise!

So far I've made use of one of the antennae - carved it down to make an ignition coil for my '64 Cadillac :lol:.

Oh son of a gun...the parts stash I acquired had some other Enterprise parts.  These little bits just looked SO much like '60s customizing accessories that I never even considered the possibility that they might be spacecraft components. Wow.

Nice detective work, that's a pretty bizarre and niche discovery, haha! Thanks Chris :)

What kit is this and when was it issued? I vaguely remember building it as  kid 50...ish years ago.

Monogram “Horn Toad”; first issued 1971.

What I found neat about it was the hot rodded Chrysler 225 slant-6?

The monogram lotus esprit sport 300 is molded in dark green. However this model is a retrofit of a different lotus kit. This one does not go together nicely without some effort

The original version went together much better
