  2. The battery terminal clamps (cable ends) that are bolted to the posts on the battery are they "LEGO" man hands? thats sort of what they resemble care to share what they are or where you get them or how you make them?
  3. this is my germany kit thus far.... not going to use the provided "RS" wheels even tho they are nice i think the svt stang cobra rims will look awsome...... red escort box revell Europe/ Germany? box will continue to search for the black escort turbo box art pic.....
  4. Does anyone know where these "keep on Truckin" decals come from or where i can find another set?
  5. photobucket
  6. i've got a 85/ 86 gt in the workings...... based off these amt/ mpc kits
  7. I've noticed one thing, well a couple things about a peticular series of revell issued kits (older) Ford Escorts and it had me comparing between kits each to their own pros and cons the kits in check are the revell ford escort kits the first i want to say is a red issued (original) xr1 pros ~ good decal sheet with seat inset decals ~ good subject matter ~ nice wheels/ tires (real rubber) ~ minimal flash on most examples i've come across cons ~ some plastic seems brittle on some 2nd kit inline would be a more latter issed (still early 80's) escort "turbo" Pros ~ again good decals ~ unique parts special front facia and special hood ~many parts shared from other escort cons ~ cannot think of any Third kit is revell germany (molded in white) escort kamei very cool kit as in this issue theres custom steering wheel, special "ford" "RS" wheels and side ground effects different more aggresive front and rear facia, kit includes other front an d rear bumpers that can be built stateside specs...... Pros ~ unique parts bumper facias wheels and ground effects cons ~decal sheet had tissue protecting decals got stuck to sheet nearly ruined decals ~ lots of flash and sink marks that were not an issue on above 2 mentioned kits...... this makes me wonder of other revell germany kits if there are similar issues or if its a leftover mold gettin new light overseas? i'm interested to see what folks know pics welcomed i'll try to take pics of box art asap
