Yeah, I nearly fainted when he told me that! But he did give me a box of Revell 1/16 test shots in various colors! He had the remains of one of the articulated molds to make the 1/16 engine blocks that got busted up when an employee was not paying attention and tried using it in the wrong working order. I wonder if his son might have it in his possession?

This is why I used to look forward to seeing the late Tom West at the races and catch up with him, he would always tell me a tale or two about the industry. I should have recorded some of it, but, then again, I don't think some of it was printable for mass consumption! LOL!

Your potato is way out of focus.

Last time I saw that kit was when it came out as part of the Hot Rod Series back in the 80's!

Back in high school I was hanging out after school in the parking lot with some friends when we noticed a bunch of kids pushing a station wagon back and forth. I asked what was going on and they told me they where trying to pop start it! I asked how do you pop start and automatic and they laughed, it was a 4 speed! I took a look to see if I could help and that is when one of us realized that the key was on the off position! Yup, we got it pop started after that got corrected! It was a 1971 Torino wagon with a 351 and a top loader 4 speed! The girl who was driving it claimed her dad ordered it like that after he got back from Vietnam! This was around 1985 or so.

Let me know when you start paying for a storage room for them. LOL! 🤣

I was just going to ask him to print up a new nozzle, not a whole kit.

Saw a line of model A Fords going down the road, but I did not have the phone handy, but, I did spot this clean Impala on my way home.

Hey! Round 2! Here is another idea for the Datsun 620

The Light Utility Vehicle, LUV, was the Japanese Isuzu Mikado

I did it via their website by emailing what I needed, heard back the next day. And I was told 4 to 6 weeks, so maybe one more week for you.

I just call built ups my Dust Collection System! LOL!

Odds are they still have it, as the Virago announcement may have just proved. I would love to see it re-issued so I can leave my originals alone!
