Most of these resin bodies are made to fit the 80's and up chassis style. The Revellution funny car has what is now referred to as the "Buttera" style chassis and the McDonald's car has what is called a modern style chassis.

This was a Tamiya display at our local IPMS show. I believe that is new from Tamiya Nashorn Self Propelled Tank Destroyer http://www.tamiyausa.com/items/plastic-model-series-20/1-35-scale-military-miniature-12000/nashorn-heavy-tank-destroyer-35335

Hands down, the Hasegawa kit is great! It is a curbside, but looks very nice when built.

Why are they listing the car hauler as "Big Scale"?

That my friend, is one of the great mysteries of the modeling world! This could also be a tooling that was started long ago but never finished or not put into production for various reasons.

Revell wants to sell CV kits as well. Hence why they are making one despite the fact that LIndberg has one already.

Most of the photos I post are taken with my phone, and yes, you can practice and get good with it. If you have the nice photo gear for it, use it, otherwise, the phone should do the trick. You can take them and delete them until the battery dies! So have at it and practice, practice and practice!

Maybe they are making them because they are not making any money off Lindberg sales?

Thanks for the tutorial, Mark! And that blue chassis pic, is that what I think it is?

In the Star Wars behind the scenes documentary that came in the Blue Ray set, they talk about building the models and how they would keep running back to the hobby shops to get more models for parts. The concept X WIng Fighter was build using mainly Revell 1/16 Scale Dragster parts. Pretty cool stuff.

/\ That Matra would have been awesome!

I use Photobucket and have not had a problem. Maybe it's a Fotki problem

The local Oldies station is now playing mostly 80's Music, yes, we are getting old. Nothing new.

Check out Competition Resin's version http://www.compresins.com/site/751597/product/CR-2010

And the complaining will soon follow!

Actually, you could use those kits body panels with a Tommy Ivo chassis for the correct wheelbase. This car came out in '68 and is a Woody Gimore Chassis car. Or just cut down the JA or Garlits cars.

Cool, but, are the rims the same all the way around?

Most early flame jobs where not that great.

Great build! But, the only thing I have to point out is the injector hat face and butterflies where painted black on the real car. Garlits didn't want the competition to know how much he was opening it up when he launched! Otherwise, great build!

Man, you are just knocking them out! Very nice companion to your other builds!

Knocked it out of the ball park! Very nice build!

Wow! It came out great!

OK, this is thread just needs to be shut down. This guy is going full blown pie in the sky with this. Only model geeks and old guys remember that car and most just don't care. Most of the attraction to this kit now is for how rare it has become and not due to fond memories of it. I never had one and was not even born when it was built! I just want one for the sheer curiousity of it! So, if anyone wants to sponsor me to go to Hawaii and surf, start sending me money!

I think the question is, will all the Model King issues be eventually re-issued by Round 2, right?
