Today was the Lower Left Coast NNL and it was great. I was there as a vendor and this is what I spent some of my profits on! This is a bit more detail on the bus, it is from ARII and it is supposed to be in 1/32 scale, but, I think it may be a bit bigger than that And here is the lovely Jungle Pam to give the bus some scale. Should make for a fun project!

Now I want to do this car in 1/24th!

The kit is a CJ-7 and Mindy drove a CJ-5 in the show. I guess it is just Monogram using their available tool to cash in on the show.

Nope, you are correct, these cars did have their windshield wipers. But they where removed here and there, so either way would be correct

Just as an FYI, the U.S. Spec version of the car came with all red tail light lenses, it was the Non U.S. spec cars that came with the Red and Amber lenses. BRE had access to the full Nissan Performance Parts arsenal so they used whatever worked and looked good.

Crazy! I just dig those old show rods!

Very cool! But, no Superbird?

Wow! Reminds of the Glass Slipper and other vintage Drag/Show cars! They looked good and went fast! Very nice job!

Wow! You made that crate look great!

I think someone kitted those wheels once. I can't remember which kit, but I think it was AMT

I've built a few of them over the years and I am going to build one again soon!

Awesome! I have been wanting this one for a long time!!! And now at a great price!!!

Very nice project! As for the fuel pump, I guess Revell tried keeping true to the original Sizzler dragster kit that did not included a fuel pump as well.

Very nice! Clean building comes shining through!

Thanks for the pics and rundown on the parts. I have a few of the last issues and even a blueprinter version, but, I will have to get this one just for the box!

I don't know how collectible they are. But I bought them for purely nostalgic reasons. And both of those kits have been re-issued. So I would not feel too bad about moving them along

I have a Don Prudhomme Dragster, The T Bone Stake and a Monogram 240Z in their club mailer boxes and the dragster has the tools and paints in it! The paint is Pactra and it is very dry!

The Roof is too tall! They Photoshop'd it! The lights are too bright, the cigarette lighter doesn't work! How come Revell make a decent glovebox! I will never buy one! Unless they are on sale! And they come with more tires! And they offer decals! The box it came in is not square enough! The instructions are in black and white! Camaro means made in China! They need to make a four door of it! It needs more door handles! The roof is too short, narrow, curved, funny looking! It needs to look like the one they drove in the background of Maude! First!

I used to be a member of the "MBCOA" when I was a kid back in the late 70's. There was a sign up flyer inside T.V. Guide! Basically, you would sign up and select a kit from the add, and after that, they would send you a kit every month, I think you had the option of sending them back if you did not want them, but, as a kid, I just kept them! Most of the kits where from Revell and eventually they started sending out Monogram kits. Revell had the Master Model Builders Club, that I believe later became the Young Model Builders Club, and that one you signed up with the flyer that came in their kits. It only cost a $1! You got some tools comprising of some tweezers, file, glue applicator, brush and some paints along with a certificate of membership, to hang in your room or club house, as they advertised, and a Revell Patch. Plus a newsletter with tips, the latest release news and a section devoted to Art sent in by members. Both of them went away back in the early 80's and they are no more. Real bummer, it was a cool thing for kids back then. And! I just found this! Good reading!! http://www.ironmodeler.com/2011/01/revell-master-modelers-club.html

The Rabbit has all kinds of possibilities!

This should be moved to General Discussion area, not really much about model building in this one.
