Reissued kits
Daddyfink replied to slantasaurus's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yeah, sadly Revell didn't even come close to stock with their vans, the 1/25th scale van is basically a shrunken down 1/16th van. All custom with not stock parts. I have both kits, actually most of the vans Revell made, and they are cool, but huge. And the MPC Ford Van is in 1/20th scale. Wish they would have done them in 1/25th as well. -

The Big Bad Van is 1/16th scale. Revell did a couple of large vans, both have not been seen in quite some time, not sure if they would really sell anymore -
HPI Guy 1985 Chevy Camaro Z28 Build
Daddyfink replied to Daddyfink's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
In my humble opinion, the Revell 82 Z-28 is a more nicely detailed kit. -
After years of wanting one, and almost paying the collectors price, it was nice to finally get it, brand new, at the LHS for a good price

At Walmart (at least one store)
Daddyfink replied to Classicgas's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
So, today I found the stash at a local store, they are at the end of a shelf area, next to some indoor shop, and covered by a ad board for that said shop, I was standing in line when I caught the corner of kit peeking out. If I was not so bored, I would have missed it! Well stocked and not just random leftovers. Same prices as before, nothing on clearance, yet. And for any locals, it is at the College Grove Walmart, shelves next to the registers. -

Have not seen a single kit shipper this holiday around here. Maybe they are done messing with them. -
Atlantis Models has bought another lot of tooling/molds.....
Daddyfink replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I am sure they can make the tires wider for some of you.... -
Oh wow! I have not seen that at CVS. Looks like I will have to hunt around for it a bit. Thanks for the info!

Shelby American wins Eleanor lawsuit
Daddyfink replied to Lownslow's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Well, they would have to make a new hood for Eleanor, as it was a flat hood, right? -

It would be easy for AMT, and later Revell, to do the 1971 Mustang "Eleanor" cars with just slight mods. The 2000 film version would probably require a new tool -

I might be the only dissenting voice in this, but I could care less for that car. I am so sick and tired of that being the standard for vintage Mustangs. Plus I am sick of Gun Metal anything. The most overused and overplayed color for a car. Rant over. Your mileage may vary. -
Yes, wider wheels would really make it come alive

I found all of the interior pieces bagged up inside a spare parts goodies box at a kit show. Great for making a work van or even a Garage Diorama. Would be great to see this version of the van back

Cam driven accessories. Help.
Daddyfink replied to Tarkmucker's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
The Water Pump is the snail looking blob at the left side of the pump, or drivers side, and is driven by a common gear with the fuel pump on the right. Inlet and outlet are similar to that of a Turbocharger unit. I understood the question as to being how the water goes in and out.
