Atlantis Models has bought another lot of tooling/molds.....
Daddyfink replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Don't worry, original tires will take care of the Ejector Marks! -
Calling all Super Stock gurus!
Daddyfink replied to Oldcarfan27's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Could this be the inspiration for the kit? -
Both local stores in San Diego are having their 40% sale, but no clearance items at all.

Replacement parts are on the water.

Anyone Have A History On Otaki Kits?
Daddyfink replied to oldcarfan's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I read somewhere that ARII bought out the molds from Otaki when they shut down in 1986. -
The Ads are getting a bit out of hand. Some almost appear bigger than the page itself! What can we do to get rid of them? Pay a membership or something?

Patience, just have some patience. I am sure they have quite a few request and I am sure it takes some time to harvest specific parts from kits or production shots. This is not a massive company like Revell or Tamiya, so just give it some time.

Who remembers these? I used to see them on shelves, but the odd military scale made me stay away from them. And these are not mine, just a pic of the webs.

That has to be my favorite Lancia Kit of all time! I know there are better ones, this one was so much fun to build back then. Great memories make it my fave.

Getting more and more in the stash
Daddyfink replied to Exotics_Builder's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yeah, and then it's someone else's problem to clear it out. After helping clear out two collections, I think I am going to start thinning out my mess. -
What are the very best drag racing model kits of all time?
Daddyfink replied to tim boyd's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Revell Sox and Martin Cuda and GTX Revell Drag On Lady Coronet AMT '63 Impala Super Stockers Lindberg Ramcharger Dodge 330 and Color Me Gone -
Why doesn't AMT just do the Ford Firestone Van and finish the set?
-
I think it was just based on the futuristic trend going on at the time. But if someone has real info on it, I would like to hear it as well
-
Yes, the boat, and all the other goodies from Revell. All of those accessories are made on trees separate from the host kit. They could be made and sold as Parts Pack type kits and sold that way. I am pretty sure those molds exists considering the recent re-use of the Snow Mobile in the Jeep Pick Up. Now the question is, will Revell Germany want to use them?
-
Well, don't forget that this was recently released as well. All they have to do is basically change the wheels and delete the Monster suspension and wheels.

You mean these.....

It might be this one....

You want to know the state of the hobby? It's simple! Just look at AMT about to tool up a 1/25 scale kit from a T.V. Show that has been off the air since March of 1967! Before I was born later that year! LOL! And the show only lasted One Season!! If that does not say 'We Are Catering To The Boomers" I don't know what does! LOL! We, Gen X, are lucky we did not have the modern day distractions and thus had to rely on physical activities, reading, Television and our own crazy imaginations! And the model companies catered to us at those times. Revell made all of these Adventure Kits with extra goodies and we ate them up! So maybe in about 10 more years, I am 54 now, they will start making more A Team Vans or something more obscure. As for kids today, I am not going to worry about it, as long as I had fun with my hobby, they can figure it out themselves!
