  1. I wish I had rolled tape every time I talked models with Tom West. The knowledge, the stories and the history of the hobby where told to me in some very colorful ways! I am indeed lucky to call him a friend. And thanks to Tom, I think I have every Revell Drag kit from the 70's! He filled quite a few holes in my collection and knowledge. RIP Tom West
  2. Some CHP decals and voila! The missing CHiP's Camaro!
  3. I heard they will be included in the next AMT Movie car! LOL!
  4. It would be a cool set of decals
  5. U.S. Mail kit and the Rams Funny. Otherwise, I am good.
  6. Oh, absolutely, but where talking Logghe car, but, the Digger style would be cool as well
  7. Can't wait to see how it comes out
  8. The Polar Lights chassis would be your best bet, that is what I plan on using when I slap one together.
  9. I would not waste a correct resin body on that kit, it is not worth it. At least to me.
  10. Lime Fire Funny Car was from the late 60's
  11. Looks like the Chrome Tree is stuck between two worlds. It has some of updated parts from 70's, and then it was halfway backdated for the Heavy Hugger re-issue from a few years back. Notice the Butterflies for the Enderle Injector hat and the Butterfly steering wheel that where part of the update for the last time they re-issued the JJ Camaro. Also the Front Cragar Super Trick wheels center caps under the blower halves.
  12. No, I will not be mail ordering this one! LOL!
  13. From my recollection of building one as a kid, yes, it had both engines in it. The copy I have now is one of the updated versions, with a better injector hat, steering wheel and wheels and tires. As for Tamiya paint, I would go with the Mica Blue, with Clear Blue over it
  14. Hey! Found them. The original issue decals vs. the re-issued versions Top decals are the correct version.
  15. The rather generic chassis was also used on the the Mustang and Maverick Funny Cars. The engine could be build as a Hemi or SOHC, and neither was any good!
  16. The first issue had the correct decals for the real version of this car and not the '68 Woody Gilmore car. The current issues have the longer dragster markings.
  17. I see what you mean now. Fooled me pretty good
  18. That would be really cool! I had the Duster's Last Stand when I was a kid, but never this version. Would love to see it come back!
  19. Just fair warning that it uses a stock style body with the standard nose, not a longer nose style funny body.
  20. The General Lee Effect? I just hope they at least come up with some cool markings, like they did for the Badman, and make it look the part of a vintage funny car.
  21. Cool! Now I can leave my original alone! I just hope the corrected the decals for the dragster
  22. Well, looks like not all of the Funny Car tooling went to Atlantis and no more Tom Daniels markings.
