  1. This is a dead horse, period. With no tooling left, except for odd parts, there is no hope that anyone like Atlantis will resurrected it. Scott never had, or will have, the necessary funding to do such a thing as bringing it back. Yes, there are resin kits out there, and that is great if you really want one, but for some of us that really don't care that much and don't really want one, that is not an issue. I know, we said there would never be a Rommel's Rod or a Tijuana Taxi again, and they came back, but, they where done by the parent company of those kits, not some guy in a garage. And unless Revell Germany, who is now technically the parent, has a huge change of direction, this is a dead player. But, I know there will be questions about his again soon by someone who doesn't know much about it, this thread will resurface in a couple of years again.
  2. Well, they only really destroyed the body and hood to make the Funny Mustang, so I think the innards would have survived pretty much intact, like the Olds parts of the recently re issued Cutlass. So I highly doubt they made new innards or are using the notchback parts. Gives you hope for the '65 Chevelle
  3. Whoops! Did not notice that the vid was already posted!
  4. Box Art I would like to find...
  5. Oh yeah! The Union Model kits! Or more accurately, the Union Models Re Issued kits! Quite a few U.S. molds found their way into their collection. And featured pics of some very nicely done builds!
  6. I know it came in the Buick Wagon, but I have never seen it in the Pick Up
  7. I wonder if they have the Revell Snap tooling? The Revell Snap Funny Car had a more current Buttera style chassis, while Monogram kept the Logghe style unit.
  8. Yeah, the cheap part is currently going away rather quickly. My LHS has the Round 2 Surf Wagon, AKA Ecto 1, for the meager price of $49.99! Yes, the low detail, pretty much a snap together, old kit, for $50 bucks! For a few bucks more, I can the get the AMT Transit Mixer! But I am sure that will be going up when they get a restock.
  9. Oh yeah! Good memories of some fun little kits! Thanks, Atlantis!
  10. He is just cranking these videos out!
  11. Yeah, I think it might be his phone and the wife holding it, or one of the kids. But an actual camera would probably work best.
  12. Yeah, shipping is a killer right now. I ordered a $30.00 dollar hat from Mooneyes Japan and it cost me almost $70 when it was all said and done! Glad you got them, I just might order a set myself if they don't re-stock them at the store.
  13. You know its coming....
  14. Yes indeed, the Datsun 310! I learned to drive manual in one that a girlfriend of mine had. It was a good little car and it was great on gas!
  15. From photos I have seen, the first color of the tin was Black, and then Plain Aluminum, with it being painted or anodized Blue when Revell started their sponsorship.
  16. My uncles 1968 Ex Police Interceptor Galaxy 500! But it was an Ex San Diego, CA P.D. car. I was 12 years old! Took it to the dump to throw some stuff away and he handed me the keys when we unloaded and told me to drive us back to the gates! Oh yeah, with a 390 under the hood, I had to learn throttle control real quick! Wish that car was still around.
