  1. You can see where they cut a gate in the new piece to flow the plastic through it. And yes, I would not see myself trying to get this or ever use it.
  2. Wow, another Gray car
  3. One of my all time faves! Looks great!
  4. I doubt that, as the it was re-issued in 2003. I think it was more due to the Waverider being so huge.
  5. Looks like this became the Trailer of choice by Revell for the 80's!
  6. This one is real http://www.speedhunters.com/2021/02/the-wildest-dodge-dart-youll-see-today/
  7. Just don't use the Coke stuff
  8. Nice job on a pretty cool vintage kit! Not one of the best kits around, but so much fun to build.
  9. Looks like a factory plastic swap
  10. Nice build! These Snap Kits make for some very nice curbside builds when properly detailed! And these are properly done!!
  11. Well, you think they would already have some sort of rights considering the HEMI in those kits is a Chrysler 426 or pseudo 392. Unless they call it a Donovan, it is a Chrysler product.
  12. And who could forget the Revell John Buttera line of kits! Neat kits, but a pain when I was a kid!
  13. WEBER DCOE Side draft style WEBER IDA Down draft style
  14. I would dare say it is two of these mounted on a single custom manifold
  15. Finally got one, of the two that I ordered, from my LHS. I guess someone wanted my other one pretty badly. And also, picked up an old friend! Should be a fun little build.
  16. Don't forget this beauty as well.
  17. I do and I do, but, if they already have the body rattling around somewhere, that would make it a whole lot easier,. The spy photo of the trees in dry cleaning bags showed a body, and I think the last issue of this kit in any form was as the Streaker. Hence why I would think they can do it. If not, I have a King's Comet that will gladly give it's chassis for the effort.
  18. I hope they do issue the Streaker if the tooling still exist for it. That would make a cool bookend to this kit.
  19. This is the Revell Monster Machines Kit #7501 and probably the source of the confusion
  20. Those early Japanese Warbird kits where just slap together type of models. I am amazed when someone can make something decent out of them. Even Tamiya was kind'a rough back then as well.
  21. Without a doubt, the worst kits to assemble, at least in their later re issues, are the Revell Tri Five kits. And oddly enough, they just kept making them worse and worse with things like two piece tires!
  22. Nice stock El Camino Crappy SS nose version
  23. And don't forget, that all these cars started as Stock issue kits, some modified to the point that they will never come back unless totally retooled.
