  1. The Revell one is rather clunky and shares the same chassis as the Monza and Mustang! Just a good novelty to have in the collection
  2. This was supposed to have been re-issued a few years back, but, it was cancelled due to a lack of pre orders. I really want one for my collection of oddities!
  3. I remember the late Tom West telling me about how some of these paintings used to hang inside of Revell HQ in Venice, CA and how he wished he would have snagged a couple of them! LOL! One of my all time favorite non car art pieces
  4. Hope this gets the juices flowing and inspires some builds!
  5. It appears only on one side
  6. Looks like the molded these out of Peanut Butter! LOL! Nice to see it back, hopefully in white plastic instead of Peanut Butter
  7. Too bad Aurora cancelled this line before the 426 Hemi was finalized. But the two that came out where and are fantastic
  8. Hey, look! A Cadillac engine with a Magneto! ?
  9. Oddly enough, I have been buying more Hot Wheels, and the like, than Model Cars. Simply because I really like Hot Wheels and the kit makers are rarely making anything I want or they are re making what I already have. With the exception of the lone re-issue that has been gone for some time, the rest is regular stuff that is easy to get. And yes, having way too many models as it is does not help! I do still think that U.S. model makers should look at the Japanese model of making current vehicles that are mostly curbside style. The bodies are nice when the innards can be quite dull. But, most of us have had it ingrained in our heads that kits should be full kits and anything less is not acceptable. This mindset needs to change. I would rather have a well proportioned body in a curbside style kit than a half ass done one with full detail. But, that is just me.
  10. I know this was just a promo deal for the movie "Used Cars" but I would like to have one for the oddity that it is!
  11. Yes, The Gangbusters series by MPC
  12. Well, there is really no comparison, this kit is so good, it is totally "Tamiya Like"!
  13. Going the way of the Penny Slots!
  14. We can eat in front of a Closed Hobby Shop, lots of parking!
  15. So, was this supposed to be a Car Kit News or Review? Or just another doom and gloom prediction to throw on the pile of Doom and Gloom postings? Sorry for the cynical post, but after hearing this same story for years, I just don't care. If we go and the hobby goes with us, who cares! We are gone! Just enjoy the hobby and go build something!
  16. Because it is the coolest of the set!
  17. Found this pic, apparently from an Ertl Dealer Catalog. Looks like these never made it either.
  18. This is Rad! Looks like a legit Monogram kit!
  19. Can't wait to see this develop! Looking good
  20. I heard it met its demise to make this beauty! I can bring my glue bomb in at the next meeting, whenever that might be, and we can compare them to see if it is true. This pic is off the web, mine is a total glue bomb
