Looks very nice! Thanks for the pics!

This is just plain weird to me....

What is the question?

Inspiration? Heck, they are flat out small scale copies of the Aurora sets!! Just hope they also do the Funny Car parts!! They most likely have access to the sets or even the Tom West drawings/blueprints, as they still exists. How they managed to make them without Monograms permission is the question. Or did they have permission? I really would like to hear how Round 2 managed to pull this off.

Wow! That is one cool looking build! Great job!!

I believe that this was during the time Binney and Smith, yes, the makers of Crayola, owned Hallmark and Monogram! There where a few other cars in the series and I remember my then girlfriend getting excited and trying to buy me the Monogram '56 Chevy! Good thing I was there to prevent this tragedy!! They pop up once in a while at kit shows and I am tempted to try and collect them, but, I have no real idea how many kits where made in this series.

Don't quote me, but at least 10 years or more

Check this out

Who can forget the the forgettable Hallmark series

It is ironic that we got "Actual Model" box art because of "Truth in Advertisement" laws and yet we ended up with horrible models that did not actually match the contents.

The funny part is that they did not come on the original issue of the kit as the "Red Neck Power Pick Up" but they did on the "California" version

I am sure this kept the cost down for these Model retailers to not have shiny, glossy boxes vs. plain printed boxes.

Wow, it got re-issued that long ago!? I bought a few when Walmart was clearing out its kits.

I hope they back date the kit

That is sharp! Very Nice build

Well, they still look black to me

Where do you see Blue plates? Those look Black to me, and odds are they are just Prop plates or new issue Black Plates.

They made some really nice figures and I wish they would have sold them separately. I have the Fiat and missed out on the Volkswagen

Set dressings for the latest Tarantino movie...

First, you are replying to a almost four year old thread and two, it would be way to many mods to the new tool to backdate it to this car. Not worth it. The BJM car was released in 2001

That's funny, I bought the kits for the figures! I have the Messerschmitt and Isetta kit with no figures

Wow! This is a very cool build!
