    For some reason, some Walmarts have chosen to put them in the Crafts Aisle! Yes, with all the sewing and knitting stuff! That is how I discovered them by accident one time. I told the crafts lady that they should be in toys and she told me that they are classified as crafts! So check the end caps by the Crafts area. You never know what you will find.

    Oh wow, I have never seen this kit in person and had no idea that they modded the tooling that much! Thanks for the pics and info.

    They can bring this back and just add the Superfly parts, which I think is what the Superfly version was.

    Just picked mine up tonight, and I must say, the boxes are huge!

    Now taking offers! LOL! Seriously, I just got mine. And the boxes are huge!

    The rig and trailer came from the Auto World Black Friday Sale and the Porsche from my LHS!

    It was a first a fuel altered, and then a Funny Car, if you want to call it that. I ran a 427 Wedge FE

    Don't assume! LOL! And no, they are not 70 to 72, are they?

    Why Round 2 or Revell have not made a new tool Chevelle is beyond me! They have retooled the '57 Chevy, '32 Ford, '67 Camaro and so on, why not an early 70's Chevelle?

    When did he pass?

    It was a real deal!

    Sadly, not great sellers, at least on the secondary market. I could not give them away at a kit show! Some of the older stuff goes, but the newish types doesn't move.

    Today, as I dug around my model kits I noticed something that kept repeating, and that was how many kits have Miller Beer on them! Here are some, if not all of them. What other brands have this many kits branded with their products? Coors, maybe?

    My LHS finally was able to get some more Tamiya Z kits and they where nice enough to save one for me! They flew out the door again! The White Z Aoshima kit came via Amazon.

    It is a glue kit, but a very simple one and it is in 1/12th scale. The likeness of the Fonz is pretty goofy, but hey, it was the FONZ! I have one in my stash that Henry Winkler signed for me at the Grand National Roadster Show. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/mpc-1-0634-fonz-and-his-bike--1223662

    Yup, and here is the story...

    It was basically a Torque Converter, fluid coupler, instead of a clutch. So it will look like a standard clutch bellhousing.

    Images of the car, or the driveline? Try looking up Prudhomme B&M Torkmaster Dragster

    I just can not find my HUG kits!! So here is the next best thing, the HPI Guy build video. It clearly shows the valve covers and cylinder heads, and they are definitely for a 426 Hemi! But once again, the mag is in the wrong place!!
  22. Daddyfink
    I will take a look at my HUG kit, but I am pretty sure it has the knock off M/T style valve covers. The kit was supposed to be the Plymouth Dealers car, but by the time they got it ready, the car was gone and the body had been updated to a 66, thus the HUG was born in kit form.
  23. Daddyfink
    The HUG has a 426, but the mag is in the wrong spot! A simple fix.
  24. Daddyfink
    Nice build! Thanks for reminding me I have this in my stash! Also, wish someone would make a trans kit for it.

    Grabbed some decals and their decal solution. Not much of a Photo Etch guy, but it looks tempting. Get it while it is available!
