BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK!

Nope, no model kits in the San Diego stores for quite some time now.

Unless the nose gets corrected, I will wait until AMT makes a Parts Pack for that Trail Bike, and then I will just buy that

I stopped at a different Michael's and found they had the Revell Bronco and stock Torino, otherwise it is all the same stuff. Picked up a Stearman biplane instead!

It was the "Young Model Builders Club" and they used to send out both Revell and Monogram kits. I had the mustang once, and I had not idea it was an Aurora kit

Stop it! Stop giving out ideas or the NHRA Police is going to come for you! And to 426 Pack, I like how it is coming along! Have you picked a color yet?

Might just go check it out this evening

Ooh! Can't wait for Chad to make the video! Said no one, ever

Strip it, clean it and replace the non original period type parts. Voila! It's back! It would not be the first time a classic has been stripped to nothing and brought back.

Maybe the mods should make a permanent "What Happened To Jo Han" sticky

Build it as you see fit!

I am sure it did as it was a total custom paint job. No vinyl wraps!

Why are they molding it in color? I hope they follow up with the Schartman car that is molded in white!!

I would say this is pre war by the looks of things. Love that pile of junk jalopies in the infield!

I should go see if maybe they do have the Bronco in stock, could you use a third one!

And they have nothing new! Same tired models from a few years ago! At least here in San Diego, CA

Why? They do make other kits and genres.

Come on, Chad, really?

Well, they do have some 1/16th scale kits in their stocks. But Aurora? The plot thickens!

Very cool!

Mean Green! Nice build!

Nice and clean! I like it!

My Condolences to his Family, friends and the Model and Drag Racing communities. I've known Tom since I started going to the Hot Rod Reunion in Bakersfield in the early 90's and have had many a conversation with him about the model industry. I wish I had recorded some of those conversations, like how the Dukes of Hazard kits came to be and the Aurora Funny Car fiasco. Tom has photographed Drag Racing, and other motor sports since the 60's and his X Ray drawings are legendary. I am fortunate to have one of his originals in my possession and it is one of my most cherished pieces of art that I own. It is going to be weird not seeing him at the March Meet next weekend.
