MPC 1/20th Ford Van to be reissued..
unclescott58 replied to Rob Hall's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Good news. Scott -
Chris, I'm one of few people who liked those A-body fastbacks. The only twist to that is I like the 4-door fastback version better. Scott

Is there an 'Ollie's' near by
unclescott58 replied to GLMFAA1's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Sorry to say, but there are none in my area. Scott -
Very nice looking Blazer. I hope you show more photos after put on the "Boondocker" decals. I love those 1st generation Blazers and her sisters, the 1967 - 1972 Chevy pickups and Suburbans. And I still remember when the real Blazers were offered with those decals on them back in 1972. I also remember the other special factory authorized, but dealer installed, decal packages for the El Camino and Suburban too. I can not remember if such a package was offer for the pickup truck and vans too? I'll have to go through I old brochures, and look that up. Scott

The impression I've got is Moebius will eventuly offer both a Ventura and a Catalina. There's not a lot of difference between the two. Mainly slightly nicer interior trim on the Ventura. In fact, the next year, 1962, the Ventura was dropped as a seperate model in the Pontiac line. It was still available as a trim option on the Catalina. Small badges identified the Catalinas with the Ventura package. Starting in 1966 Pontiac again started promoting the Ventura, almost like it was again a separate model. Larger Ventura nameplates replacing the Catalina ones. But, it was still really only an option package available still on some Catalina body styles. This stayed true until 1971 when Pontiac replaced it with the Catalina Brougham. A model that was list separate line from the plain Catalinas. Scott

The absolute worst kit ever!
unclescott58 replied to Nick Notarangelo's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Taking second and third looks at the pictures, are door cut outs represented raised lines? Or that just the photo? Scott -
I know nothing about this kit or the real car. It's got the half a V8 Tempest 4? I didn't know that engine was ever done in model form. Brad, I hope you consider doing a review on this kit sometime in the near future. I'd like to learn more about it. Scott

Are you being sarcastic? Or do you like this kit? From the photo it doesn't look too bad. How does compare to the real car? Scott -
What movies do you watch over and over?

Has anybody mentioned Harold and Maude? Scott -
Rob, thanks for sharing the instructions. That does help get a better idea of what all those part do and how they go together. Scott

Great looking Pyro/Lindberg Cords, Bill. Yea they have some issues. I particularly don't like the area around the cowl, dashboard, and front edge of the door. But from what I remember, from the one I built years ago, it didn't go together too badly. Like I say, I may need to add one to collection of Cords. Scott -
Looks great. Another classic Daniel kit. Scott

unclescott58 replied to Nick Notarangelo's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I know. But, I'm still thinking about picking another one up. The last one I built, when it was still made by Pyro, was sometime in the mid-70's. And I still do remember how bad it was. But, I have just about every other Cord model kit. I need to at least add this one to my collection. Scott -
John and Del are 100% right on this. There were no 2+2s before 1964. And no bubble tops after 1961 for Pontiac. Del you did miss one other '61 bubble top. Besides the Catalina and Bonneville, Pontiac also offered a Ventura bubble. Sam, I don't know what you were washing. It was either a bubble top or a 2+2. But not both in one car. Scott

unclescott58 replied to Nick Notarangelo's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Another one I had no troubles with at all. Found it to be a very easy kit to build. And it turned out great. Scott -
I'm hoping to hear the answer to this question too? Scott

Very nice job. But, what is the kit (manufacturer) and what scale? Scott
