You could reach out to this guy; I'm pretty sure he is a member of this forum: https://www.ebay.com/itm/196180173262?hash=item2dad3fe1ce:g:oqcAAOSwLy9iAyuB

Pictured is an old PMC IH Mayflower moving van (not mine!). I'm pretty sure no major manufacturer have done this, but is this type of trailer w rounded front corners available from the aftermarket, currently, anywhere?

#220 showed up in Sweden Monday this week.

You're right, that's what it was. I had comparision objects at hand. Many thanks! /Claes

Can someone id this tub, so far I’ve checked against ’59-61 Imperial, 59 edsel, Chevy, Buick, Pontiac.....

Further to this, I sent a message through the form in the sub dept. relating general info and experiences about the delivery of the mag previously. I have yet to receive a reply to that, BUT today #219 showed up in my mailbox.?

Noted! I got 4 out of 6 in my previous sub that ended w #217, got #218 off ebay, and am too, still waiting for #219 which I believe my current sub would start with.

Yes, it IS the Revell spray, this is a ’60 Plymouth bumper painted at the same time, mounted back to back of the Imperial bumper. Both primered. And I think the sunshine improves the image somewhat. Only issue so far, and that’s probably a handling issue, is, I, a couple of times have gotten a lot of small bubbles in finely textured grilles like ’63 Bonneville & ’64 Grand Prix. Probably too much paint too soon.... And this is the can.....

Mine was done in the high 70's and reasonably dry air....

I've tried it and I'm pretty happy with the results. This is over primer on a '58 Imperial bumper. Disclaimer, I've handled it a bit and that works but I have yet to see how it stands up to detailing....

You can find him on ebay as degruch or email at duanedegruchy@gmail.com I have his Austin A30/35 variations and they are pretty amazing.

Received my 1st order this past Friday and I must say the parts easily rivals anything I've seen before. Looks like another returning customer have been recruited.?

I'm pretty sure it predates the '58 kits, guessing it was issued in '56 or '57. No hard evidence and no copyright dates, though. Contents looks like this: The red sheet is a pre-cut acetate sheet with a lot of geometrical shapes. Unsurprisingly, the styling clay is rock hard..... A couple of different instructions are included.

Another oddity....

David, great many thanks for the info. The body was cast/printed by Robert Burns AKA Too Many Projects. He produces intermittently 100s of mostly US cars 70s-80s, bodies, external trim and bucks for vacufoming only. This one was in a long list of rejects up for sale at the time. The only reason rejecting it was it was too narrow. There was another recject at the same that was too wide. Axle, springs, tow arrangement parts, taillights and rear bumper was included. He is on FB as Too Many Projects and it might be worthwile to reach out and ask, if this is something you could use? Claes

Can someone help me identify what I've bought? Year and model? Got this from Too Many Projects some years ago. It probably had a designation when I bought it, and if I made a note of it(paper or mental), that is long gone.....

Whereas my previous post was hard to find kits, this is probably the rarest kit I have.

These are pretty difficult to find. Had been looking for the 64 GTO 12-15 years before i finally got one last fall. The resin is a Tom Coolidge/Promolite 2000 item, a '59 Buick Electra 225 4dr HT and I doubt all that many were made.

This was my grail up until last fall. Now it is the 69 GTX....

This one:

Then I'm not so bad off, getting #217 in Stockholm, Sweden today! That makes the score 4-2 in arrived vs lost and probably is a deal breaker in renewing. For the record, the missing copies have been replaced.

FWIW #216 showed up in Stockholm today. Where 214, 215 is, is anybodys guess....

Ditto! I was lucky to get #213 as the 1st in my renewal but all after that are AWOL....

Last weeks haul. I'm happy!

Good to have notes to compare - I got #213 as 1st in my renewal sub but am still missing #214, 215. And got the renewal notice a couple of days ago after only getting one issue of the sub so far.....
