    Someday before I leave this blue rotating big ball, I'd like to have a full series of test shots(first shot up to approved for production shot) together with all the prints of the photo shoot and the 3D files. But the chances to that are slim, I'm guessing.....

    As a tribute, I'm posting my old built of the Monogram kit.

    Strange that Revell didn't tool the grille separate from the loop bumper, would've made the detail painting a bit easier... Great build BTW

    This tread made me dig out my BC version and mocked it up, question aren't these camper normally a bit wider, cuz I suspect the bunk is over the roof, no?

    Question on the roof of these van's, is it really smooth?
  6. Luc Janssens

    Thanks, and yes indeed some of the annuals are getting way up there.

    Good thing I got my copy when they were available at retail prices..

    Maybe Beemax, Belkits and Nunu are one and the same manufacturer and production facility. I remember that a rep from Belkits once said to me, that their vendor in the past also designed some rally kits for Hasegawa

    Revell got some free publicity there

    I'll toss another stick in here.... US model kit pricing
  14. Luc Janssens
    Oop's, my bad

    Post isn't the same as prior Walmart era US model kit industry, the difference is in the payroll

    In '03 a friend I was visiting and who at that point in time worked for Revell said, if Walmart stops selling model kits, Revell is out of business,.

    On the box-art prop it says, highly detailed engine

    It seems I failed to make my point 59 Eldorado or '65 Impala, or the AMT '58 Edsel or '62 Belair were developed at a time when Walmart picked up the tab for these and a whole slew of post promo developed model kits, solely due to their buying power. IIRC Walmart pulled the plug shortly after the acquisition of Revell -Monogram by Hobbico in 2007.

    Could it be, that there’s protective foil on the acetate? Dunno, just guessing....
  20. Luc Janssens
    yep repackaged Monogram kit
  21. Luc Janssens
    this is one is to be avoided at all costs.
  22. Luc Janssens
    Thanks for the info guys, cuz one doesn't see such bodied trucks in my neck of the woods.
  23. Luc Janssens
    Great box-art!

    It's my understanding that Walmart picked up the tab for these and a slew of post promo developed model kits, solely due to their buying power. Now that said, I'm sure there's a market for those Classic Cadillacs, as well as '50s Buicks, but I suspect companies are gunshy, because they' don't know the numbers, and they do need numbers in order to get their investment topped with profit back. BTW are the US modelers prepared to spend $50 for a model kit of "non-muscle" cars, the 250K question

    And both were voted for on FB by modelers, so they were wanted subject matter.
