Hey W-409, thanks for the pics! This reminds me, I have three Henry J kits to upload. What company should I list them under? Weren't they bought out by Ford or something? Certainly, Henry J wouldn't merit having it's own gallery, would it? As for dragsters, I wasn't really interested in including them, cuz I find they're so far removed from real, actual cars, and I feel pretty much the same about NASCAR, Indy and sprint racers, dune buggies, diggers, monster trucks, one-off show cars, salt flats record breakers, Euro, Japanese and that sort of thing. No disrespect to anyone, I just had to set limits to the scope of this project. However, I have included many funny cars, gassers, altereds, early modifieds and NASCARs, driven in part by my own romantic nostalgia for these kits! Will post more updates ASAP. Thanks, guys! Could NOT have done this without you! Keep 'em comin'!

Awesome! Do you know what year this truck is? Thanks!

Hey W-409, oh yes, please DO upload all your Airfix MPC reissues. Earlier, I'd come across MPC's "SaberVette" rebadged as an Airfix kit, and I wrongly assumed it was a Photoshop cuz I knew it was originally an MPC. Upload as many Airfix kits as you have, and I'll add them in. Also, seeing this awesome Burnout Bird again just made me remember that I totally forgot about MPC's Corvette versions of this kit! I loved the "Firefighter" and "NitroVette", which used the same chassis. I just found images, and I'll upload everything ASAP. Thanks, dude! We now have nearly 3600 kits! Keep 'em comin!

Thanks to mrknowetall, I've updated 17 of my existing gallery images with better pics, and added these 38 kits I didn't have. Keep 'em comin', guys!

Thanks, mrknowetall! I saw about 50 kits there that either I don't have or are better replacements. Will add ASAP. Thanks!

Hey W-409 and ToyLvr, thank you for the pics; I just added them to the galleries, in addition to 10 other kits: This concludes uploading my collection of nearly 3500 images of American model kits, and I will continue to update the galleries with new images of missing kits and better images of crappy pics as they get posted in this thread. My goal is to someday make up a huge poster, say 24" x 36", of all these model kits, cropped and cleaned up. Thanks again everyone, and keep the images coming! Take care.

Just uploaded my STUDEBAKER Photobucket gallery, check it out: http://s1298.photobucket.com/user/StefMarcinkowski/library/STUDEBAKER?sort=9&page=1 And thank you, AzTom, for your awesome pics! I just replaced the 32 Chevy and added the 58 Pontiac, 40 Willys and 57 Chevy images.

Just uploaded my WILLYS Photobucket gallery, check it out: http://s1298.photobucket.com/user/StefMarcinkowski/library/WILLYS?sort=9&page=1

Just uploaded my PLYMOUTH Photobucket gallery, check it out: http://s1298.photobucket.com/user/StefMarcinkowski/library/PLYMOUTH?sort=9&page=1 Set contains: Barracuda and Cuda, Belvedere, Duster, Fury, GTX, Horizon, Prowler, Road Runner, Satellite, Superbird, Valiant and Volare.

Wow, that's an amazing story; I'm sure those 89 ZR-1 kits must be almost as valuable as the real cars, ha ha. Also, pretty sure that blue Vette is a 75, as the box art style looks very similar to AMT's red 75 coupe. Lastly, I just updated the galleries with 14 new pics. Thanks to all for your awesome contributions: Only Plymouth, Willys and Studebaker remain, unless I've forgotten any American auto companies?

Hey kataranga AMT's 70 Impala has a decent set of very similar custom square headlight bezels moulded as part of a chromed headlight/bumper/grille piece. IIRC, it includes clear headlight lenses.

Just uploaded my DODGE A-Z Photobucket gallery, check it out: http://s1298.photobucket.com/user/StefMarcinkowski/library/DODGE%20A-Z?sort=9&page=1 Set contains: Desoto, 330, 880, Challenger, Charger, Copperhead, Coronet, Dart, Daytona, Demon, Deora, Lancer, Magnum, Monaco, Omni 024, Polara, Sidewinder, Stealth and Viper.

Hey AzTom, thanks so much. Is this a 1975? Hey o-man, thanks! Going to add these to the multi-packs ASAP!

Thanks, Jeremy! I'm almost done now; just Plymouth and Dodge left. And on that note: Just uploaded my DODGE trucks and vans Photobucket gallery, check it out: http://s1298.photobucket.com/user/StefMarcinkowski/library/DODGE%20Trucks%20and%20vans?sort=9&page=1 Set contains: D-50, Ram, VTS, Dakota, L-700, Ramcharger, Ram Van and Caravan.

Hey 421gto: thanks for the Goats, and I found 3 others, plus an old Tempest. I'll add the 62 Vette and 50th anniversary 3-pack ASAP. Thanks again!

Hello AzTom! Thanks for these pics; I will add them ASAP. I'm pretty sure this 1989 ZR-1 is a side panel, and I already have the top for this kit in my Corvette gallery. However, I have it mislabelled as a 1990. Thanks for this clarification, and I'll fix it ASAP. I was wondering why AMT released TWO 1990 ZR-1 kits that year. Thanks so much, Dude! And thanks to EVERYONE for your passion and help with this monumental project. It's a true labour of love!

Just uploaded my PONTIAC A-Z Photobucket gallery, check it out: http://s1298.photobucket.com/user/StefMarcinkowski/library/PONTIAC%20A-Z?sort=9&page=1 Set contains: Astre, Banshee, Bonneville, Catalina, Club de Mer, Fiero, Grand Am, Grand Prix, GTO, J-2000, Sprint, Sunbird, Tempest and Ventura. I also uploaded my PONTIAC Firebird Photobucket gallery yesterday and I think I forgot to link to it: http://s1298.photobucket.com/user/StefMarcinkowski/library/PONTIAC%20Firebird%20-%20Trans%20Am?sort=9&page=1

Just uploaded 28 Chevy kits to various galleries. Most are kits that were not already included; a few are better replacements. Thanks to everyone for your submissions. Keep 'em comin'!

Hey Mrdarkmonkey96, I know what you mean. While I loved the stuff I grew up with, discovering tons of older stuff really gave me a whole new perspective and level of respect for the hobby!

Hey o-man, you aren't overstepping any bounds at all! Thank you so much. This baby has been added to the FORD Mustang gallery, as well as an old red Monogram 70 Boss Mustang 1/32 kit. Thanks again, and keep 'em comin'!

Hey kataranga: yep, I had the Penske race team under AMC. Moved it to the VARIOUS MAKES - MULTI-PACKS gallery. Thanks! Hey W-409: thanks for the pics, will add them ASAP. And just uploaded my CHEVY Impala and variants Photobucket gallery, check it out: http://s1298.photobucket.com/user/StefMarcinkowski/library/CHEVY%20Impala%20and%20variants?sort=9&page=1

Hey kataranga: Wow, you are the man. I'll be grabbing from these lists to flesh out my galleries for sure. Thanks again. Hey checkmate: oh yes, if you have pics, please do post them in this thread and I'll add them ASAP. It will save me a lot of time from searching around for them myself. Thanks!
