    2 metal axles and hole through engine block?

    I see the AMT '50 ford still has plastic ? axles. That's lame.

    Even Tamiya needs 40% humidity or less , automotive lower. Evaporation lowers the temperature and promotes water in the paint

    So which kit is better Revell or AMT. Also, AMT needs more work to be an accurate '39 despite what the sedan kit says.

    Even in the '70s, Massachusetts required hand signals for the driving test. I guess a remnant of one tail light.

    I didn't realize Modelhaus made this kit until they quit

    For those expecting a '62 Bonneville, no dice

    The 76 Torino is the epitome of boring 1970s cars. But he 1977-79 Tbird was incredibly successful. 1/25 sales mirror 1:1.

    Their 72 Chevelle has 70 side marker lights on the front fender; as it was on the 71 as well!

    It is now done by t.m.resin on ebay Time Mahine

    They were $8 in the late 80s with ERTL

    The original Polyglass Gasser was the annual Bonneville. It seems like they will do the same as the Derby El Camino, put an ErtL '62 Pontiac Catalina in a reproduction Polygass Gasser box.

    It was common to use cross frames on convertibles because a lack of roof meant less rigidity. Hence, beef up the frame.

    I have been in a Chinese plant watching a younger guy text on his phone rather than work. For that reason , I can see why no-one noticed a mix-up.

    T.I.M has been better on Ebay.

    David,beautiful paint. I had the notchback Gran Torino Sport. 302 Windsor small block V8. Slowwwwwwwwwwww. 9-13 mpg. All the 72s ran horrible that I remember. Dad's Buick with the 455 4V was slow too. But this 72 Torino looked beautiful.

    Looks like Tamiya Mica Red

    The 1950 Ford was a Styline kit. The 1949 was a 3in1 with drag options. Some of these 1979-1982 issues have plastic axles that are NG.

    This is the early 70s box of the FIreball kit

    I was lucky to find one in a old 5&10 in Oldtown, ME back in 1973. Rare back then too. 70 of same kit not common either.
  23. Bob Ellis
    you are correct
  24. Bob Ellis
    The Palmer 1971 1/25 Challenger kit was good . Blatent copy of MPC.
  25. Bob Ellis
    This Revell Nomad kit is horrible. I threw my kit in the trash back in the 1970s.
