I have 6 of the revell dodge ramcharger suv. I actually got 2 for free from Walmart.com because i ordered 2 and the model boxed were smashed because they put some random metal tool in the box that was heavy. I didn't order the tool so i called them and told them i got tgis random tool i didn't order and mentioned how it smashed the model boxes and asked if i could return them for ones that weren't smashed. they sent out 2 new ones and told me just to keep the smashed ones. However, they did want the tool back, which was weird because I could have just demt it all back in the same box. The smashed kits were generally ok. I think only 1 piece was actually damaged

i am going to be honest, i prefer the every other week discount over the coupon. just last week i got 2 kits on sale. had i had to use the coupon, i would have only bought 1

honestly, they only kick it and play with it when there is fresh catnip on it. otherwise, they dont bother.

can anyone tell me what is considered the best 1963 corvette coupe diecast (or resin/fiberglass etc) in 1/24 or 1/18 scale? i definitely prefer a 1/24 but would definitely not pass up a good one if its 1/18. my only requirement really is that its not red. any other color

its the stingray tv show. i actually started watching it recently on imdbtv. if you can get past the terrible 80's light jazz music they seem to love playing, its actually a really good show. for sure it has its stereotypes and 80's sillyness, but it doesnt take away from the story. the guy is basically a solver, like he helps people with problems that people need help from people that seek him out. sometimes the problem is unbelievable, other times its great. he does it for the promise of a future favor. no payments in cash. in one episode ray helped the district attorney with a case, a few episodes later, he called in his favor to get him somewhere he couldnt get without her. again, get past the terrible theme music and random music that seems to go on for minutes, and you will find a really good show. https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07PHNSFQ6/ref=atv_3p_fre_c_VP02MC_2_1

They are the same base kit. The red one is from the revell 3 pack and the black is the monogram black box. It looks like the red has very slight differences, maybe because it is a later release, but the car body and general parts are the same. The red sprue even says black on it. Its hard to tell from the angle but the sizes of the body are exact

i dont understand, the black one says monogram on the box. when i look at the scalemates it says it was a 1985 new tool under monogram. the revell supervettes set is a 1989 release, i assumed the 1989 revell was a rebox of the monogram after they merged are you saying its a revell mold originally and reboxed as monogram? this is the scalemates for the black one from 1985 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/monogram-2925-1965-corvette-coupe--176897 and the red one from 1989 with the revell package. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-7484-supervettes--1080751

Unfortunately i haven't been able to find the coupe version in a price range i can pay. i been looking and there was one but i got destracted and the auction ended before I could bid. i went nuts recently and bought the amt 3 pack with the 63 convertible, 57 vette and 53 vette. i also got the revell/monogram 3 pack with the 60 vette, 65 coupe (almost the same as this one) and a 69 vette. i also got a 69 vette in a package alone, molded in orange, and the amt 63 coupe. i also have a 63 1/16 mpc on the way. (it was my birthday last week, so i got these as gifts to myself with my birthday loot.

It looks like the revell 3 pack is the same exact one as the revell

Im working on the 1965 Corvette from monogram. its an old kit but so far its been going ok. I had some minor fit issues with the front but otherwise its been ok. I have carpet material arriving tomorrow to flock the back area. I messed up the passenger side silver area. The tamiya paint melted the blue paint causing clumps. I didn't really want to start over so i cleaned it the best i could. It doesn't look horrible. I dont have the body painted yet, but i have it ready for primer. I just haven't had a chance yet. I need to still do the exhaust manifold and pipes. For the rims i left them chrome but did a very thin layer of tamiya smoke. I intentionally made the carpet area a different shade of blue to represent that its a different material. however its too different, but the flocking material will cover it I have the amt 63 Corvette started, and i have slowly been working on it too. I like the amt kit more, once i cleaned up the pieces. It was flash like crazy

this is the same list for me. i also watched the loonie toons cartoons, and pee wee's playhouse
-
these are the ones that i have that dont have them. Also, they both have the dark tinted window, so i suspect these are the same kit. I did notice, the hood on your kit is different, and the mirrors
-
thank you. i just ordered a similar set
-
we have or at least had a kmart until about 2 years ago. i dont know if it still there. however, the last time i was there, they did not have any models.

for the lead pencil, is it like a typical school #2 pencil, or a special artist pencil?
-
I have to ask, how did you do the dials in the dash? Are they decals?

i woke up in the middle of the night with my cat trying to put his head into my open mouth when i slept. i would guess realistically, he was just putting his nose in there to smell my delicious morning breath, but at 4 in the morning, its pretty odd to wake up to.

i can't speak from experience, but i just got the 78 corvette indy pace car from revell germany. it got good reviews. i havent started the kit yet, but it looks pretty nice

Email sent. Thank you for the post

I got the monogram 65 Corvette and im nearly done with the build. I just noticed there are no wipers, not on the tree or instructions and not on the body(not molded in) there are holes for it though. Meh, now i need to find some. Anyone know of a kit that has external wipers that would look close?

I recently bought this. It reminds me of the model master glue that was in the triangle container. It might be the same glue. It has a thin metal tip that you can put small amounts of glue. I like it better than the tamiya extra thin cement. It does take longer to set though. However I have made many mistakes with the tamiya glue that i dont with this. https://www.megahobby.com/products/25g-professional-liquid-cement-w-applicator-revell-germany.html EDIT: hmm, i am finding the glue doesnt hold as good as the model master. i have switched back -
ok thanks guys. i will give them a cleaning.

I was the proud winner of a revell Corvette box set that has black mold on the inside of the box. I didnt know it when i bought it and the kit was sealed except for a small tear in the bottom of the box so i assume the seller didnt know either. I put the kits in ziplock bags and threw out the box right away. I dont see any mold on the model bags. It looks like it was just on the box. Should I toss the kits too? Or do you think they are ok? There is a very slight odor if i open the zip locks but nothing like when i opened the box
