What are the must-build classic kits?
Sledsel replied to OldNYJim's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
When I think of must builds I think of vintage kits and re-pops of those that got me into the hobby. I'd have to suggest: Monogram Badman Chevy or Street Machine version Any of the 70's era Monogram Street Vette's. Hopefully Atlantis gets these because they are pricey. AMT 40 Ford AMT 49 Ford AMT 66 Mustang -
Are you needing AMT or MPC? They are different. Also to note, the MPC '74 hood is different than the '75-'78. I have attached a picture of a 74 Hood placed on a 78 body. Both MPC. The year difference should be true for the AMT kits also but I cannot confirm.

Pretty sure I have one. I'll check and pm you

Impressive being so small. Definitely could save space if that's all you build!!! -
Ollie's strike again
Sledsel replied to GLMFAA1's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I found it odd also. It was the only one there in a stack of Pinto's and Goon cars and to further the oddity, the sticker is on the box and the kit was taped closed with those pieces of round clear tape on each side. -

Cheaper alternative to Molotow chrome markers

These are ink based also. There are acrylic based pens available from Artship Design -

I did an experiment today on an interior I wanted black, but in my experiences flat black and satin black never had the right sheen. I took this Mustang interior tub and primed it with black primer and then coated it with vinyl dye/paint. I think it came out great, I have some red and some gray vinyl dye I'm going to try on some junk interiors. I will post results.

Revell needs to do Jonathan's Galaxie..... It could also serve duty as a 007 car (there is one on the Mustang box art)

That's to bad, that is a 1:24 kit and the others 1:25

Looks great! After seeing all these really nicely detailed kits it is nice to see out-of-the-box builds. I am leaning that way recently because I cannot seem to get things finished.

Yup, now I remember. Thanks for jogging my memory

I believe the lineup was: '70 Olds 442 Rambler SC labelled "Pro Street" 71/2 Comet labelled "Pro Street" 69 AMX I also think the Fury Police car was released under the Jo-Han label around 25 years ago when Seville Enterprises owned Jo-Han

Not a review, but a future release "hopefully" - Mustang II
Sledsel replied to Sledsel's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Although it is the AMT version, I'd like to see this again also. I do have all the body kit parts and actually failed at trying to cast them. I have a kit I'll use them one day. -
I'll join in. I have 2 Ford powered kits in progress but with the time I get I will post as I finish. Til then I'll post in my '66 Mustang off the shelf.

It would be great to see these again....... Before somebody says the tool was modified for the Pro stock kits, the pro stock (Firefighter and Dyno Don) came out in 74, then there was the annual MPC '75, this in 76, annual 77, and the King Cobra in 78. So I do not think the original tool was modified. I personally believe the tooling for the stock MPC existed into the AMT/Ertl days because that was the last Mustang II kitted under the AMT Street Custom series in 2005. Now, looking at the box build on that, it is clearly the MPC kit that was built although the box contained an AMT kit.

A few old one's coming Round 2 Box art !
Sledsel replied to Mr mopar's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
That '53 is a finicky kit when it comes to the flip nose but with a bunch of trial fits it comes out nice. There are locating pins on the rear of the hood to lock it in place, it is best to remove them and add something more rigid. I installed straight pins as hood locks.
