Can we say Batmobile? I have to admit, I dug the Tumbler, but can't wait to see what they come up with next. Wonder if it'll look anything like 90's cartoon ones that kinda resembled a land speed car (to me anyway )

That's right, you guys can get WGN on cable there. Do the Iowa Cubs play any better that the Chicago Cubs?

Neat, two Edsel and a Vette grill combined!

X2, I'm not much of a fan of the Hummer Brand, but that one looks great, maybe Iceland ready

X2, looks like it's replicating the '58 Chevy C-pillars.

That's a beautiful car, but that thing must lift like an airplane wing at speed :ph34r:

Never had the opportunity to buy one....Hey Revell, bring these back!

That car is still just unbelievable, Keep it up!!!!

Wasn't for me, I was just curious since the dealership parts guy has been looking for M35 models since he now owns the real one I posted the pic of. The other guy is the president of the local r/c crawling club want one, might be because he's a former solder or was just cool looking, I'm not to sure. Both of them and my self happen to be members of the same local Jeep owners club too.

I'm guessing some kind of diecast, the front turn signal looks like a decal of some sort on top of what others have mentioned.

Depends on how hard they were backed into the tails Speaking of which, that thing looks like it's been knocked around pretty hard itself!

That's what I was afraid of, Thanks Dragon.

One of the parts guy from a local Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealer and a member of a local Jeep forum just picked up a '71 AM General M35A2 and when I talked to him last monday he asked if I knew of any kits that were offered. All I could find a 1/72 Academy M35 kit at work and he came by and bought it today to build and paint up like he wants to refinish his in the future. Last night he sent me the below link in a PM, it's a 1/14 scale RC M35A2 that looks to be built off of Tamiya's 1/10 scale Highlift chassis and using Tamiya's 1/10 Humvee wheels on Highlift tires. Does anybody know of a premade plastic body in that scale from Bruder or 21st Century Soldier? Another Jeep Club member who's also the SCRC president wants one in this scale too. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b8cf04b3...3D550/ry%3D400/

Where's the jerk in the Judge?

Sure does, and it looks like Jungle Pam approves!

Looks good, I'd bet I have one somewhere around here that looks alot like what you started with. For a minute there, I thought you were talking about the real car there

That's odd, I was thinking post '68 Mustang Frank Bullett Can't wait to see it done!

That is utterly pointless......I love it!

I hear you, but wasn't fortunate enough to have old kits handed down. I'm 32 and when I'd bought those kits I either knew from reading in SAE or figured out on my own that those kits were around in many cases back when subject was showroom fresh. One thing I've noticed in both current publications is that the reviewer doesn't always mention the age of the kit like was done in years past, and that can probably allow younger folk think that these are new kits, and then the whiney tantrums start

Real

Is that the same kit as the GoodGuys T-Bucket?

The bumpers are plastic anyway, loosing what ever aero bou might get could be a pretty good reason not to, especially with a front driver

Model

I found this on another forum ]I couldn't have said this any better myself. MITCH ALBOM Hey, you senators: Thanks for nothing A few parting words for the senators who squashed the auto rescue By MITCH ALBOM • FREE PRESS COLUMNIST • December 13, 2008 Do you want to watch us drown? Is that it? Do want to see the last gurgle of economic air spit from our lips? If so, senators, know this: You’ll go down with us. America isn’t America without an auto industry. You can argue whether $14 billion would have saved it, but you surely tried to kill it. We have grease on our hands. You have blood. Kill the car, kill the country. History will show that when America was on its knees, a handful of lawmakers tried to cut off its feet. And blame the workers. How suddenly did the workers — a small percentage of a car’s cost — become justification for crushing an industry? And when did Detroit become the symbol of economic dysfunction? Are you kidding? Have you looked in the mirror lately, Washington? In a world where banks hemorrhaged trillions in a high-priced gamble called credit derivative swaps that YOU failed to regulate, how on earth do WE need to be punished? In a bailout era where you shoveled billions, with no demands, to banks and financial firms, why do WE need to be schooled on how to run a business? Who is more dysfunctional in business than YOU? Who blows more money? Who wastes more trillions on favors, payback and pork? At least in the auto industry, if folks don’t like what you make, they don’t have to buy it. In government, even your worst mistakes, we have to live with. And now Detroit should die with this? In bed with the foreign automakers Kill the car, kill the country. Sen. Richard Shelby, Sen. Bob Corker, Sen. Mitch McConnell, your names will not be forgotten. It’s amazing how you pretend to speak for America when you are only watching out for your political party, which would love to cripple unions, and your states, which house foreign auto plants. Corker, you’ve got Nissan there and Volkswagen coming. Shelby, you’ve got Hyundai, Honda, Mercedes-Benz and — like McConnell — Toyota. Oh, don’t kid yourself. They didn’t come because you earned their business, a subject on which you enjoy lecturing the Detroit Three. No, they came because you threw billions in state tax breaks to lure them. And now you want those foreign companies, which you lured, and which get help from their governments, to dictate to American workers how much they should be paid? Tell you what. You’re so fond of the foreign model, why don’t you do what Japanese ministers do when they screw up the country’s finances? They cut their salaries. Or they resign in shame. When was the last time a U.S. senator resigned over a failed policy? Yet you want to fire Rick Wagoner? Who are you people? More money for the lords of Wall Street There ought to be a law — against the hypocrisy our government has demonstrated. The speed with which wheelbarrows of money were dumped on Wall Street versus the slow noose hung on the auto companies’ necks is reprehensible. Some of those same banks we bailed out are now saying they won’t extend credit to auto dealers. Wasn’t that why we gave them the money? To loosen credit? Where’s your tight grip on those funds, senators? Where’s your micromanaging of the wages in banking? Or do you just enjoy having your hands around blue-collared throats? No matter what the president does, history will not forget this: At our nation’s most uncertain hour, you senators stood ready to plunge hundreds of thousands of American families into oblivion. Leave them unemployed, with no health care, on public assistance. And you were willing to put our nation’s security at risk — by squashing the manufacturing base we must have in times of war. And why? So you could stand on some phony principle? Crush a union? Play to your base? How is our nation better off today now that you kept $14 billion in the treasury? Are you going to balance the budget with that? Don’t make us laugh. Kill the car, kill the country. You tried to slam a stake into our chest; you don’t realize how close you are to the nation’s heart. Shame on your pettiness. Shame on your hypocrisy. This is how lawmakers behave two weeks before Christmas? Honestly. What has become of this country? Contact MITCH ALBOM at 313-223-4581 or malbom@freepress.com.
