from here: http://www.revell.com/support/faq.html I've lost the instructions for my model. Can I get another set? Many instruction sheets are now available online here: http://www.revell.com/support/instructions.html If you do not find the instructions you're looking for in our online database, please contact Consumer Service at 1-800-833-3570 or cservice@revell.com. How can I get a replacement part for a Revell of Germany kit? If the parts are available, you can get typically get replacement parts for Revell of Germany kits through the US web site or the German web site. On average, it takes 8-10 weeks to receive a part. You may experience a shorter waiting period by working directly with the German web site. www.revell.de Revell GmbH & Co. KG Henschelstrasse 20-30 D-32257 Bunde Germany Email: service@revell.de I bought a very old kit from a garage sale, at a swap meet, or on Ebay. Do you still have parts and decals for it? Although we do our best to fulfill requests for missing parts, many of the kits available through collectors or other independent sources were released many decades ago. These kits can make wonderful collector's items, but it is unlikely that we will still have parts for them. If this is the case, you might want to contact another collector through an online forum. Collectors will sometimes seek out multiple copies of the same kit so they can combine them and have one complete kit with some extra parts. You may be able to arrange a swap or purchase that way. Why does it take so long to get parts from Germany? There are a number of factors that create delays for US part requests when ordering them for German kits, including shipping times between countries and available stock. Sometimes delays are created when we receive incomplete part requests. To ensure your request is processed as quickly as possible, please provide as much information as possible when submitting your parts request. You may also want to consider ordering the part directly from the Revell of Germany web site: www.revell.de General InformationHow do I tell the difference between a Revell US and a Revell of Germany kit? All packaging includes the following distinctions: Product Number: Revell US product numbers begin with 85 or 86 and can be 6-12 digits long. German products have shorter numbers that often start with a zero and are usually 5 digits in length. The product numbers for the kits shown here are as follows: 85-2840 US boxed 2005 Corvette C607368 German Boxed 2005 Corvette C6Fine Print: The best way to tell where the model kit you are identifying was produced is to look at the fine print. On the side and/or back of the box will be a small copyright notice followed by a company name. US product will say Revell Inc. and German product will say Revell GmbH. The product copyright notices for the kits shown here are as follows: © 2013-2016 Revell Inc.© 2013 Revell GmBH & Co. KGYou may see references to Revell Inc. on German boxes. And sometimes you'll see references to Revell Germany on US boxes, but the copyright will always say which company produced the product. Web Site: All new products are printed with the company's web site on the box. The US products will have printed on the box one of the following valid web site addresses: http://www.revell.com, http://www.revell-monogram.com. German kits will show the German web site: www.revell.de. Language: German-produced kits will always have German listed as the primary language while US product kits have English as the primary language. In the case of our example: Contains ONE plastic model kitPlastik-ModellbausatzWith these tips, you should have no problem identifying which kit you have. But don't worry, it makes no difference if you have a US kit, or a German kit. They are both made with the same Revell attention to detail and quality.

the clear lucite square steering wheel won me over.

short lived reprieve

WILD!

a lot of shows were sponsored by the Big Three from Detroit. ever notice a majority of the cars are from the same manufacturer? Dragnet was notorious for it.

i find it to be a value if i can help a genuine merchant stay in business and pay his bills. i won't donate to big organizations because i think the money gets diluted in the administration, but if someone is asking a fair price for something i want, i certainly don't try to dicker him down for the sake of saving a few cents. if i cannot afford something, i go without. i figure if the merchant uses the money to pay his bills, buy his kids shoes, and maybe take the wife out to dinner once in a while, it's hardly wasted. i think donating cash to the salvation army buckets, jerry's kids, and the thousands of other leaches wanting to suck away every dime i'm willing to part, is wasting money. we all have our own moral high ground. and the sun will most likely come up in the east again tomorrow.

that's a pretty interesting website

love the matching hat/ jacket combo. and the cycle hat (or whatever they're called) on the guy driving the roadster.
