LOL you got that right i am 72 i bought and built my first kit in 1962 it was the AMT 3-in-1 62 Fairlane it was $1.49 a can of spray paint was 49c and a couple of bottles of deferent colors to paint the other things were 10c each and a tube of glue was 15c for under $3.00 you had a build this is part of why most kids are not into the hobby most builds cost me between $80.00 and $120.00 to build. -

Where is Chad with R2 February news?
rickcaps55 replied to Chris in Berwyn's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
LOL that was my thought right off the bat i have two kits with the slant six ready to donate to two of these kits as soon as i can get my hands on them. Most people don't know that the base engine on the 64 through 69 was the slant six and they also had a dealer hyper pac that would boost the horse power. -
Awesome build i love the colors and the idea with the bumpers that car would have looked great if they had the thinner bumpers, and a color keyed body pan under them.

Any word on a Revell 73 Mustang Mach 1?
rickcaps55 replied to Dave Toups's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Yes i would love to see any of the 71 or 72 or 73 in a notchback and with the in-line 250 6cyl. -
I have done that my self the best way i have found to repair it was cut a piece of a paperclip and use it as a pin and drill out a hole to match the pin and a drip of super glue the piece broke clean just match it up and glue.

Your dad looked like he turned out some very nice builds to me just the fact you have them is something special I think I would maybe just clean them up a bit and put them in a special display case as is. I'm 72 and I had two daughters I hate to think what they're going to do with all my models.!
