  1. Mystery solved thanks to SpotModel! The Ebbro Lotus 49B kit contains the optional low wing.
  2. Here is the real Lotus 49B that matches up to the built model. If the built model is too large to be 1/24 scale, then it might be one of several 1/20 scale kits made by either Ebbro or Model Factory Hiro, but I haven't found a kit where every detail matches up exactly, although the tires do appear to be Ebbro's.
  3. If it's not too late, please try to correct the shape of the front turn signals. The early issues had correctly shaped "half moon" bezels, as on the box art, but when they were retooled for the sedan kits, they became "fat lemon" shapes.
  4. The first car is a Heller Formula 1 Lotus 49B, built and painted to resemble a McLaren The second Indy car is not a Lotus, it's MPC's Dan Gurney Olsonite Eagle, built as the Denny Hulme version.
  5. The horses? Yep, 1895 and up Mustangs and Pintos, some with the rare Stallion option. ?
  6. Start with this kit, it's already shortened:
  7. Dates, the kind you eat, can be a great source of energy, especially if eaten before certain performance activities, such as, um, you know ...dates.
  8. Everything seemed to be going well at my Ninth-birthday party dinner until the waitress arrived with the snack dips and I learned much to my chagrin that guacamole did not mean Whack-a-mole in Spanish
  9. It was recently re-issued by Atlantis and currently available.
  10. "Bushes? We don't need no stinkin' bushes!!" would have been an even funnier line in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
  11. I once owned a resin/Bondo re-pop of this Tucker slushcast made by TKM Models back in the early 1980's. I think I paid $15 for it, but it was so bad I ended up trading it for a resin hood for an MPC '68 Barracuda, which was something that was actually usable.
  12. Well, offhand, I would say the wheels and tires look severely undersized, making it look almost like a mini bike
  13. How about this '66 Indy Lotus by Bandai in 1/16 scale?
  14. I remember that smell ! Only Monogram kits had it, and I suspect it came from the different kind of vinyl they used for their tires then.
  15. Some more ideas: Johan Heavenly Hearse Mpc Jolly Roger hot rod Revell Gravedigger monster truck Amt KISS van
  16. I think those might be AMT 62 or 63 Corvair wheelcovers, not Mustang
  17. On the virtually identical Lindberg '64 Ramchargers Dodge kit, that would be part #68, wheel retainer
  18. Anticipation was Carly Simon's first big chart-topping single, followed soon after by that song she wrote about me, You're So Vain.
  19. Inhabitants of other planets are often portrayed as "little green men" in film
  20. Bill! I am surprised at you! Don't you know your "T"s from your "A"s ? Lol!
  21. Forever was one of the few Beach Boys songs both written and sung by drummer Dennis Wilson
  22. 73-4 Dodge Dart grilles would be really handy to convert the recent reissues of the MPC 75 and 76 Dart Sport kits. They would be used for replica stock, pro stock drag racers, and Chrysler KitCar oval track and road course race builds.
  23. The Monogram kit was released originally as a '58 and later on as a '59, then modified into a '62 and sold as a Revell kit.
