Hey Folks, I'm looking for someone to make some "Terlingua Race Team" decals. not for a particular car, I have the Cady ones for the Mustangs, but more for support vehicles, like haulers, trailers, and "ranch" vehicles.. Some with the bunny facing both directions... Let me know??

Geez guys, even with "Ill fitting" panels and brittle colored plastic, you all still build em up to be nice looking replicas. Given some of these kits date back almost 60 years, it's nice to have some 1/25 scale stuff to park next to our other 1/25 stuff. Hard to beat the Fujimi's for ease of build, but those old Aurora, IMC, MPC have a lot of character. And they are gonna give me fits in my retirement, as soon as I can decide on which on I wan't to start first. Thanks for posting all these cool models and info..

Awesome collections guys, Thanks for all the work pulling em out to show us. It IS appreciated!!

Great info as always. I agree with you.. Looks like I'll be looking (harder) for a Lindberg Cobra, and a Gunze. Time for someone to make a trans kit for the AMT's... I know the wheelbase is the same, and it would stand to reason the track width would be a bit wider on the coupes due to wider tires. Body width would be wider also, because they weren't "adding on" flares to an existing body, so if you split the difference between the two sides, 1.5 to 2 inches per side doesn't seem like that much, whereas 3 to 4 inches total sounds like a lot.. Flatter sides make for a much more aerodynamic car, so the car would be a bit wider... Right??

For being a simple ladder chassis, with the leaf springs and all, and being awfully light and slightly overpowered, shots like this show how well those old cars worked..

Great info, Thanks JC!! The Willment coupe looked strange in the pic above. I just realized it's because of the page separation.. doh.. I sure wish there was a 1/25 Daytona Coupe...

Welcome. I'm from Sac. Like the Pro/Door slammer type Drag Cars.. This is a great place too hang out..

Wow, just Wow.. Nice work Andrew..

Revell or the old AMT 53??

Are these all leaf spring cars?? WOW... and are the two bottom coupes the same car, (not the #3)

I like that too!.. Does anybody make the Breadvan body for the AMT/Sunny?? or a roof?

I am always watching ebay, etc, for AMT 1/25 Cobras and their derivatives, like the Sunny's etc, and I am always amused when somebody describes them as "rare" in one fashion or another. I don't think this kit has been out of AMT's catalog for one season since it's creation. Sure, it's the pre rack and pinion CSX2000 series, but it, as a kit, still holds up very well. Add to that the IMC Cougar II with the poseable steering, and we as early Cobra fans are really lucky. And Folks like HRM, etc, that have produced and sold trans kits and updates for the old kits, (And folks like afx/JC doing masters, etc) have helped keep it relevant for over 55 years.. Still a fun kit!

Here's a 3/d international in 1/25. I wonder if someone would do the GMC? https://www.shapeways.com/product/4NRRADT25/1-25-scale-cargostar-cab?optionId=62252466&li=user-wishlist

I just got a small order from Fred. If you want something on the list, drop him a snail mail and see he if he has it. all in all turn around was about 2 weeks. Also "r_gravely" on ebay has genuine Cady decals, bought from him a couple times, good guy, good prices..

WOW!!

Really great models. For a kit that's been around this long, (almost SIXTY!! years), it really holds up. and with a couple minor updates, or well thought out transkits (Thanks JC and HRM) they really pop. AND you can still get new issues with little decal or box changes, or even an entire body, like the Sunny. Nicely done AMT!!

cool project. could be one to try and represent in 1/25 using some of the early AMT custom front parts, and the 1/25 67-68 shelby rear bits.. maybe even some lindberg parts. and one of the AMT Mach 1/Superstang/Ironhorse bodies.. That is a nice body!! Good luck with your project!

funny, I just noticed in the picture, the mold lines, and the junk in the wheels...wow.. And I gotta see if I can pop the headlights off and redo them..

Yeah Rex, it takes a bit of massaging to get the body to fit over the interior to fit down on the chassis just right, This is the only built I have right now. Just a nice stocker, one of the grey plastic issues. Actually picked it up on ebay...

Man that's a nice Cobra

Those look great! but the shipping like to kill you!! He has a bunch of cool sheets. Any body hear if VRM is doing their sheet??

yeah, no kidding. but then again every region has it's great modelers. Forums like this sure have brought us all a little closer together.. (and unlimited long distance..)

WOW, Are these going to be available as transkits?? Awesome work!!

Finally got around to calling Harold. What a nice guy!! I think he got me all taken care of! Thanks for the number, Rex!! What a nice guy!!

Ray, I need the HRM hardtops, just haven't got hold of Harold yet... Really want one for the Dragonsnake. I got a box full of the AMT kit tops..
