  1. ...also included a trohpy and stand, as well and the ubiquitous scissor jack and separate finned brake drum:
  2. Some nice 1/12 scale wheel offerings for the Revell Mustang GT500, Tamiya Datsun 240ZG and Tamiya Porsche 934 Turbo RSR kits: https://www.riverviewhobbies.com/Products
  3. Ah, thanks. I wasn't really sure how that worked, but looking at the drawing in the lower right corner of the instruction sheet page, that looks correct.
  4. ?‍♀️ I'm sure people would be happy with either the AMT or MPC Bronco. Just a bit surprised neither has been reissued yet. IIRC, the Bronco from the Model King set was the MPC version?: Since Round2 seems to be digging deeply into the Lesney-era tooling...:
  5. Image posted by the GM Photo Store facebook page, showing a '67 Camaro Sport coupe coming down the line:
  6. Not surprisingly, the AMT '64 Ford Galaxie 500XL convretible kit included the same working headlights feature as the hardtop: Does anyone have a picture of one of these early chassis/floorpans with the slot which allows the switch arm to pass through?
  7. Still waiting, Round2...?
  8. I think that's the best plan. Much tedious masking for sure, but the embossing powder might cover/mask any imperfect masking/edges. Not judging here, the masking is a challenging task. ?
  9. It continued well into the '80s, as MPC was still producing promotional models of Chevrolets and other makes. MPC added a special band around their already-shrink-wrapped kits to let buyers know the kt was new for whichever model year was current. This also kept a bit of pressure on MPC to update the look and parts content of their kits, to ensure the '83 kit wouldn't look the same as the '82 kit.
  10. There's already an existing topic to discuss that, without the need to further derail this topic.
  11. AMT pulled a "close enough" with the kit, using a '32 Ford Victoria, but I can't say I blame them. Things have come full circle in a way, with Round2 now including die-cut backdrops with multiple reissues.

  13. Thanks again for scanning and sharing this, Jack:
  14. And the flyer, showing the custom vehicles built by the Speed & Custom division:
  15. Thanks goes to Jack for scanning the catalog and flyer:
  16. Exactly why I am a bit surprised they have yet to be reissued. No matter how crude or primitive. they'd likely sell out if packaged in a Boomer-appealing box. Revell's '32 Ford 3- and 5-window kits are long since gone from the retail level, so seems like a good time to mold 5,000 kits,
  17. Can you scan and post those, please?
