I was thinking one of the early B-Ms was molded in green, before Revell started molded in (mostly) white for everything. I'm hoping the simulated hood vents are separate pieces in this kit, unlike the MPC '69 SS hood. Should make painting much easier if so.

There were some resin cast pedal cars produced in the late '80s/early '90s, too, so those might be worth seeking out.

I suspect the opposite-- very few part have fallen off an are loose, save for the rear seat (glued to a textured surface), grille guard (glue to chrome, probably fell off in 1991), and the top, which may never have been glued on. Usually painted is preferable, as most don't take the time to expose brae plastic for a glue, melty glue bond. Bare plastic-to -bare plastic usually results in a good bond, but you might be better off leaving multiple things assembled if the parts were fit together accurately and neatly. Won't know until you get it in hand, though. 1000% this. A bit of Simple Green or Dawn dish soap, followed an hour later by a light scrub, then see where it's at. Those decals should crumble a few seconds after getting wet. I believe the bumpers with the rub strips are unique to this kit, too. I was going to crack a joke about the sunroof installation, but it's far better than if the builder had attempted to cut a hole in the roof using a single edge razor blade, then proceeded to scar up the surrounding area. Not that I know of a ten year old who might've done that back in the day, I'm just saying...?‍♀️

The Skip's Fiesta Drive In issue was molded in red.

Looks like all issues of the '69 B-M kit were molded in white, not green, so no green...yet. The only 1/25 scale orange version I'm aware of is this one:

They were included with the 1/43 AMT Mini Trophy (custom '68) Camaro kit, too: Maybe not such a daydream anymore, with the recent '66 Mustang Fastback announcement. Gold line tires were just released, too. ?

You are not using the proper brand lubrication?!! It's going to "gum up"! ??

It has separate caps for both front and rear:

A little research into Dick Nesbitt and designs while at Ford, especially the Carousel, might prove helpful here.

Looks like the AMT Cheverra custom Camaro snap kit included the Goodyear GT Radial tires, too: https://www.collectormodel.com/round2-models/3112-coming-off-the-shelf-cheverra-its-a-snap/

Is this particular kit part of your Roy G Biv lineup? Was thinking they only need to mold one (or two?) in indigo and violet and you are all set, with red, orange, yellow, green, and blue already having been covered by Revell. ?

How many people even know IH made them? I bet very few. Not terribly popular, but a few have tried:

Same wheels as found in the semi-recently reissued MPC '32 Ford Sedan Delivery. Hopefully no sinks marks in the spokes on these. ?

A Blazer Chalet would be great, though a bit too offbeat for the mass buying public. Definitely something someone could 3D print and sell aftermarket, though. An all-new Squarebody C/K pickup and Blazer/Jimmy, with future variants planned from the get-go, would be a wise investment. I suspect the 1/24 ex-Monogram pickup kits are selling well enough though, that a major investment isn't justified at this point. Even backdating the 1/24 ex-Monogram Blazer/Jimmy would work:

Coming in 2022, the 1/25 MPC Streaker Vette, in the original style box: Nice build here, so you can see what you are getting: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/145563-mpc-streaker-vette-42-yr-old-survivor/

No, I only bought it to flip it eventually. I'd like to find a remote for it first, but doesn't seem likely to happen. I have a friend who has a few Betamax tapes, but thanks for the offer. Had it been Spinal Tap, I might've taken you up on the offer. ?

This could be a dangerous topic...?? Some of my finds over the last few months : Found a Sony Betamax player a few months ago, and a Marantz record player, but most of my purchases lean toward practical. I'm huge proponent of re-using instead of buying new, so, Goodwill suits me just fine.

Currently on eBay, a 1/25 Monogram '59 Cadillac test shot molded in burgundy and coral:

No news yet...?

The unique ramps which were included in only these three kits:

Thanks. That looks a bit disappointing in the flesh-- too short and stubby overall, compared to the real thing:

Was the Buick "Star Wars" air cleaner piece found in '67 and '68 annual AMT Rivieras? It was shown on the '68 Riviera instruction sheet:

Thanks, forgot the Greenwood GT Corvette's BFG tire caps:

Mentioned in the AMT Dodge Deora topic here...: ...was another set of tire caps (with blank sidewalls?), shown here on the original issue instruction sheet: And from the AMT '68 Mustang GT kit, which @Jack Lmentioned in the '66 Mustang review topic: And another set found in the AMT 1967 Corvair kit:
