This is actually the end of the box, not the top-- you can tell by the position of the shink wrap seam. Same box as the first image. The above is only a 2D image, not an actual box. Unlike the first image, which can be found on a 3 dimensional box, I've never seen the "Motor Sports" version in 3 dimensions, as an actual kit for sale. IIRC, that was preliminary box art prior to the actual release.

Hurst Olds to Cutlass 442 Conversion?
Casey replied to Intmd8r's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
With Revell getting back on its feet within the last few months, I don't doubt supply isn't exactly plentiful, but it's hardly a unicorn, and you can buy two on eBay for a reasonable price right now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/85-OLDSMOBILE-442-FE3-X-SHOW-CAR-1985-F-S-Plastic-Model-Kit-hedders20oo/163452556752?hash=item260e8815d0:g:kBcAAOSwgzFbaldL:sc:USPSPriority!53222!US!-1:rk:1:pf:0 I think you might be best off posting an add in the anted section, hoping someone parted one out and didn't use the stock, 442-specific parts. Buying the specific parts you need from an eBay seller who parts out kits and sells the parts in groups is another option, too. Maybe I don't know-- are there parts specific to the stock(?) 442 version you want o build which are not included in the 442/FE3-X issue of the kit? -
Hurst Olds to Cutlass 442 Conversion?

Can you start with the #4446 '85 Olds Cutlass 442/FE3-X Show car kit instead?: -

Chevy Truck Dog Dish Hubcaps Kit Source?
Casey replied to Casey's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thanks for the info, both of you. I have some sleuthing to do... -
I suspect the obstacles are the kit is 1/20 scale, it's an obscure subject, and likely wouldn't be a good seller.

Musical Chairs -- Can You Identify These Seats?

AMT Cartoon Gasser Series - how many were there?
Casey replied to TimKustom's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
It would be great to see Round2 create new cartoon style box art for the forthcoming '40 Willy Pickup kit. Does anyone know which artist created the cartoon box artwork? -

Complete bonuses in kits
Casey replied to BIGTRUCK's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Not sure where the lines between individual parts and "complete bonuses" lies, but this topic has lots of pics and info on individual parts and small parts groups: -

Here's that topic: Someday I'd like to get both in my hands, just to closely compare the two. Yamaha motorcycle from the 1/25 MPC '74 Dodge Sports Van: -
Very similar. You can check out the parts breakdown via the instruction sheet here: http://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/979/mpc-3052-shaker-vette All of those extra, specially designed parts and pieces for this specific issue to allow the motor to operate inside the engine block remind me of the functioning body lift parts in the 1/12 Mean Maverick. I doubt the added cost and complexity was recouped by MPC.
