What is the best rendition of a 34 Ford Coupe?
Casey replied to twopaws's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
AMT/Ertl '33 Ford (Sedan) Street Rod, kit #6714, which can only be built as a street rod: AMT/Ertl '34 Ford 2-Door Sedan, kit #6510, which can be built factory stock or as a custom/rod: The good news is both the AMT '34 5-Window and Sedan kits are cheap on the secondary market, easily had for $20 each. -
What is the best rendition of a 34 Ford Coupe?
Casey replied to twopaws's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I believe that is this kit, AMT/Ertl #38405, released in 2007 under the "Nostalgic Series" sub-label: Earlier release, AMT/Ertl #6686, which looks to contain fewer parts, as Dan mentioned: For those who prefer the factory stock look, there's the AMT/Ertl #8214 '34 Ford 5-Window Coupe kit: -
amt 1202 1/25 AMT 1963 Chevy II Nova Station Wagon - Craftsman Plus
Casey replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Not sure if anyone who might know is at liberty to say, but perhaps the forthcoming full(er) detail version will include the correct inline six-cylinder engine, and not a SBC. We can only hope.- 599 replies

Deora - Reissue versus Original kit?
Casey replied to Ken McGuire's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Here's what the original looked like, so the reissue should be similar? Many interesting parts in this version, including those long-forgotten sidewall tire caps: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOqJtpyhERemqhaP573KVHDc5PrYb7Abrg2n7ZPUS7Itc60zmT-Io-ge4EjCuPLig?key=cFF2ZDJLdTNBQ2RZYjZyV1R1RllOUDN5bHZDbXlB Currently on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMT-Alexander-s-Drag-Time-Dodge-Deora-Show-Car-Custom-Show-Rod-Drag-Racing-Blown/324168355970?hash=item4b79f09082:g:hj0AAOSwV7NewDKj -

Deora - Reissue versus Original kit?
Casey replied to Ken McGuire's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
AMT 1267 - 1/25 Alexander's (Brothers') Drag Time Deora Drag Truck Roofless version, similar to original release, I'm guessing: -
Looks like the International Harvester Scout kit is being reissued again, though not sure exactly which...hopefully with full doors this time around: AMT 1248- 1977 International Harvester Scout II

1970 Ford Galaxie 500 reissue : I added Factory Reference Material
Casey replied to migace's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Your foresight is impressive. ?️?️ AMT 1243 - 1970 Ford Galaxie Taxi I have to believe this one will be molded in yellow. -
jerry titus #26 1968 firebird.
Casey replied to mark 23's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Fred Cady Decals would have been (as in past tense, and no longer producing decals) the most likely company to have produced them, as they made both the '69 and '70 Titus Firebird decal sheets, but I don't see a '68 sheet when I Googled. Perhaps someone with a Fred Cady master catalog could provide a better answer. While the number font on the doors looks fairly unique, perhaps the sponsor decals could be sourced elsewhere: -
Reissue of Warren Tope's '73 Trans-Am Mustang
Casey replied to '70 Grande's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
No mine, but I'm a fan. Not sure about the funky #14 inside the roundel (oval-del?), but the box art has The Look. ? -
What is this photoetched set intended to be used for? I can't recall anything having to do with CODY, and it's quite prominent on this fret. Doesn't appear to be a flush AMC exterior door handle. Is that supposed to be a compact disc?

1/25 AMT '57 T-Bird Craftsman Series content pics here: https://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/1541/amt-ford-bird-craftsman-series Someone just snagged it on eBay for $49.99:

Agreed. I incorrectly assumed the Revell body was sectioned, but it simply has the bodyside trim shaved/removed.
-
I may have to backtrack on the sectioned comment, but it's hard to tell. The wheel arches seem higher than stock to my eyes, but perhaps not. Just took this pic, so we can each decide for ourselves: Hmmm, does look a bit too tall below the character line...

does anyone make a good 77 / 78 ford f150 styleside
Casey replied to youpey's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I think he has the most recent Firestone version, which seems to have warpage issues. I bought two to use for a bed conversion, and found the parts molded in a less than ideal fashion. Aligning the individual bed pieces properly, then getting them all assembled is possible, but as Roger said, it's a bit of a challenge. Not sure earlier versions would be much better, nor worth the extra cost. Lot of info and legitimate complaints here:
