MCM Regular (3/6)

Actually it's closer to a Civic Type R with the Hybrid's drivetrain. The entire front suspension, with its trick anti-torque steer geometry is lifted from the Type R. I'm reviewing the Integra Type S with these bits in two weeks, looking forward to trying this out in the twisties!
-
I have the two intial versions of the '51 Beetle and the K-Ghia in that scale, still in boxes. This would complete the set very well!
-
Revell's post mentions decals, so that van seems a prime candidate (well, except for the word "car"). As for the length, maybe they used a swb ?
-
Exact - Sunward Hobbies is a Toronto-based hobby shop so all prices are in CDN.

Would be fun to combine the 300 kit and one of a Dodge Magnum to reproduce the 300 Touring that was sold in Europe :
-
It would have been fun to get the updated styling and a Pentastar, but still it's nice to have a few "regular cars" out there to build.

Blueprint started following AMT 2005 Chrysler 300C re-release
-
I saw this in a Sunwards Hobbies (Canada) newsletter: AMT 2005 Chrysler 300C pre-order I understand from Scalemates that this kit came out way back in 2010, but it's coming back in 2025 with new box art!

Revell's Auto Transport Trailer: WIP
Blueprint replied to David G.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Same here! Added to my stash circa the same year, and if everything aligns I want to pair it with RoG's Mercedes-Benz 1628s daycab tractor to keep lenght in check and give the pkg an Euro vibe. Got the 1628s from a-zon on sale for $35 CDN about at the same time. I was also thinking of a silver-blue combo for the rig - like minds! -
Mack and heavy equipment project
Blueprint replied to TrucksMT's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Watching! I bought the original release (?) of that green Mack truck as a kid many, many - really many - decades ago. The box followed me through life and as retirement nears I should finally be able to tackle it in the coming years. -
I was there last August! Really nice collection, and I took tons of pictures of the 1:1 '63 Stingray sprues on the walls outside the building!

Skittles - LOL! I sold a 1979 911 Turbo on BaT for an aquaintance. It went RNM on the website but negs with the high bidder worked out. The car was ... yellow with a red interior (also listed by Blueprint, easy to find!). That's about as Skittles as one could get in '79 ? I do have this Tamiya kit in my stash, but my 17 year stump is not over yet sadly. I may very well paint it - when I get to it - as the "McD" '79 was since I have tons of pics of the actual car. Or go with my original intent, a period-correct - and more subtle - brown over tan.

Seeing that box top brought back memories! I built this kit as a kid, with kid skills and Testor's brushed on - figure late '70s / early '80s. It's long gone.
-
Watching! I have this very same kit in my stash. Liking the wheel design!
-
I will be bringing one to a bringatrailer auction this year if my client agrees on the reserve. Saw the car in his warehouse - wonderful little red thing. I still get goosebumps seeing one, after watching them in FIA rallies on TV.
