One of the big advantages of making Studebaker models would be that there can't be any licensing fees involved, nay?

It's the Signature 1:18 model.

The wheels that came in the kit are too small anyway. I also bought a set of 1:10 RC car wheels for it, but I can't remember what make they are. Your best bet is to go to an RC shop with a set of calipers.

Yeah, I'll just use the leftover hardtop from the AMT 62.

Hmmmm... If a resin caster decides to imperialize it, I'll buy two.

Why do you pplz have to post such sites? I'll end up in the debtors prison. Meh... http://www.auctionzip.com/Full-Image/1255706/fi7.cgi

It could do with some improvement in the department of interior. But overall it is very nice indeed.

It's just so obvious, isn't it? There would be a nice set of spokies in the '65 Riv...Bt Btw, I don't often comment on works in progress, but I fell in love with your's. No matter how you decide to continue.

They are PAID for though. So much for there is no money to be made with such stuff. Here is mine: Do you see this, kit makers? I put my MONEY where my heart is!

Me three! I actually have one, but guess which material it's made of. So - a 70 Chrysler 300 H with separate bootlid and bonnet - a 57-59 De Soto - a 34-37 Airflow - a 1973 Dodge Monaco... Gosh, it's high time those kit makers stop dragging their bottoms!

Junkman says "PLEASE!" And please include two bootlids and bonnets, the H and normal ones.

Let them make both. They could use the baseplate and tyres for either, hows that for getting mileage from a tool?

Me too. Can I now get my 1973 Dodge Monaco, please? Junkman said "please"!

The Welly diecast isn't bad at all, especially considering the price. And it is really 1:24 scale. But I agree, a kit would be nice indeed. It's so hard to chop and drop diecasts.

Right. However, there was a roughly 1:24 plastic bank/toy of the Trotter's Independent Regal van from the Only Fools and Horses TV Series. I have seen nice models built from it, but I was never lucky enough to snatch one.

I'm aware of the Gakken/Entex/Academy/Minicraft/whatever 1:16 Moggy and built a few of them. Unfortunately, in 1:24 there only ever was the prohibitively expensive Wills - now Southeastern - Finecast white metal kit, if you are wealthy and resourceful enough to obtain one. A plastic kit would be oh so nice. The Revell, nee Renwal, Continental Roller already made it to the shelves and apart from new box art it is the same as it always was, including the well known glitches.

Don't forget the Gunze Sangyo Elan, which, despite being a curbside, is not bad at all.

Do you use a lot of it? I'll probably need 1/4 Litre altogether, that's all.

Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental. Oops, I should have PMed that... And just in case it isn't, it SHOULD be a model. And it should be in my display cabinet.

Imagine how much space there is for rust!

Who is going to pay for all this?

Crikey! Needs a gazillion bullet holes and two skeletons with tommy-guns inside...

Airfix also made two Astons in 1:24. The JB007 DB5 and a DB6. I think both were produced by MPC in America at some stage and that's the last we ever saw of them. Chances are good that the moulds are with round2, if they still exist. And you could ask the same question about other British subjects (pun intended). No newer Jaguar was released after the Hasegawa XJ-S. There are hardly any Rolls-Royces, and not a single Rover. What was/is available in regards of Lotus cars is dismal as well, to say the least. And has there ever been a Bentley kit other than the 4 1/2 Litre Blower? MG lovers must make do with only two models, the Monogram TC and the Aoshima B. OK, we do have a Morgan Plus Four, but I bet there is a market for a Three-Wheeler.

What is that early fifties GM truck cab?
