I'm quite convinced it is the promo tool, I think all the Motor City Stockers were. It's quite well proportioned, but sure no match for the Revell snapper.

There was at least one 70 Chevelle tool exclusively by AMT.

Yeah, fins were boss in 1971, Daddy-O.

And it will cost only* 300 quid. Nah, man. I want a plastic kit.

Not rather, rather as well! Also the Turista Turismo and most of all the Boondock Bomber. I wonder whether all those tools are really lost (aside the '66 Skylark, which sadly is), or whether they hesitate because of some OMGCURBSIDENOWAY nonsense.

Lancia 10° V4.

Yeah and bring back the Havana Banana while they're at it.

The box art shows the yellow spoiler extension: Since the yellow #1 car was raced with the older style rear clip from the 'J' car that weekend, they might have nicked the spoiler extension from it's regular rear deck and pop riveted it to the #2 car.

Some even came with the steering wheel at the correct side.

Now all we need is them making a kit half the size.

Is this the issue with the open moulded 'gills'?

Is it only me who belongs to a generation that doesn't consider something costing in excess of twelve Dollars a giveaway? When I was a kid and went to the car dealership with my parents, I often got a model car from the salesman as a gift. That's what I consider a giveaway. Needless to say that I didn't get one in decades. Nowadays I'm very reluctant to spend twelve Dollars one something that doesn't give me faithful service for at least twenty years.

You must be wrong. Crescent Street can only be in Bay City, California... The artwork even has the same signature, I wonder who the artist is. The people look like from a computer game.

That's exactly what it shows. The total absence of any reference is suspicious, because I know for a fact that the show was extremely popular in Germany. So popular in fact, that phrases from the German dubbing made it into common folklore.

This arrived today. Note that there is no reference to S&H whatsoever on this European issue.

Mercedes Diesel - no spark plugs!

LOL! MS Paint.

Let's start a spark plug placing war!

Like Bill said, you have to do your research. Very few American V8s besides the Mopar Hemis had the sparking plugs in the rocker covers. Most of them had them in the outer sides of the cylinder heads, but there is a variety of configurations. This needs to be carefully investigated if you strive for authenticity. So does the firing order, entirely BTW. The same goes for engines made outside the United States. There are countless different designs.

Yesterday at The Junktowers(tm). Turns out there is another one in the area. It is an UNRESTORED(!) survivor and somehow its owner managed to find me. It's a very late model TA (the 'A' stands for automatic) in total contrast to my very early manual and it was sold new in my town and remained there ever since. It only had three owners prior to the chap who owns it now. Its first owner was a local bank director who kept it in a heated garage (I'm NOT making this up!). Apparently he suffered from a rather untimely meeting with his maker, but his widow kept the car and since she didn't drive, she employed a chauffeur! She eventually sold the car to the meanwhile retired Renault dealer turned collector I have yet to meet, who sold the car new! He kept the car in - you guessed it - a heated garage! He then sold the car to the guy who visited me, who keeps the car in - get this - a heated garage! The car was registered almost exactly to the day ten years after mine. Mine was registered new in Paris on my third Birthday, I bet this is a bit of trivia you always wanted to know. So why, you may ask, did I pap a door knob? Well, mine doesn't have any. The only way to unlock the rear doors of my car is to reach down to the inner door handles. The motoring press - and of course the first owners - rightfully identified this as being daft, so Renault reacted by adding the most beautiful door knobs ever made to later models.

If that Bonnie kit doesn't contain figures of Buford and Junior, I'm not buying it. Not being a truck guy myself, to be fair, you guys have been so deprived over the last quarter century, you deserve something new.

Mercedes Sprinter here... Do you realise that we just came up with yet another two no brainers?

It all depends on the location of the spark plugs. The plug leads always go to the spark plugs.
