Another kit love to have re released I had many decades ago...Sonny and Cher's wild 60s custom Mustangs. 2 cars in the kit. -
TIP-TOP started following My 1970 El Camino. , Round2 October 2022 , 70 Sox & Martin Cuda and 2 others

Looking forward to the '68 Roadrunner release, all older Roadrunner kits on ebay have $ soared. Nothing else to my liking especially that year monte carlo...Zzzzz.

First model car....wow going way back in time. Many of the early model cars you had to glue the left and right side bodies, the fenders doors were separate from the hood roof trunk. It was a Ford Galaxy 500 if I remember. At only 12 with no experience in 1964, I had clue squeezing out all over the body and glass! What a mess....But what fun and in my young mind what a beautiful car I had!

1970 El Camino SS. (Picture is my '70 ELCO, I want to build a copy kit of it) The one year only '70 El Camino front end was the best looking of the '68-'72. Think there was a Firestone resin '70 El Camino. -

Good one!😅 -
Fantastic quality build!👏🏻 I love this build and car, great livery colors. I just love these pro stock drag cars from this era of all manufacturer makes and models! Great memories seeing these cars run in their hay day!👍

I've been waiting for decades and time might running out in my lifetime to ever see it. My favorite and holy grail model kit was MPC Grumpys Toy 1970 pro stock Camaro! I saw it run at the west coast national event at long gone Fremont Raceway in northern California. My favorite drag Camaro of all time! Been asking auto world to re-release it each month they show what's new, but all on deaf ears! I don't want a Grumpy Nova, not a Vega, nothing but the '70 Camaro!!!! -

The Beetles

I'm all in on following this! This was one of my all time favorites models back in 1966. I just posted a few pictures of my Blue Bandito "Surf'n 29" build in light blue with some of my updates I wanted. Yes the interior seats and caddy motor not in the last Bandito release. I had to wheel tub the bed to tuck under the big wheels and tires as well as lower the suspension to get the ride hight I was happy with in my build. I love this kit and look forward to your build!👍 -
My '29 custom pu!

Yes the monagram "Blue Bandito" kit is the remake of the 1966 "Blue Beetle" kit that was one of my all time favorites building as a kid. It comes with all the scuba gear and a surf board.
