The Junkman

I got it to work. No dates posted so I don't know how old some of the info is. http://www.bonediggers.com/toc.html

1: A new, up to date molding of the classic 260/289 Cobra 2: Same as above only the USRRC and FIA versions (Come on Revell/Round 2-the only injection molded kit was released in 1962/63!) 3:Any late model F-250/F-350 Ford pickup 4: Lola T-70 roadster and coupe 5: (now fantasy realm) 69, 71 or 72 Dodge Polara 4 dr. I love my classic police cars

Well, there's another one but they drove Mercury Monterey's in 1957.

Can you model and shoot? I peaked at Kodak Instamatics http://www.wired.com/autopia/2013/10/mini-motorama/#slideid-100881

More than likely- :o

My Squadron flyer shows them in stock. Cars are 1/43rd and the planes from Planes are 1/100. All run about $8 http://www.squadron.com/model-cars-and-trucks-s/2373.htm?searching=Y&sort=3&cat=2373&show=18&page=1&brand=ZVEZDA

Well, here's one way to contact them. http://stores.ebay.com/Missing-Link-Resin-cast-model-cars And are you using this link? I asked because its working fine for me. http://www.missinglinkrc.com/ (Postscript: yeah, you're right. The parts link is verclempt.) Nice people to work with. They sold me a rear bumper off their mid-70s Ford Mustang II separately (going to use it on my Gunze Mustang II as the one in the kit is totally wrong).

I got this one in April. Had to go through a bunch of cars the wife liked, the minivan stage (less said, the better), and the long term pickup (still kept it '98 F-150 with 155K). Grabber Blue Mustangs came out in 1970 and I've wanted one ever since. Smile hasn't left the face since then. This photo taken a hour after I picked it up.

I can't speak from experience (don't own the Fujimi kit) but I understand that the knock on the Fujimi kit was that the reference used was a kit car that was found in Japan and that the windscreen/frame were dramatically too thick.

The Monogram is really nice and accurate (far better than the Fujimi-it was based on a clone-reproduction) but only for a street model, or rather the S/C. The competition model had many differences. Here's the current release Now compare this to the car that was the model for the first issue by Monogram A better illustration is this one, the scheme from the last release of the Monogram kit: Front fender vents are off, both the front and rear fenders are too narrow and have shape issues both above and behind the rear wheels. I also think the competition Cobras ran multiple Weber carbs and not a 4 bbl as in the kit. It should have "fine child-bearing hips". Regarding the 289, there were many varients as the production went along and the competition versions only generally resembled the street versions. We need a new up to date kit....because.

And while a Daytona Coupe would be awesome and wonderful, it pales compared to the need for a comprehensive, up to date, accurate 289/FIA Cobra along with a Competition 427 with proper fenders. Hasn't AMT been milking their 260 Cobra for like 50 years?

Forlorn hope but I wish someone had done a Mangusta kit/body. "Bill" from "Kill Bill" drove one. Had the lowest mounted headlamps ever legally allowed in CA-had to get a specific exemption.

I never saw an automatic in all the years the CHP had Mustangs ('82 until the last were run-out in about 1995). Yes, running a pursuit-what those things were originally bought for-required 3 hands for steering, shifting, radioing. I used to wrap the microphone around the rear view mirror so I wouldn't have to reach for it. The Jurassic age suspension also made things dicey in curves-especially fast, sweeping, uneven (expansion strips) freeway surfaces. Get the rear end bouncing in a curve and it just kept wanting to bring that end around. The spotlamps on the front were always black except where paint wore off, underneath was an aged brass color. I can't tell by the box photos but if you do a slick top you'll need either a light stick in the rear window OR 3 hemispherical lamps for the deck lights. I looks like aftermarket/spares box for sure. The seats look good but I wonder if you can source a Kool Cushion about like this: http://www.amazon.com/Standard-60-2317-05-Ventilated-Cushion-Black/dp/B0002KKSEG Having a 30" inseam I always needed a bit of a boost forward. Do you guys see anything like these in the sprues? I didn't. The first one was from a Mustang. CHP radio before 1992 CHP radio after 1992 (I know the title says 1987 but I never saw one in the field until 1992) RE: nobody wanting an automatic-I'm hoping to buy a new one soon but I have a wife who cannot drive a stick. And I don't want to end 32 years together in a effort to teach her. So, its got to be a slush box.

Drop that bar on the box and source a Vision bar, but only for a few. 90(+)% were slick tops. I'm concerned that no spot lamps are indicated but lets see what comes in the kit (I'm going to get at least 2). Also drop the idea of there ever being a CHP K-9 Mustang (honestly?) I had one assigned to me for about 2-3 years. Lots of fun to drive but don't ever get let one side be on wet pavement and the other on dry-swap ends at a thought.

Dagnabbit! Thanks

Has any company released kits for the 2010 Revell Mustang to bring it up to 2013-2014 specs? Taillamps, 5.0 or GT badges, etc? Or is Revell going to jump the current kit up to current specs?

Ohhh, a Lusso. Or a reissued 275GTB? Excuse me, I might need a little "alone" time. Since we're dreaming how about a modern mold 260/289 Cobra with FIA optional parts?

That is a correct set up for the 1963 Nassau Speed Weeks races. I just got another kit like yours off of Ebay for $8 but no decals and no PE. VRM has decals for it though. Here's some photos and a lot of other cool shots. [media=]http://www.flickr.com/photos/thehenryford/sets/72157628634708063/ Its in the Flikr Dave Friedman collection. Look under 1963 http://www.flickr.co...57628488413505/

I only hope they change their practices regarding their quarter panel sheets. I wanted to do a particular race car and the sheets they offered had all the markings I needed BUT I would have had to buy 4 sheets (at a cost of over $30-$40 now) to get the logos for 1 car. And then have a bunch of stuff I didn't want left over. Too much. Focus on one car or condense into 2 sheets with other useful markings.

2001 Petit Lemans ("United we stand", NYPD, FDNY, stars and stripes) and 2003 50th Anniversary (with burgundy accents) please, please. Nonetheless, the 2003 Compuware Lemans markings will be most welcome.

Mark of MS said on his front page that he has a few that he just received. Its gone now. Email to check stock. http://www.mshobbies.com/servlet/Categories?category=PLASTIC+CAR+KITS

What's the story with the Heinz 57 Stars and Bars Corvette in Chris B's photo album? Is that a Revell Greenwood Corvette with another decal option?

You and I know that but the Shelby Factory tour in Las Vegas says it was just a problem of not being able to get consistent supply of engines! I'm sure all the PO'd customers would have accepted that explanation. Nice tour if you want to buy a bunch of over-priced t-shirts and look at a few OK cars. The "factory tour" can be summed up with "Stand here and don't touch anything. No photos either." I'm very much looking forward to the new kit. Maybe an up to date FIA version or even a street Cobra would also be very nice.

I had wanted to get a body for the '69 Mercury Cyclone II and they came out with a transkit w/decals etc. I missed out on an Ebay auction and found that there was a website. When I attempt to get there now neither IE nor Firefox will let me get through. I was using this url: http://www.timemachineresin.bravehost.com/ Are they out of business?
