It sure is plastic, yessiree.

Yes. Only built 985 2wd in 1970 based on what I’ve seen. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=188820

People complain about not getting 40% off. Then greedy corporate guys. Lol. Bankruptcies, companies sold and resold, merged, and licensing, tariffs, logistics, etc. make the simple inflation calculator pointless. All signs of people making a fortune. ??‍♂️? But, it pops up periodically here. Makes me SMH every time. Oh, and I forgot health insurance, liability insurance if some kid chokes on a part, plastic prices, CAD computers and scanners, new molding machines, depreciation, tool storage,…. ???

Whatever happened to the Tamiya slot bodies like the 2J Chaparral? I have one but haven’t seen any in awhile. Unsure what else they had. 117 looks nice.

Giugiaro did the 117. Great looking car.

Casey provides a LOT of info here. A few others too. Deserves better than a Karen ???‍♂️ As Snake says “model on”

63 Fury HT with blue custom on box was around then or prob earlier. I passed then, wanted convertible. Looked like 63 Dodge at glance.

1/32. Lousy. Need 1/25.

Defunct resin company RnD unique. Dave retired, kid that had it fizzled out.

I’ve got both Corvair and Nomad from R&D. 53/55 amt donors. Nicely done. Cleanups done ready for paint. Waiting.

WW2 crowd. ??‍♂️?

TV car absent: Green Hornet Black Beauty Please please please.

What do they sell in that “hobby” shop, Tom? At least they were surely and dismissive ?

Agree. Needs to be 2 car kit too. Build both. Skier and Singer?

He’s lucky. You’d be dismembered on a real car board. Lol.

Why is an apparent PR paste here? Here’s Wiki if anyone cares. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexus_IS

Nobody has ever mentioned a 68 Coronet here before. Good idea. ?? 65 Lincoln sedan. In tons of movies. Vrod dune buggy rod Restore Mako Shark II, Astro I, Charger III, original Mach I showcar Meyers Tow’d, restore 65 GTO, 64 Wildcat, 66 Skylark craftsman, 87-88 Fiero GT. Rayson-Craft ski drag boat hull and Hull Raiser again.

Point about cutting up old kits is that a new builder won’t have stash to rob. Could have robbed current kits so noobs or just guys without Johans to cannibalize could follow. Sell more kits too Doesn’t make sense for audience or quick and dirty unpainted build. Snake don’t bother. Barely worth my time Certainly not worth money.

Uses parts from uncommon kits, Johan Turbine car and Roadrunner? Yeah. I’m cool with cutting them up if you have one but level this is aimed at is goofy. And $$$

Toilet

Chuck Jordan (rip) that designed it (also did Aerotrain) was a huge model car nut. He had a 1/2 scale buck of F3 in his car barn. Great car. We swapped some kits back then. Brochure collection was insane. I got 166MM brochure from him.
