There isn't a bad line or hiccup on this car.

Greenfield News and Hobby for Model Cars magazine, Collectible Automobile. The mail for the three hemming's mags and SA.

...and if you look closely, you will see that the chrome reverse wheels are actually black and white photos from a different car. Bob Paeth's car in fact, an old Rambler. They at Revell did not like the wheels the car used so they took a B&W photo of the rambler wheel and cut and pasted the wheels the old fashioned way by actually cutting the pic and pasting it over the Chevy's wheels.

In reference to the picture of the actual model on the cover being different or showing different parts not included in the box or maybe the front wheels are posed turned when the kit doesn't offer such things? I know a guy (not mentioning names for the obvious reasons) who has built many box art models for one of the companies. Often the time constraints imposed by the company make it nigh impossible to get a completed kit back to the maker for photos. Often a substitute build already in his collection is used of the same car. But sometimes details like wheels are different. Another thing that has happened is he gets test shots sent of some weird alien plastic that will not accept paint or primer or any prep work whatsoever. So again, out from the trusty collection a different build comes.

Ya know, I really like this car. Cannot wait to see the real deal at car events this year. I like the concept car too. Two different animals in my opinion. Every new cycle in the Corvette's styling brings the same pro-con arguments. I haven't built a model Vette newer than 1973. Everything after looked bland to me except for the C6. I WILL be buying C7 kits when they come out. (patiently waiting, Revell, AMT, whoever.) If someone does market an aftermarket rear bumper cover, I hope they offer a 6 tail light version. LOL.

Funny, I thought the real Dragula was in the Volo museum in Illinois. Besides that, I think all of us know that the Batmobile is an iconic car. I do hope that someone removes the gewgaws that barris added, like the Barris emblem and the Ford emblem and all the goofy labels that were not on the car in the series.

What ya need is a post menstrual woman!

I always make my way to the bottom. I read the first post and all the responses.

Happy happy joy joy!!! I got an EMHAR Bedford truck kit all the way from Norway...plus some Norwegian chocolate...yummy.

I certainly did. Read this last post I made. The E & A have NOTHING to do with the gaming company.

Bus companies rent out the buses to other groups, not just schools.

The EA you see is only the letters E and A used in the word "GEARZ". The stylized G, then two gears with the letters E and A, then the stylized R and Z. the letters have in no way anything to do with the video game company. It is not EA's trademark. Dang, do some research first before you assume. Did the research for you. Google is my friend. http://staceydavid.com/black-book

Go Green Bay Packers!!!!!!!

Hmmm, was hoping for the newer kits like the 57 Ford or the 50 Olds to be on that list...OK, then I will build a Viper.

First off Belts...not safe in a school bus because of the logistics of having to unfasten or cut loose jammed belts after a crash. I drove a 72 passenger 1973 International behemoth. You think it's gonna be quick unloosing all those belts after a crash and maybe the bus has caught fire? The seat backs are designed to keep riders protected.Trust me, they work. I got hit by a speeding motorist, all the students walked off unscathed. The same cannot be mentioned of the people who hit us. Plus all those belts would have to be bolted to an actual structural piece like the frame. You won't see belts in over the road buses like Greyhound, either. AC....School district owned buses maybe not, but here in the Milwaukee Metro area, all bus service providers are private companies that contract to the school districts. The private firms have AC in the buses because they rent them out for other non school events like pub crawls and trips to Lambeau Field and the UW and other university's sports events. They are a good alternative to the fancier coaches.

These types of transports (sedan chairs) developed independantly in the East and The West. However, the earliest mention of that type of vehicle was in India, known as palanquin or from the Hindi, Palkhi in 250 BCE.

Good luck on the project. Yer gonna have to reshape the fin where it wraps around down at the bumper too. The trunk goes further down to the bumper than the Impala does as well. The trunk lid will have to be reshaped.

Got a visit from the great Jimmy Flintstone last night. He dropped off a bunch of HHR bodies in panel and window versions. This is a slammer body as the glass areas are solid resin. He's got them if you want them. I got several ideas for these. They will accept a shortened by 1/8 to 3/16th inch PT Cruiser chassis. As it's meant as a slammer, there is no glass or interior.

From Revell AG 1/24 VW Beetle sedan AND converetible, vintage yet unknown, NEW TOOLS VW Van, from Samba Bus tool, MODIFIED REISSUE BMW M3 DTM, NEW TOOL M-B 300SL-24, 1989 car, REISSUE

I think I have only two vintage sealed kits, an MPC Ford mark IV with clear Transport Trailer and an MPC Gangbusters Chrysler. The Mark IV is pretty cool with it's trailer and you can find the trailer as it's own kit cheap and the Mark IV is out there. The Chrysler has had reissues of it as well. Don't think I will ever open those. I have a bunch of Renwal 66 Revival kits and built ups plus an IMC Ford J car that are opened, and I intend to build them...eventually.

Personally, I think the building itself was the culprit. When there are open sections of roof, water will get in and play hob with the electrical circuits.

Having been in that store to look through the bin for used HO scale trains for repair parts, I can attest to the shape of the building. I was afraid to walk in certain parts of it for fear of falling through. The basement had about two feet of water and mold grew everywhere. The guy that ran it had a bug about another hobby store and told me that other store was plotting to put him out of business and vandalized his building. Kind of a conspiracy nut I think. The guy could be real rude with people too.

As was mentioned, Battalion is spelled wrong. Also the "POLICA" should be POLICIA. I went to a Mexican Police car site and checked.
