What I would like is a box that may have a retro feel to it such as Round2's, most of Atlantis and Moeibius with ACCURATE pictures of a built kit with the contents of that kit. As two examples, AMT had a habit of cars built with wheels that were not included or heavily photoshopped or the disaster of the Jungle Jim Camaro with a great detail pic of the actual car and the body looking nothing like it or anything else. I also agree decals will get me to buy a kit. I need a new Piranha solely for the decals. Extra parts may get me to buy a kit but after modeling for a bunch of years, I've got too many extra parts already.

Until I get a few issues in my mailbox, I'll have my doubts but maybe we'll get a second magazine, Model Cars Magazine being the other, to buy...... https://patganahl.com/2022/07/25/its-back-for-real/

Hello.....there's a couple of groups in Kentucky that maintain a Facebook presence. If you'd like I'll send you info on them.

John you always do nice work......I think without a doubt this is your best work. This really wants me to start looking for a 1/12 Tamiya kit.

The DecoArt Extreme Sheen paint is interesting to me for a couple of projects. On Amazon, it says the paint can't be airbrushed. Obviously, you have succeeded. Can you give me some instructions?

Revell's Ed Roth cars predate the Boothill Express by a few years.

Another possibility would be the XR-6 street rod of tomorrow from the early 1960's. Still I'm betting either Cosma Ray or accurate Camaro body for the PL Logghe chassis.

I also think it was featured in Hot Rod in the late 70's, early 80's.

This would be a great kit to magically reappear. I wonder who ended up with the Hubley molds or if they were scrapped for their metal.

Strange as it may seem to some, but I'd like the Raiders Coach....hopefully someone will reproduce the figures that have been omitted from the prior reissue and appear to be missing from this issue.

A couple of thoughts. This was a 23 year build. When he installed the brakes some 20 years ago they were pretty much top of the line. The problem is the technology has gotten better. For a street cruiser where the driver never nails the throttle, they were adequate if properly functioning. Lots or pro street cars proved this when that trend was hot. I don't think the typical safety inspection would have caught the problem. The one's I've experienced are more checking for exhaust leaks, working safety equipment such as lights and bake pads and rotors. I do think that when the throttle was sticking, the whole thing should have been stopped until that could have been corrected. There have been too many fatalities due to a sticking throttle. More than likely riding the brakes resulting in overheating them leading to their failure. Continuing to film so that the passenger could have content led to the crash. Notice he appears nervous for much of the ride. I don't understand why the driver didn't kill the engine and throw it in neutral although how many of us would react better in the same situation?

Every picture I see something new and amazing!

The convertible Cutlass Streaker fits the clues really well. Of course, I think whoever guesses it should receive a test shot and a boxed kit.....HINT, HINT

The Ghia is an interesting car. A luxury econo box. Of course this was in the same time window that Cadillac sold a rebranded Chevy as a Caddy.

Not my build. I wish it was.

The Deora is a rather limiting kit. While it is a tremendous custom, beyond making a replica of a mid 60's custom that became a Hot Wheels car, there's only a few interesting things you can do with it besides a stock build. You can do a mash up with a Little Red Wagon and get this: or you can steal parts from it, mainly the engine. Not a good choice to invest tooling dollars on. Plus it has been reissued in the not too distant past.

Cosma Ray......just saying or if its race related, Dick Harrell's Camaro body designed for the Polar Light chassis.

Dastardly and Muttley.

Wow, that's a blast from the past. I remember the Baldwin Motion Phase One ads.....about 1972. Here's an article to help flash back some memories: https://www.motortrend.com/features/1905-50th-anniversary-of-the-baldwin-motion-ss-427-phase-iii-supercars/

Beautiful eye candy......museum quality build.

I absolutely love it!

Darn it.

A bit of clarification, Monogram started making in the 1950s. From Wikipedia which in this case uses company resources, "Monogram responded with "All Plastic" "Plastikits" the first of which were a red plastic midget racer and a "Hot Rod" Model A." The '59 Caddy was their first 1/25th scale kit from making box scale kits and then 1/24th through their history as an independent company and then while owned by Mattel.

I'm also surprised by this one. If it was April, I'd see this as an April's Fool joke.

That was my question.....a tease? I don't recognize them at all and I've got a pretty good knowledge of old kits. I swear they remind me of Ezra Brooks decanters.
