Great take on this!

Since my post....five years ago (Casey are you that bored?), I've picked up a couple of Pyro motorcycles......absolutely rubbish. Throw them away. You can't do anything with them. Since they're so bad, send them to me and I'll dispose of them. Seriously, for their era, they're very nice. There's a few things that need updating but they're a good starting point.

Interesting the high bidder on the first auction has good feedback....normally they seem to bid on vintage kits. The kit may be worth it if the box was in better shape. As it is, I don't really seeing that box being that displayable. Also note that someone with a feedback of 1 but having bid on 121 auctions seems like someone who gets a thrill running up an auction.

I like where this is going..... Scroll down for one of the most famous trikes of the 70's. https://selvedgeyard.com/2010/03/25/buddy-miles-the-band-of-gypsys-funky-badass-mother-drummer/

And a very nice build that shows how nice this can be.

I know. I thought there were two different sets of markings.

So we're going to get a fantasy Charger funny car? What not the Color Me Gone or the Grand Spaulding Dodge, both of which MPC kitted?

It's interesting to note the Sno Skeeter looks to have all the parts for front wheels instead of skis. The second set of wheels on the blue mold look nicer than what's in the Bullhorn T. The body looks inspired by the XR-6. Several similar vehicles were built in the late 60's for the shows. Finally it is interesting the body is one piece. I'm currently struggling with the front cowl on the Bullhorn. It seems impervious to any glue I have. The backside of the T glued up without any problems.

I'm very curious about a McEwen car. Unless they've worked out a contract with whoever holds the rights to Chrysler this week, that eliminates a funny car unless they make a new body or do something totally non prototypical. That means it would be a dragster. They could do a couple of variations of front engined cars (although I wonder about Round2 having those) or something like the Navy rear engined car.

THANKS!

OK......any way to turn off email notifications? I'd really rather not receive them.

Very nice detail pics. Very helpful for an accurate build.

Casey- so does the kit come with that used and abused patina out of the box or did you have to work at it?

Not quite my style but definitely the 70's. The design is quite nice but the color selection seems off. As for the tractor Vette.....somethings should be punishable by imprisonment.

And just to scare you.....it was a real thing (sorry can't call it a car) http://www.barris.com/carsgallery/noveltyproduct/bathtubbuggy.php

Put me down for a couple of sets of the PE if they magically appear.

I agree this car holds up well to "state of the art" even 50 years after release. I love the graphics. What kind of printer did you use. In face I love the whole car. Really nice job.

What surprises me in this whole discussion is no one has mentioned the wrecks or how much it reminds them of professional wrestling.

I'm certain that both kits still exist. Not only is this available as both a t-top and standard roof car, but the differences between the Camaro and the Trans Am seem quite minor.

I think you've nailed it on the head. Neither the advertisers or the subscribers are there to keep many magazines afloat. Looking old magazines you could follow trends. That will be lost with this electronic media. The print media had permanence to it. Now, the content is only available as long as the link is good. Sadly when I look at the newsstands, I don't see magazines I want to pick up. I used to pick up a magazine about once every two weeks. I subscribe to the Rodder's Journal. I don't believe I bought a magazine off the newsstand in a year. The last magazine I bought was at a hobby shop, Model Cars.

I've never seen it before, now I really want one.

Seeing this, I hope I don't go blind tonight so tomorrow I can see something, ANYTHING, else.

Wow.......(word not allowed) wow.......

I'd love to see these reissued. The build up is without a doubt the best I've ever seen. Typically they're glue bombs missing pieces and well above my price range. As for a reissue, there's a term snowball's chance.....

This is a great reminder of how good Revell's 1/16 kits are. Great build!
