  1. I am not exactly known as a drag race model builder. But I want to build a Monogram BADMAN and it needed someone to race. I wanted something different and I may have chosen the wrong kit to modify. But here it is. Monogram 53 Chevy kit with a lot of parts box stuff.....some of which I have no idea where it came from. Cut the hood hole wrong so she runs w/o it!! Tamiya paint, Gofers and my own decals. Tinted the window orange. Thanks for looking.

    which HL stores carry the AMT 1960 F-100, the Richmond IN store says it is not listed as being stocked.....

    No inside info here just lots of retail exsperence. R2/AMT sold out the first run of the 60 Ford before they landed. The 2nd run is also about sold out.  As long as the kit is this hot there is no need to sell to any mass merchandiser like HL. Once sales cool some R2 may offer the kit at the discount MM need. Until then no MM sales. Just IMHO ONLY! 

  3. Plastic kits will soon be much like Lionel Trains of the 1990's.  Pre War Lionel was gold in the 60'-80's. Then a lot of collectors started passing away and he market became flooded with nice Lionel. Prices drop like a rock. In the 70's you might get $2000 for mint empty Lionel boxes. Suddenly they were just empty boxed. I have a huge collection, when time comes it will go out as a collection.
