Got mine today....but too busy........Maybe this W/E......Thx

If you have an issue contact me I may have some NOS still.

I can confirm it is a JNJ decal. We were the biggest JNJ dealer at the time. A license issue mad it a generic sheet. I always stopped at CROWN gas when I lived in Charlotte......but they are all gone now. My build.....what decals do you need???

Thanks for FB.....I did recall Wagon and added it to video text......thx

Pretty basic video.....my first model car post. Watch if you can...let me know. Thanks in advance!!!

1990 Roush IMSA Cougar......I built this back around 1993.

A little high tech and a lot of low tech building there. Pretty cool. I'd like to know what that white ridged foam material is. Thx

I do not model the RI/Rock but I do like the look of the locos. So I have a number of models, more than I should maybe.......they are cool!! Thx for sharing the photos

Mine is done to Mach 5, Rail Runner and Atlantis tanks and missiles. TIME FOR NEW STOCK!

Empty PO Box today........................?

This issue of the Matador NASCAR kits had the stock grille on the chrome tree. All other versions DID NOT. Owning a reall 74 Matador coupe I have every model Matador I know was made including some 1/64 die cast that had a short run. BTW: These cars were and are ahead of their time. Mine has the 304 / 727 combo, big disk brakes and fat sway bars front and rear. The car still drives much like a modern car considering it's FIFTY years old!!! The 304 is about as good as the 302 Ford....and very much alike with lots of FORD parts. All from the factory. Thx

CHANGE ....the only CONSTANT. I have 5 'collector' cars and another under construction. I don't really care what there value is. NONE are leaving my garage while I am here. After that??? 2 of mine.....

I have a bunch of stuff left over from my HO days.......nothing really $$$ so I figured I do a dio. Wlather White Castle kit. Simple 18 parts. Tamiya gloss white and chrome pen. Roof details are parrts box stuff. Thanks s

Cloning a kit just removes some work. Work = $$$$. I lent my Monorgram Dragon Wagon to RM to clone. It took out a step for the tool maker and saved cash and made the project viable. I did the same for another unnamed stock production car with Moebius. That project was killed mid way when Pegasus bought Moebius and I hope it can be shopped to someone. Even partial kits are cloned. Trumpeter Nova parts made it into others kits. Cloning is just another option. Thx

I think I have all the 1961-3 multi build kits. Very cool kits.....

I have a 1961 issue of the kit. FILLED with cool stuf. It was a 6 in 1 kit. You got a deal in my book!!

JUST STAY TUNED.....................?

The kits IMC was going reissue did exist at that time. And yes......those tools are from a different time and will not run im todays injection machines. Atlantis and Glencoe HAVE the machines needed but more importantly they have the SKILL to make them run and produce a product that is decent. That tooling was looked into after IMC bailed by Moebius, along with a few other late 1950's Chrysler kits. ALL were found to be in such poor condition it would be cheaper to clone the tools in China than fix them. Moebius bailed too. IF you have the CASH and the ability to fix and run old tools it can be found out there. But everyone from IMC, Accurate Miniatures and Moebius have all looked at it and said NO. If you have a $1M to loose....I can hook you up! Thx

The only thing Ill add to Mark's comments right now is I repro'd and printed many of the decal sheets Okey sold loose. AMX, Turbine and a few others. What all he had I do not know.......but I did that for a few years for him. Thx

I like this!!

Cady did them,.....still some out there

It's a long story........Final word is Atomic City owns the JoHan name, logo and trade dress.

I like the Monogram kit. There us a issue with using the Warner Bros Road Runner image. EZ fix for aftermarket.

A nice clean build of one of my favorite Cup cars. I had a 'IN' in NASCAR during that era and Penske/Bobby was a Fav! So much so I bought a real 74 Matador coupe later on. The kit is a little simple. I have used the 90's era AMT Thunderbird chassis under mine and it works well with mods. Well done.... My 1/1 Mat....next project!

That looks like a real car!!! I have that kit.....if I ever get to it. I did build two of the 1/24 versions.....cool car...well done!
