Bet Ford will let them know. GM licensing does think the own everything.....IMHO only!
-
Never had anything I wanted....even with a 50% off coupon. Wife goes now and then.....but their stock was always poor.
-
I like this series......but I liked them when they were $15!! $50 is a bit steep....even $42 I'll have to think hard. As stated these kits have poor chassis, fair interior with generic dash, no detail just a decal. No engine. I wanted a few but may not.

Big Vintage Parts Sale - eBay
Dave Van replied to Mike999's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thanks for that!! I just used it and scored some resin I was looking at.......now a great deal! -
I have a Scalextric set I bought about 10 years ago when a hobby shop closed. I then added track and cars. The 1/32 cars are really nice. I PLAN on making a permanent set up in my hobby garage that folds out from the wall.

So i bought some Tamiya enamels off Ebay...
Dave Van replied to Monty's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I've gotten items in 10 days from China or HK. But MOST take much longer. And yes....tracking depends on whom used.....but I never get tracking into USA with Winit.....thx -

Tamiya1/18 Lola T-160 TS
Dave Van replied to mitchy's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Any one know why 1/18?? I understand 1/20 or 1/16 but 1/18 in the 1960's??? Nice work I'd find one if a scale I model. -
If I had enough interest in this I'd do the analysis myself. I headed up the due diligence team on some of the worlds largest bank mergers. But I invested a lot in two laser cutting machines to use in the model rail hobby. Thankfully I looked on it as my retirement 'hobby' expenditure. I have never made any money per the books....but lots of fun. Desk top injection looks like it may be the same. This was a laser project that I did sell copies of....but at around cost. thx
-
Interesting.......but even more questions. What does tooling cost on a mold this size??? Is there a tooling shop in the USA that can build these molds economically? What is the max OZ of each shot?? What does the injection machine cost?? What plastics can be used?? Their cost? Many more but unless these are all answered in a way to make it work on a model car level...it doesn't matter. But cool info.

Salvinos JR Monte Carlo
Dave Van replied to MG Brown's topic in WIP: Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
If the Salvino's MC looks that good I'll be OK....buy buy a number of them. -
Another fee for a different SKU....not worth the cost when R2 makes so many Coke decals in kits and standalone sets.

The Revell is not perfect.....but MUCH closer that the PHOTOS of the JR kit LOOK. The JR's front fenders, bumpers and the trunk and TV panel, along with roof, all LOOK funky to me even compared to the Revell. As I said....until I get one in hand.
