1975 Jorgensen Eagle - Bobby Unser

Maybe some of the limited Indy kits will only be at Salvinos but a few are listed as coming soon on hobby retail websites.....so who knows. And yes $80 is too much. But if they did a Indy 70's era McLaren and it was right....I'd have to have one to go with my 70's era F1 collection. Thx -

Nice work on all the builds. If Salvins wants me to pay $80 on a indy car kit.....make cars of this era!!!! -

Atlantis Models has bought another lot of tooling/molds.....
Dave Van replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
That is a surprise.......as stated Revell had that tooling (Cop Out) recently. Both these kits are the same other than bodies and decals. Wonder if they will get the OK for the Hot Wheels logos?? -

The powers that be want everyone to move to a Facebook version of the site. I do not do Facejunk so a huge loss. Been there from the start. SAD

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.

GOOD....I got one mail order and want another now!!! Thx

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!

Nice clean work! I am building this kit now as a scale version of my real GT350R tribute. Hope it comes out as well.
