Well done! That era is my favorite, I've built the 6 wheeler 3 times! -
The Monogram Petty version has them. Keith Marks had them at one time check with him.

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.

My favorite SW build. Scratchbuilt in 1/64 scale from photos in the movie prohram and the SW photo book. Only info out there at the time. Balsa frame with sheet plastic cover and lots of junk box parts!!! Only model I have won cash with. At a Sci-Fi contest long ago I won 1st place and a $100 dollar bill!!! Thx

Looks great.....but if it's north of $60usd I will buy a few of the old Revell Monogram kits. Previous ICM 1/24 kits were obtainable in the $30-40 range.

I have no ill will here. Before all this BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH happened I was emailing some of these Ukraine model companies showing how I converted some of their kits to civilian use. They were very nice people....even saying they hung some of my photos for insiration. The people are great. The situation is horrible and confusing. Thanks One of my conversions -

Dave Van replied to Matt Bacon's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Lionel trains, AC Gilbert and MARX all had to shut down toy production for the duration, as did many other small companies. Lionel was hired to make small die cast parts for planes.....but the only toys during the period were a paper train set'. Balsa was vital but also anything using hardwoods could not be made. I realize it's a different time and all..........but..... -
