  1. WOW!!! Nice work....being a model railroader a added plus!
  2. Pretty cool.....last arm of AMC
  3. I don't know that one.......but good photo of Frank's Charger!
  4. These decals were in the Model King kit.....My art too....
  5. Very cool collection!!! I recognize a few decals
  6. Kool!! At one time at Universal Studios Fla they had a display of some airplane turned Mad Max vehicles from a movie made but never released.....much like yours!
  7. WOW! I got to help out on those kits....all that foil work is not easy!!!!
  8. Yep....I am 2nd owner of her. I have everything....even the service card. First owner took great care of her....I am too. Never wrecked or damaged. Original interior. thx
  9. No...this one..... But owning a 73 I like them all!!!
  10. I was thinking Penske red white and blue......but that works.....we need a few Javelin kits made.
  11. Dave Burkett spent a lot of money restoring molds during the RC2 era. I helped on a number of them. The NASCAR 72 Monte Carlo required a new body mold. I sent a mint body to China and they cloned it along with a few other missing parts. I do not know what these two funny cars needed at the time....it may have been a lot....why we have not seen them.
  12. I've told Ed Sexton a few times they need to tool a 72 Sportsroof body and issue it as Clint's green version....let them know!!!!
  13. Neither of these happened after the ownership change at R2 (RC2) R2 does not allow private issues any longer......
  14. Changing the wheels and tires really helped. Nice work. Dad knew TV Tommy through his job with Valvoline racing oil in So Cal 1960's. Only race driver that ever impressed my Mom!!!
  15. FYI the WB of the Revell Torino and the JoHan 72 is different. Not sure why....did not check which is correct. This is a MPC stock car body on a junker JoHan promo chassis.....inspired by Clint's....
  16. Thanks....brain cramp....I have a sell sheet around here somewhere....
  17. That is really cool!!!!!!!
  18. When I did a lot of contest judging neatness was a major factor.....a messy high detailed model would loose out to a model that was super neat with basic added detail.......yours is what I looked for. Nice work. I was lucky enough to provide some input on this re-issue....happy to see it built.
  19. R&D work was done and kit announced by the company that imported Aorshima kits and offered tires too......the name I can't recall right now....CRS. Needless to say it never happened.
  20. Nice & neat!
  21. Cool...reminds me of Honest Engine Tom Daniel design!
  22. Your interior work is great. I may like this kit much more than the average modeler. I wanted one the first time I saw it on the original TV show. It was a long wait but happy it finally got here. Revell did a decent job on the kit......somewhere between a high detail kit and a die cast (rumored for years) I built the 'tomato' the first day I got my hands on it. Second build was a Bill Elliott NASCAR version. I have a few more builds planned......
