Are those hub caps used on the 1973 Mustang in the real 'Gone in 60 seconds'??? In the scene before the jump you get a close up of a locked up wheel......looks like this one.

Round2 Kat's Kollection - New Series
Dave Van replied to Casey's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I agree Tom.....I have worked in small ways with both Tom and John and overall think they have done a GREAT job with what they have. As for this kit being the flagship of a new line....not so much. Maybe a reissue of the Barris Paddy Wagon....90% of the tooling is in other kits......can't be that much to restore. THAT would be a flagship kit for a new line. I fully understand the challenges of this hobby as a business. A retire Sr Analyst for a top 5 worldwide bank...I tend to analyze EVERYTHING. And working in this hobby for 35+ years now....I see both sides. Let's hope this is just a starter kit and big things are coming. -
About as good as that kit gets. Nice

Round2 Kat's Kollection - New Series

FYI ....Revell has the US license for Star Wars and has for many years. -
Very cool!!! We owned a 1/1 US version....which as noted is a very different car than the model is.We put about 80K on it and gave it to our daughter who still loves it. It is one of the most unusual cars made....Fantastic room inside.

Round2 Kat's Kollection - New Series
Dave Van replied to Casey's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Overall I like what R2 is doing and has done. But you can still find thee pretty easy.....and it was not that great when it first came out. Give me a ZZR in classic box with new pad printed tires and I'll pay $35 without blinking..... -

I'm in on all of those 70's era cars

I have the 1/29 scale PCC trolley, which is still run i some places. It is large enough to pass for 1/25 easy. These are out of production right now but still can be found. I got mine when the manufacture dumped them for $120....well worth it at that price. These are made by Aristo Craft. Bachmann makes a 1/29 scale Peter Witt trolley which is 1950's to present. It can be found under $200. A 1/25 or so trolley is a BIG model so all will be well over $100 no matter what.
