Good stuff....... Baja Bronco......Look at the trees on the stock kit. No inside here......but I always saw a Big Oly type wing in that empty spot on the chrome tree. I doubt it would be a Big Oly because nothing from the stock kit to make a 100% accurate Oly. I think Revell will give you some key parts and how far you go is up to you. I look forward to it.....or seeing what it is.

I have decided to build many of the 1988 NASCAR Winston Cup series cars. I call it Project '88. I picked 88 for a number of reasons....most obvious is all the bodies were made in plastic!! I hope to build 20+ of the cars that year....split between the famous and the unknown. Rusty Wallace Pontiac is number one. Box stock other than added package shelf. Penngwen Hobbies decals, Tamiya and Dupli-color paints. DNL tire transfers. Thanks

Reported on other forums it is again cancelled......

A decent little kit. 1/24 scale if that's an issue. I've built a few of them....and bought a few DONK issues just for parts.....at $8 each. No issues building....Normal 80's era Monogram kit.

We just need to stay on Mr Ed!!!!!!

Guy across the street when I was in HS bought a new LTD II just like the one above. I LOVED that car.....thought it was so cool. I've been hitting up Revell for a 77 Thunderbird in the style of the 77 Monte Carlo kit.....I think it would be as popular and a sales hit.

I'd like to see a 77 LTD II Sport myself....the 4 door is cool too.....

More WOW

Nice work!!!! RM needs to tool that body for their 70 Torino kit.....

Pretty sure Cady did them......

GREAT WORK!!!

Our hobby shop was open on Sunday's back during the boom as we had good sales during races. When JD McDuffie was killed at Watkins Glen I was working......I went and pulled all the JNJ decals and the two built up kits we had for sale along with a few die cast.......within minutes we had a stream of customers looking for JD stuff........it got so bad we started calling these customers 'Dead Guy Stuff Hunters' ...... I am working on three Cup kits right now filling holes in the collection of cars important to me.......

My two lots I sold were NO NASCAR too!!! A little insight. The NASCAR kits are great kits. The Monogram kits are some of the best of the era. BUT...the kits were produced by the millions. When I ran a hobby shop in Charlotte every Monday we would order 3-4 cases of Monogram #2900.....DE Sr Monte Carlo kits. Model builders alone were not buying this many kits.....EVERYONE was buying kits. After a good race Sunday.....mom's and grandma's would come in and buy a few kits. Closets were filled with NASCAR sealed kits. It's just supply and demand. I was involved in the NASCAR plastic kit biz during the boom era. And thus want to have a mint sample of all the kits made. I found I needed 3 sealed kits to fill in the collection....all three were found for $5 each....and I was happy!! I still like these kits and they represent a great time in my life.....but there are just too many to make them valuable.

Good luck Mike.....in collection sales and in general........ Wayne....pretty sure I have every issue of Scale Wheels....it was a good effort. I was not a founding member as at the time I had 3 kids, house and two cars and only I worked......$5 was a lot of cash at the time!!! But Bruce P. Scott A. and many other folks were fellow Charlotte modelers. Thanks

They will get it......their \pipeline' is also kinda slow......but HL is the closet place to me for hobby supplies.....so I like them!!

Hobby Lobby is pretty far down the shipping order at Revell......I am sure they want a bigger discount......

out now......

Very cool!!! Great weathering........looks like something I'd see on Breaking Bad!!!

MK Plymouth still coming....but you have to sell stuff to fund stuff.....

Not to get to off topic....... Road Knights started as a formal meeting that grew out of the Friday night model talk at a toy and hobby shop my buddy ran, Toy Circus at Park Road shopping center. At one time we had about 100 members, hosted two national conventions 1990 and 1992. A great club for many years....... $5 each for modern common kits to a local would be a good deal I think.....as long as you don't have a bunch of 18 wheeler trucks or rare stuff. You tube of our 1990 convention.....https://youtu.be/Xvm8oOlJQOc

Very nice work!!

I sold two lots to a collection buyer in 2016.......about 1000 kits per lot. I got about $4 per kit....all kits were 100% complete....about 50% sealed. When you look at how much work and fees selling on ebay.....I felt like a good deal. Good luck....... BTW I lived in Charlotte for many years.......you every a Road Knights member??

Yep....project #773........

Wish it was a hard top rather than soft...but like the 56 Ford....I'll pick one up.

I use white glue, gorilla glue and epoxy in that order when using any wood during building.....mostly on structures in O scale.
