Deb's closed in about 2002 or so when the owner died. The list of hobby shops in Charlotte no longer there is very long........ Science Hobby, Modelers Hobby, Trains LTR, two Hobbytowns, Whistle stop Hobby, Toy Circus, Toy Castle, a few others and 2 in Monroe and two in Gastonia....all gone. Sad.

A bit off topic....but I lived in Mint Hill 1979 - 2002 near that store........ I worked at Deb's Model Car Emporium if you are that old!!!

They are a matte aluminum right now....and plan to leave them as such for now.....thx

Pre Revell new tool plastic body.......

I have owned this Mustang since Jan 1975. It was my daily driver until late 1980's when the clutch went out. The car was taken apart with plans for a full on restoration. But kids, life, work and things got in the way. Then caught in a flood during hurricane Danny the car sat until last Sept when we decided to sell it or restore her...... She came home last Friday....still little detail things to do...but up and running again.......thx

Better late than never!!!!! I did these a while back for Gofer Racing decals.......might work well.....

I could care less he does it....wish I didn't have to wade through his listings.

Gasser wagon????? GREAT marketing......and getting the most for your tooling cost from the wagon......Plus many will buy the gasser for parts when they'd not buy the wagon.......perfect from a biz perspective!!!

Converting a Circus/Dragon Wagon back to hangman has one issue.......the missing cab roof. And it's so oddly shaped a tough one to scratchbuild. I supplied my vintage Dragon kit to Revell so they could clone it.

Not all Revell's fault. B o s c h is difficult to work with....wanting big bucks. Other can be the same. MANY companies still look at copyright protection as a profit center.

Per Revell the Vette and 70 Charger are both NEW tools!!! The 57 Ford will have lots f gasser goodies like straight axle etc.

BOSS!!!!!

How about a Land Rover reissue now????? A one time kit.....

I think you are right.....the Monogram was yellow on the box and had the same 'add on' that glued to the trunk area. May have been 'Hatch-something......any rate retooled a number of times...

I'd buy the TD Vette too......but fear it is lost by being retooled many times......Vette Van was the first IIRC...

Wish they'd dip into other Tom Daniel design kits that have not been done in years...... Rat Vega, Posion Pinto, Honest Engine, Unreel Roller, Trick T etc etc Like to see the old grille done for the Ramcharger.....this was a good ole truck....shouldn't have sold it.

The Bronco like 2 door early SUV.....I had a 1/1 and was a great truck.

After watching the NHRA from LV this weekend and seeing te new/current PS cars.......I like this build even more!!

I'll get at least one each but the Nova.......the Vette MAY be new body on the old racing chassis.....just thinking.

Saw the real thing in So Cal a few years ago......A big vehicle......I have the 1/72 kit too.....should do a detailed build.

They're out there.....even really nice brand new units are made!!! But it's not just that simple.....46 Bumpers are different.....I'd use a set of 47-48 w/o issue.....but then you need brackets, splash pans and you need to be willing to alter the body work on the car now. All this will come some day....right now I am finishing up my 66 Mustang 2+2 full modified restore.....one project at a time!!

WOW!! I had looked at a few sedans and even four doors.....but none were very nice....I LIKE yours!! Wish mine had bumpers. Both car and model cool!

Road Atlanta for sure........we ran there about six times during our SCCA racing days......we had a Holman Moody built Datsun 260Z......we never won there....but beat Paul Newman in a close race one year!! Built a few of these kits....need to photo them!!! will be watching!

Remember that's just my OPINION.......I have not entered a decree or edict. I COULD NOT PAY FULL PRICE.....and didn't because I waited. That's all......not put those down that paid full or mORE........Just my OPINION. Deep breaths....

I have a few....and they are nice......but all bought 2nd had as I was never able to justify the cost new. At 50% or more I paid....worth it.
