Agree.....doubt any tooling was done for a die cast....but I bet some planning was done toward it back in the day. thx

thank you....yes! can we see the hood hinge set up and decals??? plez!

A long time ago when this kit was announced I thought it may have had it's roots in the die cast world. Even if it was only an idea during that period Revell was doing so many TV and movie related vehicles. Revell's 58 Chevy comes to mind. I always felt it was going to be in the American Graffiti line as Steve/Toad car. I myself can't wait to see and buy my own copies. BTW yor pics are not working for me.

I love my 'looser' AMC car........How many car shows do I go to and NOT see look-a-likes??? Anytime someone needs a 1/1 to do scale drawings......come on down!!!!!

That is a HOT topic in the model railroad world. I HATE graffiti so in the little world I control I have NONE!!!! Too clean??? Yep I weather them too......

Well since you asked...........( i wasn't on my home PC really) Top - 86 foot Auto Parts carrier. Thrall well Intermodal car Same car finished with my decals. I worked for First Union at one time....so model their cars. Also some wooded older cars.....(wood cars made from plastic.....)

Very nice work!!!! I model O scale too and build my own cars too.

Nice finish and stance.....

Revell will SHOW them at Toledo.........for sale DEC

Not with any AMT KIT........same era....same idea....very different kit.

One of the kits Revell did during an era that was less than great. This kit shared 99% with a like Chevy. VERY simple and somewhat generic details. Like the Mustang/Capri kit of the same era.....better kits out there. MIGHT be a OK start to a full on IMSA racer.......but lots of work needed.

All fun!!! A Matador is..........different.....and I'm, as my wife says, am different.....perfect fit!

Endorsed by many of the worlds Hudson experts.....Moebius' 52-53 Hornet. I took late test shots to the International HET meet and had experts from all over the world look at the kits. Got about a 100% thumbs up on them for accuracy. I, along with a number of HET club members, have built a good number of the kits. Fit, finish and accuracy are tops. Dis-claimer....I have helped out on the Hudson and other Moebius kits.....but worked with RM and RC2 and feel I am being even handed.

Is that the pre-built RPG that goes for around $60??? Saw one at a hobby shop....looked cool. NICE mods!

Dupli-color sealer (#1699) and Tamiya primer. The Dupli-color is like a scale primer.....and I buy the BIG can locally for less than $4 and it works great for me.

I sold over 2500 kits this year.....NEED little......

No slam on the show as it is today......the only constant is change. In the old days I'd take a big wad of cash....and then try and fit it all in my car for the 10 hour drive home. Last year I bought one model.......but I went to see folks...which I did....same plan this year,,,

Great ideas and craftsmanship.......

I plan on being there......easy to spot.....I'm in the black wheelchair!

It was more difficult to get it to run well than any Tamiya R/C kit I every built....but it's working fine now....and yes beats finger spinning bits!

Watch that!!!! As the 2nd owner of a 74 Matador coupe I think they look good....even my stock 34K miles one!! Where did you see thus one????? I have seen it in show coverage for years. My 74 coupe will be heading to the shop soon for some work....though not that radical!!

GREAT start!

Tamiya semi-gloss black or Dupli-color semi gloss

Voting often does not work. RC2 tried it and the lunatic fringe skewed the results. Write R2, Revell and Moebius and let them know what you want. I have a copy of a letter I sent to Monogram in 1985. Of my list of ten all new kits....6 were made before the Revell buy out. Let them know!

26 Morgan Plus 8's heading North on US219 outside Lewisburg WV. I was driving South so no pics.......and I poked around the net to see it there was a meet in the area....thinking Snowshoe ski resort as car and bike clubs often meet there. No news of a meet anywhere....so not sure what it was. I'd like to see them stopped....one had the WILD air dam and wheel flares. Cool cars....looked like fun too!
