It's a old Revell tool that saw life as the CHiPs kit and others. IIRC it is related to this Camaro, which is a sorry kit.....semi snap.....but needs glue to hold it together..... -
PS i used fine sand in the bottom of the tank too!!!

I'll be near my Ollie's for Dr appt in morning....hope for a Lotus and Studie kit -
Not sure how to rate 3D weather it is scratch building or not??? Like many things lots of variables. I got this 1/48 O scale Cass RR passenger car this week. It is just flat prints and needs LOTS of details added. It is a basic body that will be a lot different when I finish it. Where 3D fits in?? Not sure yet!

Sounds like you did everything right. Good thing you were there. Thank God it ended as it did. -
If anyone is excited about the 1/20 scale Toyota reissue I accept thinks via Paypal!!!!!! I wanted this kit for many years. It always sold WAY above my comfort level. BUT one day I found one missing wheels and tires for $25!!! I bought it knowing I'd never see it cheap again. I then bought a Tamiya 1/20 Porsche kit, much cheaper and used the wheels and tires to cast all new wheels and tires for my Toyota....being to cheap to junk the Porsche kit !!! So I spent a lot of time and money on RTV and resin.......THAT made a reissue a for sure!!!! I'll get one for sure!!! Thanks

I've built that kit showroom stock and the soft top version as a street rod. Looks like a good start......good luck! -
How well I know!!! My original Monogram Dragon Wagon went to China so it could be cloned into reissue 'Circus Wagon'. So if you have one....it's a copy of mine!!! Old tooling, if salvageable, is still cheaper than a clone new tool. Issue comes in when the tooling is missing so much a new tool is cheaper. That is why old tooling is looked at.....IN HOPE it's usable.

I have no isea what is in store from this new JoHan. This I do know for fact. Okey never had the resources buy/fix/run the abandoned JoHan tooling that is out there. Accurate Miniatures looked at the tooling, both the JoHan airplane and automotive kits, Never able to make a deal that could work. Moebius looked at the same tooling and passed at the price offered. Again I have no idea what these guys will do....but do not hold your breath for what old JoHan tooling that is out there floating around. I worked for all the above when this went down. thx

All functions working here......many thanks to all!!!
