Atlantis Models has bought another lot of tooling/molds.....

Rattler is up for pre-order now at Atlantis -
AMT727 Koo-Koo-Kar… has it come yet?
Dave Van replied to funnycarfan's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The thing is R2 has the chassis tooling as they issued Cobra/Serpent kit which contains the same chassis as Stage. At this point....who knows. If Atlantis OR R2 has the majority of tooling I'd be more than happy to help in any way. I gave Monogram my dragon wagon to copy........done it with a few others......but I do not think any one is willing to chance it.....IE investing in a Stage kit. Thanks -

Dave Van replied to funnycarfan's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The Lindberg Bull Horn and the Serpent kits were all part of the 1/16 kits that all share a chassis. There are 4-5 different kits in the series. Decent kits really for their age. -

Koo Koo, Cashbox and the Pyro 1/16 Stage Ghost were all rumored.......wonder if we will see any of them. Stage is a grail. -

AMT727 Koo-Koo-Kar… has it come yet?
Dave Van replied to funnycarfan's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
@ $250 I may make my own. I did it with Yeller and Hot Dogger before they came back and I offered a Cashbox kit for a while!!! Thx -
AMT727 Koo-Koo-Kar… has it come yet?
Dave Van replied to funnycarfan's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Nope.....never happened. I think finding Hot dogger and a few other showrods at Ollies being dumped meant Koo Koo got cancelled. I'd buy a few if it happens.......Let Steve G or John know you want one!!!! thx -
My buddy in So Cal and I had a little contest to build a box art model. I picked the retooled AMT 1966 Mustang fastback. Box stock, Tamiya Bright Red can. I did change out the rear tires to AMT MH slicks. I also did change out the driver name decal to that of my friend Bill.....decal is in the kit!!! I found the kit body had a rough texture that took a lot of work to get decent. Decals are get but cut stripes to size BEFORE you apply as hey are nice and white but brittle......and I used 2 sets. Thanks

Gofer Gasser Decals, for real cars?
Dave Van replied to Roadrunner's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I did the artwork for Gofer and that sheet. All the names are inspired by real drag cars. Gofer owner and I came up with most of them during a lunch break one day. Thanks -

Testors reissues of Johan kits
Dave Van replied to bobthehobbyguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Testors leased the tooling. Okey Spalding has the AMX promo tolling still, or did when I did some decal work for him. I'd like to know where the 59 Rambler wagon and Turbine tooling ended up. Both were in good condition when last seen. -
Well done. Other than the etch in that kit it has been around maybe 60 years. Here is a box top from this same kit in the 70's era.....
