No tooling changes were made in this re-issue....just new box and decals....which are great! The instructions are a repro of the first issue of the kit...so thats why some decals may not match...but I like the repro instructions and the new decals are much better than the old. Good stuff!

Test Shot Pics & Review - Revell 1958 Chevy Impala Hardtop
Dave Van replied to MrObsessive's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Thanks for the imfo....gonna build me a AG car at last! -
I'm going......been going since 1983....did miss 1986 when my son was due that week....wife said I could not go.....I don't know why? In 83 I and my buddy went. by 1989 we had to rent a RV to get everyone from our club in Charlotte to Toledo. Now I am the only one still going. There is a IPMS regional near me I was tempted to go to but Toledo still calls me!

Dave Van replied to Privateer's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
AMT sold the JoHan 71-74 Javelin in stock and Trans Am racer. -
Really nice. I have a planned bone stock version as a race car hauler.

Advertising folks can’t see the forest for the trees. My favorite advertising goof was back in the mid 1970's NCNB, now known as BoA, ran commercials with Slim Pickens playing the same character he had just played in ‘Blazing Saddles’. Did these folks SEE the movie? Slim played a idiot racist in the movie! I loved the commercials...partly because I loved the movie, partly because of the total lack of brains on the advertising folks!

Model King 75 Laguna stock car box art
Dave Van replied to S. Svendsen's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I need to add something here. I thank Burket and Sean for allowing me to help out. The small group we have that help turn out these kits is great to work with. Dave Burket is of corse the ‘King’ pin of all this ...without Dave the hobby would be a lot less fun. Sean is a great model builder and graphics guy. I just have fun adding a few things to make lots of options for the builder. Thanks Dave, Sean and the whole ‘Pit crew’ that work on these neat kits! -
Fantastic!! What a little work can do!
-
Neat stuff.....do you know what that last one is?? A ride or??? I saw at MGM years ago, a set, which was a big diorama, from Burton's 'Nightmare before Christmas'....man what a neat set!!! Thanks
-
I'd like to see them. I am a Disney fan, growing up near Disneyland. I also build dioramas so sound like great stuff!!
-
JACKIE!!!! That GMC motor home is killing me!! I'd never even thought of that one! I have a Hess GMC that's missing a door....I hope some day it will look as good as yours!! That and a AMC on the same post!!! :rolleyes:

There have been rumors of a new kit from Gary for a long time. I don't think we will ever see it. I don't know if Gary has made his money back on the Chevy yet. Tough biz! Even AM, which has a good size catalog is having a hard time tolling anything new.

1978 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Landaulet - Trumpeter Kit
Dave Van replied to PeterLepold's topic in Model Cars
Great work on a kit I will NEVER understand....and now it looks as if Trumpeter is going to give up the US car model market......Like Bob said...think of what would have happened if they did even a Malibu....Stock, drag and NASCAR builders would have bought. -
Thanks for that info Dave. From the photos of this years ALMS cars some decal work is the biggest part of the project. I can handle that as long as the ALPS don't break!!! Thanks again!!!
-
Got my kit today....these are BIG cars!! Just happy to have a new road racer model. How much difference is there between the LM car as the kit is shown and the ALMS version we see stateside. I am goning through pics....but I know someone out there has looked already!!
-
Nice work!! Decent kit for what it is!
-
I did the masters for the kit and sold them under Penngwen brand. I hope my son will soon restart the biz full time. Back in the day we did the Merkur IMSA and T/A conversion kits.
-
Hard to beat a box stock super clean build!!!!
-
I ran a batch a few years ago. Still have a few on hand. If I can sell out I can move to the next kit! thanks!!
-
Looks GREAT! I built one, decent kit...but more than 4 days!
-
Thanks for the info guys....I will check with these vendors...I don't think I can wait until Atlanta! I might do some decals for it if I can get one. ( any ideas????) ....one more IMSA build....my 1989 IMSA Nissan 300ZX....
-
VERY nice work!!! Are they still available??? I need one BAD!! I love IMSA and T/A cars......I had heard someone was going to do a Jag but never saw anything on it..... This is my Roush Cougar....I wanted to make a curbside resin kit for it but the sales of resin kits, mine anyway, are too slow to pour new molds right now. Sorry for the ###### pic...it was taken in the early days og dig cam and I ain't taken another. Roush 89 Cougar...again sorry about the pic And a group shot at Atlanta NNL...... Any info on a Jag would be GREAT!! Thanks
