  1. I've built that kit showroom stock and the soft top version as a street rod. Looks like a good start......good luck!
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. All functions working here......many thanks to all!!!
  5. Nothing new Lewisburg WV 11/21
  6. You have killed my desire to build this one!!!! I can't even get close to your work!!! Unreal work!!! I will follow you Caddy after you finish it in my Plowboy..............
  7. Really well done! May pick it up. I have the Revell 1/200 twin kit too. Wonder if Atlantis has it??
  8. Thanks for update!! I see we still have page issue and like issue. I tried MS browser w/o issue. but will not use it for a number of reasons.
  9. Very nice save on that one. I bought that kit back when it came out, I too saw it was nothing like the movie car. I just gave up and built it as a 'tuna' street car. It is such a odd kit for AMT.....nothing like anything they did before or after. Here is mine, hope you don't mind. thx BTW I bought the Fujimi EVO kit too yet to build
  10. I have known Jack Higgins since the 80's when he started JNJ Decals. If you built NASCAR kits you know. I hope they do well.
  11. I am building this for my O scale train layout. Scratchbuilt from Plastruct materials, The complex will have about 10 models I will build on my bench then transfer them to the layout. Thanks for looking!!!
  12. I do not have that kit....but the Japnese 1/25 scale kits of that era I do have are 1/28 and battery op with clunky details. Never seen in that box
  13. While I do not understand the infatuation with this kit, other than being so rare, any new tooling is good thing. Why did they not use the new tool duster from a few years back?? Seems odd to start all over. I know that Duster had some window shape issue but do not recall major chassis/engine problems. Thanks
  14. $24 to send a kit to my buddy in So Cal.......
  15. Nothing new in Lewisburg WV when I went today.............. My WM had a new display though.........
  16. Nice Clean work!!! I've been to the Wood's shop many times. Great people!!!
  17. Yeo......I used them on my G&R build
  18. I made a short video of my train from the movie Silver Streak. It is O scale 3R. I custom paint it and made the decals to match the movie train which was a CP Rail train. Thanks!!
  19. My 1999 Concorde from a modified AMT snap kit.
  20. Nice work!! I am bias owning a 66 2+2 myself. I didn't even notice no master cyl!!!
  21. Love them Brabhams....well done
