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.....

Why do these photos remind me of old 'I saw a UFO' photos?!?!?!?!?! All these have been on the 'TO DO' list at Moebius for a while.

To me that is one of, if not the, greatest kits of all time. I am bias, I own 2 real AMCs and I had the kit when it was new. Dad came home from a meeting at Valvoline racing and handed me this kit. Your build looks GREAT!! The real car , to me, is as good as any MOPAR mid-size. Again...NICE work.

Hot Rod Garage is rebuilding her right now....why I got model out of storage! Thx
-
I have a number of built models in storage in my basement, many not seen since I moved in 2002. I pull one out now and then, clean them and put them on display This is a replica of Project X and the version of the car in the film Hollywood Knights'. I knw it is not 100% for either car....but early 1990's it's what I had!!! Thanks

I have all these Revell Corvair powered Renault based showrod kits. This is the 2nd finished. MRC wheels and tires, Tamiya French Blue. I made the flowers as the kit flowers were just small circles. Slight mod to chassis to look better. Thanks

what is Tamiya TS-65 pearl clear used for?
Dave Van replied to drugsarebad420's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Tamiya pearl over gloss white. Note difference between body and roof. NOT a huge difference....I like it. -
As a owner of a real 1966 Mustang fastback I was thrilled to see the return of this kit. I bought 3 right off the bat. Overall it's the old coupe tooling with new interior, body and hood and some wheels. After I did normal prep of mold lines and flash, I shot some Tamiya white primer on the body. I then noticed the body had a rough texture to it. The side were bad, upper surfaces not so bad. It took 3 prime, wet to get a just OK surface to paint. I then used a entire new can of Tamiya bright red just for the body....still not 100% but I am moving on. Anyone else have one of these kits with rough surface or did I get a run before they finish polished the tooling. Thanks

"A Certain T" kit bashed and scratch built knockoff of the Uncertain T
Dave Van replied to magicmustang's topic in Model Cars
That came out well!!!! I always thought that kit looked likw U T!! COOL! -
Always enjoyed his work......RIP

I've built a few of these AMT Gremlins..... IMHO the chassis is way to narrow and I add strip plastic to each side along the door sills. I also grind off pin marks on the top of the chassis to allow the interior to sit correct. I'll be watching....good luck! BTW AMC cars for this era were not junk. Because they were at the bottom of the price for a car they were treated like trash. I own two AMC's from this era. BOTH cars I am the 2nd owner and the cars were well cared for. GREAT cars really!!!
