Tom Daniels Baja Beast
Dave Van replied to TonyW's topic in All The Rest: Motorcycles, Aviation, Military, Sci-Fi, Figures
I like Tom Daniel.......And no disrespect to him......but from what I understand TD did not have anything to do with 'FIREBOMB'. It was a Monogram attempt to get more mileage out of a TD tool. So reissue the Firebomb and allow folks at home NOT use the fire truck parts. I have a decent build up of a Firebomb but want a kit to build! I think the same can be said for the VANAMBULANCE kit too. -
Now reported as fake news?!?!?!?!?

Tom Daniels Baja Beast

First RM said they were slow walking the WV license paperwork. Then they got into a fight with Tom Daniel over his license fee and the two split ways, TD saying there would never be a Revell TD kit again. So if you want Baja or the Baja based Fire trucker.....find one!!! -
The only constant is change!!!!! But I understand. Building since 1961 I recall kits at Pick N Save were 99 cents. K Mart had current kits at $1.38!! It is knda hard to pay $36 for a kit pretty much unchanged since it was $1.38!!!! If it was inflation alone a kit should cost around $13........so the $36 is a reflection of how much smaller the market is today vs 1961. Still a cheaper hobby than many. My O scale trains have gone up a HUGE amount with locomotives crossing the $2000 line!!!

1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe 1/24 scale Monogram
Dave Van replied to polybius's topic in Model Cars
That is a great little kit. It was kinda a pet project between Ford and then Product Manager at Monogram. Your work shows off the detail well.......and neat and clean build. I have a mint kit want to build stock, here is one with AERO...... Hope you do not mind but my 35 year old build not as well detailed yours!!!!! Thanks -
Nice work! Love TV vehicles!

Parnelli Jones 1967 Cougar Trans Am.
Dave Van replied to mark 23's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Did you miss the announcement?????? LOL.....nice work really. But if I spent the time and money.....a kit will follow!!! -
I got the older Revell/Monogram 66 Hertz Mustang rent a racer kit for $14.99. I thought it was old stock but box side had been updated to RoG with call out for Revell paints and glue......so they must be running some of the older tools with a $24 MSRP. A good deal as you can't have to many Mustangs!!! I need to build this one....................

Krylon Short Cut spray paint question
Dave Van replied to thatz4u's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
If someone does not have one....find one!!!!! I bought mine 25 yeas ago at Big Lots for $10.....best hobby investment I ever made. I even have a back up unit I found at a yard sale for $3!!! You can still find a basic unit for less than the MSRP of a current model kit. -

Krylon Short Cut spray paint question
Dave Van replied to thatz4u's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Use a dehydrator to speed up drying and give a hard finish. -
I bought that kit from Jimmy the first time he set up a Toledo NLL meet. I cleaned up the little bit it needed then stopped, waiting on the decals that were not printed yet. (Jimmy sent them later) Stalled ever since. Yours looks great!!!
