  1. The only Testors item I have used in the last 20 years was Lacquer clear flat......they discontinued it during the last cut.....no impact here.
  2. Nice clean build!!! Wish they would reissue the other versions!
  3. If you can email a copy that would be great. Thanks
  4. Waiting for first complaint about COKE kits!!!!!!The Batmobile is ex Revell. R2 bought all the Revell Batman tooling.
  5. Willy T!!!! I liked Willy. Back in the day Charlotte Motor Speedway brought Willyin to drive a NASCAR Cup car in the 600. I worked the races at CMS back then and met Ribbs. He had a little too much fun, got 2 DUI's and did not get to drive. But he wasn't boring!!!
  6. I just got the 7-11 Gloy kit from them. Modelhaus or better casting, great decals. Well worth it to me!!!
  7. Monogram did two different schemes on both kits. The GTX was done in FORD and Miller Beer. The GTP was done in FORD and 7-11. Indycals does all the decals now. The kits show up on ebay....price depends on whos lookin!!!! Thanks
  8. Both of those 'Mustang' kits are standalone kits and were never modified into anything else. They should exist somewhere.......not sure where. I love the kits......it's rare we get GTP and GTX type kits of any car. These were both partly funded by FORD! My builds....Great kits BTW
  9. With the better tires by Atlantis makes it a little better kit.
  10. I got jumped on for asking if COP was the issue.......Seem some wanted to go MUCH further!!!!
  11. That model of Torino has the same roof as the MPC 70/71 Mercury Montego kit. You could combine the Revell Torino and MPC Montego to get the correct body. (R2 Allison NASCAR kit was out recently) At one time the body was offered in resin as a number of NASCAR team liked it better than the 'fastback' Revell kit. Good luck!
  12. WELL DONE! I love that series of kits!
  13. While the IMSA versions were updated to the Trans Am versions.....nothing in the original kits were permanently altered. Add on parts were made to the old kits to accept the new Mustang and Camaro bodies. I'd hope all the inserts are still around. Not that I need more of these kits....I made conversion kits that used the Mustang kit as a base and others ae making bodies too. Thanks Original IMSA kit SCCA UPDATE My Merkur conversion body
  14. If you are old enough to recall Paul Harvey.........'Now you know the rest of the story'......... But when it comes to business the story often remains untold. During my years doing NASCAR licensing I saw first hand many things that would make great stories......IF I outlive all parties I can tell them.....but not right now!!!! ?
  15. The only constant......CHANGE!!!! 10 years ago offshore was the solution.....now So Cal is viable!!!!
  16. Tooled in USA....so at least Salvinos is proving it can be done (Atlantis too but more running less tooling)
  17. TD said only it had to do with BAJA BANDITO and the new owners at Revell.....no other details.
  18. TD said the split was ugly.......just wondered if COP might set some off.......
  19. No more Tom Daniels or is it the word 'COP' is triggering????
  20. That's my method of choice
  21. Blue plastic is second only to red..........?
  22. The 1/12 Lotus 99T is very cool......but doubt I get through the stack of 1/12 kits on hand now..........
  23. We need photos!!!!! PLEZ!!!!
  24. If I NEEDED them ASAP I'd do the same. But my LHS offers them at a discount and NO shipping.....so I'll wait. Now if it was a Mustang.......different story!!!?
