My buddy and I are starting a project to kinda honor Norm. He is building a 'My Mother the car' Which was Norm's and I am building a 'original' version of the Phaeton. We are just starting the project, getting kits and parts together.

A tough road ahead....but I wish you well.

Seemed to be a real gentleman...RIP

Get it back on track and I'll support.

Things are in the works.......but it is going to be slow. Each project must pay for itself before the next....so BUY!

I called on the phone the day before they shut and they took my money with a smile.......wrong no matter who or what 'computer'.......this from a retired Sr Computer System Analyst......thx

Thanks!

I have the 1/12 Tamiya....wonder why they skipped a 1/20??? I do have a resin white metal BT-44 but a few plastic kits be nice!

Google 'Gofer Racing decals' they make a wide variety of decals. I did the art for most of them and they are screen printed real decals.

I am not SCREWING TD out of anything. Monogram has done these kits in the past....he was paid for them already. If the, Revell, use his name and design...they must pay. If they alter the kit and call it something else and DO NOT use his name THAT'S business. Alter something you have paid for ....you now own THAT. What's amazing is the number of sheep in this country....THAT'S AMAZING!!!!

'Coming in HOT' never ends well........this came out OK!

Pilot error bottom line. DE Jr is Blessed.....

The chrome emblems????? I have a ALPS that is still limping along.....it can print actual chrome foil.

I said include the Baja parts......2 in 1........it's all a daydream anyway!!!!

I suggested just issuing it as 'Firebomb' which they could include the 'Baja' parts and make it a 2 in 1 kit!!!!!

Agreed.....and I made custom chrome Sebring logos for it.....but on that light blue...hard to see!

Kinda liking the new look!

My build was inspired by this car from the real 'Gone in 60 seconds'. I do not like the vinyl top....but now that the kit is coming back I may build it too......

I look forward to the reissue with new parts.....I like the kit.

You communicate better than I......I have dealt with Kalmvach since 1972.......and I was mad because it's like a good friend screwing you over for a few bucks......bad taste is right. Thanks

The buck stops at Kalmbach....the end. 3rd party...4th or 5th......I don't care. Kalmbach is ultimately responsible. Why would I have inside info??? The only connection to Kalmbach other than a few magazine subscriptions was a review of my resin Merkur kit by Terry Jessie years ago. Plus if I'm an insider I sure would not hand them money the day before they shut!!!

I've written it 3 times....and I know it's in Hill Billy....BUT....SA(E) was a shadow of the Schimt era. So not a huge loss. I WAS MAD THAT HEY TAKE MONEY FROM ME THE DAY BEFORE THEY SHUT.......KNOWING THEY ARE DOING SO....AND 3-4 weeks to get my money??? READ my hill billy typing.....I've said it as clear as I can. thx

CORRECT...I still have a few from Woolco!

AHM, best known for their model trains in O, HO and N scales, also re-boxed Revell kits at times. I have a Revell Meter Cheater in a AHM box I bought at Woolco for 99 cents.

Oh....I got a old of them. Being a retired bank analyst...in the end I'd get my money not matter what. How about this. I could just call my CC company and instant I get the charge removed. But I gave Kalmbach a chance before I go nuclear. They say a CC refund will be processed later this month and then show up a few weeks later on my account. OK....I'll try this way. But in the end I get my way. If a bank took 3-4 week to clear your pay check....you might not be happy either. With no magazine....all they have i service and it's just OK.....not great.
