    All the 1/25-scale Revell ‘69 Camaro hardtop kits have the base interior. Probably easiest to start with the common Z/28 kit with the blue built up on the box. It’s built as a Rally Sort on the box, but the parts for the standard grille and taillights are included too.

    Hardtop and convertible annuals (and promos) both used the convertible interior bucket.

    The Lindberg kit was originally released by USAirfix. It has plastic tires. So does the Revell “Snap Kit.”

    Since 2012 or so, US Passat is completely different than the European Passat.

    Unfortunately, no kits of an ‘84 Trans Am like this were made. I was disappointed back then, and still am! MPC and Monogram did ‘82-83 and then ‘85. Revell did the ‘82-83, but the ‘83 was a Targa custom.

    The last couple issues of the 510 had a tire that was originally used in several Revell lowrider kits including the Chevy Citation, Fox-body Mustang, and ‘92 Cougar and Thunderbird.

    Congrats! Glad they went to a good home!

    Glad these cars went to a very good home!

    Yes, Ed Sexton brought this display to NNL Milwaukee yesterday.

    I've seen the Imperial, but still haven't spotted the AMT '60 Chevy Apache with the go-kart.

    Cool project. The Jo-Han Mercedes wheels look great on a hot rod!

    I do too. The tread is best not talked about, but the overall size and proportions are surprisingly good. Was playing with them on a ‘64 Impala, and think the resulting stance is cool.

    Yeah, was thinking it might include that Christmas Tree. The various MPC GTO kits had some neat drag stuff over the years, including a straight-axle front end. Kinda hoping they found some cool stuff in their collection of mold inserts and are doing some creative mixing and matching.

    I'm very curious to see what's going to be included in the '67 GTO. And really looking forward to the Schwinn Stingray!
  15. Don Sikora II
    Yes, that's the only issue of it. Mid Seventies.

    Think #2 are original-issue AMT ‘25T kit.

    Was in Racine, Wisconsin store on Monday and didn't see anything in the model aisle on clearance.

    He's a good guy, no worries!

    Model Empire in West Allis, Wisconsin, has a Tamiya rack in their store. Don't know if they will ship it, but you could call them and ask.

    Revell-Venice issued the Cadet kits in America with different box art and chrome parts around 1962.
  21. Don Sikora II
    The part probably wasn’t moved in the mold. My guess is that the shot was cut on opposite sides of the part in the two pictures.

    There are interchangeable inserts for the sedan roof so it can be set up "smooth" or with the open sunroof. The insert line is visible on the pink street machine and the later '60s beetle with the flower decals. Pretty sure the flares were added for the California Bug issue in the Seventies. The 'stock" wheels that can be on the chrome tree are deeper than the style that came unplated.

    Found the wheel back by chance today. It's in the Revell 1972 Cutlass Supreme custom (85-4275). Appears your piece is for the front of the car, part #75. The part has a thin rib on the side that locates against the outer wheel, so the sanding on your part probably removed that rib. Very surprised it's a Revell piece!

    That's a very nice build! Did the stock grille insert from the '67 Cyclone annual end up in the Fireball 500 Barracuda? If so, that's a great bit of trivia!

    I have an Airfix Quickbuild Beetle. Haven't tried to scale it out, but judging by the roof section it looks a bit bigger than the new-tool 1/24 Revell kit to me.
