  1. We called them "Indy 10 spokes" but I don't have a clue who made them. I need 4 in 1/25 scale. Resin or kit source ? indy 10 spoke.php
  2. R&R, still listed at Resin Realm under star models.
  3. I find it funny that about 50% of us look forward to whats getting reissued by Round 2, and the other 50% complain that all we get from Round 2 is reissues. I think there's some good stuff yet to be found.
  4. It's a lot like the real car hobby, some people cut up cars that others would build, but that one that gets parted may save 4 or 5 others.
  5. I started building one a while back, I'll start a build thread after Christmas. AMT 55 sedan, Revell 56 chassis, Revell big block and 4 speed from the 68 'Vette street machine kit, and I'll scratch build the axle.
  6. Only for us sneaky types, the "look at me" guys loved the noise.
  7. I'm in for at least one.
  8. Those Corvairs need to have the rear panels black from oil and a big puddle under them to look like the ones I remember.
  9. It takes one BAD car to outrun a stock bike, just sayi'n.......
  10. Beating a bike that small is no big deal.
  11. The dang things should just be outlawed as far as I'm concerned. http://www.wdrb.com/story/29650818/hillview-man-arrested-for-shooting-down-drone-cites-right-to-privacy
  12. The same thing happens in the 1:1 car world too. Good solid restorable cars are worth more as parts. And thats how they are sold, whats left gets crushed.
  13. The body and grille in that kit were worse than the old AMT kit, but a Motion 427 version soon.
  14. Yes, I was assuming, because they seem to be setting on the hobby shop shelves and aren't plentiful on the contest tables. I haven't heard any numbers from Revell.
  15. Anyone can ask whatever they want, and anyone can bid or pass, pay only what you're willing to spend and don't cry if someone else bids more. You can always make an offer if something isn't getting any bids.
  16. I personally thought that the 70 Hemi Cuda was the number 1 overlooked best seller kit that could be tooled, but I don't think sells were anywhere near expected levels. Maybe that's why we haven't seen a modified reissue.
  17. Thank you for a voice of reason in todays world.
  18. As a side note on AMT / MPC kits, I was at my LHS a few days ago and the owner told me that if I wanted a Dukes Charger I should get one now as the flag was soon to be deleted. Just a heads up.
  19. The best 57 Chevy hardtop body is in the Revell snap kit.
  20. My boss has a real one, after seeing it I could never build an AMT 40 Ford Sedan delivery without doing some major bodywork, this kit is WAY wrong.
  21. The new tool 57 is a good kit, but pie shaped. I've figured out how to narrow the back half of the body and section the rear bumper so all is good. The opening trunk really helps on this. Compare it to a new Revell 57 and you'll see what I'm talking about. Great donor kit for other mid 50's GM builds too.
  22. That 57 Chevy kit says opening trunk, so it's the new tool.
