I've heard Modelhaus has some for 68-9 Torino that would be correct....
-
I've seen quite a few of these kits with the hood cut out when it really didn't match how the car was built....maybe that's why?
-
For those of us who remember VW buses n vans way back when...who'd have guessed they'd generate this kind of thing let alone become "priceless classics"? If it's to be believed...that toaster will be a big success amongst the "cultists"
-
The 2+2 and the Grand Prix are the same size. Didn't AMT do a 65 GP too? if so was it on the Bonneville chassis/body too or was it correct? I can't remember.
-
Wow! I've never seen one done so well,not even close.
-
So it's not how many you have...it's what they're worth? Hmmm. Do common thieves steal model cars? I understand most are drug addicts,so do fences and/or drug dealers take model cars as payment? I'm thinking it's probably safe to discuss what/how many we have here.
-
But it *was* words *this* time....the pics didn't make his point. The last 32 Vickie I got was 25 years ago..squashed body in a perfect box and the last AMT 36 I got was even longer ago, perhaps an original issue at that.
-
Or too long...maybe a Bonneville body when it should be a Catalina body? I can't remember exactly but too short doesn't sound right.
-
It's a modified re-issue of the original 65 kit (from 1965 to be clear). A typical AMT kit from that era.
-
No just little "dots" with light engraving "suggesting" hood pins.... If those PE Dzuz fasteners don't really work, I wouldn't be interested
-
Yes they are very popular. The 1/35 folks get all kinds of neat 30/40s cars n trucks....in the "right" scale we could have a lot of new raw material.
-
Maybe we could get Tamiya interested in doing a 34. I just got their '36 Toyota, while it's "only" a curbside kit, it is beautifully done.
-
Yep they're tiny ...without your close-up pics I wouldn't have been able to see 'em. The only hood pins I've used were those little chrome "dots" that came with Monogram stock cars....
-
Thanks for the "proof" Bill..but I woulda believed you without it I hope to see my roadster n tudor from Revell (if I live long enough) I know they *can* do it. Look what they did with the 32s. BTW..do you or anyone else know why the AMT 5 window had a separate rear window surround?
-
Very nice. Working hood pins even?
-
I haven't seen either of them so I don't know....are those parts "new" or was it a matter of using the "whole" original tooling? I do think "fixing" the 34 would be much more "ambitious". But I'd be happy to be wrong I really would. If they decide to "fix" one, I'd really like a 33-34 Tudor.
-
But "AMT" is no longer with us and Round2 doesn't seem interested in making (or modifiying) new tools so....if a really good 34 is desired it seems like Revell would be the company to make it. They've got enough "practice" now to really do a great kit if they decided to.
-
Is it later yet Art?
-
What do you suppose this is ?

Yep looks like a Dodge to me....as does the pick-up from your link. If only the military modelers were 1/25th eh? -
Again..they DID warn the customer about what to expect inside the box..shudder I really like 33-34s all and any 1-1s. Unfortunately AMT(and a couple of others) just couldn't quite figure them out. I want a stock bodied roadster and Tudor sedan if anyone's listening. I'd prefer the Tudor if I had to pick tho...
-
But they don't help it a bit....that's gotta be amongst the worst box art ever,but at least it does warn the potential buyer what to expect. A huge disappointment from the company(sort of) that brought us the Trophy Series kits of the 60's...
-
Now, now you're gonna upset somebody with that one ... .but yes, please.
-
Maybe after the Foose kits ?
-
YES to a new 1/25 34 (from Revell ) (although I'd be very happy with a straight reissue of Mongram's 34)

Looks like a 34 Fordor to me....1/32?
