    Haven't seen one, but that "era" Corvette is not high on my build desire. The only Corvette PE I've come across is from Model Car Garage https://www.modelcargarage.com/eshop/pc/showsearchresults.asp?incSale=0&IDSale=0&ProdSort=&PageStyle=p&customfield=0&SearchValues=&exact=0&keyword=corvette&priceFrom=0&priceUntil=9999999&idCategory=0&IdSupplier=&withStock=&IDBrand=0&SKU=&order=0&VA=1 I thought I had come across some metal transfer logos, but can''t find the reference. I do think they were for later models. What, specifically were you looking for in a PE set?

    Super!

    Well, Maisto is coming out with a C8 diecast in the reasonably near future

    They are MCG and as Jen said, the tabs should face the driver. See the picture

    409 replaced approximately mid-year by the 396. My Dad bought an Impala SS coupe, but with the 327 - 300 hp engine (and Powerglide tranny ☹️)

    Well I started this kit today. On car models I usually start with the body, cleaning things up, scribing and doing any needed customization. As this is my first big rig, I concluded that the frame. suspension and engine were likely the best start points. Getting to the frame, it needed a lot of clean up. Given it is a 30 year old kit, but the mold lines and sink marks on the frame were unbelievable. Took a bit of sanding and some Tamiya putty to clean it up. And, to make the build start official, I glued the engine halves together ?

    If I am not too late, I'll give it a try with my first big rig, the Revell Unimog Fire Rescue

    I just pulled out my Foose Impala kit. The stock components are there. One exception. The provided engine is a 396 BB with single 4 bbl. The decal sheets include script for a 409. So, you would either have to source a 409 for the engine bay (Monogram 65 Impala included one) or 396 script. The interesting thing is that the Impala Overhauled is a Small Block.

    Foose kit has the wheels he designed for the Overhaulin version (although that was a small block), decals, and some dress up stuff. I'd have to dig mine out to see if the stock components are still in the kit

    Thanks Kevin. I have made several friends and learned much. A Happy New Year to ALL

    Double that.

    The Revell Germany site is where you must go and select customer service. If the model is recent or still in production, odds are good. If not, odds not so good. I just got replacement tires for the Unimog Fire Truck, the 20 year version. Mine were "melting". I expected to pay, given the age of the kit, but replacements arrived with no charge. I am sure each case is different, but that would be the place I'd start. https://www.revell-service.de/en/

    Looked around but never came across any but the SMS
  17. Exotics_Builder
    These just arrived in yesterday's mail

    Will need some tweaking. But I already had the Goldfinger DB5 and didn't want to "cobble" it into a stock version. It even has the figures in it. When I compared that to the DB4, there is less size difference than I expected, given that the 1:1 DB5 is slightly larger. It will be a while before I put this on the bench, but they are getting more rare
  19. Exotics_Builder
    Really?
  20. Exotics_Builder
    Arrived today. Will be looking to merge with the Aurora/Monogram/Revell DB4

    ????????????
  22. Exotics_Builder
    And a BMW 850i and a couple of others as well
  23. Exotics_Builder
    Double that, but I think it is a waste of resources.
  24. Exotics_Builder
    I'm a tad too far away now to have made it. ?

    Maybe some of you are already familiar with this, or at least parts. I cam across these today and, even though sort of Cliff Notes Overviews, were somewhat interesting.
