I found it. I apparently sent entire sprues. The only thing left is the body and sprue “E”. I’m sorry I couldn’t help.

I may have it. Is this the blue box with white car? I’ll see if I can find it tonight. I robbed the seats and wheels out of it. I sent something else to another modeler.

Imaginationland? I think these kind of photoshops/renderings are lame. They often lack imagination or taste.

An orange funny car. I think it was a Vega. Around 1974. I would have been five years old. I would like to show the box art, but…I was five and I just don’t remember much more. Just two or three years later, I learned a valuable lesson about following the instructions. It was the Monogram MiG-15. I glued both upper wing halves together.

Nice.

There are 20 listings on eBay right now. Several scales, several year models.

Maybe I am going nuts. I didn’t see it there.

I know I’m not going nuts. I remember a European big rig that had icebergs/arctic sea graphics painted on it. Italeri made a model of it. What was it called? How can I find it? It was pretty cool. I saw the real thing on the Autobahn several times. Thanks. Lee

Thank you.

I got mine also. The Pontiac from Japan is beautiful. The photography is, as well. I’m really happy to see it in print again.

Stephen King’s “The Shining”. I read it about 30 years ago. I always sleep on my right side. While I was reading that book, I slept with my head at the foot of the bed so I could watch for that purple lady. “The Dead Zone” was good, also.

I saw the D8506 in a store recently.

I’m definitely following this. I have the Tamiya 1/24 kit. I really want the MFH. I’m a big fan of the car and the engine. The race version and the production M119.

Did the Model K use the same chassis as other Lincolns in 1938? I’m asking because I saw the most beautiful car on Chasing Classic Cars tonight. It was a model K coupe with body by LeBaron. It there is a resin or 3D model of that car, I would love to get one. If someone could point me towards a book about the Model K, that would be great, too. Here’s the car. Wayne Carini removed the chrome grill shell and replaced it with a correct body color shell, and removed the whitewall tires.

Don’t tell Italeri I said this, but…

Wow. I never knew that. I have one that is two bodies mated together for a stretch van with tandem axles and a smooth roof. I want to make it look like a modern take on a ‘70s van.

I hope this works… https://www.instagram.com/reel/CgNncXPvwIZ/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= This is such a cool idea. I like ‘70s style custom vans, but not enough to build a real one. In scale, though…it would be a nice touch. Also- Tamiya has a 1/12 remote control Dodge van with a body made of styrene. It looks pretty good. It’s called “Vanessa’s Lunchbox”. You can find the bodies on eBay.

If you don’t need a perfect match, you might start with a supercharger from a WWII aircraft V-12. The first is from a Jumo 213. It was a German engine used in the FW-190D-9 and Ta-152. The second is a Rolls-Royce Merlin. It was used in the P-51D, among many others. These superchargers are huge, but one in 1/72, 1/48, or 1/32 scale might work for you. I can take measurements for you if you want. I have a lot of FW-190s. I’m not sure I have a detailed P-51D.

Anything more than “coming soon”?

Thank you. I was thinking Chevelle, but I didn’t know ‘68/‘69 was separate from ‘70/‘72.

I saw this at a job site today. A buddy and I were trying to figure it out. I’m thinking GM circa 1970ish. He thinks it’s from a big Ford.

Sounds good to me. Let me know what you want for it. I have an AMT 1963 in 1/25. I can check the fit of that. If it’s too small, I was thinking of the Monogram 1/24 1965 Corvette, and grafting in a split window.

Do you want the rest of that Lincoln kit? I doubt I will ever build it.

Sounds awesome.

I think it may have been for the Japanese market only. I’ve seen Italeri aircraft reboxed as Tamiya for “JDM”. Here are a couple of links which show the Fujimi kit, with instructions and art from the sides and ends of the kit box. https://ferrari-f40.tistory.com/1686 https://ferrari-f40.tistory.com/172?category=505485
