MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. The Wide Sides Ford isn't prototypically correct for a dually, I'm pretty sure. I wonder if the bed could be lengthened to a long bed?
  2. With Round 2 reissuing the early 70s Chevy/GMC trucks, I wonder if they still have the tooling for the Cooter's Wrecker bed? That could make for a fun build.
  3. I think the ARII kit is 1/24th scale, so you might be able to combine it with the Revell Monogram 1970 Challenger to get close to what you're hoping to achieve. The Revell kit has a pretty nice chassis, but comes with a Hemi, if I remember. Anyway, the kit is cheap and easy to find. As for the 318 engine, I guess you could use one from one of the AMT or MPC mid 70s kits. There are been some buildups on this site.
  4. I grew up a fan of the Group 5 and IMSA's Camel GT racing. Those cars were so much more interesting to me than Formula 1 or Indy cars. I've managed to acquire most of the Porsche kits you show, and now I need to search for these other kits! Thanks for bringing back some good memories.
  5. I would look forward to any of these. AMT has reissued the Chevy van many times and it seems about time they bring back the Open Road Camper version. I really hope to see Round 2 backdating or cloning many of the old MPC tools. I'd love to have an early style Pinto in the Runabout and wagon versions and really all the old car, truck and van kits they did would be nice in their earlier versions. Perhaps they could backdate the Dodge van, add the windows back to the clear tree and do a proper Cannonball van?
  6. Could it have been the Olson Brothers or Fireball Models? I think they're both still in business but I don't know how to get in touch with them.
  7. One of my first jobs was as a medical supply delivery driver. I drove an old 82 version of one of these. It was a 300 six with the three speed column shifter. It wasn't speedy, but it never broke down. I have a couple of this kit waiting to do a replica.
  8. I bought several of Revell's other tractor kits, in hopes of encouraging them to do more. Now I hope they'll do a series of American tractors as some of them were either built or imported into Europe and the UK as well. I'd love to have a couple of Ford 9Ns!
  9. I'll get one, even with all the shortcomings. I like seeing these old trucks hot rodded and can see a couple of ways to make this one interesting. What I really hope is that MPC will backdate their Deserter to produce a mid 70s two and four wheel drive version.
  10. I have a nostalgic attraction to Monogram's old 1/24th sports cars. Their Datsun was one of my favorites of the batch. Love your builds.
  11. Until I looked it up, I forgot how small the tires were on older cars and how high they rode. My dad had a 1968 Mustang and he talked about how he had wide tires on it. I found a picture of it a while back and those wide tires were probably narrower than those on a stock Camry these days.
  12. Not sure where the mental glitch happened, I guess I'm going senile. The pack in the photo literally said Evergreen on it and I was still searching under Plastruct.
  13. I wonder if Salvinos has these molds too?
  14. Thank you! I was looking for it as Plastruct not Evergreen. Appreciate the help.
