  1. It's definitely one that I will buy if they reissue.
  2. I'm trying to remember if this has been done, but how about a period Cannonball where the kits can only be from the 70s period that the original race was run? Maybe even have the mods to the vehicles be period as well?
  3. I don't know of any aftermarket ones, but most of the MPC annuals and a lot of the AMT one from the 70s came with one. Some of the reissues have them.
  4. Gotta love this! You did a great job.
  5. It's clean and well done and I like it!
  6. The stepside bed was built and sold for an aftermarket fitment and fit on most of the small trucks of the time. A couple of LUVs and a Datsun 620 in my hometown had them. They were offered through the dealer as a conversion thing.
  7. The 1963 Nova wagon and the 61-63 F100s are definitely on the list for me. As well as pretty much any of the 70s MPC annuals such as the Dodge truck and van.
  8. They update their product line periodically and remove the slower moving items. I've started buying two cans whenever I find one I need.
  9. Trademark holders have made it too expensive and complicated for small companies to navigate the system to get a license. A guy I used to work with started out reproducing old kit parts. He started making copies of copyrighted movie and tv props and sells them on eBay and at conventions. He's been doing it for about 30 years and hasn't gotten caught, but it always makes me nervous for him.
  10. I still have one of the Monogram ones that I work on periodically, but I'm pretty sure it's hexed. First I broke the windshield frame, then while fixing that I lost part of the top. I found that and got the paint on and it crackled. I stripped it and tried again and the paint ran. As far as the Italerai kits, I want the Range Rover and the Land Rover both, so I'll take what I can get if they release them. Thanks.
  11. Most excellent!
  12. It's the old Monogram curbside. I've built a couple of these over the years. Congratulations. Really nice pretty rare kit.
  13. It's a composite of all the US vans, probably the closest is a late 60s Chevy SportVan.
  14. I would be interested if it were a 2n1 with a Nascar option. Or maybe they will do a wagon?
  15. Looks good!
  16. I would buy and build these just out of nostalgia!
  17. Here's hoping that some good will come out of this bankruptcy. Revell has been getting by for a while and maybe, just maybe the restructuring will allow them to start again with the drive they had when they first started. As far as the companies who have gotten the old molds, perhaps they will see this as a new opportunity and dive to restore the old tools and make a go of it.
  18. Thanks for the notice, I told my wife and she put it on TIVO. She love this movie!
  19. These might work, they work out to maybe 22 or 23 inches in 1/25th scale. I think the unassembled version of it includes two set of wheels but only one set of tires.
  20. Years ago I heard that the molds for these AMT kits were still around. When the Parts Packs started being re-released I was really hoping to see these come out as well. Still hoping! I would also love to see the Japanese companies turn out those old 'extras' as well.
  21. I actually owned a 1991 Nite edition for several years. I wouldn't mind getting a set of these as well.
  22. I've got a set of those decals somewhere. I'm rearranging things and hoping I'll come across them. I think the decals make two cars.
  23. I never met him and yet I miss Harry! This kit doesn't come with any and I can only find one that looks decent. I'm actually planning on trying to cast it this weekend.
  24. I cleared a few square inches of work bench and managed to finish a hot rod Porsche RSR and I got some work done on my Cannonball entry's 6BT diesel.
