Mine was a few yrs ago, not recently. They've probably had 15 ebay names, I know a couple guys he took for over 500.00 worth of cowl hoods a few years ago.

Picked up 2 50 olds, 2 57 fords, an Arnie Beswick 69 GTO funny car, 69 Camaro ZL-1, 65 Chevelle Z-16 all on clearence, and also got the Firestone 4X4 with the 40% off coupon. They still had Bounty Hunter Mustang, Another Beswick GTO, 1999 cobra, 66 mustang convertible, Monkey mobile, and others on clearence.

rat, I have bought from Rdsxfan2 once, thats not who I am talking about.Here is a link to one of the auctions... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ex-Husbands-Resin-Model-58-Impala-Teardrop-Hood-/291180814269?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item43cbba9fbd

I do believe that AFX resin(AFX scale resin, etc.....) is back on ebay, now listing parts under seller name **buttercup2012** now, and list stuff that was her Ex-Husbands. I've been taken for a few bucks before by him(them), just putting the word out.

Thanks Roy(Ford guy), you are an awesome trader too. Glad those parts went to someone who could use them.

The last pic more reminds me of a 2 door hatchback Fusion, not a mustang..

Neither Walmart within 10 miles of me has them, our local Meihers started carrying them last year, but then Meijers closed there doors here, along with my local hobby shop. All I got with in 45 minutes of me here is Hobby Lobby and Micheals. I do most my shopping online now.

Cool, hope all is good with him. LMK

Haven't seen or heard from him since site went down, we were working on a trade.

Although ugly, my parents bought a Bright Red 2004 brand new, I did all the maintenance, etc, it was very dependable(unlike yours apprently). They traded it off when it had 115,000 on it. Only thing ever done was brakes, tune-up at 100,000 and tires at 85,000(on the original tires).

I received some vintage resto projects in the mail yesterday. All but the Javelin came yesterday. Dropped off a few parts to a local garage, and he had a bunch of AMC stuff on display, gave me the Javelin Funny car body which is a complete body, for free. Silver firebird looks like it was dipped in paint, its so thick.

Yeah, but at less than 20 each with shipping(paid 93.00 for the lot shipped), I could not pass it up.

2 volare promo's, one built, 2 complete in the box kits, plus an extra Super pak box top.

go to your local paint store, and get some pint cans for paint, that'll help you split it up.

Same car, diff hood idea's.

Like I said, massage the window openings and few other things, and they will be fine. Its a model made of plastic for crying out loud, not made of solid steel. If you want it to look like a real car, just buy a real one. The more complaints, the more likely revell will stop making new molds of anything. I got one of those little messuring sticks too, if you remove the upper and lower window trim from the side windows(massage it) to make it the same as the MPC( no windows moldings) they both come out to 39/64 on my tape measure, or should i get out my Micrometer and measure it to the 1,000th of an inch. I am done putting my thoughts it, complainers will always complain, builders will always build, and be happy they got new product, instead of no companies making anything new.

might be easier to transfer the nose section to the mpc kit truthfully, was thinking about that myself.

Here are some comparison shots of the Revell 90 LX, the MPC 1984 25th GT, and the AMT latest issue of the 87 mustang gt Very workable. Yes, windows look off, but remove the revell windows mount lips and, huh, imagine that, pretty darn close. Difference in height, maybe 2 sheets of paper, I could not slide a 3 X 5 index card between the revell body and the peice of styrene laying across all 3 without moving the styrene. I mean, come on guys, we build models, so we should all be able to massage plasti some. If you cant, then why build models in the first place. If anyone bought this kit, and aren;t planning on using the complete body, send me a message, I'll take the complete bodies off your hands for slot cars for a reasonable deal(since I build those also).

I have to agree with Niko here, just work it a little, and its not bad. If enough people complain, Revell can simply pull it from production period, and not fix anything. If enough people complain about every new kit, we may never see any more new tooled kits from them.

truthfully, if you remove the extra window moldings around the windows, the roof height looks a lot better. Just removing a small amount around the door window openings makes it look a lot better. Still working on it.

I got my 3 today, not impressed either. I also have the MPC kits, I may due a side by side body comparison later this evening or sometime this weekend. First one I opened is actually missing one of the 2 red lenses for the Light bar, go figure.

Got these today, 69 impala as a rebuiler, Ventura to use for a slot car, but Is in need of help, and the maverick I think is a resin.

yup, got 2 myself, saved one when I was doing landscaping, he's 11 now(and weighs 18 pounds), plays xbox with me, lol

got these 3 items in the mail today. Got all 3 for 20.99 shipped to my door. Coupe and double kit were suposed to be just empty boxes. Here is the auction I won on ebay, http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMT-67-era-box-art-lot-Snake-Eyes-Show-n-Go-49er-2-empty-boxes-1-kit-/221177495830?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&nma=true&si=xEuyYnLd5zCSJ0ADZ5%252B3LKwHtCc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc 49 body doesn't appear to have been painted before. I'l be posting the 2 boxes and the contents on the trade block,will be keeping the 49 ford as thats why I bought it, for some odd reason I like that box art.

Not much left, picked up 3 California Wheels 62 impala kits today, 10.99
