Heck, Im in good company then, caz I have the same problem, My Kahuna!!!!

WOW! I haven't seen this kit since the old MPC kit was on the shelves at K-Mart!!! GREAT lookin job you did on it! I didn't even know another company popped it! You dun GOOD!It even LOOKS mean!!!!

Guys, when Missing Link pops these rascals, I KNOW that they'll be RIGHT up there with the quality of the rest of his stuff! I'm fortunate caz I only live about 15 minutes from the Batcave! I'mma TRY to watch this bad boy gettin poured!!! The guys overt DRAG don't mess around, when they do it, it's DONE RIGHT!!!!!

What scale is that kit?

Yep, that's me too. Never seem to get any FINISHED, that's my problem!!!! :lol:

WElcome Mark. If you look Waaaaay at the bottom of the intro page, you'll find a section just for trucks!!! They made it for you BIG truck lovein guys to have a place to play!!! Hey, it beats playin in traffic!!!!

Glad ta meet ya! Hope we've guessed yer name!!!! Welcome Jason. With an intro like that, I can tell your gonna be JUST as weird as the rest of us!!! You gonna fit right in!!! :lol:

Plus, at the shows, he sells them for as cheap as 10 bucks a pop!!! Saw his IH delivery truck last sunday, it was only 30 bucks there, he said to use the 55/57 Chevy pick up frames to finish it. It was a VERY nice casting!!!

Casey, yes, it's the rarity of it. It was only produced ONCE, and they were not real popular THEN. Then they were GONE and about 20 years ago, A young fellow had one and decided to cast it as a stocker OR Hot Rod. Then he passed away and left the kit in limbo. Now, Kevin Lutz has found one and graciously decided to cast them himself. NOW we can all have one at a reasonable price! THANKS, Kev!!!!

Shhhhhhh, Jeff, we DON'T wanna mess things up for Kev!!! MIGHT be the ONLY virgin he comes across for a LOOOOOONG time!!! :lol:

Looked like an old neighbors Simca. A Simca what, I don't remember, just that it was a Simca, and looked similar!!!

X2, Danno!!!!! :D

This car was in the lobby of our plant years ago. It's NICE to see Caddy runnin in the GTP races. Made ya PROUD ta build Cadillacs!!! Neat lookin car, don'tcha think????

Tor, that rascal must REALLY be rare as I've NEVER heard of it!!! Is it a European car?(naturally) Could ya show us a picture of it???

That I DO, Bro, That I do!!!!!!

Guy's I can GAYROTEE that this kit will knock yer socks off! AND it WON'T be made of "Unobtainium", meaning ALL of us poorer modelers will be able to finally FIND and afford one!!! Ya GOTTA love the stuff commin outta the "Batcave"!!!!!! :lol:

Kev, you FOUND ONE?????? COOOL!!! Look out folks, we's finally gettin one WE can afford!!!!!!! You GO Bro!!!!!!! :lol:

Mike, "It's NOT OVER till WE SAY it's OVER!!!!!" Keep on pitchin it,Mike. Run off some flyers an leave them wherever they'll letcha!! If you gotta LHS, that's a GREAT place ta start! If you have an Aco or Ace Hardware store that provides a "Citizens bulletin board" you know, a sell.buy type of board, post them rascals there! Other than runnin an add in your local paper, word of mouth is the next best thing. MAYBE you can put an add in the "Social" section of you local paper announcing it. hth

Oh yeah, she's sweet lookin alright!!!

THANKS for the update guys!!! YES, i agree, this is great news!!!!!

And what did it say???? Gregg has posted it in the magazine it WAS going out of buisness. who's right????

Patrick, Bullet's car was a 68 390 4spd. The model comes with an FE big block, manual trans. I believe the car had a black interior, and i THINK the color was deep forest green color. I DON'T know the exact name for Fords color of it. Just goin from memory so i'm probably wrong on the exact color. I built the Revell Die Cast and just detailed the engine and interior. Much easier for me, caz I still don't paint so hot!!! Came out pretty nice, if I say so myself.

What's not to understand? If i don't like it, I won't buy it.Simple as that. Do YOU buy stuff you don't like SIMPLY to buy it? I'm on a pension, so I don't do things like that..Besides, we all have our ways, like i said.

I for one won't ever buy the 53 Hornet. IF i get one as a gift, I'll graciously accept it, but I won't buy it. I just don't have any interest in it, It doesn't spark a lite in my fire, that's all. I don't build 24 th scale cars for the same reason, I don't care for the size difference. I have MANY 24th scale aircraft, as that's the only scale I can find close to 25th, But if the cars not available in 25th but it is in 24th then MAYBE but not often. NEVER got the 70 GSX by monmogram exactly for that reason. When R&R came out with a resin cast 25th scale GSX, I bought two of them. To each his own, and I don't feel I'm missing out on anything because of my bigotrie(sp?) I got MORE than enough kits to build without changing my habits. I've been thru the different scales of other types of kit, I chose 1/48th for aircraft and built MANY over the years, But my true love has always been cars, so in my later years, I choose to do them exclusively. In fact I sold most of my unbuilt planes to another member here who wanted them. As long as I build ,I'm being happy, and as long as i build CARS, I', even happier. But hey, that's just me. I'm sure I'm not the only one with thier own quirks!

What scale is that? I've never seen that particular Jada model. It IS die cast, yes? BEAUTIFUL paint job!!!!
