Jim there were two issues of the 4300 eagle as well the Highway and a race truck. Should we also add any 1/32 Model trucks such as Ertl's International 9670 and the Volvo Coca-Cola truck w/trailer, And then there are the Monogram/revell 1/32 trucks as well as the even smaller AMT trucks..

I also agree 100% dislike them like H E double hockey sticks!!!!

It's Happening once again all "boxed" model kit's are 40% Off The sale starts today (Sunday Oct 4th) on their web site, and Monday ( Oct 5th) in the store's..................

On the International's The Transtar F-4270 (4200) was 1973-1977, The Transtar 4300 series ran from 1977/78 . You also missed the S-Series 2575 & 2674 kit's by Ertl which was started in 1977/78 Release's . Note the S-Series was known as the Springfield Special By most other IH truck Factories....

Looks very much like a Palmer copy of a '59 Impala....

Once again for a third time All boxed kit's are on sale this week Starting Sept 21,-26 2020!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually the 55/56 Pontiac's were kitted by Jo Han /Excel but those are promo type cars. I think they also did the 55-60 Oldsmobile's as well ! SMP/AMT did the 57 & 58 Pontiac's as Craftsman promo's as well. I have a '55 & 56 "promo" Pontiac's which are made not from that acetate plastic.

Yes AKA Coffin Nose 1937 Cord 812.

Seen one the same color heading east on U.S. 30 while we were heading to Ft. Wayne Indiana today. Never seen one being driven on a four lane highway!

Lost my '97 Buick Lesabre on Aug 8th due to a accident On Aug 11th I got my '04 Chevy Malibu. The dealer only sell's local used cars , Photo's were from his lot.

went to Lima Ohio's HL they had 1 '60 chevy pickup, and I bought that! Military kit area has been made smaller as they started putting Gundam wing , and some other Japanese anime kit's in. (Dragon ball z / Pkoemon model kits)...........

Wal Mart used to sell that paint now their cheap paint is just that cheap paint. You'll get what you pay for when you buy wal marts .98 cent spray paint! I'll stick with Krylon short cuts, and Dupli color paint's...............

THE Late Tom Ogle invented a device that vaporized the gas before it went into the carb, There is documents online that proved that his product did work. He had a '70 Ford Galaxy that he got 100 MPG on using his invention.

Lost my car due to an accident. Tore the front end apart, but didn't blow the air bags. Busted the plastic on the raidiator, Pushed the battery to almost touching the Coil packs, But the old beast started right back up, and drove it into the median, And towed from there. The only good thing is I came out unharmed. Let me say those 95-98 Lesabre's are tough car's!

Today was the Official start of the annual U.S.127 yard/garage sale's All were bought in my home county. Photo's are from Internet/ebay. ** Note** My amt Jaguar is factory sealed, paid $3.00 for it. The 1910 Maxwell (there are two of them ) one is the 1950 pull toy missing the cable the other is the 60's model kit. The Revell Hot Rod ford's are missing the Instruction sheet's and decals. From Ebay a 1992 summit white Chevy Silverado c-1500

Bought a Franklin Mint 1963 Impala Ht at a local yard sale today It came in in a very nice display case. I paid $20.00 for it.

Early Bird U.S.127 Yard/garage Sales. Got the 1/8 1985 Corvette, Revell Peterbilt firetruck, Die cast Ford Fire truck Model's bundle price of $50.00. Same seller had the AMT Areo Chief which after looking at other sellers item's I went and bought it for $15.00.

No, They are promo's which are also the same cab,bed, hood, interior,glass, bumpers,grill, and tail lights that came in the full detailed kit. The hood is just pinned shut, but can be pulled off to expose the engine bay. The real only difference between the detailed and promo is the chassis . If you have any of the full detailed kits, just check the cab closely , and you will see the front pin holes for the front hood pins. If you turn the cab over you'll find the chassis screw post, and where the pins were removed for the detailed chassis's front suspension. The AMT Ford F-150 kit's are the same between the promo and detailed kit. In fact I think that many of the 1990's promos that amt produced were also produced as full kit's. These include: Ford Taurus, Chevy Corvettes, Camaros, Pickups, Beretta,Pontiac T/A, Ford F-150, ranger pickup, and Dodge stealth.there were some promo;s never issued as full detailed kit's as well , Two off the top of my head are the Chevy Tahoe, and Dodge Ram pickup's...The Snapfast Plus line was just Promo's that you put together Simular to smp/amt Craftsman kit's that were build your own promo.

I like your color choice as it looks like it was factory choice of color..

I got a second copy of the '95 Brickyard 400 Chevy C-1500 pickup at local flea market in a trade deal. Since this had what looked like smoke damage (yellowed on drivers side) made it a good project for a repaint. I stripped it of the graphic's then re painted/gloss coated the pickup, and changed out the wheel's to standard one's. I added Coca-Cola decal's that came with the GMC General kit that came out recently.

Used this as the template for the last Coke Machine. It's supposed to be printed out then glued to card stock. But I used the thin evergreen sheet for the pattern by placing it over the computer screen. Then tracing the machine out on the evergreen sheet. The only thin evergreen used on the actual copy is the front. The rest of the evergreen was a thicker sheet with thin square evergreen strips between the double front and the inside's of the machine. The dispencer pocket was cut out on the thin front sheet.

The first one is die cast that came with the AMT '55 Chevy Cameo pickup, The cooler style which comes with the '60 Ford Ranchero . The early 70's machine came with the 77 Ford Van kit, and the 80's/90's style machine I made from various sheet/strips of Evergreen, and left over Coca cola decals.

Revell made the 90's caprice, '94 Impala, '05 Chevy Impala, and amt did make a '04 Pontiac GTO (johnny lighning/then rides) The Impala can be converted to a non police car fairly easy.

I seen that on their facebook page. Last issue will be October, 2020. They will still have the web site for everything. Otherwise it is fine scale modelers now.
