  1. Sorry the Paystar is of the 5000 series. The 4200, 4270,4300 are all Transtar series. I don't know who made the resin hood, But you can use the 4300 kit to make the (4200) 4270, As they share the same cab, The paystars cab is simular but the fire wall is diffrent than the transtars firewall.
  2. Even though I did not have these kit's before, I did manage to get them because I always wanted these: original kits, 1958 Nomad, 1960 nomad, 1966 Johan Ambulance (got 3 ) and I just won a 1968 Cadillac Convertible off ebay. As for kit's that I had when I was young that long ago were destroyed, and since then I've replaced : Transtar 4070 a, Transtar F-4270, S-Series F-2575, Transtar II, Transtar 4300, and the IH Scout
  3. Forgive me if I'm wrong, But didn't amt use a loaned kit of the mack cabover to make a new mold for the kit's reissue? If they could do that then maybe the 60 El Camino/Nomad would be reissued? Plus many kit's such as The 4070 A, Transtar 4270, and more. There are unbuilts out there that they could aquire to redo molds for new reissues.
  4. He also run's a resin company called Scaled Visions (same Address as Reliable resin)
  5. A hard to find 1958 Chevrolet Nomad wagon made by Either SMP or AMT.
  6. If you want a better detailed chevy engine, My choice would be getting it from the 66 Impala kit. Then just cut off the transmission on the engines, and glue the pickups tranny to the 66 Impala's engine block. I did this to one of the snow plow GMC 's that I had built.

    Thanks for all the kind remarks. Even though I'm not a ford fan I do like long roof cars!

    Wasn't a bad kit to work with although one tail pipe was a little figity.. Just bought a second one this time from Hobby Lobby. $15.00 after the 40% coupon! anywho most revell kit's are chaper than Any of the round 2's kit's!
  9. Well It could be done as amt did with the Chevy 1500 silverado's They made the promo and full kit. so they could change the mold's and have opening hood, engine ect. Just a thought!
  10. I said that because someone else posted for revell to do one from the 60 impala molds. and yea I know amp,smp , both became amt products. Besides If the molds are in fact still around, I'd think it would be easier to retool them than doing that to the Revell mold's.
  11. Many of the safety devises we have today were on the Tucker then, They include: safety glass winshields, padded dash, seat belts, disk brakes , just to name a few. The car The big 3 said that all those things implied that the car was not a safe car. And make no bones about it the big 3 would love the telsa to go the way of the tucker.
  12. 48 out of 50 are still roadworthy! say's something for tuckers quality.
  13. Since Both the wagon and the el camino were both kits at the same time, would they not be two diffrent molds and not one? I got a copy of the 60 El Camino and a resin copy of the 60 wagon. I would love to see both reissued as "old" new stock ( Vintage box look) but molded in white.
  14. wouldn't the molds for the 6o el camino kit/wagon kit be the property of AMT?
  15. Sorry but International Havester don't produce trucks under that name since 1985! It became Navistar, and now is knowen as Navistar International. The harvester name and logo are used by Case IH. Also Most Navistar trucks are special ordered in one way or another. More than likely the Lonestar pictured above was a special ordered truck.
  16. Two day's ago: Johan 64 Cadillac convertable plus a sealed Cannon ball run Chevelle. Yesterday: MPC Pontiac Fiero GT (red car on box) plus a 76 Chevy Vega Promo (molded in green).
  17. Maybe she is named Cindy,or Kayla
  18. They said it landed hard and blew one of the front tires upon impact. Makes you wonder how much damage the rest of the truck substained.
  19. Just when you thought GM's recall's were bad. Now Chrysler/fiet recalls 500 thousand trucks, because the computer system can be hacked into.
  20. I'd go with black. Most GM engines in the late 70's were a light blue.
  21. There is a guy who drives one of those Oldsmobile wagons Here in Van Wert. Pain'ts faded on his but the car still looks good. Revell culd retool the alternomad and make the Chevy caprice wagon while supplying the grill and such for the road master and Oldsmobile wagon. Roadmaster and Olds tags as well as the caprices could be decal's.
  22. Looks good, But one burning question. Where is Bo and Luke? (stuntmen) and the film crew.
  23. I have seen them but only in H.O.scale
  24. Well it at least still looked like a mustang.
  25. Not bad in Black and red, Did mine in Light blue and white.
