Edsel-Dan

I built one of those Turbine's Back when and SEVERAL of the 'Tri-Five' Chevys. Only problem I had on either of them was with the tie-rod on the Turbine It so Thin it was EXTREMELY Fragile and broke repeatedly after assembly!!

Rear door windows were closed off at the same time the side panels were altered I have a few of those issues "Sunchaser" being one I have 3-4 of. NO rear door windows, sides cast solid. And Yes A-Team is the same. The 2 kits I have With the Windows in the rear doors, and the option of windows or closed side panels are the original run of the Rescue, and the Penski Team set. I am restoring the Rescue, but need a couple bench seats to make a Passenger van build out of her I used the window inserts, so..........

I am not worried about Price if I can't get the the regional one near me til next month The P{rice is NOT a "Sale" price but Ollie's actual price!! If anything, after a few weeks, prices may Drop!!!! A few years ago when they had the Lindberg "Warehouse Fire" buyout Most were listed at $7.99 Including all the former Pyro 1/32 classics Some time later (5-8 Months maybe) I got more of the 97 Crown Vic Police kits at $4.99!!!!!! Still want the Tennessee, North Carolina & Georgia as those never got to my store some others were also marked down, but NOT the 1/32 pieces Even the Weird-Oh's came down I think those went down to 3.99 or even 2.99!!!!! Just wish May 1 was next week!!!!!!!!

I have the M-K 71 and Built a Motor City's Stocker 70 for a Car Club Friend I altered that one into a 4dr. (Re-scribed door lines & addititonal door handles only I did not lift the rear of the roof) Due to painting them Body color, I did cut Both front & Rear pans off the chassis And will do so again with the M-K 71 I have More so for ease of painting them than fit issues

Not sure if the nascar charger used the same body as the annuals or not I thought we (Me & Brother) had the White Backer 11 "Dodge By Petty" at the Same time as the 73 & 74 Annuals were being offered I still have it and a few of the Petty versions too as well as the 73 Annual from then Plus, we did get that Street Machine in the ??late 70's-Mid 80's?? Did the body have the street parts? (Script, side markers, etc) Also, though Not perfect, we did get the 'Factory' 74 GTX/Road Runner re-issueed And they did offer the 72 Annual Complete some years ago I have an Unbuilt still waiting for attention And YES I would Love to see the Annual back as last seen in 74. Complete with Wagon option My 73 needs the woody decals and Grill replaced!!!!!! So the 74 would be perfect

I wonder if the Accessories are why the TTT issue has yet to be released. I bought one Way back in 79-80 that I built Stock I have the ladder rack from the :Bell System" version in it, but not painted or glued in I also have the Phone booth close by I want the Touch Tone issue back for the Phone Booth!!!!!

I have 2 of the A-Team issue 1 I bought New and have started, the second a Yardsale Glue-Bomb find. Never did see the re-issue,, would have loved to knowing the chrome tree was again plated as in I have had a few of the Chevy van kits myself First was the Original of the Fire Rescue version I also have 2 of the Penski Race team set That issue also had the Window van option, though I don't believe it had the passenger bench seats I just looked at my unbuilt though Incomplete kit It happens to be missing the Van Body!!!!!! Even with the original kit's Opening Hood, you could Not see the engine!!! You need to either leave the interior engine cover loose/Off or fine a way to make it removable!! (but getting inside the van to pop it off!!!!)

I go in with the attitude, that IF I am Meant to have something, I will find it at a Price I can Afford!! Case in point Bought the "California Fire Truck" Aurora ALF 900 Pumper New way back when. Wanted more, but............ Found them on that "Evil Auction bay site, but.... Needless to say VERY High $$$$$ then, Gues what I win not one, but over s couple years SIX Original Red issue kits Some started, Half have EXTRA parts--two cabs, two sets of tires & rims, etc. Now, NONE of these cost over $35.oo SHIPPED!!! Then I get the White California issue this past Oct-Nov. Also Under 35.oo shipped TWO COMPLETE Pump Bodies and decal sheets!!! sides & over rear wheel compartment boxes assembled, but still !!!! This past week I have seen MANY wanted kits/rebuilders in my budget level, but... Sadly that budget has been Dropped!! Motor Max diecast list there at 12.++ Find them in Wally's and they are 10.oo!!!! Dropped the watch for the 66 Chevy since I got one at my local W-M!!! Car needed a Lot of work (still needs more, but..........) Jury Duty last month made having front brakes done Manditory!!!! Saved over 100.oo on the job, but still was almost 300.oo!! Patience is the Key Watch, If meant to be, you Will find the item of interest at a Good price

I do this too. Just got a 61 Sunliner Promo in Red to go with my 62 & 63. ALL needed work, ALL CHEAP 62 & 63 needed windshield frame repaired Easy work, just a couple pins through each A post into the header bar 61 was only $10.oo, but needs more Full windshield frame replacement, and some deep scuffs in the body Not too hard thanks to both RC@ & Round2 re-issuing the Styline Town-Vic hardtop!! I have at least 2 BC Styline box art re-issues. 1 was started, primed & hood cut out I can take all I need from that one Including the windshield frame!!!!! Interesting that the Retor-Deluxe from Round2 had New box art and a Standard size box!! This is also how I got my 60 Impala Convert, 60 & 63 F-100 Pickups, 61 Bonneville Convert 60 El Camino,

I built the Jungle Jim kit back then Had 2 but 1 had a frame side snap into a few pieces and get melted in a bottle of Testor's Liquid cemet No Idea where any of the parts are for them now!!!! The J-J kit is the only one I ghad!! Too bad about the use of the 69-70 Grande being butchered!!!! Would Love to find one today, but prices......................

Same here Last they had was at the time of the Silhouette kit in original Box art reprint. I did not get any. They had at least 10, but by the time I had cash, all were gone!! Olie's has them most of the time, but outside of no cash for any right now Car needs work to be trustworthy to drive the distance!!

I gpt a Straight decent 61 Bonneville convertible promo it had been painted Blue & red I dropped it in the strip tank, "Wesley's Bleeche Whyte" Sadly, she Softened, twisted, And even shrunk!! Boot cover is not 1/32 or 1/43, The body rubberized mostly on the right side I have since found a Kit convert, and that one stripped fine. I just need more parts for her than I did for the Promo!!!

I Love 1/32, and have seen and want the Police version of this kit Too bad so few were imported!!!

Don't have a 54 yet Just the 52 Convert & original 53 Same Gold for engine??

I wish MPC's 70 Convertible would come back too Even as the Vampire Machine!! I had that kit WAY Back When!! found a FEW parts, but No idea where the rest of the kit is!!! MPC's grill was better than AMT's too it included the upper trim not in on the AMT piece. Also it had Stock Non-SS hubcaps!! The Glowing plastic was interesting, but Paint it, and it would go away! I MUST find a way to make Max3 STOP refreshing All tabs at random without being asked to!!!! Thought I Lost this post!!

I would not be surprised to find that ALL the MPC annual Impala/Caprice kits from the first in 68 to the last and current re-issue 76 used the same basic chassis/engines I said, I do have 4 of them 72, 73, 74 & 76 and ALL those DO share chassis/engine!!!! I did see that MPC's 70 had the same Custom Turbo for the engine as my 72

The Current "Foose" kits were Originally offered as Stock replicas then re-issued as Foose kits with new added parts Thus, Yes, they can Still be built Stock The 1 NEW TOOL kits being discussed here will NOT be buildable as Stock replicas as the bodies will be altered. More so in the Cadillac than the F-100.

Sorry to Burst your bubble here Charlie Though the Rear Suspension has a "separate" rear axle, it is HOLLOW. Actually ONLY Half there NO upper half. Also the Exhaust And lower trailing ares are part of the piece. Front is Cast to the chassis I have 2 of the re-issues, a Pro-Modeler & later, and original 72, 73 & 74 Annuals I built back then They ALL share chassis/Engine The 71 & 72 has a Separate Straight axle up front for the "Spoof" build option

Interesting info Hope to be able to get these 2 kits at some point I ALMOST have 2 versions in the 52 Convertible I just got It has both Full hubcaps, and ?CHROME? open Steelies Sadly, Instructions say 53 Grill is included, but is NOT!!! Also, though Many item altered by lighting colors are called out, Engine Block is NOT one of them!! NOT to brilliant there!!!! is it Gold, Copper, Bronze?????? Photo could be either Even Silver/Aluminum

Slight Problem with that The 58 Ranchero used 57 Tail lights while ALL 58 Wagons had 58 Tail lights!!!! Reasoning was to save damage to tail lights when tailgate was lowered Interesting they did not retain the tail lights on Wagons too How would they not be damaged when lowering the tailgate??

For a Few years Parkley, Va. Spring & Fall festivals included a "Model Contest" I had been showing for a couple year Before, so "Participated" I was the ONLY Contestant. All built models shown were Mine!! Naturally I won Prize was a Check for $15.oo

You want Large Aircraft Look for GPM's B-53 1/33 (1/32) Monogram's 1/72 scale is 30+ inches long with 3FOOT Wingspam DOUBLE that for the GPM kit Oh yea, it is PAPER!!!!! And NO I don't have one!! Always though Monogram's "Phantom" Clear Fuselage P-51 Mustang was 1/24 They Do have a Huey Copter that is!!

If he is in the US, Pay by US Postal Money Order. If you don't receive the purchase after a length of time Contact the Post Office They WILL get either the item, or your money back besides Arresting him!! I ONLY use PMO's for purchase evilbay sellers who do not accept them, do NOT get my business!!! Of Course, I can Not buy outside of US & Canada, but...........

The 60 Fairlane was HUBLEY's 1/24 offering Never Jo-Han's. How about the Town Limo from their 31 Cadillac It WAS 4dr I built one many years ago, and have another to build again Did Not think 1/32 were included as topic title is 1/25.. AMT/Revell did 2 others (4 considering they were 55 & 56 ANNUALS then) in the 1/32 series The Mercury Montclair Pheaton, and Buick Roadmaster I have 1 of each 56 Buick needs parts though (window frames)

I Don't remember the AMT Taurus being labeled as a Snap kit at Any Time! Though they Did offer a promo, they never offered a Snap kit of it that I remember The 94 SS also was Not labeled a SnapTite either I have it and the Police kit that IS labeled SnapTite!! As is the Fire Chief/Taxi issue The SS was sold as a Glue kit I don't see any engineering alterations Not directly relating to the change from 91-92 Caprice to the Impala
