Blazing Bison was the Tractor's Name Meister Brau was only its Sponser!!!! Curious as to what decals version will be offered I do remember that when this kit came out, the actual tractor had gone to 5 Engines!! 2 were at 90 Degree angle to the three in-line 1 off each side!!!! I believe between the second & third in-line engines

when did they delete the coil spring working suspension?? I built the 74 Annual With that feature!!

Actually, The tail lights are Chrome in the P-L kit as they are part of the rear bumper!! I also have both kits!! I Cut the 4 Bullitts off the rear bumper on my P-L kit!!! I was Not able to do that for the larger lenses surrounding the backup lights!! The AMT kit has ONLY the Step Bumper as that was how the car was Modified for the second Movie! Ecto-1 in the first movie had a Standard rear Bumper the 1A of the second movie had the Step Bumper Here is my Photobucket album for Ecto-1 & 1A http://s145.photobucket.com/user/EdselDan/library/Models/Ghostbusters?sort=3&page=1 Both are the AMT kit!! the 1A is completed, the 1 is stalled. I still need to the correct Stock Cadillac Hubcaps for her, and to tint the windows. I do not think the scribed line in the window piece is for Standard Ambualnce tinting Both Movies show a Clear Band in the side & tailgate (rear door) windows with Upper & lower section tinted gray/dark This is Easily seen in the interior shots while enroute to a call Harold Ramis & Bill Murry looking at where they are going in the WILD ride/Turn!!! Here Polar-Lights has the windshield & front doors in clear, while the rest are in VERY Dark gray/black (BARELY transluscent let alone transparent!!! So AMT kit is the Best to start with for that alone!!! Both kits have errors. AMT gave us Chrome Reverse rimes with Baby Moons. ONLY the Baby Moons were Chrome in the Movie the rims were White! Both give us Incorrect Spotlight mounts and omit the side Mirror from the Spotlight P-L kit does Not have the Standard Caddy side Mirror, or AM radio antenna!! YES there were TWO side Mirrors on Ecto-1!!\And the Short Antenna on the right fender!! Also Ecto-1 had Two Larger Whip antennas. the one on the right front CLOSE to the AM radio antenna and a Second on the left rear Both clip to the roof rack/carrier at or near the top front cross bar The ladder in the P-L kit is too heavy, and Bent while the car has a Straight ladder!! I watched those movie scenes Over and Over on BOTH movies (OLD VHS tapes, I recorded off HBO/Max/Showtime/???) AMT's Message board decals are VERY incorrect The original Box art showed the actual car. I counted the Dots, and made my own from Blank Revell Goodyear Blimp sighs!! Scaled down on a Photocopier way back when!! I had to splice them to get the correct length!! (did that before reducing them!) That Photo-etch set would have been Nice back them!!! Looking at the decals I need to check the second movie again I remember seeing "WE PROMISE" not We're Ready before "TO BELIEVE YOU" We Promise is on the front fender!!!!! I know I am likely repeating info I gave back then, but..... Better to repeat, than forget!!!!

I got the Bronco in trade not too long after it was sold out Also, Watch for the "Wild Hoss" Bronco kit for the original issue It is molded in Tan not white like the M-K re-issue. I got one Complete for CHEAP off that evil Auction bay site Under 25.oo shipped!! was a few years ago, so might be a little more now But, Check you may get lucky!!!

Sad news!! I have One but wanted a few more. Already VERY High cost for those last re-issues

Pretty sure that is one of the "MINT's" pieces If Danbury, ONLY way to get one is Second Hand, ie That Evil Auctionbay site Or maybe find one of Craig's List in your area, or at a larger Model event Not too sure Franklin still has any Diecast available either though

Rear roof up-rights do match the Jo-Han 66 Ambulance nore that the Ghostbuster's 59 though. And yes it Is a 64 Look at the First Pic. The grill sections are not in a Flat plain to each other They Bevel Inward from the center to top & bottom And, HOW did you get the Screen Shots?? Is Misfits available on DVD now?? it was a Flop of a Series, so did not survive a full season Too bad as I liked it

Hard to say Some Jo-Hn Most of the Desert Race AMT re-issues,(only got 3 from the series) Had a few chances to get the MPC annual Dodge Pickups, but the Add-on lights in the grill made be pass them, not knowing they were not cast in place Now the only way I can do a Squad 51 is the PAPER kit I have!!! I Do have 2 each of the 68 Caddy Convert & 63 Plymouth!! I bought Many Jo-Han at McCrory's!!. no less than 4 Police Pursuit 1 pair was $3.25 each, I think the second pair $5.25 each a few years later Also had the chance to get MANY of the AMT Chevy Van-Open Road Mini-Motor Home at AMES!!

I never used the Model Master stuff, but the standard Clear. I Quit using it when a simple piece of tape would peal it off MONTHS later!! Or when it would burn through with a VERY old bottle of Turtle wax!!

Not sure, it WAS a while ago, but having built the "Scavenger" and wanting the Monster version back then, I thought they were back-to-back issues, especially with the Monster being the Scavenger with the Lifted suspension!! Lightbar is Very wrong for that era Tow truck though unless it was owned by a Fire or Police Department!! Amber was regulated to them by the 70s.!! Too bad MPC never offered it with Clear caps!! It would be TOO much to offer red, Amber, & Blue, but Clear could be tinted any color!!!

Aren't the Moebius kits packaged here in the US?? Sent from China as Crates of bagged parts, and boxed here? Aren't boxes and Instructions printed here?? Too warm plastic would NOT account for warping then. Too tight a Packing would though. Wouldn't they have to pay Import tarriffs on complete kits ready to sell? Isn't that why Tamiya, Fujimi, Heller, Rev-Germany etc are so expensive??

That is what we are Hoping, But why I speculate that the re-issue has not yet happened Possibly the Phone booth, and other accessory tooling from the TTT issue were not found We are getting a Different Wheelstander from the kit, but..............

I like many listed here. Dodge Vans, Chargers, Challengers, Monacos, etc Cougars, Cyclones, Chevelles Base level Tempest/Le Mans, Wagons, 4dr Sedans/hardtops As for a "Hollywood" product. How about a 72 Dodge D100/300 Commercial Chassis with Utilty Box and LA County Fore Department markings?? THAT one would be HIGH Demand!!!!! It could come out as a Standard Pickup too!!!!! Too bad the other Piece(s) were such One Topic Build/use Though they Could do what AMT did with their American LaFrance kit tooling and make 3 different builds possible. Would a Crown Firecoach or Ward LaFrance be that good a seller though??

My area store had those Pistols back from the Warehouse "Fire" sale from Lindberg!! I think 3 or 4 different ones. When I get cash week after next, I HOPE they have an SSR, and the Maverick Dodge besides the few 97 Crown-Vic's I did not find back during the Fire sale!! SSR was an Indy Pace car, so I need one

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!!
