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

OK, Looks like I might have found the Old Boat kit I have Side trim and bow look the same!! Mine was bought in Late 60's-Early 70's The Coronado Had White Vinyl/Rubber tube for exhaust, and string to coil on deck for rope Options on Cabin, None, short, Long, sliding, not sure on all. Was LONG time ago and though I still have her, I DON'T have box or instruction sheet!! Engine looks small in my built (if I remember correctly) but the Couple from Revell's 59 Skyliner fit the seats Might be better with 1/32 figures though as leg room is TIGHT for them!!

I have recently seen Pictures of 61 & 62 Rambler Wagons In Fact I asked the owner Why the Kit Okey sold was a 59 when the Promo was updated through the end of That body!! Any one here know how we got the Custom Curbside Cruiser as a 59 instead of a 62, 63 ????? what ever the last year was for that body style?? I know the 65 & 66 Wagon were done too as I almost had a 66 at one time, and have seen the 65 Plus I had a 65 Sedan for a short time before trading it As to the Toy version of PMC's 59 Ford Country Sedan I have 2 a Pink/Coral one and a TURQUOISE one So they were available in other colors besides Just the Pink!! I also have a Turq. Ranchero!! True the PMC toys did Not have Interior, Windows Or Hubcaps Most also had Silver Plastic bumpers/grills But they do NOT warp!! The Good point here is the Fairly Readily availabe Revell Parts fit with Little or No adjustment needed I know, I did it with BOTH Wagon & Ranchero!!

I knew they would be HIGH First-Gear always are!!!!!!! Will they offer a Generic, or Primer at a cheaper price??? ($35.oo or LESS PLEASE!!) what about Passenger versions?? It would be fun to do an Ambulance, Police Paddy Wagon or Fire Department Rescue van. But................................................. Currently NOT in my Budget!!!!!! (Oh yea.... I did Not see a price listed on the page when I clicked the link)

I was surprised to see the Blazing Bison Pull Tractor listed But, Yes, the prices listed are a Bit HIGH! Will Only buy these at Hobby Lobby & Michael's with 40 & 50% coupons!!!!! going by them saying 77 Pacer Wagon, I am betting it Will be the Stock Annual kit just like I built Way back when!!!!! Also curious about the Impala Convert. Lindberg's 61, or AMT's 62?? I have at least 2 of each so.......... Will depend on options included

Nice, But, Do I want to ask the Price????

If that piece I see in the interior sprue is the radio, Isn't that too small to be a Correct Tube type radio for the Police package?? weren't they still Very Large then?? I do like this and Hope to get a couple!!

I had one too Actually snapped the blade off the holder and I think broke the iron itself too. I liked their Hinges (2-pc) wish I could have gotten a few cases of them Worked good on the Chevy Van I opened the rear doors on

Thunderbird also used the Suicide Hinged rear doors on the 4dr sedans they did from 67 through at least 70 So they carried over at least one year After Lincoln stopped. Or did Lincoln still offer them in 70? I KNOW the 70 T-Bird did, I built a replica of one for a Car Club member a few years ago LONG Before Model King had the 71 re-issued!!!

Today a Viper Rt-10 Pre-Paint Yesterday a BEARCAT (Yes THE Bearcats Bearcat!!!) $5.oo at second hand store Started but Complete Box % instructions too!!! Also there a 'Scientific' brand Wood Ship "The Cutty Sark" That one needs 3 1/16 inch dowel rods Was only $15.oo Not started. Loose parts still in stapled bag Sorry, NO pic's till I get a usb cable for my New Nikon COOLPIX L31 Will NOT pat $20.oo for that as that is Half what I paid for Camera

I have put Cedar chips (Small Pet bedding) in kit boxes that I store knowing they may sit for months/years before being handled again I prefer the stronger smelling cedar for this as it does weaken over time I will try some of the other ideas, but, having both parents be smokers, I don't notice the oder!! However, there is a STRONG Chemical smell in the Moebius Ventura I have never noticed on any other kit!!!! Not even their original Hudson Hornet!!!!

I built this kit in the Countdown series. This was the First time I remember it on the shelf I did NOT see the Flower Power kits at all Though Did get 4 of the Desert Race/Rally series 3 different kits. 2 of the 59 Buick Invicta hardtop 'Boondock Bomber', the 61 Ranchero 'El Ranchero Grande' & the 62 Galaxie hardtop 'Turista Turismo' The Buick & Ranchero were Curbside, the Galaxie had an engine, but Few custom parts. The Buick was Stock Only, the Ranchero had Custom Parts, but Not the Styline pieces. I have an Unbuilt of this Mustang from the Resto-Rods series too. Yes, though too young to remember the original, I did build one around high-school graduation time (1979) And Yes, If I can afford one, would likely get this issue I am Hoping that the 2 Curbside kits Model-King helped get re-issued with Ertl, the 64 Comet & 59 Imperial, get re-issued soon Even though I have an unbuilt (Comet) or started (Imperial) of each I would buy a few more of them both!!!!!! I am Old enough to know most of the OLD AMT, MPC & even Jo-Han kits I built MANY of them! Some I still have, some I wish I did!!!

I hope like $#%^ IT is Not moving to Hendrik!!!! Bad enough having that other Cheater Jr there Might as well change the name to dei!!! As to Brand on the things They should Dump ALL and just call them nascar!! NO True Detroit manufacturers Left in there everything is All Generic anyway!!!!!!!!

I tried replying to this a few days ago and got major errors. I have the 5 62 MoPar kits from the USA Oldies series Though the Convertible of the Dodge is in an Original box, it IS a Re-issue as it is the SAME Orange as the hardtop, And has the heavy Plastic axles ONLY in later issues!!! (I had a Marliin kit with Wire rod axles,!) Both my Dodges have the 63 dash. Also in checking, Both my 62 & a re-issue 63 Fury Hardtop have the Same interior. The Plymouth Convert has a Split Bench with armrest and different upholstery pattern #5 is the Chrysler 300 Need to check that one again

Post test

I am having a problem Posting here TEST

I read the part about 68 Air Grabber in Collectible Auto and have the issue, (A Few year old though) So I SHOULD be able to confirm that I will let you know.

Sorry Duplicated post

I built one shortly after the re-issue in the 80's That the 68 DeVille Convertible, and the 63 Fury were the ONLY 3 Jo-Han kits to be re-issued Complete in tact with All old Customizing parts Still included And YES, I got ALL 3 back then! And More recently got a built 68 DeVille Convert 63 Fury Missing only 1 tail light lens & 2 Unbuilt 70 Eldo's!! I also got a 63 Fury Convert restoration project, but that was a trade deal and separate I traded one of the unbuilt Eldos, Molded in White (or VERY light green/cream) but still have the other Molded in Orange! (Though one Late trade buddy called it More "Pink Lemonade") To me it looks like Both tail light lenses Might be there. I see a shape that looks like the 2 set back to back (Straight hidden inner surface to straight hidden inner surface) Remember, the top & bottom edges are pretty much Parallel, just the top Shorter ONLY the face that points out is angled I just checked my Orange/Pink Lemonade Unbuilt YES, Both Tail light lenses ARE there the red Sprue is a "T" shape with the Short stub having the 2 lenses on either side, the Long stub runs Under them I can take a Large Picture, but CAN NOT yet post it Anyone know where to get a "NANO' end usb cable? I have a Cheap COOLPIX L31 from Nikon, and it did Not include the cable!!!!! A friend found one but for $20.oo!! NO WAY (almost what I paid for Camera!!!) Make it $5.oo -6.oo please!!

I need to look it up again, but believe the 68 DID offer the Grabber hood too But the Screens were SIDEWAYS, aka ON the Sides of the bulges, not Top! I have 2 69 GTX Convert, and 1 Hardtop and all have the Correct 69 Hood. the 68's I have also have their Correct hood. I need to check , but since they are Original's believe they have HEMI on what would be the Screen area of the bulge I believe the First GTX Hardtop, the Pro-Street had the Custom 440 I know the Convertible came only with the Hemi!!! I need to also check the STOCK hardtop to see if it had both engines I Passed on the Pre-Painted 68 as it has the 69 black STRIPES on the hood vs the correct rounded corners Rectangle

I am curious about the Locomotive in the 1 pic. And the Van underneath it.

They are at least the Same three kits Lindberg offered WAY BACK. If the Tires are 2pc, and the body sections Screw together, then YES They ARE the Lindberg Tooling too!!!! I am Betting they ARE the Old Lindberg tooling!!!! Would be Odd to have some one Re-tool American Heavy Equipment like that when they have similar Brands over there! Even IF Cat sells over there too. I would Bet the Cat rigs would be Much More expensive then more local manufatcures!!!

I have the SL. Built it like the box art Silver with Red interior. I too would lo love to see these back out 1/8 inchAt least Monogram's ` plastic axle was Stronger than JNo-Han's Though, I would likely replace it now with a Wire axle

Try this again Lost in a Disconnect Don't you just LOVE Clowns that Don't Understand Honest, Simple, LEGITIMATE questions about kits?!?!?!?!? I Stated that the Box Art Shows a Family sedan AND LOOK----- I SEE A FAMILY THERE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Father Plus THREE Kids Usually Equals FAMILY Outing!!!!!!!!! Would YOU drive Your kits in a Car like this kit builds with RACE Exhaust designed primarily to get the car the SHORT drive to the strip, then Back afterwards when Closed to "STREET" Setting?? I DOUBT it as it would Still be fairly LOUD in that car!!! Kids can complain enough on long trips, think about the complaining you will put up with, NOT Just from Them but EVERY ONE ELSE in the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did ANYONE say they would NOT Buy the kit due to the Box Art Misrepresentation??????? I Didn't, and did not see any one else say that. I did see 1 or 2 Repeat MY Question as to the Box art design!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did You READ???? (I think Yes, but Did NOT Understand WHY we asked the question) Am I WHINING If Asking the Question I am is in YOUR eyes whining then YES I MUST be. To YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, How Many people NOT members here will DUMP this kit, Or MOEBIUS kits in General if this is their First Purchase Because They Can't Build the Stock Sedan on the Box!!!????!??!?!?!?!? If I don;t get this kit it will be Due to COST factor NOT the Mistake in Box Art!! I said I would LOVE to convert one to 4dr and as an LAPD Cruiser!!!!!!!!!!!! And some one said LA County Sherriff had them too!!!!! Do I Hope they see fit to actually Offer the kit as shown on THIS box art, YES I DO!!!!!!!!!! Heck, I would LOVE to see Convertible and WAGON bodied kits from this series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next time BEFORE you call some one a Whiner, actually Take the time to READ what they say FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
