1962 Dodge Dart 440 Hardtop Jo Han C-4162 "USA Oldies" series
Edsel-Dan replied to Junkman's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
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 -

ROUND2/AMT 1969 GTX QUESTION......
Edsel-Dan replied to AC Norton's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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. -

Jo-Han 1970 Cadillac Eldorado
Edsel-Dan replied to PowerPlant's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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!! -
ROUND2/AMT 1969 GTX QUESTION......
Edsel-Dan replied to AC Norton's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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!!!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Curious that the Box Art is for a Family Sedan, while the kit is FAR from that They should Change that to better reflect the LACK of Stock Family Sedan build Option!!!!! I Hope for a Stock version to follow, as Tires, etc are Garbage to me!!!!! And Yes, I would Like to convert to 4dr, and LAPD!! A few 65 Belvedere Black & Whites are seen in early seasons of Adam-12 And I believe are Correct for LAPD!!

I wonder if the 3 1/60 scale items are Lindberg's Caterpiler kits The Pic of the Scraper looks like one I have!! The other 2 are a Large Dump Truck & Wheel Loader And Yes, I have the 3 Would Love for them to be re-issued, But by Heller?? Why not Lindberg? Did Heler end up with the tooling??

Lost this reply with a Disconnect during Post!! It Is amazing how well the 3 59 Ford kits/promo's share parts Especially as Revell's kit had a Multi-piece body!! And Yes, I used Rev parts on Both AMT & PMC restoration projects with NO modification needed!! (Except to Inset the tail lights in PMC bodies--they were surface mounted instead) Also, did anyone notice how Revell Of Germany Corrected the Skyliner kit to read "Fairlane 500" when they re-issued it in their 50th Anniversary series, while Rev-US reverted to calling it Galaxie on their SSP re-issue a couple years later?? An error started with the Skip's Fiesta series issue Did they Not do the research?? or even Look at the Marque on the rear fenders??

The Closest Full Size GN Wagon Kit offered was the ONE Time offered Jr Trophy Series 60 Chevy!!! GOOD Luck on that one!!!!! Next, And Easiest to find Cheap would Be Jada's 64 (maybe a 63 also) DIECAST. A HARD job of Bashing that mix!!!!!!!! Best bet is likely the AMT 65 or Revell 66 Malibu kit. And Yes you will have to Widen either since the Malibu was a Mid-Size while the Venture & Catalina were Fullsize, though shorter than the Bonneville & Starchief

Interesting to get a Police version out of the Stock 48 Coupe Since I have been Working on a Police version out of an IMC?Testor's kit I had Built many years ago and started a resto on!! Siren is Very close to the one I scratch built too!!!!! Curious as to what agency decals might be included. I am looking for San Diego for the one I am building out of the IMC/Testor's kit!! Will they include a third roof light for the rear?? Will lenses be clear or red??

1/25 Revell '72 Hurst/Olds Cutlass Kit
Edsel-Dan replied to W-Machine's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I want to say the 69 Camaro Pace car has the Flag Poles you want. I have 1 but would like a few more as Non-Pace Car issues don't have those parts At least I don't remember seeing them in the one Non-Pace Car kit I have -

The Left front brake rotor broke recently, so I only have 3 wheel brakes!!!! And a radiator system leak somewhere. Got to save to get it worked on, but Winter will cost More in Electricity!!!!! Last time it was announced B&N was carrying MCM, I checked, That store got 1 or 2 issued and Dropped it!!! I hope to subscribe anyway and SOON!!!
