I Definitely would LOVE that Fire Truck!! Hope to find one at the regional Hobby shop over here. But... Car don't like to go 1/4 that far!!!!!! And Yes it Does look Correct for the era!! Also would Love the Ambulance to be 1/24 too!!

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??

I was told this kit is showing up in MICHAEL'S Craft & Hobby!! Massapequa, N.Y area! I Hope the one near me has it 40% Coupon will help in my getting one (more)!!!!! Does this mean other Moebius kits will follow?? And that Hobby Lobby will catch on and carry them too??

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

True They are INVISIBLE!!!!

I am Glad to hear that the Old AMT Bonneville Grill & rear Bumers fit the Moebius Ventura body so well That means the Moebius Parts Should fit the AMT Body equally as well which is what I need!! Can't believe how high the rear bumper piece alone goes for nowadays!!

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??

The Closest to a Front Drive Riv I know of is the Old Crud TKM Resin 83!! And YES I still Want one it was the Indy Pace car!!!!!! As for a Tatra car, I know of a few 1/25 kits Not sure on price as at least one is out of Production Maly Modelarz did one, and a few other PAPER Kit producers did TATRA cars!! Not sure on a 76 Buick either Monogram did the 80's Grand National & GNX I have both And AMT issued the Special Wagon Twice. 61 & 62. Again, I have both ONLY difference is the grill!!!!!!

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

I Hope I can check a regional one down here However, it is 30 miles north, and right now my car does NOT like to go 10 miles!!!! And I Hate to drive at Speed. 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!!!

Forgot one Both Brother & I had. The Nova/Chevy2 Wagon with Trailer!! I have NO Idea where any of the parts for Either are now!!! I forget the Name of that Wacky Racer right now. I think Gruesome Something I Never had that one Only Penelope's & Dasterdly's cars

I still have some of those Oldies I buolt Back then, But Two I Wish I did still have MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE Coronet Convert!!! & Vampire Machine 70 Impala Convert!! Have the grill from the Impala, NOTHING from the M:I Coronet! I think I have a 67/68 Chrysler 300 and a similar issue Cadillac Convert, as I have some of the Hubcaps from them that were in the old Toy box from my old bedroom I am not sure where many of the models went when we moved in 71. Would love to find the Complete builts of my Wacky Racer's kits. I have most of Penelope Pitstop's Compact Pussycat, but Not Dick Dasterdly's Mean Machine! Also had 4 of the AMT All Star 1/32's, but Not sure of some Have the glue-Bomb's of the 63 Vette & Avanti I did back then, but,..... Wish I could remember the other 2 Was a Cereal Mail in offer!! Another was a Fireboat from Tony The Tiger (I THINK that is where I ordered it from!!) I do have the upper deck piece, but Nothing else So how did I save the Turista Turismo, El Ranchero Grande & Boondock Bomber builds???? I have seen many here call these Craftsman kits, But the Turista was the complete kit With Engine!!! Maybe Some of the Customizing parts were deleted, but, it was NOT a Curbside/craftsman type kit!!! Always thought the Dual-Quad aircleaner was 2 piece, but instructions I have seen from Original Annual sow it as One piece!! I believe we got the Boondock Bomber just after seeing the Pilot episode of ADAM-12 Big scene in that was the Pursuit if a 59 Buick!! We also got the red, & Police versions of Husky's Matchbox size 59 Buick too!!!!

F60 Fronts!?? WHY So SMALL??? I built that kit back then and Fronts were G70"s!! Will Have to change that on any I get!!!!!! Same with the last issue of the Daytona, AND Rev's 68/69 Chargers F series tires look SMALL in the wheel wells!!! They Have ,or at least Had, the G70's as late as the early 2000's The 72 Chevy Cheyenne came with them!!!!! I do still want at least 1 But Will trade out the front tires!!!!!

I buy Nail Polish Myself Whether my Sister is with me or not If I see a Color I like I get at least 2 bottles But, I stay with those $2.oo each or Less!! I Just Can't see paying $4-10.oo for Less that a Half Once of color!!!!!! And Yes, I use emery boards Not just on parts, but on broken finger nails too!!!!! I Have told people asking that they are Car Paint for Models, and they accept that

I Like the Idea, but would be hard pressed to join in. You are correct in that the Monogram/Revell R does have the Sleeper cast as part of the cab I had to fill in the rear of the cab when I bashed one with the Pumper kit from them I removed the sleeper to use on another project.

I thought that option was still in the Blue ertl issue I converted to a Convertible Way Back when. I Do remember it I had a Early issue that still had the Styline style parts, Display spotlights, etc .That one definitely had the wire axle for the front if you did not want to make the working steering I have a few of those Rubber Firestone Darlington Gum Dipped tires I am using 6 on the 65 Chevy Stepside kit I am using the Model King Mini Motor Home body on. I only had 1 show cracking. a couple were sanded to Bald/Slick status, and NOT usable for the pickup!! I got the first of those on a Built Original issue of the second tool 58 Impala. I think the Original issue of their 53 F-100 had them too Not sure what other kits of that time had them

Two of the better Parts sellers are Vintage Model Parts, and Floyd 426 RT They both start the parts low. But Yes they do go HIGH many times!! I have bought Many parts from Floyd. Got a 62 Galaxie Convedrtible box with some parts. Only Bid!! I don't care about the Custom parts, But I got the Chrome tree with FOUR Mint Stock Hubcaps/Wheel Covers!!!!! I have a Turista Turismo that Needs those!!!! I have 3 Fender Ornamenbts, and 7 Dog-Dish caps for the 63 F-100 All from Floyd, and all at LOW cost!! I have lost the hood for a 61 Bonneville MANY times from Both sellers as they Never stay below $15.oo or so I believe I can get a Resin one from Modelhaus for less than Half that!!!! I will still watch evilbay You CAN get a Decent, even GREAT price on that Hard to replace part. You just have to hit the Correct auction!! I have 6 BOXED Aurora ALF 900 Pumpers All bought for less that $35.oo each And at least 3 of those have Extra parts!! I think I have 2 Complete Extra Cabs between all 6 kits Yes Many have Loose Parts, But NONE were Incomplete!!! Also I got a 65 Galaxie Convertible in a box lot of Builts. Paid $20.oo something for the Lot!! As every one here knows, Set your Price, and Laugh at the Fool that pays More than you want to!!!

I have the "Elegance Srires" issue of this GTO Yes Molded in Yellow And with Electric Blue Windows!! It could Not be built Stock out of the box!!! Rims were "Johnson Bridged Hub Mags" only (That is what they are labeled on the box!!) Also Stock exhaust manifolds were not included Only the custom Headers. I took the stock parts from a Tan plastic Ertl issue Then decided to turn that one into the Safari Wagon so had to get another to replace the parts I took for the Wagon conversion!!!! I am not sure how I will complete the Elegance issue It still has the sunvisors on the windshield header, so a Good convertible is possible here, while All after have lost them after the Modified Stocker wreck!! Interior is Not as well engraved as the original either. It is usable, but could be better

Same here I have a Model King issue of the 72 Blazer I am making 2-wheel Drive Can't Find that one All the others including all the matching 67-72 Chevy/GMC pickups are all together!!!! But that One, NO!!! Also a Jo-Han Cadillac Ambulance I did as a High-top is misplaced And another I converted to a Sedan Would Love to find them and show them off

I just checked Both H-L J & Hobby Search and Neither have the kits I got "NO Match Found" on both using the title of this thread It Should have given me the kit links, but, No

I would Love the Police version and the first shown with the Woody decals I Think this wagon Was sold here, but might still have worn the Datsun name then. Though not sure on model name and yes, I wish it was 1/32, but......................

Surprising since the H/O stripes were actually Gold Metallic on the original issue!!! Glad I have one!!!

what about laying a piece of clear tape over the letters while still on the fret, then cut them off then lay them in place using the strip of tape. Unless the spacing is not accurate on the fret of course
