Yes, MANNIX version!! I almost had one last year, Wonder if that tooling still exists at MPC or was the "Californian" the last version offered??

I have never seen those 1/20 Decotora Trucks, but have a 1/32 version van. I need to take some pic's of it!! I Would like to find others in 1/32 or even 1/24, but not any larger.

The transporter was originally offered from Rev US back in mid/Late 80's Same as their 4 semi cab's Pete Convertional KW Aerodyne, Vovlo Globetrooter & Mercedes I have one I started when New, but never finished Now It needs new tires as all rotted out I definitely want a few more since all Rev-Germany issues started at $50.++ and jumped over 100.oo Very Fast!!!!!!

They offered several different version of that Trumpeter "Red-Flag" Limo I have seen it in Red and with an Open passenger compartment with Microphones in holder at the forward edge of the open area I want one, but they always start over $30.oo Before shipping!!!!

I have taken to re-enforcing opened kit boxes I use corrugated cardboard Depending on box size as to whether I use light corrugated, single, double, or even triple corrugated Light corrugated boxes are usually Deli Pizza boxes from Wally's and even some shoe boxes Double corrugated are usually TV boxes. Maybe other larger items The Triple Corrugated one I get are Fresh Produce boxes, like Watermelon, either out of a recycling bin, or from the store. I actually got one from the church next door when they bought an entire pallet of watermelon!!

Electra?? I think you mean Wildcat. Only 70 Buick I know AMT Ever offered Motor City Stocker series Craftsman/Curbside kit And Yes I wanted one but No place to get it!!!!!! Surprisingly, I have had 3 of the 71 Thunderbird (traded 1) Got All CHEAP off that evil auction site a few years ago

Well, I have a Convertible so don't really care about roof inaccuracies in the hardtop. All I need to know is whether the Grill/Bumper, Hood, And Primarily the Rear Bumper will fit the Old AMT Body We will have to wait until the kit is available to test that!! I have the Original Grill, but the rear bumper is missing Both upper trim pieces. I don't have a Hood or Fender Ornaments (But those might be different on the Catalina/Ventura) I had a Complete Promo that had been Brush painted, but Wesley's Attacked the plastic It softened it almost Rubberizing it The Boot cover MIGHT fit a 1/32 or smaller kit now!! The right side of the body is Very warped now!!

They Original version of this kit the GTX molded in Bright Lime Green was originally tooled in the 80's by Monogram NOT Revell So that is why it is 1/24, and detail is lacking. The Dual 4BBL setup was added to the GTX kit to make it a 2n1 about 1 year after first issued. this time in metallic Blue It has also been issued as a Superbird twice. Once in Straight Street stock format and then with Richard Petty Decals to make a Street COPY of his race car I have Both of those, the GTX & Road Runner versions Only the Lime Green GTX is Started

Now the only question to be answered, is How close to Acurate is the Original AMT Annual vs the new Moebius kit???

I know Bonney was Longer body & wheelbase, But What about Width?? were Ventura/Catalina narrower or same as Bonneville. That MIGHT tell me if rear bumper will fit an AMT annual Convertible!! Most I find are missing the upper segment like Both of mine!!!!

Wonder if we might be getting a convertible kit in a year or 2??? I Would Love to see that one come out!!! I also wonder if some of the parts will fit an Old Original AMT annual Bonneville??!!

69/70 Cougar was on the high outside my house yesterday. Saw a 66/67 Nova last week License plate was Maryland Expire 3-3-67 Cougar was light blue, Nova Marroon I don't carry my camera while Driving!!!!

Andy, If I can Manage to get any of these, I will TRADE you 8-Lugs fro Stock Hubcaps!!!!!!!!!!! I will likely have to use AMT tires though. Did Catalina/Ventura offer a Convertible?? I would Love one Wide-Whites for that one!!!!

I wanted to come, But needed some one from Norfolk/Va Beach area going and coming Up DelMarVa!!! (My car don't like to go 15 miles from home!!!!!)

Nice, I want a few of these, but they are no longer in Hobby Lobby!! Did any State DOT/SHA use Red lights?? I guess they Could, but were they classified as Service vehicles, or Emergency Vehicles??

I think the Lime Green Coupe of the Monogram 36 Did include the Convertible parts too I had one and had started it but traded it off since it was hot-rod only It DID have both top options!!

Most likely too brittle. They Should be able to list them as an Adult Classic Collectible item to get past the wire problem

The Safari is a Kit-bash--Look at the 3 different colors of plastic in the body!!!!! I did say it was From a Tan issue of the GTO!!!! Roof from AMT 65 Malibu Wagon--Gray Also look at rear fenders, Notice the white wedge shape there?? That is where I raised the fender top to line up correctly with the window above. I am hoping to some day alter 2 Good GTO interiors into an accurate 4dr interior and only use the cargo area from a Malibu interior tub. I would Love to do this with Polar Lights 64 & Rev 66, but need goor 4-5 view pic's of them to do that!! I have the pic's for the 65. Just need to remember what I did with that Magazine!!!!!

I have the "Elegance" Series of the kit. Here with its Twin Tempest LeMans Safari (From the tan issue) http://s145.photobucket.com/user/EdselDan/library/Models/Projects/65%20GTOs?sort=3&page=1

I remember 2 Sports car racers Think Le Mans/Daytona 24 Hours A Ford Cooper & Ferrari. One time offered as a 2 car kit, then separately I have had Both versions of the pair. The rear "Sports car" Tires are on my Rescue Ambulance issue of Revell's 1/32 Chevy Van!!! I too would like to see many of Revell's AND Amt's & MPC's 1/32 scale kits re-issued But, I am looking for the more Stock kits. 65 BArracuda, GTO, Mustang 2+2 (ex Aurora) SWAT Van & Nova (But that was butchered into a Custom "El Camino" type as well as the Buick & Mercury 55/56 Annuals. All the others were re-issued but not those 2!! AMT's All Stars (The Avanti is Suppose to be out this year) I hope the others will follow. 60 Thunderbird, 61 Falcon Ranchero, 63 Split-Window Vette 40 Ford Sedan. I know there are others I am forgetting. MPS 1/32 kits I would like to see again are the 77/78 Monaco Police That was Issued only ONCE and now Impossible to find!!!! The Dodge Van, Futuristic Van, 32 Ford Panel & 73+ Chevy Stepside pickup These 4 were re-issued in many sets including Star Wars, Dukes Of Hazzard Comic character (Hulk, etc), Emergency vehicle, and Atari games Are some of the Monogram 1/32 snap Car kits Back again?? I know the semi's are getting re-issued, but the cars? 69 Camaro, & Mach-1, 78 Vette, 68 GTO, ZZ Top Ford Coupe, Cobra Roadster?? Last I saw they were in Seasonal series, I got a few Halloween & Winter Clearanced from W-M and YES, Several at 50 CENTS each!!!!!!! I started buying them at 75 Cents Clearance!!!!! I would also like to see The Monogram Glue series re-issued EXP, Nova, and esspecially the 69 Charger!!!!!! These go HIGH too IF found

Will there be an issue with Standard Hubcaps coming? I just Don't like those 8-lugs. I have a set of AMT Bonneville caps I can use if not.

Here is the Photobucket Folder. http://s145.photobucket.com/user/EdselDan/library/Models/Buses/Hino%20S%20Elega?sort=3&page=1 All seats are Separate (45!!) As are all Light & reflector lenses. Chassis has separate suspension and other parts, but, there is no engine. I don't care. I just like Odd kits like BUSES!!!!! The Isuzu BXD's are Promo/Craftsman like kits.

I see that BXD-30 and will Raise you THREE More. Sadly, this one was Choppped before I got it. It Did come withthe front clip from an "Orange Blossom Special" though!!! I also have this Hino S'Elega Demo This one is also sold as an Isuzu Gala!! I have not yet found the total number of releases of these 2 Bus kits. And there are Others too!!!!!!!. All in 1/32 scale. Too bad Rev/Rev-Germany has not done this with there 2 Bus kits Offer smaller runs in different Liveries I lke those Diorama kits too Wish I had a Friend over there still!! Tried SEVERAL times to post this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that a Pic of the 72 Matador was shown, But Which Adam-12/LAPD Cruiser would you Choose first?? There were 5 Different Cruisers for ADAM-12 Alone during the 8 year run. Pilot+67 Belvedere (This one would be easiest as they have the GTX/Coronet tooling!!) First season= 68 Bevlvedere New Tooling Second + Third season= 69 Belvedere New Tooling Forth + Fifth season= 71 Satellite (Again a Possibilty based off Monogram 1/24 Satellite/GTX) Sixth-eighth Seasons= 72/73 Matador New Tooling Don't forget the Other Cruisers seen Mac, or Lt usually drove a Wagon!! Also seen were 70/71 Mercury Sedan version of Cyclone 70 Dodge Coronet 70 Satellite Wagon 74/5/6? Matador Of all, Which would be Most popular?? Also What year Cadillac Ambulance?? The picture is of Jo-Han's kit. But, What about a later one (Based off 84 DeVille Lo-Rider), or earlier one?? Round2 could decide to offer a Standard Ambulance off of Either of their 2 Ghostbuster's 59 Cadillac Ambulances!! They could also decide to do either 68 or 69 Belvedere 4dr Sedan based off their 68/9 Road Runner/GTX tooling
