I was shocked when I found the 63 Nova wagon, 64 Galaxie, 65 & 68 GTO Craftsman kits at my WalMart. I did not buy the Galaxie, because I bought the California Drag Combo for the Trailer & Galaxie. I did get 3 each of the 65 GTO & 63 Nova Wagon, but only 2 of the 68 GTO. I got 2 of the 68 Coronet convert. there too. I wish they had added new kits this year, but sales in my store must have been too soft. I wanted to see the 71 Demon, as well as the Hardtop of the 68 Coronet. All they have left are clearanced NO, there are no more GTO's left!!

Just ordered both of these from Warren's Hobby

Hi all, I have access to an unbuilt sealed bag Aurora 34 For coupe kit and wonder if it is worth buying The kit is a 'Young Model Builders selection in a Mailing carton so ALL parts, etc are in one clear bag. I have looked at this kit in the shop since I first walked in. It is still there. Many thanks. Dan.

Did LAPD actually use that Mechanical siren by then?? I do know they used the Mercury then as we do see a few on Adam-12. But we also see the 70 Coronet, and LAPD did not use that one. Dragnet showed Fullsize Fords or Dodge Coronets for the 4 years they ran. In fact, Friday & Gannon used a '67 Ford Custom as the Homicide 'Call Car' when the Motor Officer was shot I don't think there was any reason they kept the 69 Belvedere for the third season other than it being ready Remember, They did only go with a Single year for a car twice in the 7 seasons. First year only for the 68 Belvedere, and Fourth year for the 71 Satellite. The Matador was used for the 5th, 6th and 7th seasons, while the 67 was used in the Pilot only but seen in ONE scene later during the first season (That likely being filmed FOR the pilot but only used later--Look who the Culprits are!!) I LOVE adam-12, and Know Everything about those Cruisers!! Only the 67 Plymouth and the Matador ever show the Badges & Script of the car--(look at how much silver Duct tape you see on other cars during the series. Even a Criss-Craft Boat has its name covered in one episode

How about a 66-72 Belvedere/Satellite 4dr?? (or even Wagon) LAPD and other city agencies used that body more that the Fury or Monaco Adam-12 used the 66 to 69 Belvedere and 71/2 Satellites since they were correct LAPD cruisers

Finally got this one last week. Glad the Hood side badges now have positive mounting locations unlike the original 63. But they look a little smaller to me, Have to find the original to compare them. Can always mount them lower on the fender of the original to resemble a 64.

I have another issue of the Modern Tool 57 Bel Air with the Pro-Shop photo-etched and Rubber parts trees. I got it on Clearance at Hobby Lobby, The Chevrolet 100Th Anniversary Tin collectors box edition. Back when this kit first came out, I was buying the Standard issue, Pro-Shop, & Coca-Cola issues for Only $3.33 each at Tots-R-Us!! I passed on the street machine as "Not My Thing/Not interested"

I would have loved to get either the Pickup kit or the 66 Fury Convertible, but I don't palmplant, my face or any other of those sites, So...........How does someone like me find out about them until after they have soldout??????

Hi, Hope this is the correct place for this, What ever happened the 'Murphey's Scale rulers.?? I had all 3 offered many years ago, In fact still have Murphey's Rule III in my hand (1/25 & 1/43) I had the others, I & II. 1 had 1/35 and 1/32 scales on it, and I believe the other had 1/72 and 1/48 Are these still made?? is there another source for scale rulers I may need?? Any help is greatly appreciated. Dan

Some of the Yodel kits had Both grills as well as both roof light assemblies. Sadly my original issue LAPD only had the Dodge grill, though both sets of taillights. it only had the base and Siren section of the twinsonic lightbar. I do wish these kits would be reissued as most start at $80.oo now. One bad part was the front bench seat does not have a back. I made one out of sheet stock. Also, the twin rotator lightbar is a decent coy of the Visabeam bar from the old Jo-Han 68 Fury kit, though the rotator bases are molded with the lightbar while the mounting legs are separate. this light rack assembly never got used on an LAPD car thar I've seen. I now have a second Yodel kit, the NY/NJ Port Authority, But it too is a Dodge, and has the twin rotator lightbar only. I remember Pocmoke Police having that Light bar in the 70's, and recall the siren speaker being Fiberglass Not metal It was dark gray or black. Anyone ever see one chome outside of a kit piece??

The Javelin was Jo-Han's so will Never be seen again. Remember, AMT offered Many Jo-Han kits from the 66/7 Toronado to the Javelin. I had 3 of the Mark Donahue/Penske AMX-Javelin kit and have 2 of the J-H and 1 AMT boxed 70 Toronado. Yes I would love to see AMT reverse engineer that Javelin kit, But that is Unlikely at best

I've tried to download this clip from youtube to watch later at home, but can't get winX to complete the analysis. Have they encrypted the videos again blocking downloads?? When did theyre-issue the 10speed bicycle??

I was told Moebius may not have the license to do the Chevy's. Hoping that is not true. I have copies of ALL the 67-72 Chevy's except the 'Rolling Thunder' stepside. I do have the first with the trail bike, and the black version, but Not Rolling Thunder. Also need parts to have at least ONE of the GMC Sierra Grande!!

I think the 63 Annuals were Futura Spints. I have a convertible Promo in Rangoon Red of the 63 Falcon Futura.Can't say anything about rims as she has Full wheel covers.

I am not sure if Atlantis got the Renwal Military Wrecker kit tooling. I have the Most recent SSP issue and a sticker label on the deck piece says it was made in Poland! If that is the case, I would say Revell--Germany still owns that one This was 11 years ago, so..... Yes I would love to see that Civillian version offered again

I am trying to restore both 60 & 63 ORIGINAL's for some time now, but...... am glad they have been re-tooled!!

I have that Newport Convertible waiting to be restored. Mine is in the "Metalflake" plastic. Hope these ARE coming back. Definitely want the others, and more of this Newport. Thought I saw a test casting of her in those pics.

Found mine 2 years ago at WalMart. Not tried to start her yet, just looked at the parts

Wish the 70 Super Bee had the lightbar. My original annual did. But Clear domes were NEVER included back then. Only Clear-red. Can't wait to get the hardtop. And Glad to see the clear domes added now

I have 2 of these now. That gurney/stretcher looks too narrow to me compared to the old Jo-Han piece

I would like to see some of these too. I had 2 each of the Capri, VW Beetle & Porsche 917 Back in the 70;s in MPC boxes. I still have the TR4 UNBUILT.

Hello All.I have finally found a way to get back on-line. Though Only Fri, Sat & Sun. Hopefully I can keep up with the news. Dan

I happen to have 2 of the Demolition Demon 56 Ford from Aurora. I still have 1 Near complete built (Missing 1 wheel/tire only, and breakdown bar/marker driver took down when car past driveable)!! The kit pictured above is missing a few parts wheels, etc plus, Mine had 4 Flesh colored figures included Driver, Flagman w/checkered flag, Crewman & woman ?Girlfriend/Wife of driver or fan? Also note the box called this a 57 Ford!!!

Actually, These 1/87 Ford C cab kit are VERY OLD and RARE!!! Revell tooled these in the Late 50's!! They did NOT re-issue them that I know Im fact they Sold off All their Model Rail-Road kits some time in the early-Mid 60s Heljan Concor must have Purchased the tooling at some point HOPEFULLY they still have them an dcan be convinced to rei-ssue them again Including the Convert-a-Car MoPar set too!! Revell issued the Car carrier molded in Red, black & white as in the picture of the Built model The Global Van lines kit was molded in Medium & Light Blue and white The Same cab roof as well as the trailer roof were white in the Van It also included some furniture for the 'Move' I have Both kits , 2 of the Car rack Heljan-Concor molded that one in Brown, the van in white The Convert-a-car kit included 7 61-62 Chrysler cars Newport convert, and Imperial Chryslers, Dodge Dart, Polara, & Dart Plymouth were Valiant, and Fury I THINK 2 were wagons I need to did mine out again to check which was which outside of the Newport Convert Revell issued these in Kit & Built, with bodies molded in Bright Glossy colors and CHROME parts The Heljan kit has the bodies gray and all accessory parts black except for the clear windows Anyone close to Heljan-Concor?? Please try to get them to re-issue these OLD Revell kits They are VERY hard to come by now!!!! Atmobil, You got VERY Lucky getting that kit Or maybe they are still readily available over there!!!

Tesytor's offered the SC/Rambler in the HSO series too But I am Not sure witch of those still exist That is why I only listed the 4 originally announced by the NEW IMC as still existing tools. It would be nice if the others you list ARE still viable/available, but.........
