  1. 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
  2. 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??
  3. 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
  4. 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??
  5. 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!!
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. I am trying to restore both 60 & 63 ORIGINAL's for some time now, but...... am glad they have been re-tooled!!
  9. 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.
  10. Found mine 2 years ago at WalMart. Not tried to start her yet, just looked at the parts
  11. 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
  12. I have 2 of these now. That gurney/stretcher looks too narrow to me compared to the old Jo-Han piece
  13. 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.
  14. 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
  15. 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!!!
  16. 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!!!
  17. 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.........
  18. Actually, wasn't it Moebius that showed the 59 Dodge & Chrysler Turbine EZ Kit stating they were looking in to running those?? Sure wish they Would!!!The 74 Cutlass & 59 Rambler wagon were also being looked at for re-issue I believe those are the LAST 4 Jo-Han kit tools left intact right??
  19. I had the GTO Molded in Red I THINK I still have the seats, but.... And Brother and I both had the Vette Dyno sets 3 pc track Diecast chassis Used a rubber band to launch
  20. The original run of this was my First 65 El Camino kit It was a ONE/Limited build option kit None of the custom, race, etc parts from the wagon and other issues of the El Camino were included have they copied that, or just the box art & lost parts (hard harts & 6-pack) returned?? Be nice to have all the parts in the box Still want a couple with the full camper included
  21. I have an 'Hombre" issue of this kit I built as a fire chief unit with Suburbanite tires on Stock Hubcaps, and Original 'Between the spring & frame' axle mount location I think either pins were cast at both axle plate locations on the springs, or I drilled and pinned them I found a parts lot 72 Annual with plow, Lights, siren, etc, and wagon roof to build the Fire Chief I had already started to scratch the wagon roof sides, but had not started the top Glad I found the parts kit I Definitely want a few of these now with the Fire/Police parts Back in the box!!! I also have a complete-started Autoscape issue missing the diorama NO rotators, siren, etc in that one!!! I have been stripping paint from the parts off & on since getting it a few years ago
  22. Didn't the Modified reissue '60 have the 13 inch tires But too large of a diameter rim?? The rim fit into the tire, but the bead detail was too large a diameter?? I believe I read that here in the reviews I still want that re-issue!! I have the Styline kit and the Desert Race issue too That one also had the 13 in tires I know as it had thew Stock full Hubcaps!! Still have the instruction sheet!!!!!
  23. That is from the second Keaton Batman movie!!! Both movies used the same Batmobile. AMT/Ertl added the Jet Turbine to the Mobile kit and replaced the Bat Plane with the SnapFsast Missile, & Bat Skiboat kits I got several for only $2.oo each way back when Revell kitted the Kilmer & Clooney Bat kits from the third & fourth films
  24. I don't have to download my pics from there I have them on a Thumb-Drive All I have to do is set up folders like I have there, and fill them then just close out the photosucking account. I never understood the moving of pics to a server like that and Dumping them from your own storage close at hand!! How do you replace lost pics without having the original??????
  25. Well, I have mostly Ignored these kits Until Stock versions come out, I will PASS all I just don't care that much for Custom ONLY kits!! Sad to hear that Revell is passing the Buck as it were!
