amt lnt 8000 race car hauler
Edsel-Dan replied to blazefox's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Might Help to Capitalize the initials. I saw "lnt" and though "INTERNATIONAL" which Did NOT exist from AMT! Only Ertl offered International semis! Or, You could have siad "Ford lnt" Then all would Know you meant LNT/LN I built the Petty team set of this Ford LNT Wedge carrier. If I can get one for under $30.oo I Might get one of the re-issues!! -
I thought AMT Painted their Promos due to Duller Plastic used in 61 to avoid future warping!! The last year most still warped was 60, Though Jo-Han might have taken another year or 2 for the plastic formula change over. Molded color returned with the 62 model year. They Might have Painted Silver & Gold promos due to the Swirl patterns that Can Not be avoided Even Now!!

Monaco/Fury police car question
Edsel-Dan replied to AMT4EVR's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
You mean the "Radar" unit?? I have built 2 of the Duster "Smokey Convoy Chaser" and the Roof rack has only the 2 Rotators. I Did use the Radar piece as a Siren on one build, but it does Not look like the one on Adam-12 -
Monaco/Fury police car question
Edsel-Dan replied to AMT4EVR's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
But, Where can we get those Yodel Kits without paying Fort Knox Prices??!!!! I have one LAPD Monaco from MANY Years ago. Paid $12.50 for it. Now $125.oo is closer to Normal!!!! And Yes, I know I need the Plymouth grill to make a Correct LAPD cruiser out of it! I have already got a set of Can lights ready for it. But, need the siren! I do like those 2 New York Cruisers. Is that Aerodyn on the State PD a Tamiya Piece? And where did the Rotators on the City unit come from? -
Classic iron on Netflix
Edsel-Dan replied to MODELFREAK2112's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I watch those 2 on ME TV. Memorable Entertainment Television. I don't have to limit myself to the Small screen of my PC. But, It Is good to know they are up there so that at the time ME TV drops them from the line-up, I can still watch!! Though, I Do have Season 1 Adam-12 & 1,2, 3 & Movies of Emergency DVD's!! -
At times, I wish TIV & Sean Casey were Still On TV!! Miss that show. Sad about Tim, His son PAul and Partner though. Maybe glad they Aren't On TV anymore

Explanation of police terminology requested
Edsel-Dan replied to charlie8575's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Flashpoint was the one I liked. A CTV show the ran on CBS for a couple Summers, then on ION. I believe it too will end. Or at least No New episodes Never cared for any of those listed above. -

Edsel-Dan replied to AMT4EVR's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
But, being 1/24 versus the MPC 1/25 Monaco, they might be just a little bit too large!! -
Monaco/Fury police car question
Edsel-Dan replied to AMT4EVR's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I built this in its TJ Hooker issue. I thinned the rims and used MPC Goodyear G70's instead of the 60's Nascar tires from the kit. I think Missing Link Resin offers a conversion kit/body to build the kit as a Plymouth. -
Stripping Modelhaus resin
Edsel-Dan replied to LongRoofNut's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
What does Modelhaus advise to use to soak/Wash his parts with before painting? -
I have one too. It is the Illinois Police version with a few of the Stock/Original Red parts. I Do Not remember a fire department issue of the kit. I would have had a few if they Had done that!! They Did offer the 97 Crown Vic with orange County Fire Authority decals. That is the first re-issue of it. It came withthe same MX lightbar as the Caravan and since then, ALL issues of the C-V have the MX instead of the better Vision/Vector/"V" lightbar

Resin body in purple bath?
Edsel-Dan replied to outragis's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Who makes Wesley's Bleche Whyte now?? I know some resin caster's (Drag City Casting for one) suggest using it to Clean the parts, so stripping them is another option. -
