Yea!. Can't believe some of what I Have been able to get Cheap! I do have 2 of them and one of the Stock Plynouth, but Neither has the 6!!! Got them that way in trade! Another reason to hope for Round2 to re-issue these. They Might include all the different parts in One box! Stock & Hemi grill, Wedge, Hemi, Street & 6 engines, suspensions, tires etc. Maybe only generic drag decals, but the PARTS!! After all, they Did do that with the 60 Galaxie Starliner, & 62 Catalina SD didn't they?? And the Never released Custom 62 T-Bird version included in that re-issue!

Round 2 Purchases Lindberg/Hawk
Edsel-Dan replied to Art Anderson's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I did not get the 1/20 Gremlin (mine is a Mini-Lindy) But did get the Original issue oversize Vega. Not many more parts than a Matchbox/Hot Wheels size Mini-Lindy!! I Would like to find it in my stash though!! -

Round 2 Purchases Lindberg/Hawk
Edsel-Dan replied to Art Anderson's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yea, They did that 1/350 scale Enterprise, but that is not Automotive. Though I am a TREKKIE (Roddenberry's word) and would love one, I don't count Sci-Fi kit here unless they are also Automotive. -

Does anyone remember this?
Edsel-Dan replied to a topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I did the "Golden Tokens" from MPC. Got the "Christie" fire engine that way. Never heard about the AMT UPC code or Monogram Instruction page programs. Not sure I would have cut up my instruction sheet then anyway!! -
Round 2 Purchases Lindberg/Hawk
Edsel-Dan replied to Art Anderson's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Don't think that will happen. No New tooling from Ropund2 since the Batmobiles!! Maybe Some one Will do the SceniCruiser though!!! I would be happy with them in 1/32 like the Many Japanese Buses!! Or even Just Re-issued!!!! -
Did Hubley make promos ?
Edsel-Dan replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Still, that is enough info to know you got a Kit!! The Promo would not have been 'Unassembled" like that I have 7+ of those Hubley/Gabreal Diecast kits. all three of the 32 Chevy's, 2 Packards, Ford Woody & Roadster. Yes that have flash, More so that plastic kits (They did include a File) I built all but the Ford A Roadster, and had little trouble with them. Just like the Revell Old tool 55-57 Chevies!!! -
Mongoose '57, ("Formerly What's Hiding in all those Boxes?)
Edsel-Dan replied to rmvw guy's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
On that Funny7 car body, since the sides are so flat, I would glue some Sheet styrene behind it. .01 .015, or .02 inch, depending any interior piece that needs to fit. run it as far across the side as possible, then fill the gap with .02 or .04. I personally would use the thinner and layer it for greater strength. I have a Prestige 63 Galaxie like that. Smaller gaps, but more. I cut it apart, and used the windshield frame area to repair a Promo! -

Forgot the Vega, Think I have a Gremliln too -
Did Hubley make promos ?
Edsel-Dan replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That 62 does look like a Kit not a Promo. I have seen them shaped like an upside down banana, or Camel's Hump!!! Do you have the Instruction sheet or box for that one?? You are correct, that a Promo did not have the accessories like push bar on the front bumper or Tow hitch on the rear -
55 Chevy Convertible- 57 T Bird 1/16
Edsel-Dan replied to Fender's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I don't remember them being molded in colors. I have the 57 Chevy Convert, And had both 55's hardtop & convert, but traded them. All were molded in White. I bought the 57 Convert New in Pittsburgh in late 79-early 80 Yes AMT offered these. I think the line included 55 Chevy Coupe, Convert & Nomad, 57 Chevy Convert, 57 T-Bird, and I think a 64-6 Mustang These kits had opening doors. -

Stripping paint from resin.
Edsel-Dan replied to w451973's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Since many caster's say to use Wesley's Bleche Whyte to Clean the mold release they also say to use that for paint stripping. Not sure about getting it now though, I read on here that it had been dropped, and maybe had a new name & owner. DO NOT try Brake Fluid. it will Melt resin!!
