Did Hubley make promos ?
Edsel-Dan replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
They were offered as Both Promo & Kit. I have 2 of the 60 Country Sedan, and there is NO way they were Kits, They are Warped, and even Hubley cast their kits in more stable Styrene. The front fenders are pulling away from the grill, and the window unit has Shrunk greatly leaving the lower edge of the piece showing almost all the way around! I have some parts from a 60 Fairlane 4dr sedan, and it is in a Near neon Blue. A Partial 61 Country Sedan wagon Kit is White. That Promo was Light Mint green!! I believe Hubley labeled their Fords 1/24. What makes the 60 look so big to my eyes, is that the tires are So much smaller than AMT's early annuals!! Sure wish some one could find the tooling of these!!! -
That was THE Box for Both the F100 & Chevy!!!! No Error on that one. The F-100 & Apachei shared box art from 60 to that 63! Then only the Chevy was produced as a kit til the re-issue of th e63 F-100 in 68 as the "Hunter's Special" replacing the gocart withthe "Clyde's Custom Camper" fiberglass topper AMT started Separate box art for all kits in 64. The Boat, 32 & 40 Fords got separate box art from the start. 1960, but annuals remained in generic boxes til 64. though they were different for Hardtops, convertibles, and from '60, Compacts Styline & Advanced Custom boxes were also still generic. Most of these were the Annual box in 61& 63

Does anyone remember this?
Edsel-Dan replied to a topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I was in the Revell club twicw, and even in the Aurora club too. Til I got a Knight that my mom returned. I never received another from them after that. I know that is how I got my Aurora XKE kit. I also got the Skycrane Helicopter from Both Aurora & Revell!! Almost Identical in size, but different parts layout Got 2 of the Tucumcari Hydrofoil & Growler Sub from the Rev clubs. Almost joined the Monogram one for the Malibu Police car that was first offer on the entry form. If I had know then that the ex-Aurora 1/32's were included in that series, I Would have joined! Still have some of the Mailer boxes from Both Rev, & Aurora -
Model Prices Swap Meet VS Ebay?
Edsel-Dan replied to DailyGrindCustoms's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
One day, I would love to go to a Swap meet. None around here though!!! Have gone to Carlisle Pa Car shows and found deals on Kit's & Promos!! -
I remember a shipment once. It got to Baltimore and from there Should have gone to the Local center, or even My Post office. Instead, went to New York State!!! What I should have received the next day or day after, took another 2 weeks!!! Last few times I had something coming, they did not have a tracking code.

Round 2 Purchases Lindberg/Hawk
Edsel-Dan replied to Art Anderson's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It could be possible they used the AMT kit as a master. I don't have the shortbox 454/SS Sport, only the Longbox Silverado, so can't say Don't have the Testor's kit either -
Round 2 Purchases Lindberg/Hawk
Edsel-Dan replied to Art Anderson's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That IS the Testor's kit -
Round 2 Purchases Lindberg/Hawk
Edsel-Dan replied to Art Anderson's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Do you have the Cuda labeled as either a Challenger or Charger?? Think it was only called Charger, but would have been more accurate as a Challenger I have one marked Charger. All they did was add a second set of head lights to the grill of the Cuda! And yea, I have the Benz too. Should have 5 or 6 of the Motorcycle out of the El Camino, but, so small.......................... -
Round 2 Purchases Lindberg/Hawk
Edsel-Dan replied to Art Anderson's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Those 4 1/32 kits are actually smaller than scale!! I have all of them. The Dodge Charger & Chrysler Cordoba are larger. I think the 77 T-Bird was also closer to scale, but I don't have one to compare. And Yes, that Pickup Is the Testor's Boyd Hauler. I believe some one here said all Plastic tooling went with J Loyd, when they separated from Testor's. -
Sock it to me Vette by round 2
Edsel-Dan replied to Davewilly's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
As stated in the Review, the Box only shows 4 tires Total on the bottom Also, Round2 is thinking about altering the kit to include 4 Stock Skinny's, and offering buyers the additional 2 for a request -

Round 2 Purchases Lindberg/Hawk
Edsel-Dan replied to Art Anderson's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have a few of the MPC 1/20 scale Ford Econoline van, and the Sirens, and Rotator light in the Ambulnce fit 1/24-1/25 scale fine. They did almost look small on the Econoline though That is one I would want if they re-issued it and back-dated it to one of the 70's annual versions (Or even the Ironsides) -
Hate to do this, But, That 'Package Tray' is actually the Pocket where the Soft top will go when Down, and is covered by the Boot!! Otherwise, Looking good. And for anyone interested, The Heller/Lee Boot cover will fit the IMEX/Arii body nicely!! I have both kits and tested this earlier today.

World's toughest bridge near Durham , NC
Edsel-Dan replied to slusher's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Maybe they need the sign and lights farther in front of the bridge!! Or add a Loud Siren/Horn that even states something like "You are Too Tall to pass" Or maybe a crossing gate like at a Rail crossing activated by the height sensor. Or change the lights to Red!!! -

That looks more like those Modern High Deck buses with increased baggage storage underneath. Not a Double decker, (Only one set of Windows) I saw this. Had links from both mail, & yahoo. and there was another similar at an Airport or Casino where the bus driver made a wrong turn -

Edsel-Dan replied to Art Anderson's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yea, I have 2 of the Baywatch Pickup & one of the Michigan State Police Jeep Cherokee. Only problem with either, I need to replace a few parts for the Jeep. They were mis-molded/Short-short. -
Round 2 Purchases Lindberg/Hawk
Edsel-Dan replied to Art Anderson's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Forgot something, There are some Good Hawk items. They had the 'Washington Mint' series diecast. (Probably the Testor's Lincoln mint line) I saw a few I wanted. 66/67 Charger, 49/50 Mercury Convertible Some were in Kit form too. Too bad about the 'New IMC' I really wanted the 3 car kits they were suppose to start with. -

Not a Bridge, but at the church right out my front door, we had Not 1 but 2 Drivers hit the Overhang at the front door with in one month!! One was a U-Haul Rental!! Hate to see his return fees!!! They did not knock it down, but did push it off angle. It now has Warning signs on both sides warning of the height limit!!
