Edsel-Dan

Agreed, I would love to see that 60 Chevy Wagon back. And the 60 El Camino too!

I logged in one day to fin d the change. Found the Fix button and returned to Old format. Got a Questionare asking why. I explained and they said thank you for your input. Got an email the other day saying that they were Forcing the change to all. I am looking at other locations to maybe transfer all my albums. Flickr seams most likely, though I do have an UploadingIt account. Use to have a webshots, but I believe they completely closed or sold.

Work table?? What's that??? I ain't Got NO place to work right now!!!! HELP!!!!!!!

I think those Skis, etc were in ALL of the Jo-Han Eldorado's I have only a couple of th e70, but several sets of the Skis. I have a few of the 71-76 Eldo's.

AMT offered the 53 in both Glue and newer tooled SnapFast/Retro-Promo. I do not know about the Snap, but the Glue was said to have the trim running downhill from front to rear. or the rocker panels were lower at the front making it look that way The AMT 55 may be based off that 53 kit. Good Luck on this. The Monogram/Revell 1/24 53 does have parts to convert to a 54.

I believe ebay member rdsxfan offers a resin Ford Shortbox that is Not from R+R. I am not sure if it fits the M-K issue/era ford pickup though. He offers the 62 in both long & short too

I would Love to see the SceniCruiser, or GMC Fishbowl 40 footer. I rode one of those Fish-Bowls almost every day from Neville Island to Downtown in 79-80. For School bus, How about an Old Crown Firecoach built??? Fire Buff builders would love that, it would give them the cab front for Many Crown Pumpers & trucks!

Did Tonka ever offer a Styrene Kit?? No, I bought this as a Separate Kit and Assembled it Many years ago. (68-72) The Bow tip is a Chrome piece and not yet attached. There Is an engine under the cowl between the second and third seats. I almost want to say it was a Lindberg kit, but I do not believe that it is. I wish I still had either the box or instruction sheet so I would have the info on who's kit it was.

Wheat's Nostalgia use to offer the Edsel Roundup and Ranch Wagon. But at some time stopped selling kits and only sold completed built versions. Anyone know if Joe is still active?? John Heyer in New York also offered resin copies of the Revell 57 Squire, but again, I have not heard if JR Toy & Hobby was active. Same with Bob Swartz in Savannah, Mo.

My Scale rule shows 18 ft 3 inches. I can try to take a Pic of the scale ruler & model in Daylight. Pocomoke Had a Mid-Mount ALF 100. Got rid of it Before I could get pic's & measurements.

I believe they were Promo offers from/Through Ford dealers or Ford Corporate

The Merc looks Like Steve McGarrett's Cruiser in Early seasons of the Original Hawaii Five-O (Jack Lord) This could be Danno's car James McArthur, Not Scott Caan

Here is a Boat kit I built MANY Years ago. I do not remember the brand. I don't have the instruction sheet or box anymore. I remember that it had a piece of string/to represent rope, rubber tube for the exhaust pipes. I looks like ti falls between 1/25 & 1/32. There Is an engine under the cowl. The figures from a Revell 59 Ford Almost perfeectly fit the seats. They are sitting there now Anyone recognize it?? It did have a Full Sliding Cabin, but I lost those parts. I believe I got it in th elate 60's (68-9) to early 70's (70-72)

I have the 58 Cadillac in a Heller box. Like you said, Detail is Soft on the body. Worse, the chassis is set up for battery & motor. The rear axle is cast to the chassis, but the lower suspension arms are separate, and like the Imex/Imai kit has Real metal coil springs!!! At least it has detailing decals for under the tail lights/backup lights.

Question on the Rev "Show & Go" Boat. Is that the same as the "Hemi-Hydro"?

From the rear it is either a 63 or 64. Jo-Han offered both in kit form. The 64 Coupe & Convertible DeVille's were included in the USA Oldies series. I have both.

When my mother had one, the hospital is so small they used one like this. But not on a semi-permanent pad like the one pictured. It travels around the state, so only parks just outside the Emergency Room. Semi cab was still attached too I think. It was a few years ago

Got rid of the kit right after finding the Cheap unusable seats in it. Gave it away to get rid of it. I will wait to get a Revell version now. I wanted the Promo versions in the different colors, but not anymore How do you prevent the chemical reaction there?? I wrap rims with foil before mounting the tire to block it Can't do that with the seat. or have they Finally found rubber/vinyl & Styrene compounds that do not react over time now??

Yes that Is the Drum set I have seen. Would like to get one myself.

Maybe if they were white r gray I would have, but since they are black. Trash they go!! or I should say, went!!!

This will be the Third issue of that Rescue Blazer and Fourth of the kit itself!! New Tool. NO Way It was re-issue only a few years ago as a 75 Not showing, but including all the rescue parts & decals Identical to the first Rescue issue. If they were going to re-tool it, why not make it a Full Glue kit??

You offering to supply a link/purchase location?? I have seen these on evilbay from RecoveryChannel, Tokyo Hobby, & TomChina only!!! I would love to get one or both of those kits!! How about a Drum Set, Banjo, Saxaphone, etc?? Bad news, The Banjo& Sax were at least $125.oo++ EACH!! and over $20.oo more shipping

Looks like that is a Yes!! I had one in a Jo-Han box. No idea where it might be now

Steve is correct. AMT issued many Jo-Han kits from 66 through the mid 70's That is only ONE of the Jo-Han Javelin/AMX offered in an AMT box They also offerd the Penski Mark Donahue Nascar/Trans Am kit. It was available both in stores and through Coca-Cola. I have 3 for Proof!! 1 bought in a JJ Newberry's the other 2 ordered from a card in a carton of Coke!!! AMT also boxed the 66-68 & 70 Olds Toronados. I have the 67 & 70 in AMT and 2 70's in Jo-Han boxes AMT also used the same Blue-Steak Stock car tires in their nascar kits that Jo-Han did.

Do all of AMT's Challengers have Rubber/vinyl seats?? Where can I get Styrene/resin replacements?
