I have one of the "Cali Wheels" issue. I traded the Chrome steelies for Modifies Dualies . I also stretched the frame. to fit an 8 ft bed. But it is not getting a Pickup bed. It is getting an Open Road Mini-Motor Home body instead. Here is the build so far; Tires are OLD AMT Turnpiker Rubber Firestone Darlington Gum Dipped!! Front Steelies are from the 64 "Cameo" kit, rears are the Chromies from the 65 bashed with Deep set rings to make duallies. (Only the centers are from the Chromies!) Dog-Dishes are from the 64. Now to find the space and get back to the build!!!!

I want one!!! But last time I saw it, it was Starting at $68.oo!!! WAY Too rich for my blood. I have an Original LAPD version, but it is a Dodge & LA used Plymouth then!! Replaced the roof rack with the "Cans" from a JoHan Fury, but still looking for a Correct siren!! There are several in the series. LA, NY, NY/NJ Transit, That San Diego County, CHP........

I use a Magazine file. "Deco" brand. One for strip/rod/tube, one for sheet. Yea, I Don't have near the quantity most here do. For the strip/rod one I have wire dividers and sort them by type, then size. Strip in front, smallest to largest, then rod/tube--same way, then structural shape strips, 'L' angle, 'C' & 'U' channel. 'I' & 'H' Beams Half & quarter round, then HO & O scale dimension.

Watched Both series!! Wish they were on again. I Think the Original series is available on DVD, but not the Cartoon.

I had one or 2 old Hawk kits with that drive too. Never had a problem with the gears. it was always the rubber band popping. No was to replace it if you glued the holder into the gear!!

I got lucky before grafting 2 pickup tops together to make a sedan/Long roof for my rebuilt 72 Annual/Hombre bash Fire Department build and found an incomplete 72 Annual that had a complete Long roof, etc. I would like a couple more for another re-issue kit I have, plus I too would love to have the clip, etc for the earlier versions. I have a 68 Annual that was built Custom. I need the stock grill, etc to put it on the restoration stack. The Convertible Boot & Up top would be nice to have for it too.

I definitely want some of these when out!!!! Now just do a Modern 67-72 era Chevy to replace the lost worn out AMT/MPC kits!!! Yes I want the 67-71 Dodge too!!!! (Squad 10 was one of these!!) Some shots show 51 as one too!!!!

I have a Question. Will we get the Clear Backup bullitts for the center of the tail lights? or will they just be copies of AMT's solid clear red piece with the Too Large center bullitt in place of the Optional backup light?? Yea, I know I can grind off the center and replace it with a clear bullit, but, there are Very Few kits with a clear bullit the Correct size/shape!! I know, I have an AMY Fairlane 500 I am converting to Convertible and have added the clear backup light. I do not remember what kit the clear piece came from though. (I build taking 20+ YEARS will do that!!!!) HI, I am Finally able to post again. Lost the Net last Aug due to my Modem dying. Just got it replaced Tuesday. Had to change my email addy for here . Inbox closed my account for "Inactivity" How do I get those emails back?? I hope the Beacon (And any other emergency light lenses/domes) are Clear too! I would love that VSP combination Light/siren in the kit. Not sure if MY MSD (MARYLAND) used Fords then, but can find out. I HAVE to get a couple of this one myself!!!! My email for here is at Mail.com now.

Hi all, I am Still alive. But not sure how often I can check in. I have a dead power curcuit in my house (NOT a power Company failure) and it would just Have to be the one my PC is on!. Anyone here have Breakers for an ITE "Push-Matic" brand Box?? I know, Not Likely!. MAny Thanbks, And Hope to be back soon.

I just got an '09. I will pass on any more Do Al of these come with Rubber seats?? Why decals for the inserts? They won't adhere. Can't paint them either. Need Ultra-Flex Acrylic Paint from Badger. Not sure they still make that. Only ever saw it advertised in Model Rail magazines

I like your BDX-30 Bonnet Bus. I have 3 of them to build. Started 2, But I want to replace the decal 2-3 toning with paint. You can use these with some 1/24-25 scale models. The first one I got included 37 & 39 Chevy front clips to replace the Isuzu nose. Also, it had been Chopped. I have replaced all but the center windshield pillar. But, may just wait and replace the body For those interested, a resin caster does offer the body alone, No interior, etc with the door on the right side for an American, etc version. You supply the hood/fenders, chassis, etc

Also Beautys! Love these too. I have one of the "Decotora" Truck kits. I am looking at building it Standard, but the orange interior & Chassis do not go well with the Metallic red cab!! I do watch for these on the 'bay, but VERY Few US sellers ever have them. All are from Tokyo Hobby, Go-Boy Store, Tom-China, or other Japan/China store I can't play with those. Have to pay by Money Order, or Cash on pickup!

I like these!! Wish they were imported here!! (At least more than the 1 -2 I ever see listed on evilbay) I have 3 versions of the Isuzu BX-30 Bonnet Bus. Those are The LOW parts count kits. (Unassembled Curbside Promo!) Interior is ONE piece + dash, column, steering wheel 2 levers & 5 partition/hand rails These Larger Busses have Many parts. All seats look to be separate in them as well as more hand rails Aoshima is getting there Money's worth out of the tooling of these. I have seen at least 6 different versions of the Aero Queen, & Mitsubishi/Fuso Erga Easy Step I want these so bad!!!! They build up beautfully

I tend to keep Flash disabled altogether. Plus, I don't let firefox update I have ff-11. I Don't want beta versions. plus many times before, updates would disable too many of my Plug-ins.

OK, This is the Clip Not the Chrome grill insert then?? I thought this was from An MPC 75 Road Runner/Fury It can't be just the grill and designed to fit the MPC Monaco. The MPC kit uses 2 separate grill inserts, Yodel does both Fury & Monaco Grills as 1 pc units. This puts the Monaco's Body Color divider on the grill and Chrome plated. Not easy to paint with out marring the chrome on the grills I have a few of the Force 44o 2dr & TJ Hooker 4dr MPC Monaco's (Have the 75 Runner & 77 Monaco Annual's too) And the LAPD Yodel. All I need is the Chrome Grill Not the full front clip. It looks like later issues have Both Grills in the kits. Mine does have both sets of tail light lenses. I see the Fury, but no price. It looks like a conversion Body. More than I need for the Yodel

Is it a copy of this brand? or from the MPC kits? Will take modifying to fit the Yodel 1/24 if it is an MPC clone.

I believe the First ones I built myself were Palmer's roughly 1/43 scale cars. Mom cut the parts off the trees with a kitchen knife, I glued them together. First 1/25 I built was MPC's 70 Impala Convertble "Vampire Machine" I added the Bat on the Hood, Fangs to the grill, Web Hub caps Over-top the Stock ones. Wish I still had that one. My dad built most of my kits before that. Not very good. Ones I remember having, Jo-Han Police Fury, Deville Convertible, Ambulance, & Hearse With Coffin MPC 69 Coronet Convert "Mission Impossible" AMT 49 Mercury, Pete 359 California, Fruehauf 40 Beaded van. Of those, I still have the Merc complete!!! Only Parts exist of the rest. (Except the MI Coronet--Nothing I can find!) Thought with Tires/rims I Could rebuild the Fruehauf!! Though it is painted Copper, and has Police decals on the AMT Arrow boards.

"The King" should be a Plymouth Superbird, not a Dodge Daytona Mater would be the Fun one to create.

I have a set of "Coffee Can" lights ready for the Build, but need to find the Siren Speaker. (Or at least the parts to convert the Eltro-Mechanical one from Jo-Han's kit into a Correct Electronic Only Open Bugle type as on those Cruisers.) Remember too, that those Can lights have Amber lenses to the rear Not red as Jo-Han has always given us in the old 68 Fury Police Pursuit kit!! (At least Since the Adam-12 Era! 67/8 Pilot!) I also need to replace the Monaco Grill piece with a Plymouth one, as LAPD Did Not Have Dodges of this era I have a GOOD Tamiya AeroDyn Lightbar I could use too, but have drilled the mounting holes for the Can's!

I still have all the sets I had as a kid too!! first were just generic quantity sets. They did show ideas, Next a few Truck sets, The the Oridinal Train set, Then the Motor set. I still buy a few once in a while. Got the "Quidich Match" set not to long ago. Some of my Favorite Older sets were the Mini-Vehicles. I even have the Fire House with Engine, Ladder & Ambulance.

I have a re-issue coming. Just have to go pick it up. Most likely when MPC modified this into the 'Outcast' the lost the tool insert for the original Dome lens. Instead of retooling it, they just include the AMT Semi clear red lens tree. Cheaper! I want to say, the original red dome cap was closer to correct. Tall & Skinny But it has been a Long time since buying & building that original Fire Truck Show rod issue! The Original decal sheet did not have all the pin-stripes. I do remember that

OK, Thanks for that info. My first 65 was the Gear Hustler. Stock only parts, Open rims the Topper/Cap I did test fit my larger slide-in unit and it did not fit the 59 as well as it does the 65. I though AMT may have modified it before including it in the 65, but since I don't really remember the 59 kit before the mid 70's re-issue, I was only guessing. I am curious though. With all the re-issued of th e65 that included the topper, and the M-K re-issues of the 72 Blazer having all the Crew-Chief parts, why did none of the El Camino re-issues have the Hustler parts? Hard Hats, 6-pack bear/soda cans, etc??

A LOT!! EDSEL, Wagons, Fire/Police/Emergency Vehicles, Muscle Classic's, 40's, 50's, 60's Buses, Pickups, Semi's, Indy Pace cars, Convertibles. I have also built Ships, & Aircraft (civilian & Military) as well as a tank or 2 Lindberg's Caterpiler Heavy Dump, Scraper, & Wheel Loader, and a few Show rods

Only $14.oo a pack direct, but what is shipping??

I believe the Larger unit in the 65 El Camino kit was originally in the First issue 59 wasn't it?? I seem to remember it on the original issue box art. i have an Older issue of the 65 with it. and it does appear to fit the 59 too. I do agree, I am not sure about mounting one in an El Camino
