    Mail man dropped my 1966 dodge power wagon w-300 4-door resin buy. Not a bad piece, hood needs some work to fit better for my tastes . Now, I just need to work out a plan to do something with it besides sit in a box on the shelf above the workbench.

    No ones ever copied it that I know of. ( probably be a loosing proposition if they did. The Johan kit is not terribly difficult to find . ) Wasn't this question just asked a few weeks back ?

    Doubt there's any real way to say with any kind of accuracy. Not to mention the Touch Tone Terror version I built mine from an unbuilt TTT version probably 10 years ago. With Fred Cady decals . I also have an unbuilt original issue Little Red Wagon put away ( not worth anything even close to what it once was. )

    I tried to paint mine in a color similar to the molded clear orange car. Its one of my favorites to date . A very simple , and obviously proportionally challenged kit. But it looks killer in the display case .

    agreed. I got lucky....bought my convertible 2 years ago. And paid about $65 for it. Since then I see them selling in the $80 - $100 range. Seems like a hardtop builder regularly sells for over $100 .

    I'm lucky I guess. I have two local hobby shops within a 15 minute drive. 1st one has mostly RC stuff but with a pretty decent model selection. After several conversations. I got him to start stocking Tamiya paints. The 2nd one is mostly train stuff. But he also has models and supplies. With a real good paint selection . I try to use them both as much as I can.

    Fyi. A convertible will be cheaper than a hardtop.

    I built the Fireball 500. Trailer is still in the box. not sure what or if I'll ever do anything with it
  9. gtx6970
    Missing link has it and its really REALLY NICE
  10. gtx6970
    If you have one. Take a good look at the up top from what I believe is a 1965 Impala top. ( top came with several builders I bought a few years back ) Ive got one sitting on my 300 vert promo and it sure looks like it would be a pretty easy to make work. Ive tried it on several cars and it fits the 300 the best . I can get pictures this weekend maybe

    Friend of mine is looking for a early - mid 70s example
  12. gtx6970
    Does a model exist to do a stock Opel Kadett . preferably 1/25th scale
  13. gtx6970
    I may not be the best one to answer this . But I would build the S+M car. Then grab another one to do the 2nd S+M car. ( There was a SS car and a MP class car ) Then grab another one to do replica stock . But Ive got probably 4 or 5 Johan Superbird kits so my opinion is tainted somewhat
  14. gtx6970
    Ive got a Johan Bird in process. And using the AMT chassis under it as well. Someday I'll finish it . Its supposed to be a replica of a good friends old car
  15. gtx6970
    Just my opinion. But I personally think the AMT body better represents a Charger. with a little bit of work on the nose to body fit. IMO it looks better than the Revell kit does Something about the exaggerated door scallops on the Revell kit makes it look weird , especially in a light color The AMT kit , I built a looooong time ago. ( its starting to fall apart now ) And yes it does have the newer AMT chassis under it

    I'm casually looking for a decent 67 Cougar. When I do ck one out they tend to go for more than my wallet is going to open up for. Ive toyed with the idea to convert the funnycar body combined with the 69 interior and chassis to give me the basic look I'm after.,,but it not real high on my to do list , ( I used to own a 67 390 auto car. and maybe some day want to build a replica of that old ride )
  17. gtx6970
    Absolutely love it
  18. gtx6970
    VERY nice, Ive struggled since this came out to buy this kit or not. Every time I see one built I think I want one, ( and I Never do import cars ) Love the color combo
  19. gtx6970
    The only way to get a superbird is either a Monogram 1.24th scale. Or long out of production Johan kit which is the only source for a1.25th scale. Be warned...your piggy bank will take a hit for a Johan kit.. Ps, about the only shared item between a 68 Roadrunner and a 1970 Superbird , is the windshield
  20. gtx6970
    so your buying second hand. Or at Ollies . Thats about the only way you'll be $10 or less
  21. gtx6970
    $10 kits disappeared years ago. UNLESS your buying second hand, even then its near impossible to get a mint unbuilt anything for that.
  22. gtx6970
    hey, back of the line buddy
  23. gtx6970
    Thanks, I was leaning towards the Fujimi kit. Right now , I have nothing. I don't need opening doors and all the fuss. It looks like the Gunze kit is out of my price range for a display model. As once its done, ( wont be anytime soon anyway ) it will go in the case and probably never to come out again . Thanks again , time to go prowl ebay
  24. gtx6970
    Good will or something similar. I took file box full of car and model magazines to a swap meet a few weeks back Offered the whole box for $10 . not one bite. My next trip near a good will they will go there, or I'll drop them in the recycling bin at my daughters school.
