Atmobil Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Maybe there is a thread somewhere on this subject before and if so I'm sorry for not finding it.The questions is this: What trophies are available in what kits?The reason for asking this is that I need trophies for the trunk in my 57 Chevy "Return to Macon County" build.So, does anyone got any knowlege on what trophies you could find in kits and what kits are they in?
disabled modeler Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Doesn't the 62 Electra kit come with some...?
Atmobil Posted July 30, 2015 Author Posted July 30, 2015 Thats great! Thank you very much for that picture. Anyone got pictures of other trophies? I need to get some that look at least similar to the ones in the movie (or some that I can modify to look like the ones in the movie)
Krazy Rick Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) I started a thread in the wanted section awhile ago & a few guys came through too !!! http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/92515-125-kit-trophies-help/#commen - The winged lady trophy is in the Roth Outlaw kit, there is also a larger version in the Uncertain T kit, but that would be much trickier to get.... as far as the ones that have a car topper, there were/are many available in the kits.If you go through the AMT instructions on the Drastic plastic site, you'll see a bunch there.

Roadrunner Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 I do recall that thread, Rick, thanks for saving me the search. I have the Revell Outlaw sitting here and have been contemplating snatching the trophy from it, but I hate to open a kit just for that, as I know I'll never actually build it.
my80malibu Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Whats that above the trophys, it looks like some kind of under cabinet flourescent light.

Maybe I should make a wanted thread aswell. Edited July 31, 2015 by Atmobil
Bob Ellis Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 All the ERTL AMT kits had those trophies in one kit, or you had to buy several?
my80malibu Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 The Revell 49 merc has some trophies included in it.
Edsel-Dan Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Only a few of LAter issue Prestiege kits had that Trophy tree includedthe Original 4 or so had the base/pen holderI think the 63 Vette convertible had the Drag Strip parts partHowever ALL of the "Customizing" series had themThey were tooled for those kitsthe 4 kits of that seres were 49 Ford Club Coupe, & 50 Convertibleas well as the 66 Thunderbird & WildcatSome regular issues kits may also have included the Chrome trophy tree too.But, I am not sure which ones
Crazy Ed Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 I stand corrected. Daniel thanks for the information.
Atmobil Posted July 31, 2015 Author Posted July 31, 2015 Thanks for the info. I did have the Prestige version of the 69 Corvair once but as I remember it that had the penholder base in it.
