I don’t know what else is in the kit but if it doesn’t have a phone booth I believe I will pass. No phone booth makes it the same as the little red wagon… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, full decals to do the Touch Tone Terror, Telephone Service Truck and Frisco Sleeper versions. Not to mention 4 sheets of printed display items. -Steve 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a ladder, the phone booth was the big extra. Cardboard is disappointing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garagepunk66 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Tim Boyd, any chance we will get one of your comprehensive sneak peeks at the newly reissued Touch Tone Terror kit? Not that I'm complaining, but I feel like with all the hubbub over the AMT cloned '60 & '63 Fords, there hasn't been as much attention paid to this release as it might ordinarily warrant.

Isn't it just the Lindberg Little Red Truck w/ different decals? Nothing new except for the decals, I'd assume... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there are some new (restored) parts. The canopy and some Ding-a-Ling parts too, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing new except for the decals, I'd assume... Stavanzer is correct. Round 2/AMT recreated the lost tooling for the telephone company service truck ladder rack, ladder, and some Ding-A-Ling parts IIRC. The phone booth will be cardboard in this release however. The "Frisco Sleeper" canopy panels I presume also are cardboard like the original (IIRC anyway, the last time I saw the original kit contents was in 1982 when I made a trade of my mint-in-box unbuilt kit to another hobbyist).

You know, I understand that he's under time constraints to build those kits in a timely fashion, but DAMN. Taking 45 minutes to go over various parts with a sharp X-Acto knife, and some files/sandpaper to remove the flash for this build would probably better served Round 2 in promoting the kit. Holy Smokes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLMFAA1 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Just a bit of old humor from the pages of Hugh Hefner's magazine: The cartoon of the inebriated person hanging out of the the telephone booth looking up and speaking into the phone saying 'I'm at the corner of telephone and telephone' greg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy Smokes. I agree with you but this seems to be his building style. His painting has improved somewhat over time though. Sometimes I think he is deliberately trolling the perfectionists among us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garagepunk66 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Just FYI, I found this 3D printable file on Cults 3D, of a 1/24 scale phone booth that's pretty similar in style to the one originally included in the kit, for those wishing to complete a service truck diorama https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/architecture/telephone-booth-3d-printable-in-various-scales Doozy also makes this neat little resin-cast retro payphone kiosk. https://rcworld.us/doozy-1-24-pay-phone-resin-model-kit-dz011/ Edited February 23 by garagepunk66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
