keyser Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Sweet, Ferguson still listed, Vivastella back for nice street rod, new vans, and best yet, 1/72 707 Air France.Just bought one sealed off ebay for $59, reissue should be similar. Great kit. Agree, nice but expensive year.
Young iron Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Renault Estafette, YEEEE-HAAAAAA ! The Estafette was the equivalent of Chevy Vans till 1980. These vans are as popular as Citroen HYs, but less famous abroad. The 2CVs are limited editions offered during the 70s and 80s. Iconic as well. But the real, amazing idea, is the Gendarmerie Renault 4L and Estafette pack. This has been the basic Gendarmerie pack for decades. Gendarmes replace policemen by the french countryside. Just like Sheriffs. It means that pack smells Camembert and Côte du Rhones. Last detail, but not least : associate a Gendarmerie 4L, a Gendarmerie Estafette, and an Olive green Mehari, you'll get the perfect Gendarme de St-Tropez background !
Earl Marischal Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I like the look of the 1950s Talbot Lago F1 car.steve
Edsel-Dan Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I wonder if the 3 1/60 scale items are Lindberg's Caterpiler kitsThe Pic of the Scraper looks like one I have!!The other 2 are a Large Dump Truck & Wheel LoaderAnd Yes, I have the 3Would Love for them to be re-issued, But by Heller??Why not Lindberg?Did Heler end up with the tooling??

ChrisBcritter Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) The Estafette wasn't imported to the U.S., but a few snuck in through Canada - this one, with '50 Buick taillights, was burned up for an episode of Adam-12 (images from imcdb): Apparently they were supposed to come here (brochures were drawn up and a dealer in Kentucky even had an ad) but the plans were cancelled at the last minute. Edited January 28, 2016 by ChrisBcritter
Junkman Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Estafette also allows for some interesting conversions.
Rob Hall Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) I see a few cool looking vans......you'll have to help translate the rest!1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter..the vans look like fun, and the Talbot-Lago GP car (I assume that is a reissue). Edited January 28, 2016 by Rob Hall
Richard Bartrop Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 The Talbot-Lago probably is a reissue, and if it is, it's a pretty nice kit. Easily one of the nicest front engine open wheel racers you can get at that scale.

Atmobil Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I must buy those and I need to buy double of them. One for me and one for my son, he will love it
horsepower Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 That Talbot F-1 looks promising, and the two Renault rally looking kits are kind of interesting.
