Cool Parts

[Edsel-Dan]

Depends on the can/bottle

AMT's 60-65 Annual Ford & Chevy Pickups had the

ones under the Monogram Beer Wagon barrels in the tray

The 64 Galaxie was ONE kit that had the Long spout cans

in the bin next to the Pick up versions

I am betting some of the other Modified Dirt Race Annuals had them too

 

The red nascar can in that bin looks like either an Ertl piece out of the Diecast

Impala Kit (Petty Or Waltrip)

or from the Monogram Deluxe (Plus) kits with tool chests, driver, etc

 

As for Animals, the 59 Buick was one to have the rabbit

 

Anyone not wanting the Mini-Boxes, can send them to me!!

I will gladly pay postage for them too.

What kit or kits have the oil bottles and cans in it? Seen them on ebay for sale 13 for 24 dollars plus shipping and they was on a kit tree...

I have no idea which kits they came from. They came as part of the parts from e-bay. Don't ever remember buying a kit with those in it.

I just got a set that has car show stanchions, an easel, trophies and a mirror to put under the car.

I bought that same lot 2 weeks ago for like 3.50 plus shipping.  Very reasonable seller...

I have to check that out. Great selection of widgets.

Those Chrome parts were first in the 4 "Customizing" series kits 49 Mercury

50 Ford Convert

66 Wildcat & Thunderbird

 

they were also in later 'Prestiege' kits!!

 

Bumper Jack & base,engine display base,  plus tools might be from 49 Merc too

 

Not 100% sure on TV, Tape deck & Phone

Maybe 65 Lincoln??

I remembrr some of them.I have some of the animals and the lights and electronics.I like the scale boxs ...there fun to me.I like all the extra's they put in there.....Chris

Speaking of animals, I would kill for a decent police german shepherd or rottweiler that would scale to 1:24 or 1:25 and fit inside a station wagon or truck. All the ones I've seen look like they are all happy, tongues rolling out, etc..., and not fierce crime-busting canines.

I seem to remember the eBay listing said 66 Thunderbirds. I put the stanchions on my engine display stand but I can't get the "rope" to drape right. I'll have to try something else.Wow, that was an ordeal, it took three tries to get photobucket to uplaod it without jamming.

Try looking at model railroad stuff. What is it, G scale, that's close to 1/24-25?

Also look at 1/24 dollhouse stuff. Found you a german shepherd here, but not sure if it's 1/24 or 1/12.

Yeah, I saw that one too, not sure what size it is either, and it still looks "happy".

G-scale stuff is the right size for 1:24 and 1:25 as I've bought a few things in that scale before to add to my models.

Thanks for the assist!

I saw the dog cages in the link. That gives me a few ideas when I finally build a wagon.

[gasser59]

Pat - try a small chain instead of rope for your stanchions. Will drape much better.

Or wet the thread really well and shape it. It should hold its shape after it drys.

That was going to be my next move.  Now it WILL be my next move.

Maybe this will suit your purpose: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-25-G-scale-Doberman-Pinscher-dog-figure-/171774819942

Nice dobie. I may have to get that one....

 

Thanks!

Here is a picture of the oil bottles. I have never located what kit there in...

 

[Mike999]

Don't ignore foreign kits when looking for neat accessories.  e.g., this AOSHIMA 1/24 scale Subaru Sambar High Roof 4WD Microvan. It comes with all the stuff on the box art - set of SCUBA gear, a surfboard and a rubber raft in a roof rack.  It also contains some great van interior parts, like a TV set and stove. 

This is a "kei" van, so it is tiny, even in 1/24 scale. I found one fairly cheap on eBay.

My Texaco kit has the old paper style cans in a rack. Not sure where the others are from.
