Follow the directions

[GLMFAA1]

Had a little fun remembering things with the current threads, I scanned some of my old directions in search of the stuffed animals, ended up with trailers, odds and ends.

Do you remember ''NoTox', or 'Thermal plastic'? There is a post card membership application for a model club that was like a record club, did anyone belong?

take a graze down some nostalgia

Those were cool!

I have or HAVE had at one time about a third of those. Good times!

Thanks for sharing that!

Fun stuff. By the way is the mascot/stuffed animal with the '63 Pontiac a skunk?!

Yea my parents made me use no-tox. Slathering it on did nothing to increase it's ability to hold parts together.

I guess it would depend on how it was painted, Squirrel or skunk?

Note the Mannlicher rifle in the '63 Imperial - isn't that what Lee Harvey Oswald used?

Not really. That's a Mannlicher sporting rifle, and LHO used a military surplus Carcano. Very little if any relationship between the two.

Some really neat stuff. Does any of the stuff still exist in any other kits present day?

if you look next to the rifle is a sword the only thing better is the 1/25 clear whiskey shot glasses in the 64 Continental HT

It was a simpler, happier time.

I was in that mail order model club.  After the first model that I got to pick, everything went to pot.  I built only cars then and got Lunar Lander set (not interested at that time), commercial jet liner (not interested at that time), and I think a Viking ship (not interested at that time).  After that, I just went to the hobby store and got what I wanted...

I love the artwork in the old AMT kits.

It had a certain look to it.

Oh, me too. And especially the box art from 1966 to 1969.

I always liked the count down kit box art..

I have a couple of those--'66 Mustang, '69 Chevelle, '65 El Camino (I think), '61 Ranchero, and '62 Corvette. Maybe another one or two....

I joined that club too.

I remember the Lander, Airliner and Viking Ship. I started with the H-19 Helo.

Nice walk down memory lane. Thanks.
