afx Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) I suspect it is the Boss-A-Bone. Edited October 27, 2016 by afx
Mike999 Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Looking around the Internetz, it appears that the Boss-A-Bone was the first re-issue, in the 1970s, of the original "Blue Beetle." Which explains why it has the SCUBA gear, I guess.Blue Beetle had those fine Cadillac valve covers, which as we all know disappeared from later releases. The engine was called an Olds in some re-issues and a Chevy small-block in others.Here's a list I found of the various issues, on That Other Magazine's forums:Monogram: 1929 Pickup Truck (Roadster Pickup) 1/24 scale1st Issued (60s): Blue BeetleReissued (70s): Boss A BoneReissued (70s): Early Iron SeriesReissued (70-80): ‘29 Ford Pickup; ‘29 Ford Roadster PickupReissued (80s): Pickup Street Rod
Snake45 Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 That Boss A Bone is IMHO the best box art of all of them. Something about that particular Tom Daniel painting really makes me want to build that thing!

Timok1 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Posted October 28, 2016 Thanks AFX Boss A Bone it is. Where is this data base youll use .Googled it found Blue Beetle but not Boss A Bone.

afx Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Replicas & Miniatures offers the scuba gear as a set.
