Faust Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Since it’s the end of Summer as I write this, and the days are getting shorter, I thought it would be appropriate to put up a display of my “Sunset Stripe” cars. Unsurprisingly, most of them are MPCs, since that was right up their alley! Check out this collection at the link below, and get your time machines ready! https://adamrehorn.wordpress.com/model-kits/scores-and-collections/sunset-stripes-car-collection/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Oh yeah, Revell was guilty as well. Now that I have most of these in the collection, I really do want to build them as box art kits, stripes and all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robberbaron Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I'm starting to think just about every vintage Monogram Chevy kit had some kind of red/orange/yellow decals... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faust Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 It's funny, I did leave out Bear Bait and Gold rush - they weren't present when did the photo shoot because they're already built! I use their boxes for spares boxes and forgot all about them! That 78 Chevy Sportback is awesome!!! That's one kit we need reissued immediately. Mostly because it's not even real, I don't think. That package wasn't available on a Monza, so it's an awesome Automotive What-If. I think. I remember researching it a while ago and finding something wrong with it, like the Pacer X from '78, which also never existed. So much sunset... so little time. I hadn't seen a lot of these kits before - totally awesome! I was also hoping they'd reissue California Sunshine at some point. I've seen one, but the decals were pooched, which is half the kit. P.S. What is with the side "pie chart" on that Monza??? WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I should start digging out my Sunset kits and building them as box art. 5 hours ago, slusher said: Man, I would love to have the kit...... You, me and a few others would no doubt love that kit back! Maybe Round 2 might hear our pleas and bring it back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, in the cold dark days of the winter, when light and warmth seem forever away, we should start a "sunset group build". Is that something you guys do here? As for Bear Bait, I had fun building it stock, but I would love another one to build full custom. C'mon Round 2, you can do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
