Junkman Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Another model that's basically there, but would greatly benefit from some careful detailing.
randyc Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 When I had the hobby shop, I ordered a case of these from Ertl and could barely give them away. And yes, ALL of the Ertls of this era could use some detailing. They gave you basic clunky details.
Junkman Posted October 16, 2019 Author Posted October 16, 2019 At least they gave us models with details, clunky or not.
randyc Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 At the time, it was pretty heady stuff. I really needed this car with 8 lug wheels, as a friend would have bought the whole case had they had the 8 lug wheels. He had same real car, just blue.
Junkman Posted October 17, 2019 Author Posted October 17, 2019 A set of 8 lugs would go a long way on this, but alas. I don't know why the manufacturers are so obsessed with pov spec. And we aren't really spoilt with choice when it comes to aftermarket wheels in 1/18 either.
Rob Hall Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Their 1/18th Catalina convertible came w 8 lug wheels. The dog dish hubcaps made sense on the 421SD ht as that was a base trim performance model. I also have one of the ERTL 1/18 '62 Catalina 421SD hardtops somewhere boxed up, it has the steel wheels without hubcaps. Kind of a medium blue. Edited October 17, 2019 by Rob Hall
Junkman Posted October 17, 2019 Author Posted October 17, 2019 Wahey, I didn't even know the ragtop existed.
