Can you identify the source of this decal sheet?

[styromaniac]

Can't remember the source kit, I might've acquired it off a vendors table box of decals. Pretty sure it's either an ancient AMT or perhaps MPC kit. Maybe a fellow modeler who cut his teeth like I did in the early 60s can identify it. ( I used the Iskenderian parrot Polydyne decals on a recently completed 1/32 Monongram Hemi Fiat kit and one of the decals began to disintegrate as I placed the model on a contest table....shouldve coated it with clear but I tested the others prior to application and they held up well ).

I'm having problems with that too.

I had no problems posting pics of the IPMS Model show in Richmond Va in the contest section from my smart phone. All I get now when I draw from my photos is a triangle with an explanation point and a negative 200 number. " Upload Failed".

Tried posting a photo from the model contest showing the Fiat, same problem, wouldn't upload. And this website was shut down shortly last night for maintenance....wonder if that has something to do with it.

Found it on Ebay , seller simply listed it as "Static Model Wahini Wagon Cowabunga Unused Decal Sheet Vintage  1/24 Scale"....what a mouthful, but seller didn't know the source kit. This link to the image works on my computer but given the way this is going  probably won't work here.         https://www.ebay.com/itm/15380726012

I'm guessing it's an MPC sheet based upon the presence of Hot Curl carrying the surf board and the Stroker McGurk decals. I have this sheet and the back side is blank, so I think AMT can be ruled out? Mark B would likely know for sure.

If it is MPC, the BM/SP classification would point to a sports car.  Corvette, maybe?  But the surfing related stuff would go in another direction altogether...

[styromaniac]

Thanks guys...I knew there might be one or two modelers with a good grasp of our history out there. I'll PM you Casey.

I'm thinking a real early version of the AMT '65 Chevelle Wagon or something very similar with drag/surf options. The decals specifically calls it a wagon which I can't imagine if it wasn't one.

[styromaniac]

Sounds logical. At first I thought it had to be a Woodie kit but the drag racing type decals didnt seem to fit, the scenario you cite makes more sense.

Looks like maybe the MPC '65 Corvette?

[styromaniac]

Wow Casey...looks like you nailed it! Thanks again for your assistance.

No, Mark knew it. He's good. ?

[Mark]

Good guess maybe...

I thought it could be a 'Vette, but I never had an MPC '64 or '65.  I remember another sheet I have that I thought was from a '65, because it had '65 license plates that I used on something else.  Now it will bug me, what kit is that one from?
