Didn't Replica and Miniatures of Maryland used to offer a 40 Ford dash that fit the Revell 32 Ford?

Does anyone know the part number or if it's still available?

I couldn't find it in the 2019 catalog I have, and I checked Craig Stansfield's Fotki album of some of his parts and found item #RH-109 from the Rik Hoving line that says the following.

"1/25 '40 Ford Dashboard w/Photo Reduced Gauges, Steering Wheel & Column, Standard & Deluxe Gauge Bezels - For AMT Kit.  Pattern & artwork By Rik Hoving"

It doesn't say it is for the Revell '32 Ford kit though.  They do show a part #RH-508 Auburn Gauge Panel w/32 Ford Roadster Dash.

Thank you, I might be remembering wrong. I had ordered this 12+ years ago before I has to get rid of everything and my wife will tell you my memory is bad...

It may be possible that at sometime Norm offered it, but I just couldn't find any info.  You can try emailing Norm directly and ask him.  I've heard that he will take an item out of his catalog, but if he still has the molds, he might be able to make the part for you.  I've emailed him and he has sold me parts that were offered as part of multiply items.  Also, if the part had photo etched parts, I know the person he was getting the parts from quit providing them, so some items he could no longer offer because of that.

You can send Norm an email at replmincomd@aol.com.  Depending on how busy he is at the time, it may take him a few days to answer back, but I've always gotten a response when I emailed him.

Ask how he is too. Tough guy, kind, meticulous, deserves the best.

Leo is right, if Norm still has viable molds he will usually pop out a couple if you ask.

I think he is on vacation right now, so give him time to respond.

FYI- the Revell 5 window kit has a 40 dash as well.

Emailed Norm, once I hear from him, I plan on calling in an order.

Good to know about the Revell 5 window, starting over, I just have one kit. I'm trying to finish one model so my wife knows it won't be like before, where I had a couple hundred kits, a ton of parts and nothing ever finished...

Looking at the instructions online for the Revell 5 Window, I wonder if that's the part I remember from over a decade ago.
