Since it's almost Christmas

[oldscool]

Can you remember all of the kits that you got as Christmas gifts over the years? I remember an AMT 53 Ford pickup, an AMT 57 Ford, an AMT Buick Wildcat(don't remember what year) and an original AMT starship Enterprise.

I never actually got a kit for Christmas... Just for my birthdays... Now I feel like I've been ripped off somehow...

[oldscool]

I started to include birthdays in my post but decided to keep it to a Christmas theme.

I remember getting the 1/8 scale BIG DEUCE 32 FORD when it first was issued. It looked great in that yellow plastic. Sad thing is I remember my brother getting mad at me and smashing it. I got in trouble for beating Him up. While not models I have received lot of model cases over the years. I prefer to pick out my own models.

I remember a Testors Lamborghini Countach 25th anniversary edition, AMT Kenworth T600A, and last year the AMT MPC reissue of the 1980 Monte Carlo with Fantasy Chopper.

About 35 years ago for Christmas I remember getting a Revell Ranchero molded in light blue with a multipiece body, and an AMT F350 pickup.

Well, I'm 45 now, but when I was 14/15 my mother went crazy and got me a bunch, some of the ones I remember are, Monogram 66 Malibu ( the red one I think ) AMT 63 Vette, AMT Freightliner COE Coors set with trailer, AMT 57 Chevy, ......and out of the car realm, a submarine. There were a bunch more, but thats too long ago. I remember spending my Christmas vaction slapping them together, only to blow them all up that summer. I wish I had every kit I ever had back, of course I'd need a bigger house to put them in.

i remember getting a pair of funny cars in separate boxes. 1 was red or orange and the other was blue. i was like 9 or 10. i seem to remember they were larger than 24th or 25th maybe 20th scale,

they had extended 'chutes that were plastic that needed to be strung with the included string/cord. i never saw another one like it. if anyone has a clue which kit/s these were please let me know. i never did fully build either kit, i remember using the chutes for gi joes.

I got my first kits and supply's christmas 5 years ago, I remember exactly (I think) what I got:

AMT Dodge D-50 2n1

AMT Daisy's Jeep

AMT '65 Mustang ( the one with like 5 sets of wheels)

AMT '58 Chevy Impala 3n1

Revell '99 Chevy Silverado

Testors paint turn-style (the orange wheel with the paints tube glue and I think 2 or 3 brushes)

Haven't gotten a kit since, but money to buy kits, because noone is quite sure what I like best because I build a little of everything.

[Brian Fishburn]

Oh jeez- I've gotten so many I couldn't BEGIN to hope to remember them all. I don't even remember what kiy I got in the club's gift exchange at last year's Christmas party.

Wait, I didn't make it last year.

See what I mean?

[RodneyBad]

Let me think about that.

How many kits have I recieved for Christmas?

0

By the time Christmas comes around,

people think I have too many already

Nah, Ya can never have too many..

Even doubles are Okay..

My immediate memory is the peterbuilt tow truck and on a seperate occasion the tennesee thunder hauler I think that is probably how i got most of my truck kits because I was often too impatient to save money to buy the more expensive truck kits . and that just reminded me johan kits were a couple of bucks cheaper than amt ,monogram,mpc and revell.at the time they were 5.00 .

I remember the AMT '49 Mercury, the Monogram 1/8 scale Corvette, AMT '68 Galaxie, AMT '69 Thunderbird and an MPC '73 Pinto. In '02 I got the '58 Edsel, which is one of the favorites in my collection. I should probably post some pics of it.
