dukeaholic Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 I've had this model for years. I'm not sure what scale it is as I bought it already assmembled. I was trying to tear it down to paint it but there was alot of glue used on it. I also put in 1:25 scale car in the pic to show the size. The last time I saw this kit available was over 10 yrs ago.
Smart-Resins Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 If I remember, that is 1/18th scale??Could be built up to a real nice truck.A buddy had one and shortened the frame and put a old chevy love body on it with a blown 427 in it as that was what you drove for real at comps.When he started that thing up(the real one) the whole valley knew it!!!
Smart-Resins Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Well, sorry.I admit it.I was wrong.It is 1/16 scale!! Here, look at this http://cgi.ebay.com/REVELL-7441-SWAMP-MONS...tem190086324024
crispy Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 That is the 1/16 scale Revell kit of Giant Tracks. I built one back when I was about 15/16. I bought another a few years ago for nostalgic reasons and will eventually build it. Here is the second rendition box art for that particular kit: Chris
dukeaholic Posted February 27, 2007 Author Posted February 27, 2007 COOL!!! Thanks guys! I had the swamp monster back when I was 10 yrs old. Sadly, it got broke and was trashed. The only thing I have left of that one is the hood. I hope to rebuild my yellow one someday.
Smart-Resins Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 One of those with dual wheels would be PHAT!!
Abell82 Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Didn't they also make an 8? Camaro in 1/16th scale?
dukeaholic Posted February 27, 2007 Author Posted February 27, 2007 An old friend of mine has a 1:16 80's something Trans am.
Smart-Resins Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 If you are looking for new parts, this one just listed on ebay today http://cgi.ebay.com/1-16-scale-GIANT-TRACK...tem130084691609
Scale-Master Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I have a couple of those Monsters, still in boxes, and a couple the Big Bad Vans, and the Jeep CJ... Nice imposing size for those larger vehicles. The 1/16 Camaro & Firebird came out in '82, and were revamped into an '87 IROC and GTA a few years later. I built most of the box art models of that F-body series back in those days...
