RickRollerLT1 Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 I've seen some where theres more than one copyright stamp on the chassis (EG 94 impala) or the previous one is poorly removed or filled in where you can still see it (which is seen on many models). Well, I know this topic may seem dumb to soma you guys, but i've never seen someone start a thread on this subject EVER... even on any model building fourm I've visited.
scalenut Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 I grind them off , even tho sometimes they are hidden ,,, just a habit I guess
Terry Sumner Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Make it fun...post a pic and then have to guess what model it's from!
Swifster Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Isn't this like asking a lady to lift her skirt?
Rob McKee Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Isn't this like asking a lady to lift her skirt? Ya, but even Barbie had Mattel's copyright stamped to her butt! How else would you see that?
Casey Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Make it fun...post a pic and then have to guess what model it's from! Have at it: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6

Haubenschild Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) I Have a copyright stamp on the chrome tree from the tamiya m8 that says copyright 1969 Edited January 1, 2012 by Haubenschild
RickRollerLT1 Posted January 1, 2012 Author Posted January 1, 2012 BTW Casey, the ones with the stamps on pics #2-6, what kits were those from?
Maindrian Pace Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 1981 in China? I thought that started much later. -MJS
Chuck Most Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 1981 in China? I thought that started much later. -MJS That's probably a reissue- earlier kits didn't have the made in China, but the rest of the engraving was the same.
Ben Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) #2 Whoa, too many at one time! This one looks like a Revell Chevy van chassis. Oh wait, MMI is Monogram Models Inc. Edited January 1, 2012 by Ben
Ben Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Let's go back a little further: -MJS MPC Mustang II!
Casey Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 #4 This one looks to be a Corvette Nope. The color is actually orange, though it sort of appears to be red in the image.
Casey Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 #2 Whoa, too many at one time! This one looks like a Revell Chevy van chassis. Oh wait, MMI is Monogram Models Inc. Close enough- it's the 1/32 scale Monogram custom Chevy van designed by Tom Daniel, and released as the "Streeto Vanditio" in its original issue.
sjordan2 Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Some builders here go cuckoo over leaving copyright stamps on the model. I disagree. I think it's fine to leave that on as identification of the kit, and I further believe that builders should add their name and date of build to that. We're talking about artistic craftsmanship here.
Ben Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Close enough- it's the 1/32 scale Monogram custom Chevy van designed by Tom Daniel, and released as the "Streeto Vanditio" in its original issue. When I saw the chassis rails and spring perch, I knew I had seen it hundreds of times and knew it was a chevy van but the first kit that came to mind was the Revell Mean Mudder. A couple months ago, I was on a "quest" to obtain every Monogram SnapTite van kit. I succeeded and now have about eight of the Streeto Vandito and the ambulance! That's why it was stuck in my head.
Ben Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Correct. -MJS One of my favorites! Now....if I could just remember that the underwear goes on before the pants!
Maindrian Pace Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 One of my favorites! Now....if I could just remember that the underwear goes on before the pants! You too eh? I have a diagram on my wall. -MJS
Scale-Master Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 #4 This one looks to be a Corvette I'd say Camaro. 1969 to be specific.
Ben Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 I'd say Camaro. 1969 to be specific. You know, it's funny, we both own the real thing and I'm not sure if your correct or not! LOL I'd have to go pop my trunk to be sure but I could swear that the recess for the spare is not rounded like that but rather just a recess between the frame rails that goes straight across. There is the possibility that they molded it wrong though?
