Dave Van Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) How about just a box top that was never made but the kit was??? Not 100% on topic....but an excuse to show it! I liked this version......but Sean's spin won out over this one I did. Maybe next time!!! Edited May 9, 2014 by Dave Van
vintagedragcrazy Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 i have the amx too picked it up last year at a swap meet for $15 unbuilt in the box. vince
Daddyfink Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Ayeee, cool model Jesse. The cool part is that Henry "The Fonz" Winkler autographed it for me at the Roadster Show a few years back! How cool is that!? Aayyyy!
Randytheroadrunner Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I wish they could recast that slant six from the '60s. I think it was Renwal?
mr moto Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I've never seen this before but there's one on Ebay right now if you gotta have it!
dimaxion Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I am not able to see if I had posted here prior to this . The Aurora double kits are grail for the Vintage builders . The rods , not so much as are the Stock Versions . The Stock only versions were Mail Order kits Aurora sold . The 1911 Chevrolet is coming in Resin from Kevin at Missing Link . The Amplicar is coming from Ma's Resins along with a '39 Gram Sharknose . I had the Winnebago kit I built . Anyone mention Hess Petroleum Promotionals ? I have the Training Van (missing the side door) . This thread did get much mileage . I am wanting the Chrysler Boat . Did not the Fonzie kit offer two versions . The Triumph pictured here and later a Harley . The HD was out around the time the Episode of ; "Fonzie Jumps a live shark" . No figure . I don't remember the scales either . Thanx ..
Daddyfink Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I know that Revell did the 1/25th bikes under the guise of the movie "Grease 2" and one was a Harley, but I do not remember another Fonz bike.
Tom Geiger Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I wish they could recast that slant six from the '60s. I think it was Renwal? It was Revell. I have one, I could photo the box art. A bit o'trivia. Chrysler actually shipped Revell a slant six engine to use in designing the kit. It wound up sitting in Jim Keeler's office. Tex Smith had come in, and the subject got to a car Tex was building. He was hung up on the engine, and Jim suggested he take the slant six out of his office. So Tex installed it in the XR6. Then AMT did a model of the XR6, producing a model of that slant six that came from Revell.
Tom Geiger Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 The cool part is that Henry "The Fonz" Winkler autographed it for me at the Roadster Show a few years back! How cool is that!? Aayyyy! "The Fonz" is no longer cool. He now sells reverse mortgages to his peer group!
Mark Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I hated the thought of this thread going away, so, here is another oddity for the books! All you need now is a shark tank...
disabled modeler Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 What would you bite on? Which posting are you referring too? Scott Aho The 69 to 74 Chevy Caprice and the Chrysler boat....or most of the ones listed here on the tread....basically your post. I myself would be too happy to see many of the old MPCs,Johans,AMTs make a comeback from the 60s and 70s era.
GLMFAA1 Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Here are some Motorcycle kits I acquired several years ago. The built kit is a Zundapp greg
philo426 Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Would this 1/32 Lindberg Dodge be considered rare?
unclescott58 Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Would this 1/32 Lindberg Dodge be considered rare? Yes. I would say so. Scott
philo426 Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 So painting it would be a bad idea,right?
unclescott58 Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 So painting it would be a bad idea,right? Why?
Modelbuilder Mark Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Do not confuse rare with "tho shalt not build". Enjoy it the way YOU want to enjoy it. If you want it painted, go for it!
Tom Geiger Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Would this 1/32 Lindberg Dodge be considered rare? The Lindberg 1/32s of cars that weren't done in 1/25 scale such as the Chrysler Cordoba / Dodge Charger and Ford Granada / Mercury Monarch cars are sought after by a bunch of us, but not by the majority of modelers. Thus, they may be hard to find but when they are found the prices aren't all that expensive. There are more mainstream models that go for many hundreds.
Dave Van Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Don't forget the Lindberg 77 Thunderbird in 1/32 too!!!!
Edsel-Dan Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) I have that Charger too. And the twin/Modified Cordoba. Built Way Back When! The white one is the Charger (Painted afte r the plastic yellowed badly) , the Green, the Cordoba. (only the Vinylsection of the roof is painted here--Plastic polished otherwise) The one trailer is from MPC's 1/32 73+Chev Stepside pickup The Flatbed is Scratch-Built Oh Yea, I replaced the small Lindberg tires with rubber/Vinyl ones from IMC 1/32 Nascar kits that were converted from Slotcar bodies. So they are Not correct for a Street driver!!!! But, They Do Fill the wheel wells better!!!!!!!!! And, Yeah, I think I need to re-paint the Charger!! Edited September 25, 2014 by Edsel-Dan
