Merkur XR4Ti Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) MCW makes a '76 Torino that can be used to make an S&H car. You use a Revell 70 Torino for the running gear (yes, it's technically inaccurate as the '76 was body on frame while the 70 was unibody, but it's close enough for me). You're on your own with painting that stripe, though, I don't think they provide a decal for it and in years of searching I've yet to find a template for masking it off. It really is beyond time the S&H car was kitted in plastic. AMT made a 1/18 scale diecast of it a few years ago, so I guess we can wish for it someday.

Yahshu Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 MCW doesn't provide a decal for the strip & there's some work that needs to be done to make the side windows & grill accurate but it's better than no kit at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merkur XR4Ti Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 And the S&H car ran these plates. Easy to make over at the ACME plate maker site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase-cars Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 For a 1:32 kit you can use the bodyshell by Scalextric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1zebra3 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) That would be fantastic, and very much appreciated! Thanks! I requested one ( PDF ) from him and never got it. I didn't request it a second time (made my own ). I did finally get it. Didn't know Blue Oval was making one. When did it come out?
