ChrisBcritter Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 As good an excuse as any to bring back the stock Matador; too bad about the Jo-Han Hornet molds.
keyser Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Or maybe finding the Airfix/MPC/Craftmaster DB5 Bond car and the 2000GT roadster and coupe. Airfix doesn't seem to have them. No rumors. Just hopeful wish. Need '71 Mustang, goofy 3 wheeled buggies to go with couple funny chase scenes. Wint and Kidd Thunderbird too (maybe Landau though?) Edited February 9, 2020 by keyser
stavanzer Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Yeah, Mike, that is a surprise to see the Galaxie Police Car with a Bond Tie-in. But, I'll be adding that one to the collection when it arrives. Too Cool a car, not to get one.
Bob Ellis Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Most police cars were Custom or Custom 500 models not a Galaxie. The front grill must be trimmed to reflect a lower than Galaxie model. Custom 500s had wheel opening bright trim and bright roof drip mouldings, however. This kit represents many company cars during the 1970s.
SfanGoch Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 NYPD used Galaxie RMPs '69-'70. No wheel opening, drip rail or other bright trim except for the windshield and rear window mouldings.

Rodent Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 14 minutes ago, Bob Ellis said: This is a Custom model, no trim and smaller grille. Actually, the grille is the same size. That misshapen "grille thing" that comes with the AMT Galaxie includes the front fender and hood moldings as part of the grille. No biggie I guess if you glue the hood shut, but it is completely wrong if you want an opening hood.
espo Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 007, really ? I don't think "Jimmy B" would be found dead in a Ford.

This kit represents many company cars during the 1970s. It needs more than that. The rear C pillar needs to be contoured a little rounder or softer too. Of course, this flaw is a result of the kit being based on the slightly more upright and formal LTD promo body.

stavanzer Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Man, another reason to buy this kit. I like it. Edited March 26, 2020 by alexis
Mike999 Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Buy 2 of the '70 Galaxie kits and you can build this neat thing! Which I've always wanted to do. It's a 1970 Ford Galaxie stretch limo. You can see it in the 1985 movie "The Falcon & The Snowman," where it's a vehicle assigned to the Russian Embassy in Mexico City.

It also is a hardtop not a sedan. On top of being an LTD not a Galaxie. It looks like this built aside from the rims.
Againmikewins Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 Before Modelhaus shut down, I was lucky enough to purchase their LTD grille, rear bumper/trim and hood so that I could build this kit as an LTD.
Casey Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 Looks like it's out, or at least some early birds are already parting them out:
RichCostello Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 Megahobby has them listed in stock, also 63 Galaxie, and 65 Fairlane Modified stocker.
Drake69 Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Yup... mine's on its way.... along with my Monaco CHP. I plan on making them into VSP (Virginia State Police) cruisers.
