Note that there is no reference to S&H whatsoever on this European issue.

That looks like S & H standing behind the car, and Huggy is cruising up to them from the left. 

[Junkman]

That's exactly what it shows.
The total absence of any reference is suspicious, because I know for a fact that the show was extremely popular in Germany.
So popular in fact, that phrases from the German dubbing made it into common folklore.

Totally by accident, I found a bigger version of that box art on a Czech site.  Just for fun, I wanted to read the street sign.  It says "Crescent St."  Which is a small residential street in the Highland Park section of Los Angeles.  A more likely hangout for Starsky & Hutch would probably be Crescent Heights, near Hollywood and Beverly Hills.

There are more people in the original artwork, including that interesting couple on the left.  And that does look like S&H at the back of the car:

 

[Junkman]

You must be wrong. Crescent Street can only be in Bay City, California...

The artwork even has the same signature, I wonder who the artist is.
The people look like from a computer game.

I will have a look inside the kit (well, partial, most of the content is identical to the earlier releases) within the next few days, Bill.

The intake manifold appears to be Weiand, however:

Thanks , that's what I figured ,,,just not what I was hoping to hear . I have a project in mind and cant decide 100% on the power train I want to use.

But I may still pick one up just for the tires and wheels .

This just arrived at my door. And I do mean just now!

FWIW it's the same as any other Hasegawa 2000 GT, it just has a resin figure of a Japanese lady in 1960s style dress.

It's still nice to see some photos. Not all of us have had our hands on a Hasegawa Toyota 2000GT. I like Shay's request. I hope Jonathan agrees to doing it. 

[Rob Hall]

As is usual with Japanese releases, the photos are on Hobby Search.  Built up pics, what's in the box, and instruction pics.

Have you got plans for the 93 Camaro..   If not I'm interested..   lol

[av405]

lol I do have plans. They're not terribly expensive on ebay. That's where I got it from.

[Junkman]

Is this the issue with the open moulded 'gills'?

Oh, that's purdy!!!

Thanks, I've never seen that Matchbox/AMT Gullwing kit before.  Complete with fun typo, "Turntable front wheels."  I think they meant "turnable."  Unless it can play 33-RPM record albums.

Does anyone have this rare version of the Gullwing kit?  The "Autobahn Police" issue, which came with a cardboard police checkpoint:

Shur et weel. 

BTW, but that Ford Aerospace logo reminds me of something. Is it the Monogram Snap-Tite logo?
