I really like that vehicle, and would love to see a model of it.

A four-door Wranger might be cool too. Around here, I see more four-doors now, than two-doors, of the lastest generation Wrangers.

unclescott58 Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Amazon just dropped this. Since I can't go into work, this isn't a bad way to fill in the time.
unclescott58 Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 4 hours and it's done! My second Franzis engine. I built their Mustang 289 K code engine almost two weeks ago. I was so happy with that I had to buy Porsche 911 motor too. I great kit. Everything snaps and screws together. No waiting for glue to dry. And like the old Renwal/Revell Visible V-8, everything is sturdily designed, and works the first time. I love it.

Is that a new release of the Heller 1928 Citroen Fourgonette? Those Amora and Heller decals look fantastic. I'd like to have some myself. I have the much older "Borden" and "Waterman" versions of that kit.

I've searched on Google and there are very many suppliers of this kit, but no one says that it is a new one! I'll have to see if I can lift the images well enough to replicate them for decals.
Tom Geiger Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 The Heller Citroen trucks are pretty nice. Very detailed and a bit fiddly like old Revell kits. I have them all, worked on the Borden’s truck
SCRWDRVR Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 I picked this up on eBay, been wanting a Jeep CJ kit and tripped across this. Probably spent a little more than I should have for it but I'm keeping social distance lol...

Hotrod 97 Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Started to stock up on paints today. I'll have to order some Testors sprays and 1/4 oz bottles online. I should have all I need for my next 6 builds after I get the online shopping done.
SfanGoch Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 I'm planning to use the Lindberg '66 Chevelle as a donor to detail my AMT Craftsman Series 1966 Buick Skylark GS. The interior upholstery pattern is similar, if not identical.
HomerS Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Wow....seriously under estimated the size of the box! Auction win and one of those that I'm not expecting to see reissued any time soon..... Not like I could sneak this one past the wife!

The 66 Chevelle is on my want list been working on getting every generation of the 60's and 70's cars I grew up with...
Mike999 Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 10 hours ago, SfanGoch said: A note about that '66 442 hardtop kit, for those who might not know: the earliest run of those kits had a wrong (standard) front bumper, with the parking lights in the corners of the bumper slots. The box art shows them in the right place, moved inwards to make room for the W-30 air scoops. But the box art was re-touched. That's the famous Wal-Mart "checkerboard" box, but the regular kit box has the same red car on it. AMT-ERTL caught the goof quickly and fixed the bumper. But there's no indication of that on the box. With a "red car" kit, the only way to know for sure it has the right bumper is to open the box. The later reissue with a blue-and-white hardtop on the box always had the correct front bumper. The hardtop and convertible kits had some differences. The hardtop engine has Tri-Power and the W-30 ram-air setup. The convertible has a single 4-barrel carb and a nice air-conditioning unit under the hood. These are worth picking up cheap just for parts. In one of its big kit sales, Ollie's had a pile of the blue-and-white box hardtops on sale for $7.99.
