MyBradKeselowski Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 It is made by a company called YODEL.They are from the 1980's , I think, They came in 5 versions 2 different Fury's and 3 Different Monaco's How's the details and quality of the kit, compared to say MPC/REVELL?
spkgibson Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Here is the series of kits, I'm missing 1 of the older versions on the bottom of the stack and one on the top,The CHP is the one I'm missing for the smaller boxes, And the Los Angeles City Police in the older ones on the bottom .
spkgibson Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 How's the details and quality of the kit, compared to say MPC/REVELL? They are your typical almost toy like kits from the Japanese companys from that era, The Fury grill and taillights will fit into the AMT/MPC Monaco bodys with little effort, You just have to make the body fit the grill. Very easy to do. I just buy these kits for my Monaco Collection I have, Plus the art work on the newer boxes are great.
ChrisPflug Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Any plans on improving/ casting the Yodel 77-78 Fury grille? Almost bought a kit just for the grille not too long ago- have a bunch of 75-78 B body projects....

If I can get someone to do it,I'll send it to them, I'll contact a few people , And see what I can come up with, I don't know how to do it myself.
gunner Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 I got a few of these at Hobby Lobby in the bracelet section, seem to be the proper size for 1:24. Yes, I KNOW it is a boat but I spent 9 yrs on 2 of them and this is the first one I have found of it.
spkgibson Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 I got this in the mail today, A Mint 1971-73 MPC Dodge van grill to make my 74 One of those years,I'll probably make it a 1973 as thats the year I was born, The 74 Grill will go into my Street Connection 78 to make it the Tradesman ,Not the Sportsman ,The only difference in the grills is the Tradesman looks like the basic 74-78 style, The Sportsman has a square medallion in the center.The final cost for the grill was $3.99 with shipping off of e-bay, Heres some photos .
Adam deCoste Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 nick i got 2 of those 75 chevelle kits and well there not very good, if u want to make it look good, sit on all 4 tires and fit well it will take some hard work
MikeMc Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I got a Canadian Care package from my buddy DAN today....hand cast wheel and tire set for a project I'm planning....These are better than store bought...Thanks again!! :lol:
LDO Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 WOOHOO!!! Extended X and Y axes for my Sherline mill (still manual control).
Car Crazy 81 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I'd just came back from Michaels today and bought these items: Revell 57 Chevy Bel Air 2n1 #85-4251 Revell 64 Chevy Impala SS 2n1 #85-2574 Rub n Buff Silver Leaf Craft Smart Acyrlic Black Paint Pen-Touch 1.8mm Silver Marker I'd been wanting to buy the 57 Bel Air for awhile now thanks to getting a Michaels gift card for Christmas i'd finally got it.

Now you just need to master some clear and amber parking light lenses for use with both of those grilles. At one time I had both a '71 and '77, both wearing the early aluminum grilles:
Casey Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I picked up a 1/43 AMT '68 Camaro and '69 Chevelle on eBay, which arrived today and I promptly disassembled and washed: ...and a 1/16 scale Tootsietoy Ford Explorer 2-door, from which I robbed these Keystone Rogue-like mag wheels:

Casey Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Thats a great Idea ! Thanks for the perfect reference photos, I like the shade of blue on the one in the background . It was more of a charcoal metallic color. Here's a better pic: I think this grille would be the perfect candidate for a photoetched piece, since the 1:1 grille is polished and annodized aluminum, too.
ZTony8 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 There's a hobby shop here that marks down some kits about 40% every January so this past week I've picked up the Tamiya Ferrrari FXX,the revised version of the Tamiya Lotus 99T,a Tamiya Carina ED Autopista and a Fujimi Mini Cooper.
Railfreak78 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I won these at our once a year auction for Moonlight Modelers. 1/16 Petty Nascar and 2 - 1/43 scale rally cars. I want to try my hand at some different scales. The only thing I wanted and did not get was a Pikes Peak shirt to go with a hat I got from our club prez a little while back. Oh well I'm happy Here is a pic of the meeting too for Nifty Fifties.
Mr. Moparman Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I just bought me a Lindberg '64 Dodge 330 off of Amazon.com for $10.00+free shipping
2000-cvpi Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Went to a local thrift store and bought a AMT Mack R685ST truck, 18 bottles of older Testors paint, another AMT 1958 Chevrolet Impala and a small box of parts. All of it was 9.99, which was fine with me.
