Note that it has a different nose from the other year Mustang IIs since they modified it in 75 to allow for a V8 engine. When I met my wife she had a 74 V6 coupe. In 79 she just had to have a new car and traded it in on a 79 Capri... big mistake. AMT and MPC both had '74-'77 kits. MPC only for '78. MPC had the promo model deal, they did promos for '74 and '75. Besides the hood and grille, '74 has the gas cap below the styling crease on the quarter panel. It was moved up for '75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewetwo Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) It was a deal I couldn’t resist Tom as I need more ways to display stuff. I’ve been working on the 32 ford pickups but kind of lost interest. Have to start something else I guess.

A build has to be fun and catch my attention or I can't stay with it long. I always manage to come back to it though. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) Just now got a glass unit for the '66 Skylark; surprised I was the only bidder since the bare body jumped to $71 in the last seconds. Also hit HL and Michael's yesterday; finally picked up some Testor's clamps with the 50% off coupon because the model selection was... what it's been for a long time. The Testor's enamel detail washes were on clearance for $3.79 each so I grabbed a few. HL didn't have anything new on the shelves; there were a few gaps but for older kits. I lucked out finding the guy who works the model section and he said they had one (?!?) '67 Chevy come in but it wouldn't be stocked until maybe Friday .

Very interesting! Last week I bought from the same guy a never-painted body from the Craftsman kit for $45. And of course mine includes the hood. I've been collecting Skylark bits and pieces for quite a while and shouldn't have much trouble getting a complete car of some sort together from it.

The shelf space at the store here was labeled "TV and movie car assortment". I'm not sure what other items Round 2 is currently producing, but when a SN '67 Impala comes off of the shelf, it may not necessarily be replaced with another one right away.

CabDriver Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Had an eBay win last week - got a BUNCH of Revell 32 parts and three of whatever those yellow 32 bodies are (an older Monogram Deuce?) for the princely sum of $7. There’s definitely an entire 32 kit in there so I’m happy with it just for that - but all the extra bits are a nice bonus!

I'm funning about the great deal you got. I'm usually the guy trying to off load a bunch of parts. Does make you wonder about the background on the treasure trove you found.

Spottedlaurel Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Monogram 1987 Thunderbird Turbo arrived today. Haven't got much interest in building it standard, but the accessory wheels will be good for another project, I might have a home for the 2.3 '4' and then I'm wondering how well the chassis (with a slight stretch) and engine from the Tamiya Mustang Cobra R would fit under there?..........

Funny thing about the three yellow Monogram bodies - one of them was a very slightly different color yellow to the other two. Barely noticeable, but just a slightly different color. Inspected it closer - someone painted it about the closest color yellow to the kit plastic that you would probably be able to find ?. Guess they liked the kit yellow a lot! ???

imarriedawitch Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Apologies if one of these has been posted before. Saw it on another site and thought it was pretty cool. It's a circuit board holder but does a decent job of being a second pair of hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
