Nice.. I've always had a soft spot for VWs of any configuration. My brother and dad had several and my Dads uncle owned and operated a '66 Kombi w/ 1600 single port w/ its governor and oil bath air cleaner still in use for the 29 1/2 years he had it. It was originally owned by the U.S. Gov. and commissioned as a mail delivery van on a Marine base somewhere near Baltimore, MD until 1971 when Uncle Fred purchased it with 69,032 miles on her. He drove it up and down the East coat sight seeing and camping. Never knew the total miles it racked up over the years. It was purchased by an individual who also owns a 23- window Deluxe. Nice to know it was saved!

Kinda went a little wild on ebay lately. Sadly I don't have a hobby shop within 100 miles. I sold a bunch of old Tonka projects and bought these.

Huh. The JDM version of the Plymouth Arrow. Didn't know anybody made a kit of that.

Here's a Doyusha kit also of the same subject. I had just bought a 1980 AMC Spirit hatchback from the dealers when I laid eyes on the Plymouth Fire Arrow.. ?

Got this today. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not familiar with this brand or any Japanese kits for that matter. The boat and trailer is what intrigued me. Box is alitte rough but all contents were complete and sealed inside.  

I'd love to have this kit, the boat looks cool and I'd forgotten about those cars. I wonder how many of the 1:1 Arrows still exist in the world?

Stopped by Ollie's for some household stuff. A couple more kits somehow fell in the buggy & I didn't realize it until I got to the register.

Picked this one up at the lhs in Fort Wayne today, along with a bunch of vintage airplane kits.

It's the same kit, pretty sure Doyusha wound up with all (or almost all) of the old LS molds. They reissue the stuff on a very irregular basis, but they're still in business.

nice find , now I need me one where did you find it

I found it at a Goodwill store of all places. 

Alittle more detail, both the car and the boat can be motorized and all motors and electrical parts are included. While the kit is 1/24, the car seems a bit small to be pulling a boat that size.

Seeing as everyone seems to be building these lately…

while walking through the local record shop today, one of these happened to fall in my basket along with a couple of paints. since i was at the counter already and my leg is sore it seemed like the best thing to do was just to buy it. it'll probably end up as a bomb lowrider

I need to remember what you said. I also have occasional leg pain when walking through hobby stores! I've never seen this kit. Looks like fun.

Another delivery from Fireball Modelworks.  I knew I never should have gone down the aftermarket rabbit hole…

Its curbside but thats ok with me. i was surprised to see as i was led to believe it was one time release  and wouldn't be out again so i had to grab it when i saw it.

The display case from Carney arrived in the mail and I picked the kit up at a local antique shop. I caught the end of the model box in a photo a vender posted.
