Mr Stock Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Some good ones in there Gary. Is the Charger on the left a 66 by MPC? They dont exactly grow on threes. Got my package from Missing Link and the donor. It`s a really nice transkit with photo-etch etc. Tommy its an MPC 67 Charger, I had a very lucky find in that I had a hood for this exact model in my spares stash from somewhere....very lucky. That Torino is a very nice kit in itself, Im building one of those at the moment.
disabled modeler Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Well I love glue bombs and rescuing old builtups, managed to get this boxfull for a very good price a few days ago. All were built between 1965-67 by the same young chap here in the UK, he brush painted everything in a kaleidescope of colours, and man did he use a lot of tube glue!! There's a couple of rarer bits here, an original AMT Ala Kart, an AMT 64 Tempest convertible and a Johan 65 Chrysler 300 Nice ones Gary....been looking for the blue one next to the pink car....nice to see these.
Mr Stock Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Nice ones Gary....been looking for the blue one next to the pink car....nice to see these.Thanks Mark, yes im very pleased with that Chrysler, unfortunately it's missing the stock front seats, I have no idea what I could use in its place.

Gary... I have no idea ether...? I have found finding most old original parts is hard to do most times...I have a huge batch that were my dads I have been looking for parts for years now. I hope you find something suitable for it its a nice find for us 60s big bodied car lovers.

Definitely looks like there's some good stuff in there worth saving.

How do you clean up someone else's messed up glue job on headlights or windows?
CFMgarage Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 This bad girl finally arrived after a month and a half of waiting. Got it on eBay for a steal. Came from Mexico and took forever, including a 2 week hold at customs. Original, 1982 edition, turbo 4-cyl amazingness.

That is great,it is an certain satisfaction to finally have projects complete with all parts. Revell kits are lovely,i chose this route since the price on original Mercury Cyclone has gone to the moon.

I have the original 70/71 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler build up of my dads...cant find any factory stock parts for it anywhere yet but its too cool not to restore.
Mr Stock Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Gary, that's a great find! How do you clean up someone else's messed up glue job on headlights or windows?Wth great difficulty Gergo!, the glazing units are absolutely welded into a couple of them
Dann Tier Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Very cool! Q: are you going to rebuild it, or leave it as is?
unclescott58 Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 What scale is the 502? And who makes it?

gtx6970 Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 My latest Ebay find. And original issue AMT 1959 Lincoln convertible. The fender skirts were glued on ,,but I took a chance on it anyway. Mail man dropped it off about an hour ago and I jumped right on it to see if they would come off. Sure enough popped right off with minimal damage to the body. Everything to build it stock is with it,,including the hood ornament is there. All I need to find is one stock hubcap,,,someone had glued a spinner to it and I don't think it can be fixed easily. It even came in it original box . I can now ck one more off the want list.

KeithJackson Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 I picked this up from the one Wal Mart in the area that sells anything model related. I figured for $12 I couldn't really pass it up.
AC Norton Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Sounds great Ace... it sure is, Carl....can't wait to get it here.....i'll be eating KD and drinking water for months, but who cares...lol...lol...the Ace...........
