Renegade Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 That PU version sounds cool, is it body only or does it have interior tub and frame? Always liked the Econoline PUs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64SS350 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I believe they can be had either way, made to fit chassis of the Little Red Wagon kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gramps46 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 First Gear makes the Econoline as a diecast. I added decals to make it into the Ford Advance Vehicles support van in England. You Brits might recognize the Don Parker trailer popular in the UK and Europe for transporting racers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglia105E Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Gary..... I like the Econoline van and Don Parker trailer combination, and the Ford GT40 sits nicely on the trailer. The black and white photo of the 1:1 outfit alongside your diecast models goes together well. Today I received a delivery of some nice 1:24 scale cotton flags, comprising one pack of two France Tricolour and one pack of two Union Jack.

Tell us more about the Ford GT. Is that the Revell / Monogram kit? I'll be building that later this year. More pics please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue is mine would need some of the AMT service car trailers with the tire racks and enclosures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy124 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Can anyone imagine I'm in US car model mode lately...? I got the two 60's Vettes second-hand VERY cheap (15 EUR all-in). The '60 is slightly started on the body, but practically new. But the deal for me was more about the '63 coupe... The MPC Vette kit I bought because of its multiple building options. Last not least, the Monte Carlo snap kit is for my 10-year old son. I'm doing all I can to get him into modelling and he likes the look of this car. Now I'm annoyed I did not order another one for myself while they were on stock, as I have seen here what a nice model can be made of it with just a little work: http://www.rightonreplicas.com/blog/?page_id=1259 On the right hand side batch, some AMT customs tyres, photo edged parts for the '68 Mustang by MBM Munich, yellow and red PE side markers by Czech Truck Model, some great tyre decals by Fireball Modelworks and in the cardboard box a variety of rims by Scale Production for some future Porsche projects...

ranma Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I just got my '72 GMC I bought off ebay, And I paid just $32.00 for it. I'll be working on this as soon as the weather gets nice and above 40 outside. Decal's will be traded off later as I won't be using those.

ChrisBcritter Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Le Simca est arrivé: And I'm very happy with it! Nice glossy cream-and-forest green paint job with a well-detailed interior that would benefit from some detail painting. Side trim and emblems are tampo-printed silver and gold. There's a delicately molded roof rack to which you could easily tie down miniature luggage (or in my case, surfboards). Chassis detail is relief-molded, except for the separate tailpipe. No opening features, which I don't mind in this case. If you were very ambitious, you could saw open the hood and hunt down an aftermarket Ford V8-60 flathead for it. All in all a very nice 1/24 diecast for a reasonable price. One odd thing: It's attached to the display base by four little screws with triangular slots . My friend Tom P. just got a 1964 Mitsubishi Debonaire (!) from the same company (Hachette) and he ground down an Allen wrench to fit them.

ewetwo Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 That Simca is cute as heck. You can purchase a screw driver for those screws. I had to buy one to take my Fuji camera apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Deuce Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 PIcked up some scraps from an original GL kit on the cheap. I wanted the rear-seat delete interior bucket for a project and I didn't really want to buy a whole kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, Not sure what brand of silver it is,but it is dry. You wouldn't happen to have an original set of instructions online somewhere would you? Like to see what all is missing.
