James, hope you don't mind me answering this

Union Model in Japan used the Revell molds and issued them in some pretty nice boxes. They issued the BRE 46 510, The Brock Buster 510 and the BRE 46 240Z

Hope that helps!

Thats only the second Peanut 1 that I have ever seen besides the one I got for Christmas from my little sister when I was 10 (36 yrs ago). Very cool!!!

I may just be a sentimental fool but if your ever considering a trade or something, let me know.

Wooooooooooooooooooow Mike!!!! You prefer the exact same type of kits that I do. Fujimi/testors Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. You prefer mostly exotics and imports I take it? That's my taste but strangely, my stash consists of mostly muscle cars and very few exotics. Although I have come across a long closed hobby store locally and have been raiding his inventory of import kits. It'll even out in a few more visits. I see allot in your stash that I didn't know were produced and want,lol.

When I have the time on the weekends, I toss'em all into the middle of the room and roll around in'em hehe

I agree with this statement I roll around on the floor (literally) with all my kits and parts as I work them and set them all up for various executions of workings.... customizations, and builds ( or rebuilds) fun fun fun till momma makes me put all the kits away back in the closet!! :o

I just did a little clean up in my room. I had to store some of the unstarted/started kits into basement to get more room. I decided to take three pictures, too. Here are most of my kits, some are in different place, but this is almost everything I got. Though in some boxes, there is something completely different than what the boxart says...

Thanks, Ray! I forgot to say that most of them are started, but there are unstarted kits, too. Many of those that are started, have engine blocks glued together and painted or something, and then they have stalled because of one reason or another. When I get the inspiration again, I do more progress, but I really don't have a problem called "What To Build Next?". :lol:

Yesterday I just took the AMT '51 Chevy out (On bottom, the 1st picture) and put it in Mr Muscle to remove paint. It'll be built Factory Stock for a community build on Finnish Model Car Association Forum.

Greg, that Toyota Hiace Quick Delivery is just about my favorite kit. I can't explain why I'm so attracted to it. Have you started it? Any plans?

It's a cool kit no doubt. Something different too. It's reissued so there out there now. I have a Viagra stock car and am thinking those decals to make a Viagra delivery truck.

I've been organizing my junk lately. When I found I had a dozen Revell 50 Ford pickup kits, I took the 5 or so open ones and dumped them into a tub and marked it "1950 Ford PU Parts". I just did the same with the remains of 4 1970 Impala kits that I'm hoping to use the restore some from different years, but of that same structure. Just this past week I reduced my footprint by at least a dozen kit boxes, sorting things into parts boxes and such.

Upon sorting the cases, I realized I had more than a necessary amount of many different kits. So I put them all out in a pile and came up with near 40 kits, mostly sealed that I just don't need. So they're up for trades, or I'll eventually put them on eBay or bring them to a club meeting.

I've also been looking at all the supplies and aftermarket things that I was saving for a special project. Well, the time is now. For instance the Grand Canyon Camps logo on my new rat rod pickup was one of those things I had saved 3-5 years. So I used them.
