gtx6970 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 The yellow boxed car in the gangbusters version, is it - or can it be built stock ? I keep seeing bullitt laden body comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTMust Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I built this model many years ago and built it stock. At that time the "bullet holes" were decals that could be applied to the body. The kit was exactly the same as the seperately boxed 1928 Lincoln Phaeton by MPC (and Airfix in the UK).Hope this helps.Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edsel-Dan Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Ertl re-issued these under the AMT name in the 80's. They included all the 'Gangbuster' parts, but not the decals. I got all 3 in the series Licoln Sprt-Touring, Chevrolet Cabriolet, & Chrysler Imperial Convertible. I also have a Stock only MPC Connisouer's Classic issue of the Lincoln Roadster. AMT used the Connisouer's Classic name on their re-issue too. The Ganbuster parts include separate Bullitt rittled windows and radiators, Figures, guns, knives, hand grenades, etc. The Chrysler had a Safe, Briefcase with cash, and a second one with jewels. The Lincoln Touriing a Violin case, Alkie can, 12 clear Bottles and 2 cases for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDO Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I did the same thing a few years ago...buying pre-war kits, that is. One to avoid is a Mercedes 500 or 540 (don't remember which) from Heller. Its body has a weird split line in it, and in order to replicate chrome trim on the doors, they chromed both doors.

I almost have my Heller 540K conversion kit ready to cast. It allows you to convert that kit into a model car!! It will be a resin cast main body shell that the rest of the kit fits on. I would recommend using a Jo-Han or Italeri kit for the wheels and tires. The Hellers are beyond saving. Seriously, this kit was the worst engineered of all the Heller kits but it is one of the most beautiful classic cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
