AFXnScale is the manufacture , just sold thru a secondary outlet

[john sharisky]

Motor City Resin sells a '67 Fury 1 wagon. Their newer castings have an incredible shiny surface. I think that they polish the molds.

[jeffb]

thats not mine. i do polish my masters. it makes for a much better casting

[Rob Hall]

AF/X resins wagon is a Belvedere, I think? R&R makes a Belvedere wagon also.

[charlie8575]

I wonder if AFX stretched the chassis out to the correct 116" wheelbase?

Thanks guys.

[johnbuzzed]

But which model wagon is this? It's hard to see in the small picture...

Looks like a midsize to me (Belvedere).

I just checked the Motor City website; they offer a '68 Fury 1 wagon transkit.

Well guys. I was checking around. Found out that Steve Kohler over at Star Resin has the R&R resin wagon. Yes it is a 1967

Plymouth Belvedere. I'm thinking about getting it from him. Only wants 38 bucks and shipping. I have dealt with him before. Just

going to check on availbility.

For those wanting larger pics

There is also someone who does a bench seat but I can't remember from whom I purchased it from

[Edsel-Dan]

I want one of those.

The Supervisor drove one in the Pilot of Adam-12!!

[gtx6970]

I can't say I've ever seen that style bench seat in any 1/1 before

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD DEAL,

I PAID UNDER $20 INCLUDING SHIPPING FROM THE GUY ON EBAY, BUT THAT WAS JUST THE BODY, NO INT TUB

[realgone58]

This body is WAY off. Look at the doors and side windows. I won't be buying one. Here's the 1:1.

Just from lookin at the interior bucket you can tell it's an R&R kit. THAT'S for SURE Rays sloppy work. But,if he's the only game in town, your stuck.

ALAN, IT'S HARD FOR ME TO SEE THE RESIN BODY, I CAN SEE THE B-PILLER NEEDS TO GO BACK, WHAT ELSE IS WRONG?

I have one of these too - fairly rough. The door handles are located too high on the body in addition to the pillar discrepancies..

[realgone58]

Yes, B pillar needs to go back, rear door is too long, and look at the body at the base of the C pillar.

Why don't one of you who are so willing to criticize this, buy one and fix it ? Put your money where your mouth is.

Wow, dude, chill- not everyone has the abilities nor wants to do all kinds of body mods. Many people would like to buy and use something that is more accurate; more true to the real thing, without a LOT of additional work. Otherwise, we would all be buying plastic pellets and injection molding our own whatevers.

[mikemodeler]

This is typical of the hobby- we want a vehicle that cannot be justified to kit up and when a resin copy comes along, it gets ripped to shreds over the inaccuracy.

I see both arguments here- thankful to have something not available in kit form and yet, why bother when the body proportions are noticeably off?

Having never built a resin master or converting an existing body into something else, I can't say what goes into the process but it must take some work or else we would have resin copies of EVERYTHING!

[Rob Hall]

Some resin kits are accurate and high quality, some are not so much...this falls into the latter category. I do wonder why some resin casters even bother if they can't get the body shape and details accurate. This one isn't at the same level as a TKM resin kit though....
