Michael in Illinois Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Are they still in business? I'm looking for a 70 GTX, and I think they are the only casters doing that. Is there anyone else? A 70 Roadrunner would be nice as well. I know there are 1/24 kits out there, but I only want one in 1/25 scale
drodg Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 I think they are and their sight is active. I bought a 69 Barracuda from them a couple years ago. I received it quickly and it is great quality.
Tom Geiger Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Yes, check eBay for "Bandit" he has a lot of stuff listed there.
caine440 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Still selling. I got a really nice 68 Barracuda off ebay not long ago.
george 53 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 take the GTX emblems off the GTX and you've gotta RoadRunner!. I have Kenny's 70 GTX, and his 71 Scamp. Both are EXCELLENT castings.( you can get a JoHan RR grille from the modelhaus.)
dimaxion Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 May I suggest . Go to <rocketfin.com> , at the bottom of the page click "Model Car Links" . All resin and aftermarket suppliers are listed . All apphabetcal . I have his GTX Body , Removed the 'GTX' emblens , add a RR Grille and decals = Road Runner . Bucket seats are an Option on the '70 RR . I am looking for the Stock Interior for a 1/25 Scale Road Runner , GTX or Superbird . I have the dashboard . Thanx ..
george 53 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 John, nobody makes a standard interior for the 70 JoHan Roadrunner. Models By Hart, Vaughn Hart, sells a 69 bench seat interior for BOTH the JoHan 69 Roadrunner, AND AMT/ERTL Roadrunner. If you can get ANOTHER rear seat from a JoHan Roadrunner(I lucked out and found a few of them at the local toy show.)then you can make a front bench seat. I've done it twice now. It's not hard at all.REMEMBER the color of the Accent stripe on the front seat UNLESS it was a BLACK interior, had a contrasting color. I did mine in silver grey, as it was on the cars I modeled.
Rob Hall Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 The Bandit Resins '70 GTX is nice, I have it in my resin collection...for a 1/25th '70 Road Runner, I got the R&R '70 RR a couple of years ago, a resin repro of the vintage Johan kit, I assume.
kevin Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 we at missing link make the 70 johan roadrunner grille if that helps
Devilsnake98 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I've emailed bandit resins a couple times over the last few weeks to order some parts, with no response. Does anyone know if bandit is still up and running?
Casey Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Try sending him a PM, as he was logged in as recently as yesterday: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showuser=659
my80malibu Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 A month ago, I sent a PM to inquire about a 65 PontiacTempest wagon. Two weeks ago, I recieved it, and it is a very nice Casting.
mannyclub Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 I just bought a scamp from them and it is sweet! Going to be a drag/street car. Manny
rickcaps55 Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 I have a lot of his kits and parts they are all very nice and I have never had a problem he ships fast good guy to deal with.
mikemodeler Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Kenny is most likely very busy getting wraps and decals ready for local racers and the start of racing season. Bandit Resins is a side business for him and sometimes the demands of it are more than he wants. I spoke with him at a show awhile back and between the graphics business and resin casting, it doesn't leave a lot of time for model building and enjoyment of the hobby.
FASTBACK340 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I sent an e-mail 4 days ago inquiring about parts. Does he always take a while to respond?
martinfan5 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I have never got a reply from him, I have sent him a few different emails.
Rob Hall Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I bought his 70 Dart Swinger kit last month from his site w no problems
Randytheroadrunner Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Try Southern Motorsport Hobbies, that's where I got mine. $32 bucks.
FASTBACK340 Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I finally heard from Bandit. I never knew it cost more to ship a set of vacuum-formed window glass than an entire model kit……..
