unclescott58 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I built that kit. Can we see it? Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordairgtar Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) These are the only pics I have. The car may be redone later as it's started to fall apart. I also have the topless parade car and another one in red plastic that appears to be the same tooling but is packaged by a different company. My model is modified to suit what I found to be more realistic with what little pics there were of this car at the time. The engine was a chrome plated lump that I traded out for a Ford engine out of the Otaki T-Bird kit. The chassis was modified with chassis parts from a 1/20th scale GMC pick up truck from Lindberg to solve the toylike problems of the kit chassis. gaping holes from a previous motorized chassis were filled in.

Atmobil Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 the weirdest kit in my stash as of today, just picked this one up at my local hobby club...... If you ever want to sell that, send me a PM I have been looking for that kit for years, seen it on ebay a couple of times and it went for way more money than I was able to pay. Maby not so weird,but weirdest in my stash. Found the picture on google. I have quite a lot of the Heller 1:43 kits including the CX, very nice kits. They are simple but build up great. I'm only missing a few of them and the one that I really look for is the Alfasud. Some of the others are such gems as the Leyland Princess, Rover SD1, Renault 30, Peugeot 403, Peugeot 604 and Volkswagen K70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I think most people know what my weirdest kit is. I see it being outclassed by the amoeba though, so I must search for that one now. There are two examples listed right now, one finished and cheap: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Educational-Products-Inc-AMOEBA-model-kit-Painted-Assembled-/171778261834?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27fec8434a And one mint and not so cheap: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Educational-Products-Inc-AMOEBA-model-kit-Mint-in-Sealed-Box-/361163034025?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5416fe8da9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarana-X Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I've seen the Crusher Joe and Mazinga UFO brain before. The Spiral Flow thingy looks similar to the hover bikes from Southern Cross/Robotech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Thanks Deano! A kit of a slime blob is simply irresistible. Meanwhile in my dungeon: Just to give you a faint idea of how stoned they were back then, behold the plastic colours: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
