which 34

[Jon Haigwood]

I am new to resin bodies and the one I have (Flintstone 34 ford phantom delivery) calls for a Revell 34 Ford #7467 kit as a donor. Is there a list some where that will tell me what models were reissued under a different number ?

There seems to be a few different Revell 34 Ford Kits released over the years but I am not sure if there is any others besides #7467 that will work for me. Some kind of data base that would list which model numbers had the same basic parts would be helpful

The reason I ask is that #7467 seems to be a bit rare and it's price is a bit high.

Thanks

Jon

You have numbers transposed in your kit ID. You mean 7 6 4 7 I think, not 7467.

7647 is the Thom Taylor 1/24 scale cabriolet version of the much older 1/24 Revell '34 Ford, which has been offered in many releases over the years.

Any of the 1/24 Revell 1934 Fords should have a chassis that will work for you. Be SURE you look ONLY at 1/24 kits, as Revell has more '33/'34 Fords in 1/25.

The ZZ Top version can often be found cheaper, as it came out in several issues and it's based on the same tooling as the cabrio.

Here's a thread discussing some of the relative merits of '34 Ford kits. Unfortunately, the thread that had the most info on the kits you need seems to have disappeared.

Yes I did transpose numbers. I checked the box and it is a 1/25th scale so any Revell 34 ford in 1/25th should work.

Thanks

update: the 7647 kit they say to use is a 1/24 scale but the box says it is a 1/25th I just checked the body with two of my AMT 34 Fords in 1/25th and it is definitely too big so it must be a 1/24 and the 1/25th on the box is in error

Just for clarity, this is 7647. It is marked 1/24.

It is derived from the original '60s tooling 1/24 '34 Ford that Monogram brought out, before Revell and Monogram merged.

As I said, ANY of the 1/24 Monogram or Revell '33 or '34 Ford kit frames should work for you, though you MAY have to modify the suspension slightly. I don't really see how the cabriolet interior is supposed to work in the "phantom delivery". I assume some scratch-building will be necessary there too.

The exact kit that is recommended is currently available on ebay for $19.99 plus $8.99 shipping.

There is also one starting at $8.95 plus $7.95 shipping. That's about as cheap as you're gonna get it.

the Flintstone box says 1/25th scale so that makes it somewhat confusing

Well, I wonder if Jimmy didn't make that one to fit the AMT/Ertl '34 Ford kits, which are 1/25 scale?

Post #1 states it calls out a specific Revell kit #, but says the kit is 1/25...when in fact that specific kit # is 1/24...as explained above.

Definitely to big for AMT's 1/25th kits
