Revell "70 Boss Mustang Funny Car.  The one with the funky short and wide hard plastic rear tires.  Another in my junkyard pile.  I "somehow" managed to melt the body in a few places.

..."the snap kit Camaro will include the black window edges, plus waterslide decals along with peel ‘n stick stickers to appeal to both first-time and serious modelers. The Camaro also will be molded in lime green."

So many cool kits I'd never heard of in this thread! 

So...maybe some of you will be able to ID these random parts I recently acquired (top photo only--the bottom ones have been identified already). They're a very pale green-blue (not grey--in reality they're a bit more green than they appear in this photo) and I've labelled the parts according to what I think they are--but I could be wrong!

Chris, I got that same tree in a parts bag from Model Empire along with another tree that has a base, some rocket exhausts, and a radar dish; I did some Googling and it turns out we have trees from the Polar Lights 1/1000 scale Star Trek USS Enterprise!

So far I've made use of one of the antennae - carved it down to make an ignition coil for my '64 Cadillac :lol:.

Oh son of a gun...the parts stash I acquired had some other Enterprise parts.  These little bits just looked SO much like '60s customizing accessories that I never even considered the possibility that they might be spacecraft components. Wow.

Nice detective work, that's a pretty bizarre and niche discovery, haha! Thanks Chris :)

What kit is this and when was it issued? I vaguely remember building it as  kid 50...ish years ago.

Monogram “Horn Toad”; first issued 1971.

What I found neat about it was the hot rodded Chrysler 225 slant-6?

It wasn't a Chrysler 225 slant -6......but was a slant mounted Pontiac

I stand corrected. It’s been almost 50 years since I had the kit, and that’s a long time to try to remember all the details!?
