As the title says. I have 30 kits I am looking to trade as a lot for a big 1/8 scale Monogram kit. 1st pic is all 30 kits 2nd pic is all the kits that are 100% complete, and unstarted. 3rd and 4th pic is what has been started on those two kits. 5th-9th have painted bodies only, and are complete, and unbuilt 10th pic is a few that may have missing parts, but the car can still be 100% built with what is in the box. The Coronet is missing the trailer, the Ranchero is missing some of the custom pieces, the Chopped-T is missing the second car. You can still build the Chopped-T on the box, and the olds is missing the racer cockpit cover, and can still be built. I am looking to trade the whole lot for a 1/8 scale Monogram model kit or mix and match for 1/16 scale kits. Started ok but must be complete. Thanks for looking

Mail call today. 1985 Mustang SVO sealed inside the box from Ebay, and a Richard Petty donor model Roadrunner, with correct decals from 1971 from Mike's Decals This was a much cheaper option than trying to find an original MPC kit on Ebay. Oh, and a Ford GT40 purchased locally.

When should we expect the new changes?

Perfect sleeper.

When should we expect the new changes?

I am using one of the VCG Resin grill guards to fit a square body by tuning it upside down and making basic mods to make it fit. I was thinking about using this one for a AMT GMT400 by cutting it in the center to give it an angled v shape to follow the shape of the grill. 5th Gen Ford F-Series Grill Guard — VCG Resins by Reese

The correct decals from Mike's decals to go with this kit. The original kit was David Pearson, but these decals allow for the AJ Foyt Dayton 500 winner.

Great accurate build. Over the last 40+ years, I have come to the conclusion that someone on set must have thought George Furth looked a little bit like AJ Foyt, so they gave his character that name.

I think this is the last purchases for a while. While model building can break out into two hobbies. Building and collecting, I have been doing way more collecting than building this year.

I for one appreciate Round2, Revell, and Moebius and others who have not only kept the hobby going but re-energized it. Over the years however I have seen cars come and go thinking those would make great models. I could never understand why the model industry ignored the Colonnade Cars from 73-77. You might find a race car version, or even 1/32 scale, but the 1/25-1/24 scale was missing in action. I would love to see more military in 1/25 scale instead of the old 1/35 scale. More wagons. Not just 2 door wagons, but real world "Don't make me pull this car over" 4 door wagons. It comes down to this: Many cars and trucks were ignored over the years. Popular cars mostly starting with the 70s cars after the muscle car era ended. Keep doing what you are doing but bring back annual kits along with filling in the gaps from the past.

I totally agree. We need more newer stuff. More 70s, 80s, and 90s stuff. Maybe more 2000s too. Even obscure stuff can be cool. How many times can you re-pop the same old cars from the 40s, 50s and 60s. I would love to see a 2004 Silverado SS, or a 04 Cadillac CTS-V, or later CTS wagon or coupe, or some of the early 70s GM intermediates. How about a mid 80s Crown Victoria, or Fairmont, or an Escort GT, or Dodge Magnum I was so excited last year learning about the release of the 84 K5 Blazer from Revell. It was about time. How about Mobius do a series of 73-90 GM trucks like they have done with the Fords. How about a square body Suburban so I do not have to use two kits to build one.

I believe Monogram started making 1/8 scale models in 1965 with the introduction of the 1965 Corvette. It has been re-popped a few times including as a Revell kit in the past ten years.

Another successful Hobby lobby adoption.

I am sure you are the only one who sees the flaws in your work. All I see is road trip!😀 Outstanding job.

Back when stock cars were just that. Great job.

Outstanding!

Walking though Walsmart today, and these three orphans jumped out at me. Of course I adopted them.

Impala SS Forum

Great build Bostic did not post much that I am aware of on the National forum, but I was aware of him, and his car. Great job with the tribute. I did notice his car does not have Euro spec glass T84 headlights, but the stock plastic north American lights instead. BLACKOUT

I am not sure why I need this, but I adopted it from a local store.

MPC/AMT kits seem to always offer more options, but sacrifice quality, and ease of build. Monogram/Revell usually go together best, while offering very few, or no options.

But they are Volvos. They are the tank of automobiles. How much damage could you do to one? Do you just drive around till they run out of gas?

Beautiful My grandmother was a car gal who owned a red and white 55 Crown vic, a black and white 56 Crown vic along with two 64 Galaxies one red, one white. Your models bring back memories.

One person's dedication is another person's madness. It is all about perspective.😉

Outstanding! I love the dedication to get it done and done right no matter how long it took.
