I got the Revell kit for it today I am a bit surprised that none of the 3D folks have scanned the car and made a kit out of it, or at least the pieces to make one. But if they have, I have yet to see it. 3

I got the Revell kit for it today I have one in the planning stages. I've scored the (Revell) kit and gathered up some parts. It's just waiting its turn on the bench, but that won't be tomorrow. I built the MPC Milner's Coupe in the late 70s. There was a lot about that kit that I wasn't happy with. I swapped out the tires and wheels for a much better set as the MPC stuff was garbage. Those same wheels and rear tires from the JoHan '64 Dodge Super Stock are still swishing around the parts box, and will be going on my new Milner build. 1

That Milner kit was just a rehashed Switchers kit. Not even close. Same with the Dragster, it was just a Ramchargers rail with a new body. 2

Bill, I will use a Fujimi 356 for the Abarth-Carrera (have several kits + 2 junkers), the Abarth 205 Vignale will be built curbside with a scratch bare racing interior (for chassis # 102, see pic below) and wheels from Jack modeling: For the Pegaso I have the idea of turning it into the Z 102 Thrill of 1953 ( I have 4 diecast Z102S for interior/chassis etc.): But this will not be done in the immediate future, I just wanted to secure the bodies for me - a German slotracer was selling off part of his collection ...

Just need to get my Mercury done. Chris The Camaro was the first Funny Car that I built. I really liked the Blower Scoop, and I still use the decals once in a while.
Bill Eh? Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Helmut, Thanks for your detailed reply to my question. I too attempt to buy resin pieces when they are available. This was a perfect opportunity purchase for you. Congratulations.

I think my family heard me crying about not be able to paint outside in the winter. Any insights on wood models? The large Chevy box is a Kg+. I got that one for Christmas as well. I've built several ROKR kits and they're flawless. Good instructions, laser work is spot on, everything just fits. On this one, be aware that the seats are VERY delicate and the exhaust needs a little fiddling to lock together properly. 2
Falcon Ranchero Posted January 9 Posted January 9 didn't get it today, but got it a week or so ago; a 1957 Chrysler 300 in need of fixin' up. Previous owner started build but gave it a horrid black paint job 2
YellowHound Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Wanted a simple kit to build - all my other current builds seem to be very demanding. Going to build this box stock (though with a little bit of under bonnet enhancement) as the lowrider option. 4

To me it is very attention grabbing. 2
Bill Eh? Posted January 9 Posted January 9 (edited) I just returned home from Dailey Hobbies, where I met up with a great friend. As usual, I bought some kits. I sure am glad that Don Prudhomme has given Atlantis licensing rights. The Nissan becuse I'm a "Fanboy!" LOL Back in highschool I had a friend whose father was fairly high up in the Shell organization. Said father got my friend a summer job in the Arctic. He came home loaded with cash, and bought this Datsun new. It was even this colour. I have been waiting for this Moebius kit to arrive at Dailey's. Even though I haven't opened it, the box is quite substantial as it is about 50% taller than a regular Moebius kit box. Again, back in high school, I worked part time at an Esso station. When I was the closing person, it was my job to back the station's wrecker into the freshly cleaned first bay. That was my first experience with a standard! LOL Edited January 9 by Bill Eh? 10

There are several more in the series that are great too. Even if you're an old-school real-car builder, having all the right info in one go-to place is really nice.

LDO Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Internet picture, but I got one off eBay last night. Oddball scale, but what a cool bike. I saw one years ago, I believe it was in a German magazine called Streetfighters. It was a custom , long and low, with a Ducati single sided swingarm and the fuel tank was two cylindrical tubes with an angled cut in each end and convex ends. I believe those were purple. I wish I could see that bike again. 3
