Mark Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 That particular Ferrari looks like it could have been cribbed for a fiberglass body (for a VW Beetle pan) back in the day. It's surprising nobody did one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Traded a diecast for this one: It was on the condition that I build it as the dragster version: Might still make some minor mod's, even if it's just a change of wheels and tyres. I hope the latch and hinges on the engine lid are strong enough for when the 'chute is deployed.... Good to see the old price tag on it. Apparently Taylor & McKenna had 10 shops and were bought by Beatties in 1987. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of using it on a Dauphine body I have. And that was the last run of the old IMC VW! No telling what happened to the tooling after that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with two others I’d been eyeing. Not crazy about the new graphics on the troublemaker kit though. I prefer the original decals.

Calb56 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Received this from a member here. I'm speechless, which my wife will tell you happens very seldom. Sometimes people's generosity just stuns me and I see a bit of hope for humanity and then I go to work and recognize I have to take it individual by individual. Again, many thanks, everything will definitely find a home! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straightliner59 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Got these for under $80, shipped. I hadn't seen this issue of the 240Z that I ever recall. The GT 500 is just sentimental--I built one, back in my early modeling days--it was a big deal, to me, because I ordered it from Auto World! It might have been the Modern Classics(?) version. The shipping on both items was more than the kits! No combining that, as it was two different sellers. Anyway, not sure what I'll do with the Woody. I already tossed the glue, paint and brush. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall reading about this Jeep and someone was going to release this set at a later date. Never seen it listed but didn't look for it much after the prices of the Jeep, didn't come down much. Every pic of the Jeeps that I have seen done look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tom, didn't realise that it started life as an IMC kit. Thought it was odd being Japanese and 1/25 scale. Found a few more built/WIP examples when I searched with the IMC name. Looks like it has its challenges, maybe one to just enjoy and not take too seriously.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Asked my acupuncturist for the needles he uses. These are smaller than the thinnest guitar string I have, 0.01mm. There must be something I can use these for. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I didn't "need" these at all, but they were cheap, they make great parts donors, and as this is the last generation of "stock" cars I have any interest in whatsoever (and damm near every other kind of racing is represented in my collection already) I'll build one of 'em, for sure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Just picked up another one of these today the shop also had an OBS Chevy truck, but couldn’t justify spending early as much on that when it is just a curbside compared to this kit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
