One is a very nice 1967 Chrysler 300 promo. I got it at very good price. It's missing a hood ornament (with Modelhaus gone, anybody have any ideas on where I might be able to get a replacement?), and some slight but easy to fix damage to the "A" pillar and vent wing. Beyond that the chrome is pretty good. And she needs a little cleaning. Besides that, I picked up two Lindberg 1/32 snap kits, at a really good price. Both are unopened. Not the greatest kits in the world, but where else are you going find a round headlamp Monte of that vintage? Or a Grand Am. I'm happy to have them. nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglia105E Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Picked up not one, but two 1:24 Monogram kits of the 1931 Rolls-Royce Henley Roadster on the friendly Ebay site. One is unbuilt and one is already built. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks one way in some pics, the other in others. I think mine is light blue. I would LOVE to have one molded in the green yours looks like. I'd polish that beauty out!

I'm amazed what has become "collectible", this for example. I built the BTCC version last century, looked at what people are asking for, and about pooped my pants.

Had one about thirty years ago. Wish I had one today. I actually like the Marlin. I never understood why the real car didn't sell better. Especially, IMO, the best looking one, the '67.

Although, I much prefer the rebel SST. Tell me that AMC & Mopar weren't swiping ideas from each other! Can anybody say "Road Runner"?

Then I have to try to find parts for the other AMCs I have for family owned replicas. Edited October 30, 2018 by disabled modeler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) I love the styling, mainly the front end, of the 1967 Ambassadors and Marlins. If I could really could own one of them, it would be the Ambassador convertible. Followed by the Marlin. Some day I hope to add an Ambassador convertible promo model to my collection. Lovely cars. Some of the best to come Kenosha. Edited October 30, 2018 by unclescott58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rider Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Man there are some great finds here great stuff everyone. So after CrazyRick posted his 1/24 scale completed Road Coach. I reached out to him for find out where he got it. Turns out the guy who 3D printed his version also had a 1/12 version, so I jumped at the chance,. It's something I have been thinking about for the past 8yrs. The sad news, it is no where near 1/12, those are 1/12 scale F1 tire's. This shell appears to be closer to 1/16 scale. I am now on the hunt for the Revell 1/16 Big Bad Van kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have, they're too small. The rear tire's from the MPC 1/16 Cobra kit look about the right height, but the fronts are too tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
