FASTBACK340 Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Great color for that Galaxie! Nice work, too..... 8)
Jeff Johnston Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 LOL MJ !!! I really think that you have all the old 67 Galaxies in your basement. Nice work on that one. Every time I see you with another 67 Galaxie I laugh ( or cry lol) because I can never seem to score even one...except for the one Albert sent me and the R&R kit I got at NNL east... For those of you reading this post and don't know MJ.....I think he has a genie that makes original 67 and 68 Galaxies, and 66-69 Falcons for him.... :-)
MonoPed Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Nice repair work - nice color too! I've used that color on two builds, and it looks nice in scale.. Brian
James Flowers Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 need to get model king to find tooling and put out this kit
Jeff Johnston Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 James...I uses to make the same plea !! Someone over at another board told me that the 67 and 68 Galaxie molds are long gone. This is really too bad...I guess in those days they'd reuse some of the mold fom year to year on the annual kits. So some of the old molds were partially destroyed to make the next year annual...where some of the parts were actually reused. I might have that wrong a bit but what I have correct is that I wish they'd re-tool some the 67-68 galaxies and a dozen other kits from the past !
