When you get something new whether it's model kit, resin, decals...want to show it off? GO FOR IT....it can only help others be aware of what's out there and "stimulate" others to buy and support the hobby!

This old 'Bird landed on my door step yesterday. The model itself is a real glue bomb and not really worth fixing up but the box contained all the original custom parts including the mags and green tinted bubble and glass only available in this issue.   Also picked this up today ay Micheal's on a 50% coupon  This one is molded in light blue. I'm a little disappointed with the decals as the "gold" is actually a brownish mustard color.  |

I picked one up almost identical to this last month . I still don't have any plans for it , but it's a cool kit that I built as a kid back in the 60's ! |

I also won a big box of junkyard parts on ebay last month . Mostly a bunch of junk but in the bottom of the box in ziplock bags were these two beauties ! I need to scrounge some parts for the Red Chariot but the Little T is almost complete !  Does anyone know if Greg Holland still makes decals for these ?  |

Great stuff there Bob. As far as I know Greg still makes them but you can contact him @ vsrn@hotmail.com or he is a member here and his handle is VSRN. Not sure how often he checks in but you could possibly IM.

Picked this one up last week. Not too happy about it molded in Green but this is a great kit. Highly recommended.  This issue has the Motion decals, two complete sets  |

Yes. It will be a challenge to bring it back but it deserves a chance

Agreed. I wonder if you could use the chassis, suspensions, engine etc. from the Revell 70 Torino kits?

It seems to be sharing parts with the Amt The Cat Cougar kit. That kit was actually pretty good for its time. I'm hoping that either i can get new bumpers or get these replated. The body is in decent shape but the dash is totally incorrect. I'm going to use what i have here to fix it back up.
