There's a Facebook seller named Hobbiesthreetwoone that seems pretty reasonable. I got this Tommy Ivo dragster at a great price with shipping. Brand new. The El Camino was an automotive swap meet find. I paid 10 bucks for it. I haven't been in a Ross lately, but I'm pretty sure this was bought quite a while ago.   |

Well Bob the kit was delivered today! The kit was all there, still in the factory sealed bag but the box and instructions look as though it had been stored in a very damp place for years. On checking the dates on both it's 1965! Here is a photo of my first build of one of these in 2016.  You mentioned changing tyres but I found a matching set of wheels and tyres. This is supposed to be on a beach somewhere! |

This was delivered today. I paid quite a bit less than the price on the box, shipped. I think this is the first 1/16th scale kit I've ever had. Should be fun!

This is supposed to be on a beach somewhere! 08.05.22. I cut open the plastic bag today. On checking the parts one has molded underneath 'Ed Roth 1965'. On the damaged box it has Revell Inc Venice California, Copyright 1962-1965' By this I understand it is an original, so I'm told. If it was a re-issue it would have on the box Revell-Monogram Morton Grove, IL with a 1993 copyright date. |

Whilst travelling back from Portugal with my wife, our youngest son left this present for me for Father's Day..  Whilst away I saw this and bought it for extra inspiration as I have a few VW kits on the shelf..  |

After my request across various websites for an AMT Meyers Manx I netted these after discussion with a fellow modeler.  I wanted the Manx to build but also to take templates for a scratchbuilt beach buggy project. |

Cheers Paul. It's been washed and had a slight matt white undercoat.
