Model car thread

[convss]

I had quite a collection of model cars back in the early 60's. I'd save money till I had $1.49, then head to the store to pick out the next AMT 3in1 build. Painted some, some I just left white. Think they were 1/24 scale. Used to race them with friends.

My favorites are the Monagram kits designed by Tom Daniel .. when I first saw the Beer Wagon in 1967, I bought it on the spot and was hooked.

Next one was the Red Baron in 1968.

... followed up quickly in the same year was the Paddy Wagon.

I bet those original still in the box are prolly worth something now.

Time line early 80s... I had 3 or 4 lawns I mowed and would go to town and buy muscle car kits with my loot. Had some shelves in my room with 40 plus built kits over a few year span. Years later a family friends kids got ahold of them, little bastard destroyed everyone. Fast forward to now. I tried to build some old kits and just can't do it. Eye sight is bad, fat fingers breaking little parts and the glue doesn't smell like I remember.

The glue doesn't smell like I remember.

That's because it is not the glue you remember.
