A VAN FROM MY CHILDHOOD

[glorydays24]

Well when I was a young boy in 1977, AMT released a 1/25 scale model KISS van. I bought one, and never had another one. Now anybody who has seen my signature knows KISS is my favorite rock group.
I have a chance to get another, and as far as I know, AMT never re-released this kit. The van has a very cool paint job, and I know how to get the same effect. I won't let it out of the bag yet, but when I get it, i'll show on how it's done...btw, it's very simple to achieve.
Anyhoo, here is a pic of what i'm getting, and it is still factory sealed...I'm very excited.

Thanx for looking, Big John

Glory:

There is a place in Ontario that seems to be releasing all the bodies that formerly were only available through a place in the UK called Kamtec.

They had some of the vintage stuff, and wierd onroad 'basher' scale bodies. I'd begged 'em to make Kyosho Blizxzard bodies, even offered one I had for a sample, but no reply. Begged for a Mad Max Interceptor too.

Now they are releasing lots of bodues, and the name? TeamBlueGroove. They have the Ford van that was used on the Heavy Metal M<onster Tank, and a whack of 1/16 scale bodies... Camaro, Porsche 959, Mustang, and a bunch of others, plus I think if we begged 'em, we might be able to get 'em to make some semi parts... sleepers, etc.

Think about it... and talk to 'em.

Thanx WhiteWolf, i'll have to look into that. But there is a down side, the kiss van was only released once I read, because Bill Aucoin, the manager of kiss at the time gave permission to amt to produce it. I really don't think it will re-released again because of that reason.:(
