[73astregt]

bought this on a facebook model club a japanese kit of a buick skyhawk! wonder how rare it is?

[zeke]

That's neat, have not seen it before. Will u put it together?

[73astregt]

yes zeke ill probably build it, im not one for having them sit around in the boxes i buy em to build em!

Zeke, It is listed on Bryan's site second row from bottom. You must be way behind on your H-Body Net Surfing! Fred, Make sure you post up finished Pic's (and in progress too!) Where did you find that and is it complete or at least for the version you wish to build? Harry http://monza.homestead.com/models.html

[zeke]

Cool! Had not seen that page and no idea that many models were made. Thanx Harry and Bryan.

I passed on a motorized Skyhawk model one time at a hobby shop in Pa.

I'm bummed there was never a stock sunbird model.

now harry you be nice to zeke hes been too busy building a real monza to be looking for plastic ones! ill see how the kit is when it gets here i think ill try to build it stock or slightly modded seeing that its a vintage kit, who knows with some of the prices ive seen model kits going for on ebay it might be a gold mine lol!

^ Yeah, building full scale monza and flying micro helis is consuming all my spare time rfn.

I had one of those plastic 2+2 models a long time ago, don't rem what happened to it. I still have the john force monza funny car die cast tho.

[Monza Harry]

OUCH Fred! I have been working too! I've been selling everything I can to purchase NOS parts for my Monza. Now Ken Mahoy knows who's bidding against him for that H-Body Gold (AKA NOS). And "The Warden" has a really time consuming list, ie: build a bathroom upstairs, and then finish downstairs bathroom and if I have any time left over rebuild the rest of the house, and are you buying coffee? Good go get it will you! All by this weekend mind you, looks like an epic FAIL! Harry P.S. I still haven't committed to this body yet a better one may pop up, Yes I'm a DREAMER

[zeke]

I thought that was a subtle stab! heehee

Harry, put down the mouse and pick up the ratchet!

[73astregt]

yeah what he said!

[starfire]

Yup, I've got the Starfire one:



Mine is in a different box than the one on the models page.

If I ever get done with my full size model maybe I'll build this one...

[marco_1978_spyder]

That would be a cool build. Especially if you found a way to add the flares and make a mini replica.

For a while there was someone selling 1:24 scale Spyder decal kit's... anyone know if they're still available?

A few years back there was someone on ebay selling 1:24 scale Spyder decal kit's... anyone know if they're still available?

When my youngest brother was about 12 or 14 he decided to modify (that meant his crazy idea and I had to figure out how to do it with my late teen wisdom/experience...NONE) his '70 Chevelle model. The giant wing was a snow plow blade on some sheet plastic from some toy box window and lots of "spot putty" on that and the other "mod's", we found it while cleaning up some stuff at Moms house a few years ago and it had stayed together at least 25 years and looked the way we both remembered it! So perhaps you could experiment with one of the many parts kits on eBay before you try it on a hard to replace kit? Harry
