Anyone build these? I had the Sopwith Camel, the Bugatti, Motorcycle, Joe Cool and a Snoopy vs. Woodstock Birdbath Hockey Rink. Some of them were motorized (Bugatti and Joe Cool off the top of my head)
Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!
Those were Monogram? I had a few when I was a kid. I was pretty young; maybe three or four.... so I don't remember them too well. I used to get sick a lot when I was a kid and have very specific memories of a weekend spent in bed building the ice rink; and two other odd kits:
-an airplane with a fuseilage made like a carrot
-one of them edumakational kits, a writst fan, that weighed about two pounds when done.
These were the best models to have! Those minature battery-powered engines were super-cool! This was all back in '71/'72. I only had the Camel, Bugatti and Motor-cycle, the first two being the best. I checked periodically on eBay to see if anyone's selling parts and repo decals for these. Would LOVE to build/display the Sopwith Camel again..
Yeah,
I want through two Camel kits as a little one. I'm not sure that any of the pieces of them made it past the early 70's. I was a bit rough on them with Snoopy's adventures.
Yeah i had the race car and red barron around 71.
Love the box art on the red Barron it showed him doing the Thumbs down sign while a parachute
with a tail sticking out saying "Curse You red barron".
The car was fast and Snoopy move side to side as it moved.
