The Model kits of MPC

[@swapmeetlus4096]

When I first moved to California from Mexico, pretty shy and wouldn’t play a lot with the kids from my apartment complex. There was an old dude who used to build cars for a living, his whole livelyhood was building low riders and bad ass muscle cars back in the 80s. Anyways, this old dude once’s asked me if I wanted something to do, and he gave a monogram model of a 69 GTO, a little set of those testors paints that come in a clear pallet, and some brushes. He told me to show him when I was done. But I was just at that context while my parents closed a deal on a house so I had to leave with the model unfinished. Until I was about 14 and all my skate buddies turned to smoking weed and hanging out with some stupid gang from Whittier, I had a bunch of time in my hands. I actually found the old kit the old man gave me and it sparked my love for models. Specially WWII airplanes. I became a WWII SUPER NERD. And to this day I build my models and still my favorite plane is a B25. And yup my favorite car is intact the GTO.

I remember so many of these kits..... I sure miss those days...

[@frizzosmodels]

Awesome video. Great music. Bringing back old memories 🤘👍

[@ericstayer4237]

Best video on KZbin... thank you and bless you for it .

[@mikecernick5575]

Outstanding takes me back to my childhood in the late 70,s and early 80,s when I would spend hours in the local Hobby shop . Nice local family run store that always helped you and you couldn’t get out of there without wanting to buy more . Sadly most of the stores are long gone .

[@GrouchoTM]

Wow brings back memories! Just started a new model during this pandemic!

[@robertpradella6550]

What did you buil

[@robertpradella6550]

Love the tunes. Its nice seeing all of these. I have a couple in there. Thankyou!

[@martinchristain4964]

I had a lot of those when I was a kid. Still have a few now on display in my basement. Thanks for the show. 👌😀

[@dustymojave]

Great video. Don't know where you hot all those images. But cool that you collected and shared them. As I watch, I'm noting all the ones that I bought when they 1st came out in the 1960s. And the ones I have multiples of. And the ones I would have bought if they were available to me at the time, but nevershowed up at the places I shopped for models then. And the ones I would STILL buy now off ebay if I found them at prices I would pay.

[@alvitiello9134]

Thank you very much for the good memories. I had a lot of those kits when I was younger. 👍👍

[@kevinpatrick8788]

killer tunes to go along with the great kits . i owned so many of these as a kid and i wish i still had them now . the only ones i still have today are the mopar missle pro stock duster and the butch leal california flash pro stock duster .

[@JackFlemingFan1]

Excellent video and thank you for posting it! Sure does bring back a lot of memories and I do wish some of these kits could be reissued!

[@williamwagaman9538]

Get rid of the music that stinks

[@HotrodzModelShop465]

A lot of way cool kits. Thanks for sharing those.

[@frankdenardo8261]

I built and have some of the kits. I have cars such as The 1970, 1971 Mercury Cyclone, 1971, 1972, 1973 Mercury Cougar XR-7, 1971,1972 Plymouth Roadrunner, 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1. I the above mentioned cars later in life. I remember going to the toy department of Woolworths, T G &Y, S H Kress, Grant's, and seeing all the cars, trucks, and vans.

[@Darckstar52]

They had some great kits!!

[@fredhettesheimer404]

Bring back a lot of memories I had a lot of those kits as a kid. I hope Round 2 has all these molds for reissue. Great Video and I liked the sound track

[@LeftCoastModelCarBuilds]

Nice rundown on MPC 🤙🏼

[@1967davethewave]

I was going to make a junkyard diorama using 1/25th scale models circa 1979ish. That's when I found out that the only 4 door models are a couple of police cars a fire chief's car. There are a few station wagons out there although I didn't see a single one in this video. Four door cars are the most common car in a junk yard. I guess I could get resin cast bodies. They make about anything in resin cast.

[@robertpfuhl2679]

The dodge 4x4 pickups ,the Cheyenne wrecker,the 72,73,and 74 caprice,the mopars all great kits would love to see them reproduced

[@JohnPol]

[@ModelMasterMagazine]

John Pol absolutely!

[@HoosierRooster]

I actually built one of the Color Me Gone Chargers when I was a kid love that car

[@jasonyoung3690]

Round 2 needs to start reissuing all of these!

[@stanlee9946]

That datsun gasser pickup 👍

[@davidkastin4240]

I had and built the 73 Caprice. Those were the days

[@mhenderson1000]

I sure would like to get 5 of those Mopar Missle pro stock kits if they ever releases them.

[@NewstartGarageOZ]

I only ever had one of these. The 1975 Dodge Van but it wasn't that boxing

[@kolbpilot]

Interesting that the AMX at 10:40 appears to have the '290' emblem on its rear flank instead of a bigger motor. Each emblem (290, 343, 390) had its own distinct shape. Cool picture, kinda' looks like a Le Mans type setup in the rain with the AMX with California tags chasing down the others.

[@maxsmodels]

Maybe you can help me out. I am doing a video on the history of the MPC company. I have already done ERTL and AMT. Outside of Star Wars what are the highlight kits and how does MPC stack up to AMT kits?

[@keithsmodelsandrcs6593]

Nice content my friend i just came across your channel i subbed to you ill watch few more your vids very interesting im a new modeler past year now so still taking it all in learning tricks of the trade ha but yeah i hope you keep up good work 👍

[@StratBurst92]

I built both MPC & AMT both were great kits. I did like the MPC box art better though.Really wish that they would reissue the Dodge Demon 340 kit.

[@dansmodelworx]

Lots of kits I'd like to see Round 2 reissue! Even if we only got one version.

[@bradleycutler2379]

Nice

[@harryredhawk7661]

About your life flashing before you, my life and model kits

[@nigelcarren]

Great video... these would make a great collection. By the way, what is the first track please... That is some lovely Gitter? Best wishes and stay safe mate. Model-Makers of the world unite.. SUBSCRIBED 🇬🇧

[@richarddelgaudio5480]

Dam do i remember! My dad had a body shop and all i did was build model cars

[@davidpayne4315]

Would give anything for those kits back

[@jamessawyer8889]

These are the kits that need to be reissued instead of what's been reissued you'd see this flying off the shelves in no time flat

[@skruloos1]

I still have so many of these kits..sealed..

[@timdub70]

I still have the Killer 'Cuda.

[@666morello]

awesome kits but whos music

[@timothyharrison8953]

The Doug Nash Bronco Buster kit 2:21 was a fake kit and never produced. I think there was a resin body and decals and when combined with a late '60s (Polar Lights) funny car kit chassis, you could have a replica.

[@cletusjuice4207]

How can I get hold of that 71 impala. I own a real 71 that is built up and I want to build a model of it. Can’t find anywhere. Anyone know where please respond.

[@williamsaloka9043]

What!!! Fonzies' dream rod is actually the "Monkeymobile"... That's kinda weird.

[@littlevegawagon]

Hi, you missed the dodge Demon & Roger lindamoods 68 Dodge Charger funny car. The too most valueable kits

[@jfrockon]

What the heck is that tune? The whole soundtrack

[@randyhertzberg7549]

"soundtrack" more like shit noise

[@kevindouglasjackson]

That's not the Fonz Dream Rod, that is the Monkees Mobile from the 60s smh.

[@haasfogle8425]

you missed my favorite. the 69 falcon racecar...

[@migmadmarine]

@Robert Darnell yeah. i had a weakness for falcons. built a few

[@michaelotten2724]

Mpc had 1/25 scale vs 1/24 scale so models were smaller less bang for the buck also as i recall the kits quality wasnt the best.

[@beberle9641]

I miss my Dick Trickle model car!

[@dougfisher1885]

I used to cut grass when I was a kid and every time I got paid which was about 5 or 10 dollars a week depending on the weather I'd run straight to the model shop and buy one of these kits especially the NASCAR models please re issue these I'd buy all I could

[@jodyblackwell9012]

to bad so many of them in fit and detail they lacked so much and the colors they were molded in was a real down fall .

[@DanielLopez-tb2fl]

This music is very lunk headed and stupid . Al Midon
