• I should know this, so apoligies in advance: What year is the "American Violence" 1/24 Trans Am by Otaki?
  • I'm thinking '86. *NM*
  • 1974 *NM*
    • Well, I was ONLY 12 years off. Actually got that number on-line, so I guess you can't believe everything you see on line. And I thought you could! *NM*
      • There's an old meme attributed to Abraham Lincoln warning about believing facts on the internet *NM*
        • Jeez...I didn't realize there was an internet back then!! *NM*
          • It was steam powered 😁😁😁😁 *NM*
    • Thanks, Scott. *NM*
  • Bob, wasn't there a resin company that did a '74 or '75 a while back? ,, What was that name again, I can't seem to remember. *NM*
    • Beats me... LOL
    • Kevin over at Missing Link makes a 1975 resin Trans Am trans kit. He sometimes lists them on eBay at auction. *NM*
      • Kevin's 75 is really well done, as usual. *NM*
      • Yea, that's exactly what we were joking about. Bob and Kevin were [are?] associates. *NM*
        • He does all the hard work, I do all the kibitzing
  • What was the american violence series supposed to be? A road warrior thing or something else ? *NM*
    • Home market Japanese release of the kit... it had a tack on supercharger and the Otaki custom wheel tire package inside *LINK*
      • Ibuilt a kitbash of the Otaki Trans Am years ago (kept the Otaki body and honeycomb wheels,used the Monogram '78 kit for everything else)
      • So American violence was American muscle cars with a blower? *NM*
        • Yeah, pretty much. And the custom wheels... *NM*
          • And the translation that was *this close* to saying what they meant to say... lol *NM*
