Vintage Kit Review - Tommy Ivo's "SHOWBOAT" 4 Engine dragster

Before this kit I had never heard of Tommy Ivo. Surprisingly he played a big roll in Showmanship Drag Racing while also helping Dragsters care not just about performance. But the quality and look of the dragster. Tommy Ivo was a child actor turned drag racer as he got older. Among others, he starred in the hit movie from 1964 "Bikini Beach" which also starred his dragster the "Showboat". The "S...

    At 67, I've been building scale models for 50+ years. And the company name Revell is pronounced "rev-ELL", based on the French word "reveille". It has no connection to the Revell family, pronounced "REV-ell".

    Thank you for this well done and informative presentation! Now in my 70s, I remember the 'Golden Age' of plastic model kits so very well. Starting out in the late 50s, I entered the hobby building model planes, boats, tanks, and military models. I spent every dollar of my allowance money as well as money earned from my paper route at local hobby shops buying the latest and the greatest from AMT, Jo-Han, MPC, Revell, Lindberg, Hawk, Monogram, and Aurora. Later I graduated to building model cars as my skills increased and I started using Testor's and Pactra spray paints to paint the bodies and other parts. Learning how to 'wire' the ignition of engines with my Mom's sewing thread, my car models won local model shows at area hobby shops for their attention to detail. Even though this great hobby no longer enjoys the immense popularity it once had, I still continue to build models albeit with the help of magnifying glasses and like magnifying apparatus. Today's kids don't know what they are missing!

    • @modelrestorations
      @modelrestorations Před 29 dny

      Thank you for watching and the wonderful story! Do you still have your old builds? I started in the 70s and would also spend every dollar I had. I usually got the most money from recycling my grandpa's beer cans. Lol. He drank a lot of Pabst blue ribbon. (Horrible beer!) 😀

      I concentrated on model car companies that shaped the model CAR hobby and not companies that Delved into other things like airplanes, slot cars, figures, and 1/32 car models. I will have an additional video soon showcasing Aurora and some of the other lesser known model companies Like Ideal. Thanks for watching and commenting.

      @tomtbi I am currently working on another video that will cover those companies. I really just wanted to concentrate on the main model companies that produced car models as their main model kits in the US. Of course, Jo-Han was the exception in this video. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay tuned, I plan to roll out the new video in a month, depending on time available.
