Here is the Rextoys 1/43 diecast of the beautiful Packard for 1940. It is an older model but it still looks and displays very well. In the pictures I am not quite sure what's going on, but it does seem like adventure and trouble, etc are in the air. Flash's gal Dale appears to have not only big problems, but also, everyone on Mars appears to take a great interest in her, too. I guess we can't blame them ......ummm, and the maroon '40 Packard is quite nice, too.

I am happy to see the aircraft/airships back and flying again! I wonder what will happen next? 🤔 🤔

An extra one of these made a great donor model for a woody conversion.

Lol, Karl ! Hmmm, I'm not sure what's up next ..... but perhaps lovely Dale should be a bit worried !

They are well done, yet inexpensive Packard's and make for really good conversion automobiles.

I used the Rex Toys front clip to make this '40 Packard wagon a couple years ago.

Nice work, Curtis. What did you use for the wood body? Mine was scratch built from basswood, balsa wood and some wood veneer.

Thanks, Ed and lol, Karl ! I think Miss Arden may be involved in whatever comes next. And, in any case, a 1940 Packard in the mix is always a good thing. (even an older 1/43 one from Rextoys)
