Hi Guys,
Does anyone know if there are any mass produced or resin 1/24th car ramps around?

I have seen some around, they are usually in a boxed set with other bits and pieces. called Repair garage. for about $20 but the ramps aren't real flash. With Evergreen Plastics you could knock your own up in no time! here is a link to what they look like! Cheers

There was some in a kit, I might be wrong but I think it was the AMT/MPC 65 El Camino kit. I had a set and they were moulded in yellow, mmmm, doesn't sound like AMT tho, some smarty on here will know.

Aha, you are right Paul, I remember now, nice wagon, pity the interior and chassis are typical early AMT crap.

Vehicle Ramps 65Chevelle008
They were crap because it was a former promo and they did as little as possible to make it into a kit. Not even removing the screw posts from the radiator support panel or moulding decent inner guards.
It also has fully moulded chassis and chrome headlight lenses.
But yes, it comes with ramps as part of the tow car accessories (also has push bar, roof rack & some other bits).
IIRC they have ejector pin marks in the middle of the textured ramp surfaces.
