MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Well, I will definitely keep my eyes on this and will participate if I can. I have the same build I planned for 2023 rattling around in my head, would love to see it manifested in reality someday. Thanks for reviving this Graham
  2. Have you received any with the Heritage Edition package? I saw my first one in the wild last week at our local dealership. I guess i missed the news that they were even doing those. It's just an appearance package right? My wife is in love with it (Robins Egg blue with white top), but we just got our Bronco in June so it's way too soon to trade ours in 😋
  3. At long last... it's finally back! I believe the only issue of this kit dates all the way back to 07/08, so 17 years??? Many were beginning to wonder if it would ever come back, hence the climbing 3rd party prices. Even if it's a straight up reissue with no new parts I'll still get a couple even though I have a couple of the first issue in the stash. Gotta have donors for Ed's excellent chopped bodies.
  4. This is very cool. Obviously you're not sticking strictly to the artwork since you've already changed the color, so can you give us any details what else you have planned (engine, etc)?
  5. Coming together nicely. I really like the better detailed trailer hitch you printed.
  6. Looking really good Jim. Especially digging the suspension mods to get the stance where you want it.
  7. Alan, am I crazy or did you feature your resurrection of this body in a different thread previously? Either way, it's so cool to see you save this. And sourcing the big Hemi from the S'Cool bus is an inspired choice.
  8. Your build came out great as always. I'm just mentioning this here in case anyone stumbles upon it while trying to build their own Revell 32 roadster with fenders. People have often asked why Revell never issued the roadster body with fenders, and the reason why is that the body doesn't fit the fender set out of the box. This is because the distance from the front of the body to the beginning of the wheel arch is shorter on one side of the body versus the other. I've measured it with calipers. So, with a little work (like you did on yours) it ca be made to fit, but it's not a drop on fit.
  9. Looking good. Brookville actually made a limited edition 1:1 body recently, very similar to yours. Not sure if there has been any finished yet but I saw the display body in bare metal and it's a stunner.
  10. While I'd love to see this kit, I'm not sure it's as easy a layup as we may perceive. The way I understand it, to build the Streaker the way it was originally you need parts from 2 kits, the 64 Olds for the engine and all the body parts. Then you need the chassis and all associated parts from the recently released 65 Chevelle AWB kit. So Round2 essentially has to run 2 full kits to sell one. Definitely something that could be done, but only if it makes financial sense. However I am no expert, so I could be wrong.
  11. Well, since i never even started my 2023 build, I'm in for 2024 😋 Still have the parts and a plan, just have to find the time.
  12. Another way to improve the fit is to cut the body away from the firewall down the sides by making a vertical cut up the side where they meet. Then you can bend the body out to line up with the bottom edge of the roof and glue. Then fill in any gap between the firewall and body (it should be small). I've seen other builders do it and I plan to when i get around to building another.
  13. Great idea, and the tires could also be offered as a parts pack to generate further revenue off the tooling, like the gasser wheel/tire pack.
