Moebius 1965 Dodges Announcement

Welp, guess that's bye-bye to a buck-twenty-five or so... -
Welp, in direct response, I bring up this thing: Now what in the hell would anything like it have to do with spoiled foil? Mi hermano, the ONLY thing that has kept me sane through this whole exercise, the O-o-O-o-OONNLYY thing that's stopped me short of a spokicidal rage through these needlessly diabolical perversions of a supposedly meditative activity, has been THIS STUFF: Ju-u-uust tacky enough to hold those Medusa-hairdo spokes down without freezing the wheel so rigid you can't get the next one in. Might be worth a look before tossing a what, 8-dollar foil sheet? 9? You prob'ly knew. Puttin' it out there for the benefit of others, too. 🙂 EDIT: 'cause yeah, that foil is one of the few recent Tamiya items I can recall having a "meh" response about, too. Here's hoping the pics aren't doing it proper...

ICM 1/24 Model A Phaeton

Very cool, Les! Thanks for the first look. -
And I think we can take from the pics above encompassing wheel emblems, dash gauges, and a license plate from the BTTF version (not to mention a history of reasonably comprehensive decal sheets from Aoshima) that the DMC12 version will have decalS too. 🙂👍

1/25 Tucker 48/Torpedo -- "Coming Soon" at SpotModel
Chuck Kourouklis replied to Matt Bacon's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Yup! This is a curbside kit comprising around 135 parts, so there's no full engine detail. But there's a crisp 3D-printed engine lower that fits the resin chassis plate perfectly. The suspension and exhaust system detail are multi-piece and pretty complete. The steering wheels are the same, so one is a spare, as is one of the driveshafts, tailpipes, front suspension arms, headlight lenses, and a few other parts. You do have some options on interior trim, cranks, and pedals. The instruction booklet -

Oy vey... ANYWAY, here's what your $180 + shipping gets you. It's a stunner, VERY competitive in the biscale resin arena. Considering the nearly-flawless rubber Firestones with wide white masking collars, the photoetch, the precision in every resin piece I've test-fitted so far, and the literal menagerie of smooth, super-fine 3D printed parts with spares, this thing is a flat bargain by any reasonable assessment and I'm delighted with it.- 28 replies

What a little sleeper - I'm just liking it, more and more I see. Their 26 also has me intrigued. -
Single decal would be fine, long it's what Kurt suggested. 😁

Wow, never knew there was an entity called "Teapot"! Shoulda done some Pontiacs - that way, you'd have a Tempest in a... . . I'll just show myself out.
