Moebius 1965 Dodges Announcement
charlie8575 replied to Erik Solie's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Based on the general appearance, I would say so. I'm personally interested in the blue 2-door to build a nice grocery getter. A wide-block 318 would be perfect. Charlie Larkin -

Interesting with the headlights. Looks like it needs BP meds. I wonder if that can be corrected somehow? Nice build. Charlie Larkin -

Can the SSlasher be built stock? It looks like it mostly is, aside from the roll-cage? Charlie Larkin -
I definitely want one of these. The paint set looks interesting, too. Charlie Larkin

The '65 Wildcat could be VERY easy. The '66 is the updated '65. Re-create the body and chrome, and done. The interior in the '66 is actually the '65. The seat patterns and dash are the giveaway. I've been trying to figure out how to make a correct '66 dash for years. I'd love to see the other Grand Prixs, the '66 Bonneville, and the earlier Wildcats. Maybe they'll get adventurous, and do a '67 or '68 Wildcat and big Pontiac, too? Those were nice-looking cars. I tend to agree a 1968-'69 Impala would be a monumental seller, especially if done in SS and non-SS versions for a little variety. Perhaps a Caprice coupe with the option of bench or buckets and a Mark IV? I think it was the '68 that had really cool hidden headlights. I also agree the 1967-'68 Galaxie would be well-received. Handsome design, and it seems it would sell based on the requests. I'd personally like to see the 1965-'66 C-Body Dodges get done. I maintain the Chrysler's full-size cars of 1965-'66 especially were one of the pinnacles of post-war American automotive design, as they were also done by Elwood Engel, the same man that brought us the 1961 Lincoln Continental. The Custom 880 convertible was kind of neat, sort of forgotten now, and the Monaco is a beautiful kit. It would also open up the possibility of a Polara 4-door with options for police equipment, or to build an everyday car. The Charger and Bronco for more modern choices have a lot of options. Perhaps a newer 300 or a Challenger? The Bronco choices are as wide and varied as the Bronco itself. And yes, a new Ram pickup would be a good seller. So would a new F-150. Charlie Larkin

1/25 Tucker 48/Torpedo -- "Coming Soon" at SpotModel

Most impressive. Charlie Larkin -
The Monogram Museum Pieces haven't been run in years. From my understanding, Atlantis ended up with the tools, so hopefully sometime in the nearish future, we'll see another run. These kits are very nice, build easily, and look very good when done. Charlie Larkin

I have a bottle of Frostbite from Scale Finishes, and I'm planning on this being a summer project. I'm really looking forward to building this. Charlie Larkin
