Better for me is to be close to my doctors and civilization--a variety of groceries, restaurants, etc all within 10-15 minutes.

Yes, the Revell body Is definitely wider than the MPC...the MPC grille is too narrow for the Revell body...I had posted these pics back in February in a Blazer thread. Canuck 3D makes some different year Chevy and GMC grilles specifically for the Revell body.

Seems there were drag versions w/ 421 in 2dr sedan form..

Thanks for posting. Lots of goodies. Would have taken pics but left my phone in the car.

Saw this sharp ‘67 Galaxie at a model show this morning.

Saw some upcoming AMT stuff (4th qtr, next year)—most of which I’ve seen at other shows—at the Plastic Undercover show outside Akron this morning. Included were a couple I hadn’t heard of yet—‘63 Pontiac LeMans convertible, ‘69 Mustang ‘John Wick’—based off the MPC ‘69 with some new parts. The upcoming ‘32 Ford Tudor were among those on display, with previously shown prototypes like the ‘72 Duster, Charger Hellcat widebody, etc. Of course, I left my phone in the car

By the way, speaking of the new reissue of the '69 Riviera, though the box art shows and calls out the Keystone Klassic wheels, the optional wheels are still the same old, same old Vectors seen since the Countdown Series release in the late 70s.

'E' designated Export, primarily for Europe on the 1:1 3rd gen. Not sure what the visible differences would have been (perhaps mirrors, rear fog lights, amber turn signals, wide license plate brackets. etc maybe?), but I don't think Monogram provided them.

Took a walk around my neighborhood this morning, saw this orange ‘68 Charger at the local Police/Fire department office.

That is odd that no one has tooled up the last style Challenger..so many potential variations..R/T, Scat Pack, Hellcat, Demon, Red Eye, etc. I have resin 2015+ interior conversions for the AMT curbside and also resin Hellcat conversions w/ hoods, fender flares, etc but would be nice to have one in styrene.

I'd assume it is the AMT kit that looked like this (an actual Hot Wheels Python car pictured). AMT called it something else..show rod w/ asymmetrical details. IIRC, the kit was last reissued about 20 years ago.

This one and a couple variations

I encountered a Diverging Diamond intersection for the first time recently on a visit to Colorado Springs...an intersection I drove through countless times when I lived there 25 years ago, was rebuilt a few years ago as a DD. Diverging diamonds are a curious thing, end up driving on the opposite side of the road for a bit.. We are starting to get a lot of roundabouts built here in NE Ohio. I remember all the ones around Sedona in AZ last time I went up there about 10 years ago. I-25 and Fillmore DD:

Distasteful may be in the eye of the beholder.

They’ve grown on me, I like the folding hardtop aspect. I like the original SC a lot. I also really like the LC 500. Would love to have a Nori green LC convertible.

Nissan S-Cargo from around 1990 I think.

Hit my local hobby shop (Stewart's Hobbies, Willoughby, Ohio) this afternoon and picked up these two..

Beautiful fall weather here in NE Ohio lately. Was at the beach for sunset last night...was out rolling around last night and today in my Caddy, sunroof open blasting Def Leppard's Hysteria (feeling 17 again)... got my 5.0 out this afternoon, put on Van Halen's 5150.. really reminding me of my youth and how long ago 1987 is... life is good all in all, but I'm really feeling my age some days. Got home and put on some Rush...I love 'Subdivisions' and 'Time Stand Still', those two have a lot of personal connection...

Just a stylized image, I'd assume its the same old, same old..

They look like gorgeous kits and builds. I've never had any of the Jo-han classics, but have built some of the Monogram ones years ago.

My Cadillac has the LED projector bulb lights and LED light strips that function as turn signals and cornering lamps. They have auto on and auto high beam on/off settings which work pretty well. They are definitely brighter and throw further than the older Halogen bulbs on my Jeep.

Saw a clean maroon Lincoln Mark III and a maroon ‘67 Chevy Impala convertible with a white top when out and about on this beautiful early fall Sunday.

That engine stand looks similar to the one in the ‘40 Ford kit.

Yes, fuel economy and efficiency. I’ve seen almost 30mpg highway in my Cadillac with the 10 spd auto and 3.6 v6…not bad for a 4100lb AWD luxury sedan.

About $3.05 for regular unleaded in my area in NE Ohio.
