Nice. Sure looks the part very well

That kit is unpainted I think( been some time since ive had it in my hands) It really needs redone The Missle Duster is poorly painted flat black. So both will get redone someday...... soon I hope I have slixx decals for them all. When the time comes Apologies for the hijack

Coming Soon from Atomic City's JoHan line of new kits
gtx6970 replied to thatz4u's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Thanks I did a quick basic search this morning and found none..except a few dealer promos Myself prefer a 1965. But only because of the Indy Pace Car version I personally like the 67/68 body style better and have a clean 1968 conv builder . For that sometime down the road build -
Thats my quandary Im not 100% happy with it as is But not dissatisfied enough to pull it apart. I bought it with about a half dozen other old MPC pro stock / drag cars builders off ebay about 10-12 years ago. He listed a bunch of builtups. And I bought all the Mopars and the Schartman Comet None are perfect ....most are ......OK The SM duster is the worst. The Comet is the best one

Coming Soon from Atomic City's JoHan line of new kits

Agreed And I have to ask,, Is a 1966 Fury kit really that hard to come up with ? To justify such a price point for a resin curbside kit ? The subject matter isnt in my wheelhouse so I have no idea . -
Slixx does . Or at least did make the decals to replicate that particular car I have a decent shape original built-up here I keep thinking I want to redo someday. Just cant bring myself to pull it apart for such a minimal upgrade

Im pretty sure both the Leal duster and the Vanke duster have all stock interiors I know the Sox - Martin Duster, The Landy Challenger , And I think both the Missle Duster AND Cuda are all gutted race only interiors

Moebius Butch Leal 1965 Plymouth SS . Box and Instructions only
gtx6970 replied to gtx6970's topic in Trading Post
Poof, and just like that, Its spoken for Mods can delete this if they chose -

Not sure what to do with this one, Maybe someone out there collects boxes. And with this one already gaining traction as something of a collectable. Maybe someone out there wants it more than I do. So, Anyone interested? Want wall art maybe? I have another one I stapled to the wall in the garage for shop art.,,just because I think its kind of a neat box. Just to be clear. There are NO parts or decals. Simply a box and the instructions.

Finally done and in the case The Butch Leal SS kit was used for both builds Kit decals for the Butch Leal car. SLIXX for the Doc Burgess Jenkins driven car The Burgess car was converted to an auto. .Otherwise both cars are box stock Tamiya orange for the Leal car Tamiya pure white for the Burgess car. Im REALLLLLY liking these Mobieus kits overall. Absolutely no issues during the build. Only exception was I had to chamfer the edge of the rear glass to get it to sit flush Update/Edit Since my post. I was reviewing my reference photos and realized the Leal car had hood pins, The Burgess car did not The Burgess car had the fancy trim panel on the rear between the taillights whereas the Leal can did not. So they are not done I guess And yes, I used the wrong ft wheels on the Burgess car. I'm afraid that can't be changed without causing damage. So I'll have to live with that mistake

Very, Very nice I have a couple Big John builds in my case You have just convinced me I NEED a replica of his Willys as well

Agreed Ive always liked the 72 Demon grill over the 71 version myself. So if thats the case I'll grab at least one for the interior alone
