Jaguar man 21 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I finally was able to get one of the moebius 1965 comet cyclone kits and I noticed what appears to be a single chrome Webber carb on the chrome tree. I know the 427 sohc version is due next year but it appears a 289 bfx version is in the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Kampmann Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hi Jeremy, Good catch! (finding the Weber on the chrome tree!). Here is the B/FX 1965 Comet I built from the Moebius test shot. There's a nice photo of this model in the new Contest Cars magazine (featured from the NNL North event). The 289 will come with both the Webers and manifold, as well as a two-four setup and carbs as part of the B/FX version. Thanks, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc Janssens Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Oops, some factory worker forgot to clip it off the tree?Personally I find it odd, that they don't group the parts unique to version to one tree.

stavanzer Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Any word on when these will be shipping? This is a Moebius kit I can really sink my teeth into. I'll wind up building several of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Metzner Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Comet B/FX car is possible from our tooling. There is NO B/FX kit under development today.Will there be one in the foreseeable future? I don't know, yet.What I do know, is that we have an Arnie Beswick A/FX car in the works for Model King. That kit is planned for a 1st quarter 2018 release. PLEASE NOTE that I used the word PLANNED there. Not the words guaranteed for arrival on a certain date.I'm sure that Model King will be able to keep everyone informed as the actual date for arrival approaches.
