They've been pretty accurate with the previous issues of the.1940 Ford coupe, 1950 Chevrolet 3100 pickup, and the 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air sedan Coca-Cola kits all being released in the proper to the era color schemes and decals. Don't really know why they might screw it up now, especially since any Coca-Cola endorsed products would have to be given a proper release from the Atlanta home offices first.

iBorg Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 The McEwen photos at https://www.dragracermag.com/features/feature-tom-the-mongoose-mcewens-tirend-top-fueler-part-2/ shows the car much closer to the Garlits chassis than I remember. Still I wish they'd tool up new panels for the Ivo FE car. The old Garlits body always struck me as wrong. It looks too heavy. Also the rear of the chassis is wrong. Its fixable but it will take a couple of hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr mopar Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 I believe the Mongoose rail dragster is a 68' car ? 69' Tom McEwen was driving the funny car . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 AT LAST ! A long-awaited STOCK Dodge Pickup of 1972-1993 vintage ( Yes , I realise that there are year-to-year cosmetic / mechanical variables ) ! Lettuce hope that it's got 2-wheel-drive parts ( "D-Series" ) in addition to 4-wheel-drive parts ( "W-Series" ) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmodelbuilder Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Cool stuff for sure! That boxart on the 32 Sedan Delivery almost makes it look like a vicky. Is the model anywhere near the correct length of a real delivery? Edited February 2, 2019 by Lordmodelbuilder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see the upcoming re-release will be properly identified as a Sedan Delivery. The body in this old kit is molded in white while everything else is black. The proportions of the body look pretty good to me but the shape of the top of the rear door is not correct as it should have rounded edges according to photos I have seen. I cut out the fender liner to try the body with the Revell 32 Ford frame, fenders, hood and grill. It will need some work where the body meets the gas tank but it is definitely doable. Bought the new reissue today at Hobby Lobby. First time I've seen it, but I haven't been in there since early December, so who knows when it arrived. So now I have three variations of MPC '32 Ford Switchers: 5-window unchopped, 5- window chopped, and Sedan Delivery. Were there others?

Haven't looked in the new box yet to see if the phaeton body is still in there. Doesn't matter to me...if it IS in there, I'll have it up for trade.

You have to install the rear windows and paint them for the sedan delivery body. There are a lot of extra parts that aren't mentioned on the instructions though.
