CabDriver Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Looks like the next 1/25 kit (according to this old press release that I forgot about) should be what Atlantis describles as a "sixties All American '23 T Roadster". Looking forward to seeing that one! I nearly ran out of stuff to buy from them (although I have a couple of my wishlist once they update their Amazon store again...)

Mr. Metallic Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) My guess would be that would be one of mock-ups Mr Keeler showed at the IPMS show last year based on the former Tweedy Pie kit. Looking forward to more details Although based on that press release they missed the Q1 2022 release mark for the T based kit Edited September 14, 2022 by Mr. Metallic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Saw in my Atlantis email today that they’re selling the roadster chassis parts with the axles and suspension pieces, and the competition wheel set on their own, for anyone who might find those useful: https://atlantis-models.com/custom-car-parts-series-roadster-chassis-speed-equipment-atlantis/https://atlantis-models.com/custom-car-parts-series-competition-wheels-and-mags-chromed-atlantis/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raoul Ross Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) That first pic shows an extremely efficient use of space, I don't think I've ever seen a more densely populated sprue! Big Thumbs Up to that mold designer! 👍 Edited September 25, 2022 by Raoul Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calb56 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Purchased the chassis speed equipment from them directly. Has anyone gotten this? Also, says the instructions are emailed? Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Wish they'd offer the suspension parts plated. The wheels all have ejector pin marks on the front side, and most of those should have a magnesium finish anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyser Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Thanks Bill. Same to whomever bought the other reissues. Sad tires. I’ve not seen quick and dirty fix for melt, haven’t looked in awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only fix I'm sure of is wrapping the rim with BMF prior to assembly. I'd tried a Q&D coating of a highly chemical resistant epoxy, but getting an even yet thin coat proved to be more difficult than I'd anticipated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I do wide whitewalls, I always paint down into the tire center. Flat clear should work for blackwall tires. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Bartrop Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) Those suspension parts look like they'd be extremely useful for any number of projects. A couple of extra backing plates would have been nice, but it's easy enough to cast copies.

I would never have said "lost", but would have said that the owners of them over the years would never do anything with them. And, that's pretty much what did happen, until THIS particular owner came along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrb124@sbcglobal.net Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Haven't seen that many 1/32rds in a long time. Have only built maybe a couple decades ago. Handy size for display and storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PintoKING Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Please, please, PLEASE reissue the Lindberg's 1/32! (I sure hope they have the molds for those; ie '77 T-Bird, Cordoba, Granada, ect.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make sense R2 would sell these molds......but only Atlantis knows for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
