iamsuperdan Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 No lock here. Yet. Must every thread devolve into arguments or snide comments? Maybe next time, just stop, think a little, and don't post about other builders or other members. Comment on builds, not the builders. Some people are just so quick to anger. Calm down, relax a little. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carnut Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) Getting back to the upcoming MPC reissues. I for one am glad that Round2 is reissuing this vintage of Toyota Supra. I prefer it over the F&F 93 Supra. I do have one in my stash and it looks like it was an attempted build but the paint stripped. I thought this was a good detailed kit and a risk since it wasn’t another Camaro, Mustang or such. on a side note although I do have a Revell-Monogram 65-67 Corvette I might just pick up the Streaker Vette when it comes out. Depending on the cost. Cheers Edited June 1, 2022 by carnut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I too will pick up a Supra. I'm a big fan of this generation. I have a very used kit that I've acquired. May or may not be complete. Would be great to have another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 MPC's Supra was a tour-de-force; perhaps one of their most sophisticated kits ever. I missed it the first time around as a teen, so this time, I'll be sure to snatch up a whole case of 'em. Check out this "What's In The Box" from Madcap Romanian/Monster Hobbies, that he did in April: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May or may not be complete. Would be great to have another. I came -this- close to pulling the trigger on the Celica (moulded in red) MPC kit earlier this year. I'm glad that I didn't, for two reasons: 1.) The listing was 'sketchy' (few photos, little in the way of description) 2.) The mentioning of this iteration (the blue Supra) of the kit came down ex cathedra (e.g., Tim Boyd) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Supra was leaps & bounds above any of their offerings at that time! IMO, it ranks darned close to Tamiya or Hasegawa -- the too dark 'glass' and the BFG's its only weak points.

stavanzer Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Let Us Hope that the awful BFGs are replaced by something else. Too Bad American Satco is gone. They would have the perfect tires for this kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve gotten a few over the years as well as a few actual Aoshima sets, but I could always use more of the off road tires! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymcminn Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Definitely going to pick up that Supra. Always loved the 2nd generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoke Wagon Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I wonder if the Supra will have two releases, one molded in white and the other in metallic blue. Just like what was done with the Deserter (black and white) and Rescue Van (red and white). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddyfink Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Nice to see the Supra coming back, I sold off the one I had thinking I could just get another one not realizing how rare they suddenly got!

Lots of guys just love to complain though they've probably built tons of crappy models in the past. I usually work with what I get after checking out the accuracy of the kit. The '65 is a GREAT kit. Yes, I am. And yes, it is. The '65 Nova is far, far from a great kit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldcarfan27 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Glad to see the lightbars finally coming out and I can see a few ideas for the Escalade. Adding a roof to the back, I'd like to see someone convert one into a TRUE Escalade ESV. Might have to be me. Oh and so no one cries, here is the consumer warning that should be on the Corvette box! THE 62 CORVETTE IS ORIGINALLY FROM 1962 AND DOES NOT HAVE FULLY DETAILED WIPER MOTOR OR TURN SIGNALS!

Even converting the standard Escalade kit into a full detail kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcarfan27 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I was thinking of using the roof from the Revell "shorty" and using it to fill in the pickup truck area in the AMT. Avalanche is just a Suburban with a bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
