SteveG Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Here's one that I've been waiting to get my hands on. I'm going to highlight the changes for now starting with the box art and decals, you can see all the photos at the link below. I'll get to the parts next ..... Edited March 27, 2014 by SteveG
SteveG Posted March 28, 2014 Author Posted March 28, 2014 Let start with the chrome trees ...... This one looks like it's all new .... Here's the newly tooled 67 style nose ..... I'll post the rest of the parts shortly. -Steve
RatRod Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I love this reissue!!! Now my mint original can just stay on the shelf, and age more.... The new nose looks great.
SteveG Posted March 28, 2014 Author Posted March 28, 2014 Here's the rest of the parts. If I missed any other changes please feel free to point them out, I'm no expert on this kit by any means. That should cover it ... there some additional photos at the link below. http://public.fotki.com/SteveG26/67-mustang-malco-gasser-/ This puppy is going on the workbench tonight ..... I should have some in progress photos starting this weekend. Stay tuned ...... -Steve
SteveG Posted March 28, 2014 Author Posted March 28, 2014 When did it come out?! It's not quite out yet, should be just a few more weeks. This is a production review sample courtesy of some really nice folks at Round 2.
250 Testa Rossa Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 It's not quite out yet, should be just a few more weeks. This is a production review sample courtesy of some really nice folks at Round 2. So about April/May?
RatRod Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 So about April/May? It's slated for an April release.
Daddyfink Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 The new nose is a vast improvement over the original. This is a pic of an early re-issue and a resin Malco body mastered by Paul Mendoza. The yellow nose is the original version
Rob Hall Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Looks like a neat kit..never had one of these. The yellow one in that pic looks like a '65-66 style front end.
jbwelda Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 the SOHC engine here...how does it rate? is it used in other kits, or is it noticeably better or worse than other company's offerings? thanks for posting this, its always nice to see what you are going to get when you open the box lid. jb
Len Woodruff Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks for posting. Looks like they got the nose correct on this one!
SteveG Posted March 28, 2014 Author Posted March 28, 2014 It's slated for an April release. Look for them to be available from retailers the week of April 19th. -Steve
Greg Myers Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Other Malco Gasser Mustang kits : Was there one with a clear body ? Edited March 29, 2014 by Greg Myers
gtx6970 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Isn't this the kit that back in the day had the wrong body to to the actual car? Like wrong ft clip compared to the body ?
tim boyd Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Greg...to answer your question above: The same basic kit was updated to the 1969 body shell, Boss 429 engine (if memory serves correctly), new Ohio George "Mr. Gasket" graphics, and a one-piece clear body shell. It was available in two different box arts during 1969 & 1970, but never reissued after that. A couple of years ago, Round 2 hinted in one of their newsletters that this second 1969 version might be under consideration for reissue as well, but nothing further has developed to date that I have heard about. TIM Edited March 29, 2014 by tim boyd
gtx6970 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 So the body ,,, ft and rear sections are correct for the car it's trying to represent ? sorry for the questions, but the Gassers never did much for me back then . But if the kit is right for the car it's depicting I may have to pick one up for the future
Greg Myers Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Thank you Tim. I guess after they tried doing the clear body on the "Petty Charger" they just gave up. Sad.
iBorg Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 So.....do I modify the AMT 67 (which I have a couple minus chassis....great for Johan Mavericks) with a previous re-issue or should I wait for this to hit the shelves? I'm not sure this body is right but its a lot closer.... Not sure which decals are better, these or Slixx.
62rebel Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 when I saw the chrome tree and there are sidepipes in it, I was confused at first... then the "street racer" reissues popped up! any more info on how well the SOHC is represented in this one? love that engine..... built an F350 kit years ago with one in it.
tim boyd Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Steve Perry at Calnaga Castings was working on a super-accurate 427 cammer resin kit...you may want to check out his website for details....TIM
vamach1 Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Wow - someone does listen to and understands modelers.
