Dave Metzner Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Latest news on the Ford pick-ups is that third test shots ought to be on the way in the next 10-15 days. Work is underway on packaging and instruction sheets.These should be final test shots. If all goes to plan we should be able to get these kits into production shortly after that. Once I have new test shots I'll try to get a 71 Ranger XLT built up quickly for box art and instruction sheet photography and will post some photos.

angelo7 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Are there going to be a long bed and short bed versions? 6 cylinder or 8? Or is it just one kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Are there going to be a long bed and short bed versions? 6 cylinder or 8? Or is it just one kit? There will be multiple versions of this kit- long and short bed, 6 and 8 cylinder engine. I suspect that there will be 4wd versions as well as an early test shot revealed a 4wd setup.

lanesteele240 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Put more pics of the real truck on the box. Not the same pic five times like some kit manufactures do. I would much rather have real cars pics than artist representations or test pics so i can do a kit without looking all over for pics.

mikemodeler Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Thanks Tim, those looked like nice renditions and hopefully a sign of things to come. I did notice on the Tower Hobbies website that they have these listed for an April 2015 release, were you able to get any updates from Moebius on a release date? I ask because Tower tends to run a couple of months behind and the last word on here from Dave Metzner was possibly December 2014. I am saving my lunch money!

tim boyd Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Mike...no I didn't ask about release dates. Given the variables involved in getting a kit to market, my own philosophy is that any date a manufacturer states may well change anyway, There was a huge scrum of people around the Moebius stand during much of the event; even though I didn't ask, I'll bet others did. Anyone hear anything that would answer Mike's question? TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
