kelson Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Does anyone have an idea when this beauty arrives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Does anyone have an idea when this beauty arrives?Nothing on the Moebius website nor Tower Hobbies, but considering the only changes (based on box art) appear to be the grille, I would think it could be here by the first of the year.Hopefully Dave Metzner from Moebius will chime in with an expected date.

carnut Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hopefully they will at least fix the inline 6, has anyone taken a close look at the engine block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk11 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 It's been discussed, along with other things that would be a credit to moebius to tweak. I'm not holding my breath but just hoping, as I make my own corrections, they will consider some of them. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnut Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Mike, I agree I will make corrections to it when I use it in an AMT 49 Ford Coupe project that I'm planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repstock Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Tom, Any update on your fine resin conversion? ??No. The idea seems workable enough, but the execution just doesn't cut it for a resin master. It's just not crisp enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 No. The idea seems workable enough, but the execution just doesn't cut it for a resin master. It's just not crisp enough.Maybe not, but it still looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you recommend bezels and possibly show us where you sliced and spliced grilles? I may try it. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike 51 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) No. The idea seems workable enough, but the execution just doesn't cut it for a resin master. It's just not crisp enough.Sorry to hear that..it still looks far better than Moebius' clumsy attempt at measuring/modeling the grille for this truck. I sure wish they respected their customers enough to fix such a glaring error... Edited October 29, 2015 by mike 51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk11 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) It is amazing how much can be forgiven as long as the 'face' of a kit is right. When it's so obviously out of proportion, everything else is suddenly suspect. Not that we can probably expect corrections on this one as it was a limited run, but if they do reissue it, we can hope they're listening. It's an unfortunate hiccup in their well done variety of kits. Perhaps if they're planning to market another pre-70 edition, say, a '67, both grills could be done at once. I guess the magic word so often missing in these kind of reviews should be added here: 'please' mike Edited November 25, 2015 by mk11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt T. Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Agreed. It's a great kit, except for that grille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
