That model is gorgeous! Thanks for posting pictures of it.

Great job Wayne. The paint and decal work is really stellar!

Looks very nice!

Looks great!

I really like this. I have one in the collection to make as a race car, but I may have to get another because yours is an outstanding representation of the car.

That is a gorgeous build!

You are correct Bill. I read an article on Mobeus ( before they were acquired by the new owners), but their business model was that the kit had to fill a need in the market place. But most importantly, they had to get 2 - 3 different versions of the kit from their molds to make it worthwhile for them. This is how they can produce the shorter runs because they will make multiple versions from the mold.

Johnny, you are absolutely correct. The utopia of the greens is to have everybody live in the cities in high density apartment type buildings. The problem with their fantasy is that this type of living is not suited for families or people who just want some space.

Thanks for providing the tip Steve. I have been thinking of trying this for a while now (I build primarily race cars and these don't require foil) when I build a street car. Your post confirms that this will work. Thanks again.

Great job! The paint and decals look great.

It wasn't Revell that caused the problem. It was Hobico. Revell was according to reports at the time doing quite well for them.

Great job! Looks really nice.

Looks very nice!

Great job! The paint looks great and the foil pops.

Very cleanly build. Great job!

Looks great! You did a great job with this model.

Good job. A very cool looking car.

Gregg has floated the idea of a paywall for this site and it gets overwhelmingly shot down. A large number of those who object are non subscribers. Perhaps it is time for some tough love. I don't know as I am not in the know as to what is going on. I will say that some more communication on the Model Cars Magazine site might go a long way to helping people understand what is happening with the magazine. It was mentioned that Gregg had another medical procedure and it was posted on Facebook. Why not post it here as well? I made a post earlier in this thread about the magazine, and had I known what Gregg was going through, I would not have posted what I did or would have stated it much differently. One cannot control everything, but one does himself a great dis-service by not controlling the flow of information as others will gladly fill the vacuum. When others fill the vacuum, the flow of information usually becomes distorted to say the least.

Another great looking Ford!

Great job Steve. The decal work is superb!

Great job! The aero work is outstanding.

Looks outstanding! Excellent craftsmanship.

Those are fun models to build. Fortunately, the decals are plentiful in the secondary market. I really suggest Wet Works decals for the Mountain Dew car. They got the green the closest to the actual car.

Great job Steve! The Tauruses (or Tauri for the grammarians in the crowd) had a reputation for being a finicky model to get right. Yours looks outstanding!

Bill is absolutely correct. However, the thing that I find perplexing is that we keep being told on the website that the problems should be behind them soon. The last time was in September. It is now 4 months later and nothing seems to be resolved. I have been asked to renew my subscription, but I have two or three more issues on my current one. I am reluctant to pull the trigger on the renewal. It's not necessarily because of the money, but with the pace of the magazine's production, I have 2 - 3 more years before my current subscription expires.
