  1. That was weird, I replied to a different thread and I ended up here! Mods, are we having site issues?
  2. Bronco is new tool and the first time that model has ever been offered by a major kit maker.
  3. Tailgate is most likely closed due how they molded the body, less warpage when it is closed rather than open. Plus, I am sure you have a saw or X Acto lying about somewhere on the hobby bench. As for the tail lights, they appear to be on what looks to be the chrome tree, minus chrome. Just fill with clear red!
  4. Quite honestly, I think most of them look really goofy. I have been buying the more normal, real car, type stuff, especially the specialty stuff like this
  5. What other hobby can you spend almost $30 for a kit and then try to sell it at a kit show and you can't even get $5 for it! LOL! We can be some seriously cheap types when it comes to kit shows. We balk at high prices at the stores and then balk at low prices at kit shows!
  6. Dang! I had that Supra kit! Should have kept it.
  7. Great! Now I am nervous about opening my Moebius kits!
  8. Cripes a Mighty! First we complain about not enough pictures, bad pictures and very little info, now it is too many pictures? Come on! Like Dann said, move on if it bothers you or you don't care. Simple And to everyone, just keep doing what you are doing, its ok!
  9. Sadly large models do not have the support of the more normal scales, 1/25 and 1/24, and when they do release large scale kits, sales seem too be on the low side despite the clamoring for such kits. As a 1/16th scale fan, this is sad to me.
  10. Here is a pic of Sven's Pinto build where you can see the chassis in question
  11. Well, they brought back the Jolly Roger, why not this?
  12. I think the Advent kit was the Revell kit, which is pretty bad compared to the AMT kit. I do have the AMT kit at home and I will compare the chassis against the last issue of a Logghe car, the Cougar and Judge, and see if they are even close or the same. I also have the Pinto, Gremlin and Vega.
  13. So, from what i read in an article written by Tim Boyd, the kit had a stock body in it and used a Logghe style chassis, and apparently, the chassis was shortened to fit under the Vega, Gremlin and Pinto bodies. Thus, unless they restore the chassis tooling, this kit is not likely to come back.
  14. I am lucky to have one, the Red version, and it was miles ahead of the Revell kits! Yes, this would be a nice kit to get back!!
  15. Great trade with '70 Grande and would gladly trade with again! Thanks, Mark!
  16. I don't care how the guy presents the stuff, as long as we are still getting some kits back! Yes on the Pacer and the Rig. Don't care about die cast or slot cars.
  17. Yes, those have to rank up there for the worst tires ever made, followed by two piece tires from the 70's! How about the tires from the last issue of the Revell Datsun 510?
  18. Nice project! I plan on building a drag version, but a bit less radical!
  19. Yes! This is awesome! Glad to see it built!! Sure does bring back memories and it actually looks way better than I remembered it. Need to get me one now! Great build and don't stop building the classics!!
  20. It's just that I don't want to build them, and I really won't be able to build that many! , but I do like opening a box of a vintage kit and just looking at the parts. There is something quite peaceful about an untouched kit that is still minty fresh. Especially and old one. Off the top of my head, my MPC 67 Firebird, MPC 66 Monaco and Aurora Racing Scenes stuff will never get built. Ok, maybe some of the Aurora stuff will
  21. Oh so nice! I always wanted a convertible Ghia, but, could never get my hands on one without spending a fortune, even in the 80's!
  22. I am lucky to have The Moon Mixer, T-Bone Stake and the Medicine Show kits. I have an empty Der Guber Wagen box and would love to have it and the Meter Cheater! Anybody have some they would like to trade?
  23. Nice to see another one so nicely built! Nice job!!
