  1. ....and let the games begin! LOL!
  2. In the case of Revell's Nomad, it is the fit and proportions of the kits. If you watched the video, all the issues with this kit also apply to the other Revell Tri Five kits from that era. And for the Monogram, it is detail and body proportions that make it a negative kit for those striving to build something more accurate. The best way to know is by building them yourself and then making the call, and most of us who are calling them out, have built them in our past. Some of us multiple times.
  3. They where out there, not many images around, but they did it
  4. Found this doing a quick search https://www.oddimotive.com/2015/11/ And also...

  6. Don't we have a thread for this kind of stuff a bit down from this thread? http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/forum/16-car-aftermarket-resin-3d-printed/
  7. This was around 1971-1972 and it did not last that long. By the time Model Companies jumped on the fad, it was already gone from the scene.
  8. Dragster where using to get some down force and the funny car guys decided to try them, but in the end, they where of little use and a pain when it came time to work on the cars. They also became a safety issue, clipping crewmen of flying off into the crowds.
  9. Ok, and back on track!
  10. I highly doubt it, it is too new of a mold for Revell AG to give up.
  11. Actually, the Dollar is currently quite strong against the Yen, so now would be the time to grab stuff like that from japan.
  12. I think Salvino is doing pretty good because they are a Niche market maker, and only make one style of vehicle, race cars, and that keeps it pretty manageable. I am sure if they had to do everything R2 does, they would also probably go overseas as well.
  13. And I will second that!
  14. Then you never saw these! But, then again, hardly anyone did. Apparently only shortly used in South Florida. Of course, it has to be Florida!
  15. Yesterday was the IPMS Model Expo at Gillespie Field and I was trying not to buy anything, but, I could not pass up these deals! How often do you see vintage stuff for only $10 bucks! Picked up a couple of Faust Specials! But now cool! ?
  16. I'm more excited about the Amphicat than The Green Hornet
