    This will be a cool addition!

    It's not an argument, or at least I didn't think it was. I am just pointing out that it was the same kit. But, if Tim Boyd agrees with you, then it must be true. Case settled!

    So without any knowledge of having one on hand, and just going by a picture, you assume it is an MPC kit body? Come on!
  4. Daddyfink
    Very cool! What scale is this made in?
  5. Daddyfink
    Don't you have the kit to compare it?
  6. Daddyfink
    No, it's the same body. Just a different shot angle that makes the difference.

    Well, I would gladly pay the price if this where a brand new and full detail tool, but it is not. It is an old curbside style tool that was only slightly updated with a few new parts, and if they did not include the original GB parts, less parts in the box! And as times get tougher, some folks are shying away from such purchases, and some realize this is not worth that kind of money. If you have stock in the company, then you are investing, otherwise, you are just a consumer. Round 2 has their money from the shops that sell you the kit, now it is up to the shop to get a return on their investment. All you are showing Round 2 is that you are willing to buy stuff like this and that will just encourage them to keep pumping it out.

    I don't know why there is so much hanky wringing over a 45 year old kit! They have only slight "Updated it" and kept pumping it out. Why would they change it now? Most of you forget they released this kit the same year they released the Camaro! LOL! Yeah, that Camaro!

    And once again, another thread derailed.

    Sorry, my price was a bit off, it is actually more! And for a few more bucks, you can buy a Hasegawa, Tamiya or other import kit! And no, this kit just does not rank that high in quality to me! The crazy part is that I just picked up the Californian kit and that was only $32!!

    The Ford 289 in those kits could be used as a V6! That thing is tiny!

    My LHS has them at almost $45! So yeah, $24 is cheap!

    It looks great! I need to build one for the sake of my childhood. Back in the late 70's I found one of these kits at a thrift store for a $1! Bought it and then discovered that it has not Assembly Instructions! Yup, I assembled about 60 percent of it just using the images off the box and guessing, but I was unable to get it all together. But, I do have a current issue of it and it will be built!

    Nailed it! Now you need someone asking if its for sale! LOL!

    Well, they where not lame to everyone and the Deal's Wheels box art was great! I am sure they would have been more sturdy if Revell had done them in 1/24 vs. 1/25, but then again, they are only model kits, not really toys.

    So, a quick dry fit of the new Mobius Chevy II Chassis was in order, but, the rear wheel wells have to be trimmed to fit inside the wagon, so I stuck the wagon pan in the Mobius body and this is how it fits. Really well!

    They have been at my LHS for a few days now, and selling fast!

    About a year ago actually.

    I use those boxes, or anyone else's, all the time! Just split them at the seam and turn them inside out. Then all yo have is a plain brown box. I have received plenty of packages where someone has done exactly that with them.

    And I think he is no longer on the board. Last posting was back in 2019

    Got my Atlantis 1/16 Funny Car tire sets today. They look great and are a big help for those with bad Revell tires in their old kits. And no, there is no lettering on them.
  23. Daddyfink
    More like Revell of Germany

    Bluetooth Frame Rails. It's the future!

    The box art is actually pretty cool. The side panel is a bit wacky, but that is what was in the kit.
