    I guess I'm wrong. Oh well. It's not the first time. It will not be the last.

    As far as hoping for the '74 Caprice to someday be reissued. Sorry to say the molds were modified to produce the '75, and then the '76 Caprice. So don't hold your breath on waiting for that one to be reissued. This is true with several of the old kits back in the day. They would be modified to produce the next year's model. Since '76 was the last year for that generation full-size Chevy, the dies were not modified after that. Hence Round 2 is able to reissue the '76.

    Correct lights all around? Don't all '69 - '72 Novas have the same lights? I know there some minor grille changes after the first year, 1968. And some years/versions did not include the fake front fender vents. But, I don't recall any exterior light changes after 1968. I maybe wrong on this?

    I wonder what happened to the tooling for the above MPC Chevy truck? Was it converted into the Fall Guy GMC? I'd love to see that one reissued.

    I'd like the one that could be built as a "showroom stock" Mercury Comet.

    Somebody posted a link here to this about a year? More than likely Greg? He's always finding and posting interesting stuff here.

    Wow! The above video is the first I've seen where watching paint dry is interesting. It looks too good to be true. At $199.00 for small can, I guess it is too good to be true. ☹️

    If your body is not salvageable, contact me. I have an Seville/JoHan re-pop promo from the late 70's that I'd be willing to let go at a reasonable price. The last I saw of it, it was still in mint condition.

    Okay, I do not always agree with most here on things like design. See my comments in the thread on the latest Mazda showcar others are ranting about. But, I do agree with most on the car that started this thread. That is ugly!

    In today's mail, Revell's 1969 Chevy Nova SS.

    It looks okay. Doesn't knock my socks off. I agree with Mr. Clark above. I thought of Aston Martin right away. It's a decent design. But it's missing something that makes me go, "Oh wow!"

    What was the "correct" engine in the Starsky and Hutch Torino? The new, non Starsky and Hutch Torino, comes with a factory stock 351 in it.

    I do not understand the last 4 posting here. What are these tiring to say?

    Ah, the good old Japanese. They love to make the strangest models. The weirdest one I ever seen, was a kit of a portable stereo boom box. What scale it was, I don't know or remember? It may have been 1/2 or 1/4? But not full size. I got a kick the box it came in, indicated the model came with a working speaker and a cord to plug it into something like.... a real boom box! I kid you not!

    The chopping job above is something I would not like to tackle. I can't imagine too many kids in the 60's had the skills to build a decent looking model using the technique shown above. AMT's '53 Studebaker had a much better and easier way of achieving the same thing. After seeing the above instructions, I can see why AMT did not offer the option in later releases.

    9 years after the initial release of this kit, I finally got around to ordering one today. Going to build just a plain stock SS-350. No COPO or Yenko for me. I liked them the way they normally rolled out of the factory and on to show floor of your local Chevy dealer.

    Thank you.

    The models just shown here in this thread above are very impressive. It looks like the guy has got talent. I'd like to see more of his work.
  20. unclescott58
    I'm disappointed. There is nothing above that want. I have the Impala SS (built) and the '66 GTO (unbuilt). Nice kits. But do I need another one? And it's shocking to me, to realize that 1994 is already 23 years ago. Man, where has time gone?
  21. unclescott58
    Beautiful.
  22. unclescott58
    Nice job John. A very good looking model.
  23. unclescott58
    Very nice.
  24. unclescott58
    Stunning build. Very nice.

    Great job. It looks good. I'm waiting forward the upcoming reissue. I like these old Jeep pickups.
