Being from the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" you'd think I would have remembered something like that. I just could not come up with the name of the "steering fin thingy" when I wrote my post. And I knew it was something simple like the word rudder, that I should have remembered. ? Scott

Nice job. Scott

Very kool! I love it. The flys are a nice and proper touch. I also like backward R.F. on the rear of the car. A lot of neat details. I'm very impressed. Scott

Very good. Since that's the case, I'll be buying one. Scott

Very cool! Looks great. The only problem I see is with the horse's head. It looks too big compared to the rest of his body. It makes him look more like he's a mule or donkey rather than a horse. Even with his armor on. Still it's cool, and always to see these old kits built. A built nicely like you did with the above. Scott

If this can be built factory stock, it will for sure be added to my collection. I don't know why? But, I'm skeptical about this one. I really hope I'm wrong, and we do get this one back in it's original form. Scott

Wish I had seen this years ago. I'm sure it would have solved a lot of the problems I was have with my Dodge Aries at the time. ? Scott

I keep wondering why the Willys from the above ☝️double kit has been reissued so many times, and in so many ways? Yet the Ford, as far as I know, from that kit has never been reissued? I know of the other more "stock" '32 also shown above. And I love to see that one reissued. But, I'd really love get my hands on the version that came with the Willys way back when (1964?). Scott

Not a bad kit. Scale looks a little off to me. I built one about two years ago, and I was happy with results. The trailer comes with fender skirts. They look cool, but are a little tight fitting. Not allowing the wheels to roll once they are on. Which is okay with me. The only other problem is the vulnerability of the steering fin thingy under the back of the boat. It's very easy to break off if not careful enough. Need to find a glue that will hold it better, so it doesn't get knocked off as easily again. Scott

Is BVD an authorized Mopar aftermarket accessory? I thought to be correct it had to be Fruit of the Loom or Jocky? Which ever one soaks up the gas best, can be lit easily, and not be detected easily by the fire marshals or insurance investigators. ? Scott

An RX-7 may end up in my collection too. Scott

Glad to see the '70 Charger and '76 Torino in stock form. Those two move on to my must have list. Scott

Your gas cap looks better that the one that came with the real car. But... it's not factory correct!? Scott

Another great review Hpiguy. I subscribe and follow you on YouTube. But, still it's great to see you linked up back here too. Keep them coming. I love your enthusiasm. You always sound pretty excited as you review most kits. And I like your realistic views on what the hobby should be about. Having fun! Scott

Going back and rereading things a little closer, I'm very disappointed that the Revell announcement about the Cobra Coupe is an April Fools Joke. In fact I'm more than disappointed. I'm bit pissed. What a mean thing to do. Scott

I have no problem with that. Just want to may sure others know what is "factory correct." But, as far as building the way you like it. I say go for it. Scott

And your point is? Your right I didn't read any of the posts in this thread until today. Then I decided to make my comment on it. What's wrong with that? Scott

1980 had the "goofy" cap. 1976 did not. Scott

Go look on the web. Look at the sales brochure. My factory salesman's feature book mentions it. The "goofy" gas cap in the kit is the correct one. Like it or not. Scott

Very cool that Revell is coming out with the Shelby Coupe. I didn't know about this until now. It now on my must have list. I look forward to adding it to my collection this fall. Scott

That "goofy" fuel gap in the kit is correct for the 1980 Roadrunner in real life. Scott

I vote for the Riv. Make mine a. '72. Scott

Interesting to note. The box for the wagon version does state that is a "'52 Custom Wagon." I'm guessing that's how they explain the car as having only two-doors and the exact same interior as the Fleetline kit. It is obvious the only difference between the two kits is the center body section with the roof. Pyro was saving some tooling expenses in doing a variation off of the '52 Fleetline kit. I'm sure they thought that most kids did not know that Chevrolet did not offer a two-door wagon at the time. Or would care. And if they did. Like I point out, it states that it is a Custom Wagon right on the box. Scott

Oh wow! I'm sad to hear about this. And yet I believe he's now in a better place. Bless you Harry. You will be missed by us for now, who are still here. Scott

Interesting thread. It makes me rethink whether I really want a wagon kit or not? If Round 2 Lindberg chose to reissue it, or I could pickup an unmolested one, I probably would. But, knowing what I know now, I'm not going to go out of my way to hunt one down. Scott
