Yea, I see that now. Darn! I keep making mistakes like that. I guess I'll just have to go someplace and beat myself, until I'm a bloody mess for doing stuff like that. ? R. Scott Aho

I'm surprised no one has brought up the nailhead in Revell's recent '29 Model A roadster kit, until Casey did in the post directly above this one. It's very nice too. Also, the AMT '32 Ford sedan, shown above, again by Casey, is one of my holy grail kits. I have no interest in another of Willys coupe that originally came with that kit. I have enough of those. But, the custom '32 sedan above has evaded me. Does anybody know. Was the kit ever reissued? Or offered separately from the Willys? I wonder where the dies for that one has disappeared to?

Back in May, before they shutdown I ordered the exact same kit of Modelhaus. I'm looking forward to getting it. Your right about the '67 Grand Prix looking better than the Bonne. By far the '67 Grand Prix convertible is my all time favorite Pontiac. Thought #2 are the other big '67 Pontiacs. In order of how I like them: #1 the Grand Prix (or coarse); followed by the Catalina with the 2+2 package; then Bonneville, Ventura, Executive, and the other Catalinas. I love mainly the front end on those cars. The stack headlights on the big Pontiacs are cool. But, Grand Prix's hidden headlights and slotted front turn signals are cooler yet. For those who don't know, 1967 was the only year Pontiac offered a Grand Prix convertible. Another cool tidbit. If you like the looks of the '67 Grand Prix's front end, but wanted something other than Grand Prix's two-door hardtop or convertible, you could go to Canada and buy a '67 Pontiac Grand Parisienne with the same front end. Along with the two-door hardtop, you could also get the Grand Parisienne in a four-door hardtop and station wagon. All riding on a Chevrolet chassis. Powered by Chevrolet engines. Even the interior was basically Chevrolet Caprice other than the Pontiac dashboard. How cool is that? I'd love to own a '67 Grand Parisienne station wagon. Can you imagine the conversations that would stir up down here in the United States?

I too am sad to hear this the news about Harry. I wish him the best, and will pray for him too. Get well Harry. Your a very important part of this web site.

Very nice job. I too built one a few months back. Other than paint and one added decal, I built mine box stock. The one additional decal was a small peace symbol I placed on the molded in wing patch that I painted white. And I built mine with both engines. Overall a very fun kit to build.

I like your thinking. That would be very cool.

Great stuff. I love it. Even if it did start to put me to sleep. That's okay. I also love the sound of the steam whistle. Haunting in a lot ways. In a good sort of way. Lovely video. Thanks.

Already got my Bondic glue from the vendor I ordered it from on Tuesday. That was very fast service! Going to start playing around with the stuff probably later tonite. I'll pass on what I find after I've started using it.

I didn't know that anybody dragged Hudsons. I always figured they were too heavy for that kind of racing. Especially with the factory six still in it. I wonder how well they did? I wonder what kind of times they got going through the quarter?

Another great review Tim. And a cool kit all of the way around. I'm glad to see the sail panel sink marks are gone. Because other than that, this has always been a great kit. The only thing I didn't like in your review, is the little teasing about another possible reissue coming in a year or so, done in a similar manner as this one. Actually I'm glad to hear that Round 2 is considering doing another kit like this. So you keep on teasing us with these little tidbits. And thank you Round 2 for another great release. I've always wanted the old soapbox derby car. Putting it with the Mueller era Elky is okay with me. I think this makes the new kit better than the original. And I'm looking forward to what ever it is that you guys shared with Tim. What you guys have been doing with AMT, MPC, Lindberg, Hawk, and Polar Lights, has truly has brought us into a Golden Age of modeling.

I'm still waiting for them to reissue the Mean Maverick and Poison Pinto.

Old news covered in another thread here reviewing the kit itself.

After going through this whole thread, I'm not impressed with any of the changes you guys have proposed here. No offense but I can tell no one here is a professional stylist. Including myself. I'm almost always impressed with well cars were originally designed, after someone changes them, trying to make them look "better." Rarely does it seem to work.

Box art like above, can convince me to buy another one. I love it.

A great kit, of my all time favorite airplane. I have a couple in my collection. Including one from Round 2s must recent release. A very cool looking and very fast plane in its day.

One of my favorite T.D. designs. Built one a couple years back.

The T-Bird looks okay. But just okay. The '50 Ford above is just plain ugly to me. Not my cup of tea.

Still waiting for this kit to comeback as an AMT kit. Even if it can be picked up cheaply as a Lindberg kit. I still want one in an old style AMT box. With AMT's old style instructions. I don't know why, but I really hate the way Lindberg did instruction sheets before Round 2 took them over. This kit is one Round 2 needs to do their magic to. Give us back the kit as an AMT.

This last Saturday our local model club (the MCCM) had a build day at a local library. I was working on my Revell 1930 Ford Model A coupe, when discovered I had forgotten to bring my glue for gluing in windows. For this task I normally use Testor's Model Master white glue. So I asked if anybody had any I could borrow. One of our members asked why I wasn't using Bondic's UV system for that task yet? He offered to let me try his. I've got to say, I was very impressed. It worked much better and easier than I expected. I was so impressed, that I when I got home later that day I right away went on eBay and ordered one for myself. There have been several talks since this stuff came out, about using it to try gluing the clear parts of the MPC/AMT Display Case Trailer together, that I've been wanting to build for a while now. This is a kit that for a couple of years I've been trying to figure out a way to assemble it that will not fog the clear parts. And yet still hold them together. Testor's Model Master white glue does not setup fast enough to really work well. And oozes out of the seams too much in this type of application. After using he the Bondic, particularly on the 30's windshield and frame, I'm thinking this made be the solution to building the trailer. Again as others have suggested trying to me in the past. Now after I've tried the stuff, I'm finally going to follow their advice.

I hope this is at least as nice as their Honda Trail 70 kit. I was very pleased with how that one turned out. I'm glad to see these two mini bike kits back. I never own either one back in the day (kit or the real thing). But, always wanted to. The neighbors across the street had a full-size ("real") Trail 70, and another a few doors down had a full-size Rupp Roadster. Got to ride the Rupp a few times. I always liked it. And thought it was pretty cool looking with that squared off fuel tank on the early version, which the neighbors had and the kit portrays.

Is this kit out already? When you click on the link included in Bob's first post here, it sends you to the AutoWorld web site, and says you can order it now. So I'm guessing its out, or will be very soon? Anybody know for sure?

The above box art has me drooling. Growing up with Comets back then i loved the old Mercury head logo and the script they used spelling out Mercury. Always thought both looked very classy. Glad to see them both back on Moebuis' box art. Thanks just for that alone Dave, if nothing else.Though the Cyclone itself will be cool too.

Why are you bringing up AMT's '28 here, all of the sudden Greg? Is it coming back out soon too?

Interesting and ugly. I've never seen that one before.
