Very nice.

Nice.

The before was nice. But, the after is very kool.

Very nice.

Very kool.

The '73 and '74 GTOs. The forgotten GTOs. I liked them both from day one. I was always a little disappointed that the Ventura based GTO never really caught on. True it sold better than the Collonade bodied '73. But, not well enough for Pontiac to keep the idea going. Too bad. It is interesting that the '75 and '76 MPC Ventura model kits came with a '74 GTO like shaker hood scoop. I'd love to add both an AMT '72 Ventura II, and an MPC '76 Ventura to collection someday.

As a kid I got a model of the Kon Tiki. You had to build just like the rear thing. It came with little wood logs that you lashed together with the string/twine provided. There is no way I could even build that kit today. I wish I still had it though. Ive seen the kits come up on eBay from time to time, and it's now worth a small fortune.

Good news. That's what I'm hoping for.

Yea, and I hear they pick any random half to glue to any other random half!

Man! Am I in trouble! Please don't let the model car governing authorities know what I've done. I hear they can be brutal.

I got mine on Friday. And opened it up yesterday. I love what I found in the box. Every bit as nice as Mr. Boyd indicated. I very pleased.

Still curious about the Pacer wagon that's coming. Can it be built stock?

I have no interest in this kit at all. But, I do love the new box art! Very cool.

Wow! Very nice. I too love the color.

? ?

I'm surprised you don't like this one Snake? At least that's what I assume from your above statement. Me? I think it's kind of cool.

There are modeling rules that state you have to own a vehicle that is available as model kit only? I'm in big trouble! The only car I've ever owned that meets that requirement was my '77 Volare. I wad a '62 Buick. But, rather than a 2-door Electra like AMT's kit, mine was a 4-door LeSabre. A sedan no less! I'm sorry. I didn't know the rules before this. When you guys figure out the appropriate punishment, please let me know. ? Nice looking Cruiser by the way, Tom.

Very nice so far. I really like the wheels.

I still say, "let them eat cake."

Interesting. Ray, you did a very nice job. But, I not sure what to think of design in general?

Very nice work. It looks good.

From the above perspective I would have to agree. I'm very excited that Round 2 has chosen to repop this kit, and the Honda Trail 70. And just this last week they announced that they will be reissuing the Rupp Roadster mini bike! Between the Honda Trail 70 and the 750. I found the Trail 70 a much easier build. It is a smaller bike/kit, so I guess that makes some sense. But, the Trail 70 kit just seemed a little bit better engineered to me. Again, that's not saying MPC's Honda 750 is a terrible kit. It's just got a lot of detail, and is little fussy at points. I look forward to hearing more about, and see your Tamiya Yamaha 250 in the near future. I love just about anything put out by Tamiya. I'm sure it will have no less detail compared to the MPC bikes. But go together a lot easier.

Sound good to me. Are the lines recessed into the plastic? Or are they raised? It's tough to tell from the above photos.

Thanks Don. Looks good. The only thing I don't like is the molded in "T" tops. How are they molded in? Will it be easy to get rid of with a little sanding and some putty? I've always disliked T tops.

YES! I too like others here have been wanting a first generation Bronco for years.
