Console is not right for a '64 Merc. Looks identical to seats in my original issue '66 Cyclone, from what I remember. I'd have to dig it out to be 100% sure. Scott

Beautiful! Scott

Looks great! Just in the last month I built simular '67 Falcon that I picked up unbuilt in the box. But, I didn't pay only $13.00 for mine. Very nice save. Scott

By the way. I notice above that Revell released a USRRC version of the Cobra with figures of Carrol Shelby and Ken Miles. I'm try to remember, was there another Revell kit of some sort that came with a figure of just Carrol in it? Scott

I built the Revell Shelby Cobra 427 S/C in the last year and half or so. It's a very, very nice kit. And it comes with Halibrand wheels. Scott

Why not? I can/could do it. The right tools and a little care. No big deal. Scott

Awe.... I hoping this was going to be about Studebaker Land Cruisers. If it was, make mine a '51. Scott

Oh, by the way, the Fujimi GT-40s are great kits. Despite being curb sides. Just in the last week I finished my Fujimi Mk I. My Fujimi Mk II should be done sometime next week. And my MPC Mk IV in the next day or two. The MPC Mk IV has a lot more detail than the Fujimi kits. But, it's lot more difficult to build, and has a lot of things that are not correct on it. It is turning out to be a nice model though. Scott

Bill - Ace, you've got your GT-40s identified correctly. The top and bottom ones you show are the modified Mk Is use in '68 and '69. The Mk IIs can be quickly identified by two extra scoops on the rear deck. Mk III is a street version with round headlamps and a longer rear deck. Mk IV is a totally different car all together. And then there are Mirages. They look like Mk Is with pinched in cabins. And are not included as true GT-40s, as Ford had nothing to do with them directly. I love the GT-40s. Including the Mk IIIs and IVs. I like the Mk IIs the best. The Mirage just doesn't look right to me. They did not have the success on the track, like the other race prepped GT-40s. And I don't know why, since they were basically the same cars beyond the cabin? Scott

S and O would be fine with me. Tough choice between the two. Scott

Watching Mannix right now. The episode I'm watching and have just watched, Mannix was driving the '69 version of the above car. Always loved Mannix. And loved the cars he and others drove in show. Very nice model by the was. Scott

Oh... The above joke is bad! I like it! Scott

The above discussion reminds me of past history. For all of the bad things one can say about unions, there is a reason they came about. Someday the public will get tired of the way things are going, and turn to things like unions to fight to get back their rights. But, with unions and "union wages" being looked at as villains now days (and some cases rightfull so). It will not be happening in the near future. My Dad was with the Teamsters for thirty years. He never got rich, but provided us with a nice middle class living. And he had good health and retirement benefits right up until the day he died. I wish I had what he had back then, now. But are unions or my elected officials looking out for me today? I think not. Scott

The seats are Mercury alright. But, from a '66 or '67 Cyclone, looking at the console. The interior bucket is from a mid-size '68 - '70 Mopar of some sort. Again, looking at the console. Scott

What are conceding? What about the blower? More details please. Scott

Ditto. Scott

If I have to pick. I pick D. But, none of the three really do much for me. Scott

Nice model, and nice story. Scott

Wow! Thanks again Tim. I've said this before. Your reviews are always the best. Scott

The truck your showing is from the generation after the models Moebius is bring out. Scott

Oh come on. I am the center of the Universe. Everything revolves around my belly button. When are you guys going to learn that? Scott

Pants have been invented? Wow! Good news! Maybe I'll get arrested for indecent exposer less often now. Good old Abe. I knew he could do it. Scott

Like others have said. Cool! Scott

Man, I'm irritated going into the "news and reviews" threads a reading nothing but how people can not wait for this or that kit to come out. This is particularly true with future Moebius kits. I go into those threads to learn about the kits themselves. Are they any good? What do they look like? What comes with the kit? Are there problems to watch out for? If it's an older kit, what has been changed since previous releases of that kit? And if somebody knows a release date for sure. I could care less if one is waiting for the kit to come soon. For the most part, we all are. And telling us about how your waiting for a kit doesn't make it get there any faster. When you got news, or a review, then go ahead and write about the kit. You can even write things about the kit that I may disagree with. But, in the mean time, I could care less that your sitting on pins and needles waiting for the kit. So am I. That's why I'm going to the "news and reviews" to read about the kit. The other thing, is people writing their posts in script here. I've brought this one up before. Read the posts written in script is tough on an iPad or other tablet. It might be fine on a regular computer screen. But, it just doesn't work on a smaller screen. Now true, this is my problem for using my iPad for this. But, I like to read what everybody has to say. And I'm sorry to say, but I'm not going to sit in front of my old computer, when I can sit in a comfortable chair with my iPad, in my living room and do the same thing. I have no problem reading post that are printed. Quit with the script please. Let me read what you have to say. (Unless your just going to tell me how anxious for a kit to show up, with nothing else to say.) Scott

Very cool! Nice to see the kit. Can't wait to see and hear more. Like others, I too plan on buying one. Scott
