    Lots of good stuff here. I love Max's model company history videos. And fun and fascinating to read the article on SMP from back in 1980. Always interesting stuff to me.

    I subscribed the first year after it came back. I don't know why, but I just didn't enjoy it as much as I did as a kid. So I let it go.

    Ads like this had a major impact on my love for the '71 Mustangs when they first came out. I though they were great looking cars the first time I saw them. And then Bond driving a basically an identical car in Diamonds are Forever. Frosting on the cake. I like the Mach I without the optional stripes, like seen in the ad below or the Bond movie. At the same time, I hope if Round 2 releases the Bond Mustang, I hope they give the option of the stripes on the decal sheet. I may not use them. But, I like option of using them if I wanted to. By the way, Diamonds are Forever is still one of my favorite Bond films for more than just the Mustang. In August of 1970 on a family vacation, I got to see Las Vegas for the first time. Being under age, only 12 at the time, I was too young to go in any casino other than Circus Circus. So the Bond movie the next year not only showed a cool car I loved, but the version of Vegas I was first exposed to. And influence by. With many scenes filmed at Circus Circus. How cool was that? So I really do hope Round 2 does for sure do the Bond Mustang. But, please Round 2, do it right and don't give us another MPC Boss 351 based on the '73 kit.

    Very cool Falcons. I like them.

    Stunning. I'm not a big fan of vinyl roofs. But, you did a great job, and it looks very good.

    A nice Impala and a great story.
  7. unclescott58
    Very nice.
  8. unclescott58
    Wow! Looks great. I personally think it looks better without the continental spare. Very clean looking.

    I'm with Ken. That Airfix Mercedes 280 SL is hard to find. I too have been looking for one. Your very lucky Claes.

    Well Chris, if there's something wrong with you, then there is something wrong with me too. This is first time I've ever heard or seen anything about this. It's great! Cool track. And the right amount of humor. I love it and will be watching more.

    Okay. Weird bus #2 arrived in today's mail. Again, it's by Roden. It's also in 1/72 scale. And is also based on Opel Blitzbus chassis. It's called the "StraBenzepp Essen." I don't think it's as nice looking as the Ludewig "Aero," but I like it none the less.

    Looks good from what I can see. My all time favorite car is the '37 Cord 812 Sportsmans. But I find just about all Cords beautiful. Any chance of seeing more pictures of the front of your model? I'm curious to see how you handled the front differential. Something that always stands out on an L-29. And to me, helps give the car a look of power.

    Looks good.
  14. unclescott58
    Very nice. I actually liked those cars when they were new. And still do. The perfect "300" for the time.
  15. unclescott58
    Fine. I maybe wrong. But, I've never seen or heard a PMC in either 1/25 or 1/24 scale.
  16. unclescott58
    Thinking about it, I decided to go back to Model Roundup and pre-order the kit. So that's now taken care of.
  17. unclescott58
    Model Roundup is listing September 2020 for the release of the full bumper 70 1/2 Camaro. That's only three months away. I hope they're correct, for that's not too long of a wait now.

    Thank you Rex for the above info, and the look at the non Mach I/Boss 351 grille. It looks pretty good. Does it come chrome plated?
  19. unclescott58
    Your way beyond me Mr. Zordlowski. Remember I'm just a hick from flyover land. We're not as slick and as sophisticated you New Yorkers.
  20. unclescott58
    I didn't expect just a television test pattern. I don't understand why someone feel a need to post that here.
  21. unclescott58
    You mention that Kevin @ Missing Link has a more correct grille for the '71 - '72 Mustang Mach I. In doing a search on the web I can nothing on it. Do you have any photos showing what it looks like, in case it's need for correcting the front end of the upcoming '71 Bond Mustang?
  22. unclescott58
    Of course Keith Marks make proper '73 Mach I decals. And of course I have set waiting for the time when I get around to building Round 2 most recent release of the kit, which I have in the "to do pile."
  23. unclescott58
    Never noticed that before. But, I think you might be right!

    This is the second problem I've had with an eBay vendor in the last week. Yestday I got a Tamiya 1/35 Schwimmwagen that the vendor claimed was "new" in the box. As soon as I open the packaging and saw the box, I knew there was something not right. The box did not look "new." And opening the box, it was full of parts from several different kits, with no Schwimmwagen in site. I quickly contacted the seller. The mail carrier picked that one up today, to go back to that seller. A couple of months ago I had a similar experience to you Tom, when I ordered a Walthers N scale pre-build water tower. It too was shipped in a bubble mailer. Between the the packaging it comes in, and fragility of the legs of the tower itself, things did not turn out to well. Then the vendor was not easy to agreeing to fix the problem or refunding me my money. Most vendors I've dealt it on eBay are great. Either sending me what I want in good condition, or taking care of things if there is a problem. And rarely is there a problem. But, once in awhile...

    I got this exact same kit a few months back. I also got some aftermarket decals to do the RC Cola version of this car.
