    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.

    Very nice. I actually liked those cars when they were new. And still do. The perfect "300" for the time.
  6. unclescott58
    Fine. I maybe wrong. But, I've never seen or heard a PMC in either 1/25 or 1/24 scale.

    Thinking about it, I decided to go back to Model Roundup and pre-order the kit. So that's now taken care of.

    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?
  10. 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.

    I didn't expect just a television test pattern. I don't understand why someone feel a need to post that here.
  12. 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?
  13. 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."
  14. 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.
  17. unclescott58
    Yea! Both you and I both get it. It seems like common sense to me. The vendor has indicated he's planning on refunding my money.

    I'm okay with MPC keeping the '73 Mustang kit just the way it is in it's latest release, as a '73 Mustang. What I don't like is them doing trying to pass that kit off was a '71 or '72 with just a different grille insert.
  19. unclescott58
    I hate to beat a dead horse. But, here are the box art for the original MPC and AMT annuals, and the later MPC/AMT Bos 351s. Again, you can see on the box art how the '73 Mustangs changed in appearance in more than just the front bumper and the grille. The headlamp bezels were also changed. Which I really disliked.
  20. unclescott58
    Correct grille? Isn't it too narrow? Designed to fit in the '73 Mustang grille opening, which in turn is set up to accommodate the large squarish headlamp bezels the '73 Mustangs had? It's those headlamp surrounds that bothered me the most in converting my AMT '71 Boss 351 into a '71 Mach I. As you can see, I painted the chrome headlamp bezels flat black, which helped. But, it's still not really right. For either a '71 Boss 351, or a '71 and '72 Mach I.

    A fun and odd one in today's mail. Roden's 1/72 Opel Blitzbus Ludewig "Aero" (1937). A neat little model of an odd looking pre-war Opel bus. What's not to like? Roden makes another odd looking Opel bus in the same scale that I should be getting in another day or two. I love weird things like this. Speaking of weird things, I got a Greenlight die-cast '68 Nissan Patrol in today's mail also. The vehicle itself is not weird part. The the vendor shipped it to me is. He took a brand new in the package toy, folded the top of the packaging over, and a stuffed in a box. ????? ? I don't get it! As a collector this no longer new to me. I'm keeping it. But, I've ordered another from another vendor. I'm waiting to see what the first seller has to say, before I leave any feedback.
  22. unclescott58
    Just seeing this for the first time. I really like it. It looks right.
  23. unclescott58
    I've seen better.
  24. unclescott58
    Me too! I expect more. ?
  25. unclescott58
    Another one I'm waiting for. I love the both the regular and RS front ends. I maybe lean to the RS front end a bit more. But, we've had enough models of the RS versions over the years. The regular full bumper front end will be a nice change.
