Don't you mean there were extra parts in the Hudson? Cuz on the chrome tree it seems that they removed "extra wheels" after plating. Boo Boo! ;^) But all kidding aside...took the kit to a model meeting last Thursday and Moebius got some new customers...

Yes we're seeing some great subjects materialize, but...one thing sticks out when reading Gerry Paquette post about the new releases, and that is that a bowtie snapper is the bestseller at Revell...

yes, due to much smaller production runs today, its best to pick one up now, when interested. The funny thing is that in '03, I remember seeing the kits at a Hobby Lobby in Springfield MO. Like you, I never picked one up....

Sadly, I can't make it to Chicago this year, cuz after being dumped by my former employer (together with 5000 others) I'm back at school, training to become a heating technician, and can't take a few days off.

Wait 'till you check your wallet....Gregg is charging a substantial fee for the honor.

Hmm...I don't see any bashing, some concerns maybe, but nothing brutal, but keep them treads going, publicity is what Moebius needs ;^)

Kewl! Will they be at I-Hobby?

Wow, Dave, that is going to look fantastic when finished. Revell here proves the nay sayers wrong, great kit!

Good to hear, please post teaser pics, when the issue is resolved. Thx. Luc

Chris, why don't we reverse the question, and prove to the readers here that it is 1/20 scale, you're a Brit, so I guess easy to obtain accurate info, about the dimensions of the real deal and the plastic kit. Facts and figures is what counts..... Regards Luc

If every member here, agrees on just "one" automobile, and transfers a C-note to Mr. Schmidt, I'm sure we will have a brand new kit by 2013. ;^)

looks beautiful Gregg.

Thanks all, for your input! Best regards Luc

Hmm....when using a code and.....,asking some "basic info" one could obtain, useful info!

Hello all, I’ve been following David Thibodeau’s tread, on building the new Revell 1/12 scale Mustang kit and noticed that there was some confusion, on what the finish of the chassis looks like. Now this and also those returning questions like, “what color is this part, on that year model X”, got me thinking on a topic I’ve touched before in the past, which is: Wouldn’t it be useful for us model builders if model companies, could post some sort of photo album on their site, for every kit in their catalog. They already have the photos, because they used them to tool up the kit, so why not make them available "on-line" to their customers? IMHO when clicking on the online catalog photo of kit x, y, z.., short cuts will lead you to the building instructions and a photo page, as per building sequence. I’ve seen that some manufacturers add photo’s (some in B&W) on their building instructions, but I think they're too small to be useful, but when online, one could select and if you don't like staring at a computer screen when building, print the photo you need. Anyway…, what I would like is your opinion on the matter! Thanks for your input. Luc Janssens

The Willy's and the '40 Ford are absolutely fantastic Dr. Cranky!.

Revell needs to release a pre-painted (in this color) version of this kit, for the holiday season. Can't wait to see your kit finished David!

The reason that I shop online is, because American kits are hard to find here and when a batch of them does arrive, they're a lot more expensive, then when I order them online from ebay from a US vendor. Kits of European manufacturers I do buy at stores or swapmeets, cuz they tend to be much more expensive when you order them online (shipping charges) When I'm visiting in the US it's mixed, I may have a stack of kits which I bought online waiting at a friend, but I love to check out the local stores, and buy until my suitcases and carry-on baggage are full... last time I even met a MC boardmember who works at a hobby store in Chicagoland.

I saw the build up at I-hobby last fall, and fell in love with it.... I'll order one later this year, to put in under the Christmas tree, chances are that some aftermarket updates sets will be available by then.

And then he sees your face, when you find out the tires melted into the clear parts and that the body is a short-shot. Priceless!!

Harry, can we do trade? Send some sun our way and I'll. give you some (or a lot of) rain.. It's supposed to be summer here, but has been raining since last week, with temps in the high 60s, sometimes low 70s.....

Was surfing the net and was wondering if there would be anything new on Dave Metzner's photo album...then I noticed that the Hudson Hornet test shot album was updated 7 days ago...so here goes... Click here
