FULL BUILD REVIEW: 1/12 Revell Shelby Mustang GT500
Luc Janssens replied to David Thibodeau's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
yummy! Keeping an eye on the progress!! BTW, David since you seem to know Ed, can you ask him if they could do a 1/12 '69 Charger? -
Do you shop online?
Luc Janssens replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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. -
Revell 1/12 Mustang GT500 now on Revell`s site
Luc Janssens replied to Hawk312's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
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. -
jo han question

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!! -
We're having a heat wave...
Luc Janssens replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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

Like I wrote it's a re-pop of an old ('80s) Esci kit, IIRC it's the only 1/24 scale military kit they have done. Italeri themselves, did a WWII Jeep (stock a fire vehicle) & Opel Blitz (stakebed & firetruck), but none were merchandised as military vehicles, Hasegawa did with a WWII Jeep and Kubelwagen. Too bad Hasegawa never did a GMC Jimmy, that is what would've brought in the bacon...though if you want one in 1/24 scale, one can buy a resin kit.

The Future is Now!
Luc Janssens replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
You'll need a license for when the computer crashes, or when parameters not fed into the program makes it go berserk, hmmm that sounds like a plot for some blockbuster Hollywood movie... -
Looking forward seeing the results...

No love for Dodge?
Luc Janssens replied to Larryhagmansliver's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Glad that I bought two when they were new, BTW I like the way Revell did the grille with the seperate insert, too bad they didn't engineer the basic and Lightning F-150s the same way. -
International Lone Star "Europe"
Luc Janssens replied to eagle2159's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I doubt it, I fear the combination is too long when a trailer is hooked up. Here in Belgium a tractor-trailer combo can't be over 16.50 meters and a truck with trailer not over 18.75 meter. There are test planned to allow longer (25 meters) combo's on certain freeways and through roads, but dunno if it's gonna fly here in over-congestion-ed Antwerp. I think if one makes it here it will be kind of a show truck.... -
Moebius Lonestar notes
Luc Janssens replied to Dave Metzner's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Dave just a thought.... Maybe also post this info on the Moebius website, so people who do not surf the modeling board also have access to that info, print it and put it inside their kit for future reference... -

Don't know what the modus operandi of Moebius is, but do hope that European distributors, after placing their orders with Moebius in the US, can have the merchandise shipped directly from China, otherwise I fear we're in for a big sticker shock. Lets keep our fingers crossed -
Revell New Release announcements?
Luc Janssens replied to Rob Hall's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I don't know about you guys, but I find Revell is doing a great job, just look at the under-body & -hood detail from the '10 Camaro, and the engine bay of the '10 Mustang coupe..... and this all at roughly half the price of a Tamiya curbsite. Thanks for showing these photo's Gregg!! -

I'll play, but I would change the scale in 1/25 (please note, that this is a dream list, and know that many of these subjects are/were available as resin copies of vintage kits, offered in a different scale, or findable annuals on the secondary market) -'68 Dodge Coronet -'69 Chrysler New Yorker -'68 Chevy Chevelle -'69 Chevy Impala -'69-'70 Cadillac Deville -'70 Plymouth Hemi 'cuda -'70 Dodge Charger -'71 Dodge Demon -'71 Dodge Challenger R/T -'72 Ford LTD -'72 Chevy Caprice -'72 Ford Grand Torino GTS -'76 Ford Grand Torino -'76 Ford Grand Torino country squire -'76 Ford LTD -'77 Chevy Impala -'77 Ford Thunderbird -'87 Chrysler LeBaron I will ad more later....
