In the past on some kits, Revell had pre-painted windows, wouldn't that be better? Just wondering that's all.

Yeah, as soon as he hit paint, I was thinking, maybe I should send him some sort of rule of thumb, but then again, the show isn't about being accurate, he paints as he goes along, and most weekend modelers probably do too, also the low threshold makes it clear that it's ok to build for yourself and that not everything has to be turned into a rat race. sit down relax and build a kit, is what his show is all about. And for the hobby this can't be bad. Cheers

Depending on tooling lay-out, to cut down time (waste*), specific to both, parts could have been run already. * Tooling set up time, test shots.

Hey guys, Saw the following review put online today, by our friends from the German model magazine Kits Review Online https://www.kitreviewsonline.de/werkstattbericht-chrom-spray-39628-revell/ Please run the detailed comments thru Google translate if you don't understand the German language.

IMHO it would be neat, if the guys at Round2 could include the wrecker parts which were in earlier variations of the Datsun flip-front P/U in the stock version. The Coronet I already have on pre-order, ready for pickup when back in the US in April, hopefully the H/T isn't far behind.....

Hey guys, just stumbled upon this.... Kitsworld | 1:24 Car Seat Harnesses

For those interested..... Airfix 1/24 Peugeot 905 review (xs4all.nl)

got it too, looks like a great kit, but for now I've got other projects going on.

Can't wait to see the parts breakdown on this kit, as they IMHO do lead the way in finding creative solutions to what otherwise could cause somewhat problematic assembly or painting issues. Cheers & happy holidays to all. Luc

Some neat all new and modified releases coming. Danke fürs Teilen Thomas!

Molotow is the game changer here, cuz in the old day's I fearlessly would've advocated for chrome buckets.

Me too!

Know what you mean, in that respect the MPC Ford van is the better choice for a mobile workshop, but it never has been offered that way, so while it would be cool, I assume much less likely to happen.

I have.

Dave, Was the street rod, not more or less based on John Mueller's car? Remember going to a local speedshop in the Dubuque area, with him where it was getting rebuild, back in 2005.

At one point in time, Mpc had a workshop interior for the Dodge Van....

Remember the release of the Tamiya MB and the Hasegawa Jag, they also did a few Ferrari's.... fun times

Maybe a good idea for Pegasus to re-release one of the Galaxie gooseneck trailers.

Odd, that Round2 didn't use the more modern tires Amt/Ertl tooled up in the late '80s, like on the Ford Probe and SVO just to name a few, or don't the wheels in this kit fit those? Anyway....when I get my hands on this kit, I'm gonna dig in my tire vault.....

First build in years, skills were rusty, saw it more as a re-learning experience, one of the lessons was not trying to do the maximum, in the too-short bench time. other than that I'm pleased with it, so up to the next kit, which is in primer as I write this.Cheers!

Done!

I only know Plato told the story of Atlantis around 360 B.C. The founders of Atlantis, he said, were half god and half human. They created a utopian civilization and became a great naval power. Their home was made up of concentric islands separated by wide moats and linked by a canal that penetrated to the center. The lush islands contained gold, silver, and other precious metals and supported an abundance of rare, exotic wildlife. There was a great capital city on the central island. But they still didn't find it, so no news to report
