New Kits of Old Subjects from Round2
Luc Janssens replied to Casey's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Interesting topic Casey and one which I've been advocating since Round-2 took over full ownership of the Amt/mpc legacy and hardware The subject matter I would choose:. - '71-'76 Pontiac Firebirds - '68-'69 Dodge Coronet - '70-'71 Plymouth 'Cuda - '70-'71 Dodge Challenger - 71-'72 Plymouth Roadrunner - '72-'76 Dodge Tradesman Van Updated promo style (separate hoods, clear head and tail-lamps) and all shut-panel lines engraved, would be even better if they would do the interior bckets with separate side-panels snap styles, but that's probably pushing it -
JO-HAN Molds?
Luc Janssens replied to gbdolfans's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
with the prospect of some lawyer coming out of the woodwork, for copy right infringement? There's a reason no one succeeded in doing anything positive with the Jo-Han legacy. -

JO-HAN Molds?
Luc Janssens replied to gbdolfans's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
no worries, the mind sometimes plays tricks on us, anyway the reason I remember the date is that I visited the RCHTA show that year and together wit Dean Milano , organised the Hobby Heaven party. Okey was a exhibitor at the show and visited the HH party. -
JO-HAN Molds?
Luc Janssens replied to gbdolfans's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
IIRC that was 2003ish, the police car also had vacu formed glass included and a much better newly designed decal sheet. -
"correct" scale for new releases
Luc Janssens replied to Motor City's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Personally I always preferred the 1/24th scale of the Monograms, but later I went for subject matter over scale, besides it's not because something is labeled in a certain scale, that it is, case in point some of the AMC kits by Jo-Han. Build what you like, all the rest is not worth worrying about Cheers Luc -
I enter this one....it was out in the 80s then everything gets a little fuzzy on the whereabouts or condition of the tooling. Even if they don't find it, or fell off a forklift or so, no biggie...cuz the late 90s designed '71 Charger kit has the guts one needs to put under a newly designed shell preferably a '72 with the elastomer bumper option, what do you you all say, yea or nay?

The big question is, is the tooling still there, and if so in what shape?

Kits in Walmart For Christmas
Luc Janssens replied to OldNYJim's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Mark guessed one, the other was a rather great one, but only as an annual That makes 3 As many of you know the Covit-19 pandemic, brought the classic hobbies under the attention of the general public again, with soaring sales as a result, and personally do hope that many newbies stick with this wonderful hobby, but despite the great efforts that specific company makes, retrieving and updating many childhood dream kits, I don't think IMHO that the aforementioned releases notwithstanding the great subject matter, are helping the cause.

Kits in Walmart For Christmas
Luc Janssens replied to OldNYJim's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Two kits I rather would not see offered to a novice builder, which despite the great box-art rather harm than promote the hobby. But that's just my opinion. -

Selling Car Model Kits on eBay
Luc Janssens replied to dwdirks's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Can't remember the last time I bought on ebay, cuz shipping from the US to Europe has been going crazy, as are the import duties, which take all the fun out off it. Now I again hop at brick and mortar stores or at shows, but since Covit-19 BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH I haven't bought anything, just the opposite, gave 300 kits in consignment with a specialty dealer nearby.
