If this rumor has some merit, then IMHO it would be about who's going to to the R&D on anything automotive, but again pure speculation on my part.
the only guy who can shed some light on this is Dave Metzner, the Moebius brand R&D manager.
My first new car was almost a Manta, the last ones which were produced in Antwerp plant 1, but decided the then all new Omega instead, with a huge discount.
Anyway beautiful built, great car from days gone bye...
I have a couple of the original Monograms, IMHO a great kit, the only let down are the tires which should've been like the ones in the '87 T-bird kit, then it would've perfect ?

Thanks guys..
Anyway googled trailers and found that real ones are not difficult to make some C-Channels and you're on your way....it's one of those other wacky ideas I have a Mpc Ford 4x4 Van I wish to turn into a dirt bike racing support vehicle, trailering two dirt bikes.....now don't tell that to the powers at Round-2
The pics of this test shot are promising, cuz at the time of the announcement I feared a lot of simplification and design short cuts a la Panamera.
It looks like the bean counters were convinced by R&D crew that the current hobby market doesn't accept mediocre kits anymore and that short term profit is long term disaster.
Looking forward to its release, but not to the season.
Here also an interesting later model variation, which to me is smoking hot!
Thanks, guys, I was playing with the thought to use a Ford set up due to the limited Fr. overhang, now the hunt for parts is on...
The (long term) plan is to turn one of my Dodge window van kits into an Alaskan wildlife tour or polar bear spotting vehicle with roof-rack for backpacks and stuff...
A good friend sent me the following Moebius (Model King) kits
'66 Ford F100 Flareside
'65 Ford F100 service truck
'66 Mercury Comet Cyclone
I'm a happy camper
If the body isn't yet prepped for paint, maybe consider modifying the panel between the taillights, its vertical on the model but needs to be at an angle top to bottom.
