Cool, and good to hear he's back!

Nice!

Hey guys, My focus of interest is more US Muscle, but since I've seen this stunning built of this kit from German modeler Sascha Müller, I just had to buy a copy. Anyone here looking forward to this release when it arrives at your shores in a Revell USA wrapper? (Photo courtesy of Sascha Müller) For those of you who have FB https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100006453230358&sk=photos&collection_token=100006453230358%3A2305272732%3A69&set=a.2695661590658922&type=3

Never had the pleasure of meeting him, but he did some great things for the hobby, a big thank you to Mr. Schmidt, bon voyage

Someone correct me if I'm wrong... But sure they can be done, bring a bucket of cash, obtain the licensing and you're in business and instead of pantographing the wooden parts, they can be scanned, scaled down and even improved (including more detail) while still in cyberspace, anyway just my 2 cents...

Amazing seeing this, and a stop to all the rumors which were floating for decades, thanks for showing Tim and many thanks to Tim Rice and Ralph Daley for saving these from the dumpster.

A good friend who toured the Amt plant back in the early '70s once told me that little factoid. I can't comment about the Round-2s current release plan. Anyway looking forward to seeing what will be shown at the show..

I remember reading or hearing that the Garwood trash truck made it to 1/10th scale wooden pattern stage, but that due to the long strike and humidity, the wood warped so it was abandoned, also due to the fact that "work" trucks didn't sell as much as tractor trailers, which had and maybe still have that adventure/being free cowboy factor....

A beauty for sure, great job!!!

Glow2B announcement: To all those interested in the development of Heller and Glow2B Germany. For more than 60 years the construction kits of the Heller brand were developed and produced in Normandy, France by experienced staff. The Heller brand and its over 400 products were acquired by Glow2B Germany. Glow2B Germany originated from “Heller Deutschland”, the erstwhile German subsidiary. Today Glow2B Germany GmbH is one of the largest distributors of plastic models in Europe. Its strengths are a remarkably high availability of its over 24,000 active products, fast delivery, flexibility and the new Easy-to-buy-System which allows for easy ordering by traders, and delivers all requested information in a fast and reliable manner. Soon a new company Heller will come into being. It will be the owner of the brand Heller and the over 1,500 steel molds for the production. This company will undertake all future investments in new products and marketing. One of the first investments will be for the long-awaited model of the Renault Estafette. Other projects are already in the pipeline. The focus of future development will be on models with a link to the French market and French modelers. This means historic ships, airplanes, and vehicles. Military vehicles in 1:35 or 1:72 were never a strong side of Heller and will not be so in the future either. A team of French and German modelers has been formed to work on future projects. Other nationalities, however, are also welcome. The team will meet in Normandy, France and in Germany. We are happy that Eric David will be the team leader. Eric has been working to revive the Heller brand for several years. With a renewed and strong focus on the Modeling theme, Eric will be responsible for the distribution and marketing of the Heller brand. At the same time, he will help build the distribution in France of the other brands distributed by Glow2B Germany. We will be back with much additional and exiting information in the coming weeks. We are always available for any further information. http://heller-forever.forumactif.com/t10962-heller-rachete-par-glow2b https://brexitmodeller.com/forums/topic/2763-the-future-for-heller/ http://dpmv.de/181-bericht-2019-03-25-heller-glow2b

Well I haven't built my dream car yet, so guess I will build it together with the contracted resto shop, so I can detail it inside out, just as the 1:1

but once you're hooked, it's hard to shake loose I'm told.

Think I've read here somewhere that these kits mostly sell, through channels other than where us hobbyists buy our stuff and assume the runs are fewer in numbers too. But again to each his or her own....

If it sells to those interest groups, why not? it might even pay for something I might be interested in...

https://rayskits.com/decals/

Board member Ray from the Netherlands designed this set for the Li'l Red Express, which includes cluster dials, maybe just maybe he will design some more decals when the sweptside become available.

I picked up mine at a hobby shop here in Antwerp, paid €27. https://www.modelbouw-baillien.be/en_US/shop

which vendor did you use?

What IMHO would be neat is, if Round-2 puts in the round fenders from the earlier tractor too, so you end up with a 2'n 1 kit.

Also got the resin short bed, and several of the kits needed to make the conversion, still it would be nice to be able to just buy that kit ('79 sweptside 4x4) everything has been tooled in the past, and "if available" it's just a matter of cobbling it all together (like it's that simple )

Let us hope this one sells well, and maybe just maybe with the right customer feedback they will (re-)tool a (the) 4x4 set-up and add period correct (adult toy) graphics. Also if cost-effective a never released faux '79 annual can be created, the Powerwagon Macho truck (also used in the TV show Simon and Simon) If the inserts of the cab from this release can be found (different cowl, hood and grille)

darn, need a set for a '60 DeSoto I have, cuz it fits better than the clear which came with the kit. Oh...well the chase continues

This is to die for (well almost) Have that kit in my stash too, on my copy the builder build the chassis as a to play model, which means a metal axle through the engine block but the rest is mint, same for the convert I have. IMHO the most beautiful full-size Ford of the '60s. Luc

Was the builder's name Steve Goldman? If so he does build test shots for Moebius, and did so in the past for Ertl too.

Bought the Revell Ford GT LeMans kit yesterday, clipped off some parts and did some test fitting, life's good
