    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!

    Nope but you can use the engine from the 69 Mpc kit, or so I learned.

    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...

    Hi, Photo's of the 4x4 set up of this van would be nice to find. Thanks in advance Luc

    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

    The '68-'70 Charger is a prime example of that kind of styling.

    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.

    Nope Monogram engineered. The kit tanked big time, therefore never re-released.

    reissue
  12. Luc Janssens
    This one, it's the Monogram Desert Rat kit, built in the late '70s, and when the decals rubbed off, and the mirrors were lost due to playing with it, it got a respray in the mid '80s.

    Don't see a problem with the release of the '69 Camaro, Round-2s kit are much more expensive* than those of Revell and knowing car modelers they always choose for bang for the buck But I give the boyz of Round2 thumbs up for the beautiful box-art. (*) a typical Revell kit here costs 30 euro and a Round-2 40 euro

    Wonder what the cost would be to reverse engineer the Buick Skylark as.. a ) an unassembled promo b ) the annual glue kit (but with clear headlamps and what numbers it has to sell to break even If someone here has a direct open line with the decision makers at Round-2 , for them to do a poll on FB, so they can curb feel if there interest reverse engineering old kits, and if yes which ones would be the most popular...IMHO there's nothing wrong with probing Just thinking out loud....

    Fantastic work!

    odd that they don't choose the S10 SS over the GMC.

    I was able to buy an Airfix release of that kit, which in fact is just a rebox of the Mpc annual and yes when comparing the bodies (original vs '80s), one can see that the wheel-well areas have been reworked poorly. But the chrome and glass are good to restore old annual kits and promos. Here a link to more photo's of my Airfix kit.... http://ultimategto.com/modbox3.htm

    On FB I learned that Round2 didn't show the Supernatural Impala at Wonderfest, the word was that it wasn't ready yet.
  21. Luc Janssens
    Wonderfest is this weekend, so guess we will know soon what the kit will look like...
  22. Luc Janssens
    which probably be recycled for this issue, and if so darn great!

    Chris does a great job with his video's, no-nonsense builds, letting everyone see that one doesn't need expensive tools or an airbrush to build a decent looking shelf model. IMHO he's a great ambassador for the hobby we all love... Wouldn't hurt either the model companies on their site would link their products to his clips...
  24. Luc Janssens
    Would be nice if they from day one, include stock wheel covers, that way when the licensing runs out they have a bone stock kit too.
  25. Luc Janssens
    Great box-art indeed
