STOP IT Bill! No one, I mean no one, can share the same notion or have the same wacky idea that a '77 Olds Cutlass is a great looking car , but then again what was again, the best selling nameplate back in the day?? BTW for some reason that one and the '72 Buick Century are the only Colonnade style cars I truly like, the Pontiac versions for instance do absolutely nothing to me, and the Chevy Malibu only sparks some interest when it has ample open cargo space (Elky) From the Ford company I like the great "marquis" from their top of the line big cars, especially those with hidden headlamps, like the '76 Mercury Marquis brougham, '77 Ford LTD country squire Looking at the Chrysler corp, I'm voting for the '74 Dodge Monaco but also '76 Plymouth Fury and also an all new tool, for the Coronet from 71 on to 78 when they carried the Monaco nameplate, can't think of a car more widely used as a police vehicle as that one (except maybe the Ford Interceptor from the end of the 20th century) but then again it was probably the government way of keeping them afloat until Iaccoca took over...

Maybe you can by combining Monogam's '87 Turbo T-Bird and one of the pre-facelift T-Bird Drag cars. Think that's what Art did, back in the day of AAM.

Bill, the more you show this T-bird the more I want it. anyway do hope more big cars of the '70s get kitted, maybe they were unreliable and slow, but then....there's still such a thing called nostalgia, especially to us who were kids in the '70s, they were the cars we grew up with, no more no less......

The only other 1/24th scale Unimog that I'm aware of is the one by Lassen project. Sadly it tanked, too bad cuz the next version was on the design table....

Dunno...whenever I watch the news or close my eyes I see a Ford Econoline cab....

Plus unlike the FB's, they're a cheap canvas for those who wanna be a race wannabee , both 1/1 as in scale. But I guess the market's isn't waiting for such a kit, the baby-boomers only seem to embrace, nostalgic re-pop's of kits, they had as a kid. Sigh...

Another one I'd like to see as: - Bluesmobile cruiser - Mount Prospect Illinois police car - CHP police car - and with some mods (I think) a Hill Street Blues cruiser

add one vote from me.

Cool, thanks for the link!

I think that if George Toteff, would've done 1/20th diecast models (not kits) a void in big scale auto toys would've been filled, (a void left when sheet metal toys went out of fasion) and 1/18 would not have existed. just my 2 cents...

Well it "is" a Funny car

More like an upscale Palmer

Dunno what happened when that kit was designed, the windshield lays down too much (like a modern car) and cuts into the dimensions of the vent windows; making them so small that they could be used on a 1/25th scale model kit. I had the lesney era copy of this kit, but sold it, after looking at the body....

Great looking M-B, remember when that kit came out, one guy in the Verlinden club, (who later built display models for Tamiya Europe), made one in metallic green it was awesome, he was an artist with an airbrush...sadly I Iost track of him, but was told that he stopped with the hobby altogether.

I know Rob, but still odd Revell Germany releasing a model of a pickup rarely seen on European roads, but again the situation could be different around (former) US military installations. It kinda reminds me of the '90s when GM was marketing and selling Pontiac Firebirds here, while Revell Germany was re-boxing Revell USA Camaro's....

Sure....I knew a guy who had a body shop, and he used to buy M-B and BMW wrecks from Germany and could make one car from two wrecks, this was in pre-airbag days.

Strange they again release the '97 Ford F-150 again, 10-15 years ago I picked up a copy at house-hold chain store, which at the time, also liquidated leftover/old stock from Revell and Italeri. Also odd, because in my neck of the woods, the one US pickup which sold, and is still selling (in much larger numbers, compared to Ford and GM) is the Dodge Ram, but it could be that in Germany the market differs, especially in regions, where US military personnel was/is stationed. Input from our German board members requested.

Welcome, and don't worry 'bout your English, I for instance, never learned it in school, just picked it up along the way by watching US TV series, films, subscribing US car and model magazines, and I'm sure, you will too. There's a quote I like, which came from the German movie Das Boot, and it reads; Übung ist das halbe Leben ! Anyway again welcome and enjoy your stay here.

Again clean work, great build!

Aoshima is going to sell a bunch of wheel sets....good for them cuz I like them tooling up more ;)

I'm sure many who buy these, will put on bling bling wheels to mimic cars shown in music video's and youtube brag clips....

Klasse gebaut, Micheal!! Willkommen zum forum. Gruss Luc

I hope Moebius has secured exclusive rights, cuz IMHO it would harm their investment if Round2 decides to backdate or reverse engineer theirs.

Just sipping on my morning coffee and find this nice surprise! Can't find a better way to start the day...positive waves all the way Ps. Think Moebius now needs to tool up a '68 Olds 442 ragtop, cuz somehow when seeing this pic, in my mind the song "Stay the night" by the band Chicago started to play... Cheezy '80s music video (and yes I know the model year of the Pickup, differs from the Moebius mockup)

If the Ireland custom fees are doable, maybe you can order them in the US?!
