For a company like Moebius it wouldn't work indeed, only for a manufacturer who caters the whole spectrum of the model kit market, cuz once the model is in the 3D files, they can adapt it for the various scales and needs, that come with it.

It sure is a beauty Matt! Still kick myself for not picking up the version with the snow flake wheels, like these a lot.

My motto is form follows function, which means if a extra part adds value to the model, be it in better detail, ease of assembly for instance for painting, then I'm all for it. But parts just to show off what a manufacturer is capable of, no thanks, cuz then we end up with almost unbuildable kits like the Mirror Models Diamond-T wrecker kit....

Odd that they needed to restore those fueltanks and spoke wheels, cuz were't they also in the 90's release?(red truck on the box-art cover, with a white one on the side panels)

She's a beauty!

A very good friend who isn't (yet) a member to this fine board mailed my the following...Shelby Trans Am

Just when I was thinking a retailer/wholesaler should comment on this...

Approval by the OEM and licensing cost of the product itself. and then you can sell bagged shots, cuz designing decals and box will add costs, not only in the design, but again needs approval and licensing from all the sponsors mentioned.. just sayin'

A short mid term post from the instigator of this tread.. Thanks all who commented, already learned a lot and please keep it going! Luc

One of the worst kits, with faaaaaaaaaaar too sunken glass, is the Revell Germany VW Corrado kit(s) I tried to improve it somewhat making the windshield a flush fit, but lost interest and gave it away to someone who loved to have one....now he has to deal with my hopefully not too crappy work.

James, I did a lousy job of making my point, which is or should've been, that this "model" seems to do well (not breaking it down in Pro-street or stock version) not questioning it's return, no matter which version.

The thing I get from this promo clip, is that Mopar B-bodies seem to sell well, cuz this kit has been around the block a few times now. Is it the Coke bottle lines (which mimic the female curves)?

I only used the 1mm pen so far, and "chromed" some molded-in the body headlamp buckets with it, and absolutely love it. For the interior details I would like to see a 0,5mm version, and maybe with enough demand and support from the trade, it can happen. So Brett, you know what to do

Paul, if possible aks him for photo's and if you may show them here. TIA

My 6th grade teacher drove one, I hated his guts!

Interesting topic.. Wel on modern automobiles where the black fret hides the glue, I'd say mount from the outside, just as per OEM. the location of the weather strip (on the clear or on body) hmmm, dunno which one would be better/easier to paint/mask On vintage (pre mid '80s) I prefer from the inside, the thickness of the pillars can be hidden somewhat, when one designs the clear with a precise fit (taken into account paint thickness) to the surround (windshield or backlite opening) but with a small almost "flash like" flange, (I think with current CAD technology a lot is possible) as a positive locator, glue surface on the inside.

In his day and age, multiple versions are a must, I'm only trying to find out if Trans-Am is a viable alternative version or not. Then I need to find out how much of the content can be shared between stock and racing, because that can be a deal breaker too

I'm sure they have a long long list, the only question is, what is the top 3 on theirs

Bill, for some reason there's a 5 choice limit in the poll format

Gents... Was reading a tread about what cold be next at Moebius and saw pics of Trans-Am racers. Therefore the above question....

Would be nice, but it doesn't fit the Moebius "philosophy" With that I mean they have to able to release at least 2 siblings from that same basic tool, so they can spread the investment costs and generate more profit. Anyway...patiently and hopefully waiting for Dave to announce the next all new automotive kit(s).

That one takes me back to the pilot episode of The Wonder Years, seeing an elky on blocks in a driveway

add to that shipping and floating time.

-I only tried the 1mm pen so far, and so far had fun "chroming" headlamp buckets from kits which didn't have those as separate parts on the chrome tree. kits like Tamiya's Jeep Grand Cherokee, Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC, MB 600 SEL and S600, etc.......

Thanks for posting what might have been, Dave. A pity that the tool is gone, but...then again the market isn't there anymore
