  1. That's the story....tire tooling is very expensive I've always heard, also in this case because they can't, be used for other Revell products. But they can get around that by retooling simple wheels, which fit existing tires, so guess, there might be more that is keeping these from returning. Maybe Mr. Boyd can ask the powers at Revell....
  2. $120 for a mint Mpc '66 Bonneville. but if you're meaning a new release, $55 for the Meng Ford P/U and $75 for the Moebius International Pro-Star in Revell Germany wrapper. Anything I get in from the US, hovers around the $35 mark (mostly due to shipping costs)
  3. Hopefully finally a 4x4 version of the Moebius Ford truck, with bad a$$ big off-road tires and wheels, gimme some excitement guys! ;^) For the rest, your guess is as good as mine...
  4. hmm, while I like the Turbo version they did in the 80s, (beter wheels IMHO) I have to wonder if that kit in part can be used to make an all new 1/25th Scale version.
  5. As bad as I always hear they were, one can't say they're ugly, in fact for an American car of that period they're prettig and clean, just as your model Steve!
  6. Isn't it there to cover up, spotwelds or so? Just guessing....
  7. A cherry red '32 Ford highboy roadster, on the coastline road between Cannes and Saint Raphael (French Riviera) and too many recent Bentley ragtops to count, think they're givving them away here.......
  8. and they only had to pay for the licensing and retool Some bits and pieces to make it....
  9. Indeed, I asume it comes without a trailer?
  10. I feel your pain, as mine does the same, but in Dutch.....
  11. The '49 Ford coupe looks like the box Side drawing of a drag car named gas man, is upgraded to box top art. wish i coul link the pic, but dunno how to do it from an i pad.
  12. Hmm... The El Camino with soap box derby car, looks like a modified re-creation of the original '69 kit, with the new tool '68 and I'm guessing discovered soap box derby car inserts.
  13. I like the way you think Jeff!
  14. Bill, a factory build limo would be nice too, just sayin'
  15. I'm betting Chief Joseph is going to create Some fat off-road footwear, body lift and accesoiries for this baby. For the Bronco that is.... anyone here have some more ideas of what van be done with that kit?
  16. Colonel Decker in hot persuit of the À Team?
  17. Odd, just earlier today, while sipping on a glass of white wine, at a beachside restaurant, I was thinking, when would Revell announce the Q4 releases.....then a hot blond got my attention, and then I blacked out....but now I know why wife packed that rolling pin.
  18. Maybe some feel like they're sponsoring the Christian version of I.S. iMHO. Religion divides instead of uniting, therefore I don't want to be part of any, which makers me a sinner by default to many of those "gentlemens clubs"
  19. Uh...wasn't that one released Q4 2015? or was that a different kinda Ratty Rod?
  20. Thanks for the review Tim, hope to obtain a copy this summer.
  21. The body of the Mpc kit is marred by pesky sink marks, on the "end caps" front and rear. Don't have the latest reissue (only the molded in black street machine) I think Round-2 can avoid that in future releases, by opening up the panels, on which you'd have to glue the tail-lamp housing, as well as the front grille, leaving only a small ridge or so, to have some locator and glue surface. Just my humble opinion.
  22. Got in the kit last week and I noticed that the Mpc kit designers back in the day, forgot the tool up side pipes for the custom V8.
  23. While not unwanted on my part, that kit IMHO is a few decades too late, cuz the interest in this subject peaked, when Arnold Schwarzenegger / ex-governator had one. It's kinda up there with a mid '90s Ford Bronco
  24. Always found it odd, finding a promolike feature on this otherwise state of the art kit. Also probably because it's one piece, they didn't engrave some of the grillework below the grille divider under the headlamps. If I were king, all that front chrome, would've been a 5 piece assembly (LH&RH headlamp bezels, grille, bumper and divider)
  25. I wonder if a '78-'83 Chevy Malibu coupe would fly.
