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?

Colonel Decker in hot persuit of the À Team?

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.

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"

Uh...wasn't that one released Q4 2015? or was that a different kinda Ratty Rod?

Thanks for the review Tim, hope to obtain a copy this summer.

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.

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.

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

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)

I wonder if a '78-'83 Chevy Malibu coupe would fly.

Every cavity comes with a cost factor, a number I heard a couple of years ago was, that it leveled out as $1000 per cavity x2= $2000.

If planned and done right, they could do any Firebird between '71 and '81. The only question is, is there enough interest in that gen. bird.

For those of you who don't read German, plastiktruck says: Hi all, there is a photo-etch set for this kit, which I also bought BTW And you can order it....(see his link)

I agree with you, plus I think that kit would be great to present as a resto mod.

Yep that site went into oblivion, not sure if there were build in measures to keep it fair play et all. Anyway, a site like this one is to small and doesn't cover or reach all the people who buy models even sporadically, think social media are better marketing tools, everyone is registered, no ballot stuffing and a broader and more diverse crowd. Wonder what a white mid '90s Ford Bronco would do if it was dropped there.....

Yeah I saw that Bill, but it was all in Japanese, so I searched if Hobby Search carried that product too... About the rule thingy, easier to enforce when you ban all links to vendors, be them foreign or domestic, model kits or aftermarket products...

You're welcome Bill, besides as you know it prohibited, per Tom's rules, to post links to vendors on the SH board. Then I did a search here and was surprised, no one posted about this new product, so I did...

A modeller from Down Under, named Dan Chalker brought the following to my attention.... http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10375903 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10375904

Hmm....will have to open them up and use some leftover, Monogram '79 Mustang headlight buckets, fit to size, will see if it works when I receive my copy.

Looks good, only too bad they didn't include chrome buckets for the headlamps. BTW is the area behind the lenses, flat or concave?

As a Belgian and also European, I wonder if there would be interest in an all new '69-'70 Cadillac Deville, which internals then also could be used for I'm guessing '65 up to '68 models. Or is that era Cadillac best forgotten?

Let me add the '68-'72 gen Pontiac GTO's to the pile. Then a '67 from the '66 tool, cuz the Coke bottle lines come out prettier on that one. For the TV and movie buffs, I say....a '74 Dodge Monaco, in Bluesmobile, CHiP's and maybe Hill Street blues wrapper....

Was thinking the same thing, Bill. And the next phrase Jim quoted from his conversation with Ed Sexton at the Milwaukee NNL, fueled that idea, why else would one start from scratch, instead of using in part, the 1997 engineered Pro-modeler kit. Crossing my fingers....

It would've been released by now, if it was that simple... Body tool (core, top, rear, LH and RH, plus sliding feature) Hood (1 core and cavity, and add 2 more core's and cavities, when the hood scoops are part of the deal) Tail lamps (2 core and cavities) Front bumper/grille (1 core and cavity) Headlamps (2 core and cavities) parking lights (2 core and cavities) front valance (1 core and cavity) Exhaust tips (2 core and cavities) Interior side panels (2 core and cavities) What kinda money are we talking about here, an optimistic 50K?, not counting tool re-arrangement for the Duster kit?
