There's even Moore!

They also have the Moon Buggy from Diamonds Are Forever. (Make sure to tighten the wheel lugs. )

Aha - just looked at a photo of a current-issue kit's parts list and now I see the difference. Thanks Mark!

Hey all - I know the current issue of the MPC '60 Corvette doesn't have the metal springs for the front suspension, but were any of the other parts modified as well? I'd like to have mine working if all I need are the springs. Thanks!

I'm guessing that's the White cabover and tanker trailer that used to be the Mobil gas truck?

Will they only be sold there at Toledo?

Yep - Revell. I did some research on that one for the Warbird Information Exchange (Snake and Jesse are WIXers and probably remember) Boy's Life, February 1964: August 1964: October 1965: Further research determined that it was F-86F serial # 51-13082, and after being displayed at Jack's school, ended up at McClellan AFB and still survives today:

What are your plans for the '65 Valiant? Full detail?

And a '59.

So did I, about 25 years ago :

From Father Knows Best, season 4, episode 11. Clear shot on IMCDb: http://imcdb.org/vehicle_435109-Siata-208S-Spyder.html History of one particular car; some good restoration photos: http://www.automotiverestorations.com/siata-208s Somewhere in my stash I have the December '68 issue of Rod & Custom showing it getting a Chevy V8 transplant for singer Barry McGuire.

I've noticed that the taillights AMT put in its '63 Ford kits don't have the crossbars or backup light bezels. Has anyone swapped in the ones from the Mysterion? They look way better but I can't tell if they're the correct size. Anyone have a set they could measure and tell me the diameter? Thanks!

I knew the term "Opel Blitz" would be coming soon - many many builders have used that chassis, but the wheels and military tires just aren't right - and I'd like to think Round2 would rather put my money in their kangaroo's pouch than see it go to Italeri or the aftermarket. Plus they can sell the wheels and tires as a parts pack, and they could get as many variations on that cab-and-chassis unit as Moebius does on their Ford pickups. Can't hurt to suggest it.

I have an original built-up Monogram '34 Cabriolet and there are no swirl marks in the maroon plastic; it's smooth enough that a good waxing will really make it sparkle. Good luck with it!

...smoke the roaches

kill the bedbugs...

Ha! Motor Trend had the same sentiment when the car was new: "...fender skirts? Oh, come now!"

And a similar suggestion to the struggling Heller: This'll help get your Renault Estafette off the ground.

Speaking of "the real thing", a suggestion for Round2/AMT: Put your money where your mouth is and tool up a REAL delivery body and chassis for one of your existing truck kits (yes, including those wheels/tires): The Coca-Collectors would buy plenty of them, and so would the rest of us builders, many of whom would toss the delivery part and build various haulers. Consider the gauntlet thrown.

That '62 Dodge keeps whispering to me, even though (other than the wheelcovers) it'd come out looking like a clunker next to the Jo-Han kit. Oh well, I have my beady eyes on something else this week...

off his uniform

Let's see, take the tractor from the MPC Indy car kit, and the forks and wheel from the Monogram Cherry Bomb, scratchbuild the blade/chute, and...

And I'd be really excited about™ it. I freeze-framed the box-bottom shot at 1080p and... yep, they're molded in again - no stock lights on the clear red tree. Give 'em brownie points for tooling a new firewall with a separate master cylinder, at least, rather than tossing in the one from the '64 Impala.
