MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. This should be the ones you are looking for: https://houseofhobbies.com/collections/auto-accessories/products/pegasus-rim-tire-set-1-24-312-15-8-spoke-chrome https://pegasushobbies.wpcomstaging.com/product/8-spoke-chrome-rims-with-tires/
  2. Post a picture of the wheel or the kit they can be found in and you might get more help, some of us have extensive spare/leftover parts stashes that may have what you need.
  3. I passed on this 40 years ago, will do so again. The toylike nature of this kit does not get me excited for this one.
  4. For those looking for a stock hood, there is this option from Harts Parts Resin. https://hartspartsresin.com/product/mpc-78-camaro-stock-hood/ I am looking forward to this kit, have a set of period correct rally wheels and whitewall tires, that hood from Harts Parts and a resin L-6 to build a basic Camaro.
  5. Wow, that is worse than what I was expecting. I guess I will hold on to my older MPC Camaro kits that don't have the roof issues this one does.
  6. I think the distribution is greater for the diecast cars than the plastic kits. Sure, when I was kid 50 years ago model kits were everywhere, but so were Hot Wheels and other die cast cars. Fast forward to today and model kits are primarily at Hobby Lobby and hobby shops, many of which are either online or hard to find. But I can hit up my local grocery store and they have Matchbox cars. Look at Target and Wal-Mart- they have all kinds of die cast cars in varying scales. And given that people of all ages collect die cast cars, likely a greater ROI with fewer issues than model kits. Round 2 is not going to stop offering model kits, but they have many different distribution channels to cater to and it stands to reason that there will be times when our model kit fix will have to wait a month or two.
  7. Got an email that Paul was running a sale on some CTM products so I placed an order last Saturday, it arrived today well packaged and exactly as I ordered it.
  8. check out RMR Models. Despite showing out of stock, send an inquiry, he will cast to order. https://rmrmodels.com/search?q=jeep
  9. Here ya go Chuck! https://tx3dcustoms.com/products/73-75-ford-f100-grill?_pos=1&_sid=b2bd4f64d&_ss=r
  10. That is looking quite nice, the color is great and you have the stance just right.
  11. The reality of the situation is that Gregg has been dealing with back issues as long as the magazine has been around. While I had hoped years ago he would allow someone to step in during his illness to keep the magazine on schedule, the saga continues. The number of posts here over the years questioning when the next issue was forthcoming are numerous and typically go the way this one is.
  12. I recently bought a couple from VCG and they are nice! Great service and product and an alternative to buying kits just for the engine plus you get to choose the transmission!
  13. As well as trim variants as this one appears to be the base model trim. I think the 3D aftermarket will develop the grilles needed and possibly the military equipment to do a CCUV Blazer.
  14. If someone offered a resin or 3D 4x4 chassis for these trucks I'd bet they would sell well.
