Wild Hoss Bronco
mikemodeler replied to iamsuperdan's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Nice start! IIRC, back when those came out the way most people lifted them was with taller coil springs in the front and lift blocks under the rear leaf springs. Fireball has a kit for the Revell first gen Bronco, I will have to check to see if it would work on this MPC kit. -
The Round2 FB page had the November video posted today. Very light on product releases, only two model kits with one of them being the MPC Dodge Charger kit from the 80's and the other was a figure if I remember correctly. Likely won't see much until next year.

Been saving my lunch money for this show all summer long, looking forward to the new venue and expanded show! Got my early bird pass and hotel room so all that is left is to get to Cartersville!
-
They do so well Revell is bringing one out next year too. Not sure what the differences are between the two but I am sure there will be a lot of happy modelers.

The Future of Revell...for 2024 at least.
mikemodeler replied to niteowl7710's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I see a 68 Firebird or two in my future and probably a couple of those Blazers. If that F-350 doesn't have the plastic tires then I am in for one or two. The '79 Camaro having new parts makes me wonder if it is just a re-hash of the old kit with the T-Tops? Between Moebius, the Dodge Warlock and this news, going to be an expensive year for me ! -
Yep, that Warlock will sell well, been a long time since we have had a 4wd Dodge pickup to build.

Modelroundup announced this kit and the '63 F-100 Camper kit are available for pre-order with a November delivery estimate. -

That looks awesome Chuck, nicely detailed and love the two tone paint job! -
Rust-Oleum tends to go on thick and therefore is not ideal for model building. There are many alternatives that will yield a quality paint job without the long drying times of enamel, lots of posts on this forum to read through. What works for one person might not work for the other.

The trailer is a bit wider than the Revell and AMT trailers to fit the wider stance of Wes's modified kits.

I have seen several posts on Facebook that Steve Magnante is experiencing some serious health issues and is in the hospital. Prayers that he is able to recover, he is a huge presence in our hobby and the car community and would be missed should he not be able to beat this illness.

Cool stuff, I need to build more before I buy more! -
Does anybody make this siren?
mikemodeler replied to 1st 700 Quad's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Check out Dave Parsley on FB, he makes all kinds of unique stuff, he might have that. -
My wallet is safe this month.

Revell Bronco question.
mikemodeler replied to NOBLNG's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
As far as I know, they are shut down. -
27 years? I'd say you got your money's worth and $1300 is cheap for a replacement

Need to keep an eye on the news, rumblings going on that the UAW and the automakers are going to have a stare down over the new contract and the UAW is threatening a strike. Lot's of money at stake, much like the UPS deal and any work stoppage will delay your order.

My apologies, I thought it was a legit obituary and knowing that he and his health had been discussed here, I posted it without knowing it was a fake, it was a long day yesterday and I was pretty tired when I saw that and should have known better. I met Donn years ago at a show and he seemed like a nice enough guy. Sorry to have caused any problems.

Re-setting aisles in retail stores is a very common procedure and could mean they have more stuff coming into that aisle or need to adjust the shelves or locations of the models. Their selection depends on what their buyers choose or are offered by the model companies and I am sure they know that Mustangs and Camaros are must haves!

Need help with Mad resin.
mikemodeler replied to Mike C.'s topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Kris Morgan is here on this forum, search his name and send a PM. That is how I do my orders and it's flawless. He's a one man operation, not sure how much help he gets to update the website and process orders. Buy with confidence, Kris is a standup guy. -
AMT 1/25 2021 Bronco First Edition
mikemodeler replied to Jordan White's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I picked up my two at the CKM show in Clemmons NC, thanks to Wes at Wes's Model Car Corner. Already started looking at what tires/wheels I have to swap out and also looked at making a half cab conversion.......It's no wonder I never get a model completed! Lol
