Can-Con

I googled it.

Let's just drop it, shall we? ??

Yea, OK, I get it. What do you want? I still have time to go back and delete my post if you like?

It was released in Revell packaging a lot less than 40 years ago. But, the point is moot as I did say in my post that I seen the video and they did say it's a new body.

Barrass has a long history of putting his name on stuff he's had nothing to do with. The Monkeemobile and Green Hornet Chrysler come to mind.

Didn't stop 'em from selling the '69 GTO as a "'68". ?

Um, no, that thing had nothing to do with the show any more than the "Barnabas' vampire van" had to do with the show "Dark Shadows". Just some thing MPC cooked up at the time to sell more plastic while that had the 1999 licencing. ,,, and no, the 1/1 moonscope buggy was never modified to look like this kit. So, yes, definitely feel free to let your imagination soar !! ???

I wonder what they're gonna do about the rear 1/4 panels where they meet the ends of the rear bumper. The '68 bumper is cut on a slant while the '69 is pretty well strait up and down and the 1/4 panels reflect that. New body or change that area on the 1/4 panel? PS, just checked out the review video on the SA magazine website and they say new body ,,, but they also said the fresh air vents on the interior kick panels were speakers so ???

OK, here's the update on the '68. Now that I've gotten some other projects out of the way that I had wanted to finish, I've started on the conversion parts. Here's what I have so far,, Hardest part now is cutting away all the material that is not part of the Beaumont. ?

I hope so too as I'm about 1/2 done with the Beaumont conversion master for the '68. ?

Great looking Road Runner.

Beautiful. You don't see that kit built very often and yours turned out fabulous !!???

Love it !!

Thanks Carl.

Thanks guys. and Mary says thanks too.?

Neet. Nice clean build there. I remember trying to build that kit and a few others in the series when I was in grade school. Failed miserably.

Looks great Steve.

Good on ya Steve. I would have entered something but didn't know it was open to internet entries. Seen posting on the spotlight board that said something about DSC V16 and codive 19. Just thought it was more codive BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH and by then I was sick of hearing about it so never opened the post or looked at it more closely.

Valom Models, that made this one makes about a dozen different ones including some "verses' 2-pacs. This one came with a nice Nieuport II kit. http://www.valom.net/?page_id=29

Thanks Snake, I checked my stash and do have a nice D-VII , It's a 1/48 Roden kit and I even have some photoetch and aftermarket decals for it. I think it's gonna wait 'till I get more practice with this stuff first though. It's quite a complex looking kit in itself and I want to do it justice.

Velom 1/144 Fokker E.III Eindecker. First plane I've finished in about 10 years. Simple kit with minimal rigging. First plane I've rigged also. Yes, it's small. LOL

Very nice ! Love the color.

The ultimate red , , , HOK "blueblood red".

Ray, are my eyes going that bad or does the car in your pic have 5 spoke Magnum 500 wheels on it? I thought all Mustang IIs had 4 bolt wheels.

Now that's cool !!! ???
