Can-Con

Um, just so you guys know, Billy hasn't been here in over 12 years. I'm sure he'd appreciate the comments but I doubt he'll see them.

Can't help on the red things but I do know where you can find that scoop. The '75 annual had one too. The MPC "Street Shark" custom Vette kit had one too but the sides were flat, not concave like the Duster annual kits and the one on the Mustang in the pic. Happy hunting.

Maybe??

OK, so, I got an answer back from Mobius,,, or more like an non-answer, I guess. ? But, at least they are aware of this thread. "Hello Steve,Well, a nudge is as good as a wink to a blind bat.Perhaps? That thread on the Model Cars Magazine Forum that Daddyfinkstarted has a screenshot picture at the beginning that is not ours. Butthen again, everything on the internet is true you know.... That's whythe aliens brought us flying cars 20 years ago!Hope that helps some.Erik SolieMoebius Models"

Now we're getting 3 different companies involved, Alan, My fault. But none the less, anyone who's contacted Mobius on the subject has been told it's not true, at least in the near future. I've also just sent off an e-mail to them asking about it so I guess we'll see what they say to me and I'll copy and paste the e-mail I get back for all to see.

There was a brand new sheet included in this kit. Funny thing is about 20 years ago I had all the parts gathered up to build the '57 " Judge" but after a new house move and 3 floods I lost track of all the parts ,, but I do have that new decal sheet now. ?

Well then, I'm sure he would definitely have better information on what Mobius is coming out with in the near future then anyone actually involved with the company. ? But, Yea, as Jesse said above, we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

If your talking new underhood parts, I'd say a proper set of inner fenders with shock towers would be first priority. That would be a nice addition , not only to this kit but their '69 Mustang and cougar kits too.

Well, Steve G. said it's just an internet rumor but I'd imagine whoever this Wes guy is on Facebook would know better. He IS on Facebook after all so ???

Actually, Tim, and you may have forgotten but those same wheel covers were in the MPC '68-'70 Charger annuals.

He'll do custom colors and may also do scales Curtis. Just takes a bit longer to have the sheet custom printed. You'd have to ask. He'll even put your choice of tire lettering and license plates on the sheet.

Scale Motorsport has these. They come in sets of 2 in 2 different sizes but they're bloody expensive.

I'm 100% positive those are the Revell snap '57 Chevy wheels you have there Bruce. Here's what I'm using a set on,,

That's ridiculous. You need to find a new hobby shop 'cause your getting jipped. My local shop here in Fredericton has it listed at $49.75 cdn.

That looks great Johnny but it's not the same kit I'm working on. Yours is the Revell '31, I think? My kit doesn't have that feature. The hood is supposed to fit tight against the cowl. I do have it fixed now. I filed some material from the bottom back of the rad shell where it goes into the notches and added some shims to the front of the notches so it's tight. Everything fits pretty good now but I should have checked it before I painted the fender unit.

Didn't think to try it. I have it corrected now though. I filed some material from the bottom back of the rad shell where it goes into the notches and added some shims to the front of the notches so it's tight. Everything fits pretty good now but I should have checked it before I painted the fender unit.

The latest reissue of the MPC '29 Woodie. Never had one before. some surprising quirks to this kit like the separate framework for the body structure. Can't say I care for how the suspension goes together and it would have been nice to have a dropped front axel but I'm gonna try to use what's in the kit to keep things simpler. One thing I did do was cut the cowl away from the woodwork of the body to make painting easier. When I mock up the body, hood and rad shell, it seems the rad is too far forward but it's sitting in slots so it should be right. I'm gonna see if I can get it back farther as it looks like the headlight bar will hit the rad if I leave it where it is now.

Don't know how I missed this last week. I also started one but I'm going a simpler route [??] and will be using mostly the kit's suspension. Dennis, how is the fit on your kit between the cowl, hood and rad shell when using the original fender unit? On mine, with the body on the fenders and the rad in it's slots, the hood seems about 1/16 too short. It seems the rad is too far forward as it looks like the headlight bar will be right up against it when installed.

Yes, it was originally the Horn Toad.

double post. ?

Gareth, just so you know, if you're going for a stock style build, the carpet would be blue, close to the upholstery colour. Most pics show it slightly lighter but the shades were never a %100 match. Black carpet would only be used with a black interior. Sometimes a white / off-white interior with black dash but IIRC, that wasn't available on the '70. Your arm rests and handles look great.

You have a Sand Crab, Les?

That's actually one of my favorite box arts, Alan. I love that it's basically black and white with red as the only actual color in the artwork. I started to build a quasi-box art car years ago with the Revell multi-piece body kit , which I actually like better then the AMT kit. And, yes, I do have a copy of the original.

Craig is a excellent builder. He's done some pretty cool stuff. But his build style and mine are not quite the same.

Just got a reply from Don about the magazine article. He's correcting the master, sending me a corrected copy plus printing a correction notice in the next issue and sending me a copy of the one as well. So everything worked out fine.
