Awesome Detail Work. Very Clean building style! Good Show.

Oooh! Now that is a fabulous build. The Detail is Superb! Good Show.

Thanks for sharing. As usual, Moebius Decals are "Sparse"..... I wish they would put more effort into their decals.

Man, Build it OOB and you'll lose your AMS Modelers Card! (sarc)

They'll get two kits out of this line up, for me. The BRE Datsun Truck and the Red Merc Cougar. But, not much else, so far. There will be more announcements, I am sure.

Great News!

Beautiful Work! Good Show.

Wow! What a Great Save! I've always wanted that DAF 2800 NTT Kit. Goes for crazy money here in the US, and that is when you can find one. I keep hoping that Italeri will release it again someday, but I've been waiting 6 years, and had now luck. You Version hits the Farm Truck vibe really well. I see similar trucks, here in the town where I live.

Wow! What a Great looking pair of cars! They both Rock!

Indeed. You can have Lousy, Toylike kits. Or no Kits at all.

Yes, it always has been. "Walk on the Wild Side" is too.

The Cougar should be very nice.

I wonder if the Wagon will be Kerbside or Full Detail? My guess is it will be the Kerbside kit. Not, that there is anything wrong with that. And it should have Awesome Decals!

Cut Them Some Slack. AMT was losing money, kids were turning away from model kits, and old tools had to be re-used because there was little budget for new tooling. Little did the (Don Draper types) in charge know that 50 years later, folks would be B++++in' about their Cheap Re-purposing of old tooling that was going to be scrapped anyway into money making "Toys!" to 12 year old kids......... They saved AMT and that is what paid them. Not Realistic Depictions of fictional race cars. I'm glad that folks are so creative now and can fix what they see wrong, but dumping on these isn't fair. "Butchered" is hardly fair.

I have 2 daily drivers. 1987 Toyota Camry. Purchased new by my Grandmother in 1988 from Longo Toyota in LA, it then went to my folks 11 years ago, and came down to my last year. 110550 miles, all original. This is the exact car, when new. A/C is out and with daily temps over 100 Deg every day, It is sitting right now. My Other Daily is a 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500 4x4, crew cab. (Just like my truck. Hard to find pics of these wheels)

Wright R3350 Turbo Compound Radial Engine The PRT. Power Recovery Turbine. One of Three on the Engine. Known by Mechanics as the "Parts Recovery Turbine" due to the Many Engine failures they caused. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo-compound_engine

Wow, the box art alone will sell this kit! What a Home Run.

I really dig the paint! Those Colours work well together.

Ideally,in the most perfect form of Modeling a Lowered car, the Running Boards or lower door sills will touch the ground, and all 4 tires will not. Extra points are awarded if the tops of the tires protrude through the upper fenders...

They do.

Glad to see this come back. A very nice kit to build. The decals are seriously boring. Glad to see the little 'Gubbins' included, but would be nice to have seen some attempt at some Drag Race decals since it has Slicks and a Blower......

I have three 1980's originals in my stash, and a new one from HL, waiting to be built. This build looks excellent. Good Show.

The Badman has a decent 1/24 scale Small Block too.

Built One? You are the only person I know who even has one. (Most of my Modeling friends all build aircraft or tanks)
