  1. Round2 would do well to start the Falcon revival with the '64 Falcon kit. It looks to cover all the bases with Rally, Stock and a mild custom. Of Course it is missing the later Gasser Front Axle Parts, but those might be able to be included. https://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/1330/1964-ford-falcon-sprint-hardtop To my Eyes, the '68/69 Falcon looks like a completely different kit, but I am no expert on Fords. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/ford/1961-1970/amt-1969-ford-falcon/jojo0310.html https://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/1253/amt-1968-ford-falcon
  2. The Wheels & Tires, the Matching Steering Wheel, the Hood "Eye" vent fillers and the Grille are all bad, really. The Only Custom part I really like is the Front Bumper with the built in driving lights. As I said the 1960 Pick Up kit is great, but I remember piles of these at Big Lots and K-Mart the first time this custom came out. So, while I applaud the Gorgeous Box Art, the kit contents are still not great.
  3. Wow! What a piece of work. This is a real Model, not Shake-and-Bake. Can't wait to see how it looks when finished. Alan

    Sure Looks Sharp. You just don't see Tri-Tone paint very often. Good Show!
  5. Veery Nice Build! The Dark Maroon is a great choice. Good Show.
  6. The Colour really makes it "Pop"! You nailed the 1970's Beach Vibe! Good Show.
  7. Awesome Pair of Super Stocks! Great Ford! Good Show.
  8. I like it all, but I'm a fan of the Triple Carbs, rather than the scoop. Other than that, though, Model On!
  9. Looking Good there Car 385. Good Show.

    Long Dodge

    What a Unique Build! Good Show.
  11. Awesome Build! A rolling Chassis is always a work of art. Good Show.
  12. Just Superb re-styling of what was a pretty grody custom. As others have said, it looks like a factory design study now. Good Show.
  13. Yeah, I'm getting real slow loading of pages today. Everything seems to 'hang' before loading.
  14. I think this will be done by Somebody other than Round2/AMT. But, It will get done sometime.
  15. Joe, here is what Scalemates says. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/renwal-152-99-1930-packard-victoria--324171 https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/1/7/1/324171-63-instructions.pdf It appears to be a Packard Victoria Model 745, body by Dietrich
  16. Wow! What Terrific Building Skills!
  17. Looks Great. Keep up the Good Work!
  18. Better than putting a '32 Grille on Everything.
  19. It is IMHO, a pretty lame set up, and all the more dated now. The truck would have looked better with a more Classic Hot Rod Look (Skirts, Multi Carbs, Different wheels) than the Billet, 1990's look it now has. But, I'm glad to see it anyway, as I like the 1960 Chevy Truck.
  20. It has been awhile, but I can also drive the 3 pedal Planetary Transmission in a Model T Ford. Tricky at first, but after a little bit, it becomes second nature. A 1926 T was my daily driver from 1989-1990.
  21. I liked them back in the day, but, they have not aged very well. At least Round2 put in better tires this time.
  22. Everybody has been sick with Covid. Been eating whatever we can find, as nobody wants to cook. At least we did the Big Grocery Shopping the day before we got sick, so the pantry is full. Had take-out pizza tonight, to try to tempt the 5 year old to eat. (He did eat one slice)
  23. Boy, isn't that the Truth!
  24. There used to be an aftermarket company out of Spain, that did a Round Headlight conversion, But I don't know if they are still out there. I found them by searching thru the links at the Rocketfin Car Links website. https://www.rocketfin.com/model_car_links.html You might look there.
  25. Always Nice to see another Landy! You did a great job on yours! Good Show.
