Sharp Builds! Thank You for posting these. I hope my builds of these kits come out looking half as good as yours!

Wow, a combo I would never have thought of! Great work, on a unique build! -
Review of Revell's new chrome spray paint
stavanzer replied to Monty's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Why in Tarnation is there such a rush to Clearcoat your Chrome? Clear Coats yellow, and dull, after time. Too Many coats of finish begin to Blur and Obscure. 17 Layers might be fine for real 1 to 1 cars , but I think that many of today's Modelers have an obsession with finishes that might be a bit obsessive. Spray, your chrome of choice, install it, and be done. -

Odd Place to Find Models
stavanzer replied to Calb56's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have been buying things at Re-Sale stores (Goodwill, Salvation Army, and others) for 30 Years. Goodwill seldom lets Model Kits escape to shelves, now that they have the 'shopgoodwill' online store. Other stores get them some times. Estate sales have been a loser for me, but a fellow member of our local model club, goes every weekend. Most times he is skunked, but when he scores (4/5 times a year) he hits it big time. Last haul was 75-80 car kits for 50.00 bucks. Most were 1990's trash, but a good dozen or so were worth listing on eBay. He made about 300.00 from those. He has found at least 2 Pocher kits, and those sold well too. Model kits are every where, but finding them second hand takes time and luck. -
Great Build! I really Like how you are building it.

Scalemates is a crowd sourced website. It is very bad about kits and timelines. I refer to them, but never trust them. The issue is that somebody will post accurate info, and then the next guy comes along and changes the good info, for his (poor) understanding of the same. Revell/Monogram, and AMT/MPC kits seem to have the most errors. Monogram kits in Revell boxes, and MPC kits in AMT boxes seem to collect the most mistakes. It has gotten better, but I would not take anything on the site as gospel with checking someplace else first. Regarding your specific question, I suspect that the 2014 Falcon is this kit. -

Very Sweet. With Today's building and finishing techniques, I have no doubt some very sharp models will be built from this kit. -
Will the rear bumper for the '69 Falcon work for you? I have the Mod Stock '69 Falcon, and would gladly send you the bumper, if you want it.

Moebius Wrecker Truck Announcement
stavanzer replied to Erik Solie's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Wanting one of these. I remember the Ford Wreckers being far more common in real life, than Chevies. Not sure why. -
Times were different back then. But, it should sell today, I would think. But, I suspect re-issuing this kit is not a priority right now for Round2 with the success they are having with the cloning programs. Those kits create much more "Buzz" than a few pre-tooled damaged parts for an evergreen kit would produce/ But, You never know. I'd but a couple just to have fun with.

Thanks, Scott, I checked out his engine. It looks really good. I might be getting one.

What the dickens is this car? I've never heard of it before, but It is Awesome! I want one!

So, for a closer to stock build, I need to swap the engine. I cannot imagine this barge with a 6 or the 302! Guess I'll be on the lookout for a 390 or 429. I'm really beginning to like to like this kit. That Hemming's article really makes me want one. Maybe somebody will do a resin convertible body.

Did this kit ever have a Stock Air Cleaner, ot just the Dual Carbs and Air Horns that are shown in my kit? (the 2004 version)
