That would be very nice if it did.
-
But, it looks like all the clear parts are in the kit. Even the Domes for the old Sheriff's Blazer are there.

Atlantis Models has bought another lot of tooling/molds.....

This ^^^ He has gotten the right of it for many buyers. -
1/25 AMT '65 Chevy El Camino "Gear Hustler"
stavanzer replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
It will be really nice to have this kit back with this camper. The decals should be something to see! -
I wonder if the kit will have Vinyl Tires or Hard Plastic ones? The instructions show the Hard Plastic.

HPI Guy 1985 Chevy Camaro Z28 Build
stavanzer replied to Daddyfink's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
He is not for everybody. But His open box parts reviews and his Quik Builds will reveal assembly issues that might discourage a new builder. Chris is also very, very clear where is audience is and he aims for the center of that group. He is not trying for the AMS, Detail Junkie, or Hyper Contest Modeler. If you take him for what he is, (a guy who builds over 100 models a year , on camera) he is doing a great job. -

I like the look of the test shot! Make a great demolition derby car. -
David says it better than I can. Awesome Builds!

Dang! Would have been great to see.

Round 2 car and truck kit product news at 2023 DAAM Show....
stavanzer replied to tim boyd's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I'll play the game. The NNL East announcements will be something we did not see coming at all. One will be something Brand New. (Think 2021 or 2022 Model) The Other might be a clone, but I don't think it will be a promo, really. My thought is that it will be something nobody has really mentioned, possibly from MPC tooling. Maybe a Showrod or something off the beaten path. Anyway, I'll lay my marker down here. -
This is going to be a great model. Watching to see it finished.

AMT 1960 3-in-1 Ford F-100 Pickup Truck
stavanzer replied to rekcirb13's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Yes, they are. And reading the pulse of their primary market, quite well, I'd say. -
Here is the Boxart for the Time Machine.
-
Man, I too wish they would come back. But I think they are long, long gone, the tooling recycled years ago. Until somebody 3D scans and starts printing them, modelers will never see them again.

Indeed! The Sharks smell blood, and the Rats are jumping ship!

Round 2 car and truck kit product news at 2023 DAAM Show....

Great Stuff Coming from Round2! Will the '60 Ford P/U have any optional Wheels, besides the stock hupcaps? HPI Guy has a Sodbuster Kit, (and the Batmobile too!) and promises a build of the Sodbuster soon. Cannot wait for that. The '67 Merc Comet is a pass for me. I have 2 of the first releases, and new tires and decals will not open my wallet. A 3 n 1 kit would have done so. I'm really, really curious to see exactly what parts are in the '34 Ford Coupe. No Signage calling out a 2 n 1, so I guess it will be only the hotrod version. The Small Block Chevy in that kit has some great Dress Up parts for the engine. THe '65 Elky with the camper this time! Sign Me up! A great option for that kit. Lastly for me, the '92 & '96 Chevy Trucks will get a close look. Thar '96 Dually (Doolie) in particular should be a great Tow Vehicle. A Suggestion for Round2. Next Release of the Dually, pair it with the 2 axle trailer from Mod Stock Hauler, or the MPC Clear Trailer. Both Trailer tools have been run recently, and the MPC Trailer and Dually was released that way about 25 years ago. Go Round2! -
What are the very best drag racing model kits of all time?
stavanzer replied to tim boyd's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Thanks, Tim. Read with great Interest. -
What do the Wheels / Tires, look like? Different wheels in each version? Do they have Decals?
-
I was just given this kit. Looks nice in the box. I think I'll build the Gasser.
-
I saw that box, and assumed it might be the old kit. New Kit makes more sense. They may not even use this box art. We should know in about a year, what is in the box.
-
The smaller shocks are for the 'standard height' 4x4 option, I believe. Built without the big, Raising Blocks at every spring perch, the kit should produce a "factory" 4x4 truck. At least I hope so. My 'Deserter" kit is destined to be a County Fire Brush Truck.

Stu, add the Freight Train to that list, please. Got to see it at a Cacklefest at Famosa about 5 years ago! Awesome!
