  1. Looking Good! I remember building the "big" MPC kit when it came out in '77/78. I should try again to build the reissue. Your's looks great.
  2. Beautiful Car! I like the detail you have put into lowering it.
  3. My Dad always called them that too. Thanks for the reminder! ( He called Studebakers, "Stupid Bakers". He had a pickup in High School in 1954/55 that was a disaster. Always breaking down, and threw a rod one day on the way to school in November. He and his brother had to walk the last 5 miles to school in the fog)
  4. Wow, Chuck. You never cease to amaze me, with both the creativity and number of builds! Just Awesome!
  5. IMSA Pinto. I thought that was an Oxy-moron. Then I opened the link. What a great Build! I like the look of the whole build.
  6. Awesome Build! You really nailed the look. Did you hand paint the Door Numbers? They look real.
  7. Nice! Very Nice! Weathering looks great!
  8. Outstanding Build! The Colours are guaranteed Attention Getters.
  9. I seem to recall that you are correct, Chuck. IIRC, the reminder had some Zero's attached to help the lesson stick.
  10. To me anyway, the Loop Bumper '71/72 has it all over the '73/74 Cars. The earlier cars are just smoother and sleeker without all the Rococo Detail that are dotted all over the later cars. The '73/74 are just too "busy" designwise to my eye. But, that is just my opinion.
  11. Yes, please clone the '71/72 Road Runner! I want to build it stock and with the Winged Nose!
  12. Have the 'Cuda, (in both Blue and Orange Plastic) and I had the Super Charger (twice). I also have one of the Yellow '87 Issues of the Road Runner. (Purchased by me in '87 simply because, at the time that was the only "Winged Wonder" kit I could find in the LHS) I wanted a Superbird, and before swap meets and eBay, that was the only kit I could find. Glad I kept it. Stef is Right, all three of these kits would be Barn Burners. The Target Market for these is now retiring (or retired) and have the Time, Money, and inclination to buy them. (sometimes in quantity). And, as the hit the shelves, younger generations will like them too. (at least some of them). I've noticed a few younger modelers who are beginning to connect Dodge Challengers, Hellcats, and Chargers, to their historic roots. And, when they do, they go looking for kits of the historic vehicles that gave rise to their modern incarnations. So, I believe that there may exist a market that is larger than it appears at first glance. One of the keys to selling these re-issues is to keep doing exactly what was done on the '68 Coronet. Use the Original Box Art. It worked for many re-issues, and would work here. My suggestion for the Two Kits Stef shows, would be to use the 1980's Art Work. Especially the Supercharger. That Art Work sold that kit (Twice) and will do so again. Thanks, Steve Goldman for asking us what we think. (and for listening to us, too)
  13. Ah, Thank You.
  14. Sounds about right, to me. Resin parts, especially "good" resin parts are very spendy.
  15. Does the Offroad Adventure Set have Handle Bars and Forks for Both Bikes? Mine Did not. I want to know if it was a one time packing error, or a corporate foul up? Thanks.
  16. Some of the Online references, indicate that the shade of green varied from batch to batch. I'd use what ever you have, and be happy with it.
  17. Well, I have the Supra kit. I'll do a Tire Comparo tomorrow.
  18. Izzthere an Air Cleaner?
  19. Thanks. Dunlops it is, then. Anybody else have an opinion?
  20. Yes, I agree with you!
  21. Yeah, but if I hear "What's Cool About This" one more time, I'll give up. It is a verbal Crutch he uses, when He cannot think of something to say. It is comparable to "Like" (in Val-Speak) or "Uh" that all of us fall prey to, from time to time. I do wish though, that he would use a different script when he does his updates
  22. I'll have one of these kits in my hands, this weekend. I cannot wait to see it in person.
  23. Other than problems with the Engine halves not fitting right, it is a great kit.
  24. The Paint came out Great! The weathering is Very Realistic!
