  1. Awesome News! This kit is now complete! Thank You!
  2. I've got two older (molded in Red) Monogram '57 Chevies with those wheels, with that problem. Not Sure why that kit does that, but almost every one has those sink marks. I just use other wheels, but not everybody can get spares.
  3. Not Sure, Daniel. But, the AWB Fans are pretty good about staying on top of kit releases, so keep reading here, and there will be news about it. It will be in the "Car Kit News & Reviews" section when the release date is announced. I'll guess Maybe 2nd quarter 2023, but I could easily be wrong.
  4. "What did Environmentalists use before Candles?" "Electric Light Bulbs"
  5. Now, it looks like we may get this Drag Team in the upcoming Future. No One from Round2 has said anything of course (nor do I expect them to), but the AWB Chevelle is coming out, the trailer mold is in use, and the '63 Impala got a fresh re-tool a few years ago. It would be great to have both a Ford and GM/Chevrolet Team, to build.
  6. If any of my models from when I was 14 still existed, I'd never show them in public, they were so awful!
  7. George P., as the author of the original rant on "Why You'll never see the '68 Coronet", I apologize most completely, and humbly. Hopefully, I'll never see that thread again. When I am wrong, I am really wrong. "Good On Ya, Mate!" for keeping up the faith.
  8. Hey, Revell put the spare tire in the Proper Place! Now, I'll have to get this one too. It looks more Like a Traditional 'Landy to me, now.
  9. Nothing 'Sick' or 'Wrong' about it to me, Snake! Genuine Survivor, and I like the stance.
  10. Roden kits can be very, very 'fiddly" to build. Fit is especially sensitive to sprue nubs that stick up, and even the smallest interference from cutting and sanding. Plus, they tend to have lots of small parts in a tiny space. You might see if you can leave out smaller, unseen or hard to see parts, to provide more clearance. Also, see if you can find somebody on Youtube, who has built that kit, and see if they had the same issues. Sadly, sometimes, it is not you, it is the kit. If you have to, fettle the parts down to get a fit. I've built some Roden 1/72 WW1 fighters (the Junkers "J" series) and the fit fought me the whole way. Other builders did not have the problems I had, so I guess I may just be 'Ham-Fisted' in my building techniques. Sorry, I could not be more help.
  11. Steve G., Will the stock tires have Wide Whites? And, Thanks for cleaning up the Chrome trees!
  12. It is old AMT, It may not fit like a Modern Kit. I still want one.
  13. Red Glass, Re-tooled Chrome! Even Better Than I had Hoped! Bring it on.
  14. Buried in all the new product photos, did anybody notice the Wompin' Wagon '55 Box Art in one display? That Box Art is hard to miss. (Original Box Art Shown) Give me this kit! 6 Fresh Tires, New Decals and all the Drag Parts! I've been waiting for Round2 to finally release this kit. It will sell Very Well, I predict.
  15. Nice! What kit did you start with?
  16. Many of those B-52's have been that way for over 35 years. I saw some of them in 1985. The intact airframes provide parts to the current fleet. (In fact, the USAF "re-generates" one of the lower time planes every now and then)
  17. Don for the Win!
  18. Very Nice Bug!
  19. I would not be Surprised if that happens down the road a ways. All these kits are chosen because of the long-term sales potential.
  20. Thank You, Snake! Can you Get one of these next please? AMT Turned it into A Mod Stocker and ruined the kit.
  21. Very Cool! I am familiar with this engine. Great Work! Hope the Surgery goes well.
  22. This Kit is almost here. I wonder what extra parts it has? Or, is everything in the other kits already, just used differently?
  23. This kit keeps getting closer to a release date. I'll have to be getting one, even if it never gets built. I want the trailer, and I may use some of the parts for other builds. I look forward to having this kit.
