Well, I'll take it any way they send it. This kit as a Custom is still better than the Revell Snap-a-roo kit. BTW, thanks for sharing your knowledge of this kit's history. As you can see up in that thread, I tried to show as much of the history as I could with the direction sheets, but direct info about the contents is always better. Steve G. is always helpful with sharing the details he can share about these kits.

I've heard that he was working on a Steam Car, and had Gas Vapor/Burner troubles, resulting to burns on the left side of his face. Hi Eye and Ear are supposedly safe so, he will have plenty of healing to do, but hopefully, no permanent damage. He is 72 BTW, so healing may take longer. Edit:: Per TMZ, Clogged Fuel line on 1907 White Steam Car was the issue.

Here is a thread with useful Info about the Upcoming Round2 (ex MPC) 81 Camaro.

Tim, Great Job on your Plymouth! The Green Hornet Looks Great too. Nice to see some cars getting done. Mine is stalled, for now.

Amen. Both of your comments about this kit, express my thoughts better than I can.

This guy parts out a lot of kits. Here is the MPC Cougar Chassis. Search his listings, he may have other MPC Chassis. https://www.ebay.com/itm/165693458751?hash=item269419893f:g:ZloAAOSwq~VibMA0

brilliant build!

So, It surfaced at the Big Show this weekend. Well at least the signage did. Boy, I hope this isn't another damp squib, from Okey.

Can there be a 2wd version far off? I'll be getting one of these anyways.

1975 Ford F-250 Grille, please?

"Street Freaks" is what they were called back then. AMT Put a second seat and exhaust pipes in many of the their Gassers, and called them Street Freaks to get more use out of the Molds. Tim Boyd has done a lot of writing about them in the Scale Car Magazines over the years.

For the Front Wheels, yes, it has the thin spoke mags. Watch the video. Chris shows both sets of rims........

Good Idea on the Wheels, Anthony. Go For It!

Que the Moaning about the '65 GTO's Grille/Headlight Treatment in 3.2.1....? Thanks to Tim's excellent Photos, we can see said Grille quite clearly. Edited to add: Thanks for the Great Photos, Tim! I really like the looks of the Bronco, too! It is going to be a Winner!

One Video early mentioned that the "Airboss" (who has control of all the Airplanes in the air during the show) had called the P-63 to "move up past the B-17". or "Overtake the B-17". If that indeed turns out to be the case, that will explain much of what happened. Bill is right. Watch Juan Browne" aka "Blancoliro" that he linked up above. He is one of the very best Aviation guys on YouTube. He knows his stuff and tells the truth. Dan Gryder is okay, but Blancoliro is just better. This and the '909' incident are going to put a stop to Warbird Airshows eventually. 6 dead men, and 2 unique planes gone, and families traumatized. The upside to watching these shows is getting smaller and smaller. It is time to stop. I say this a a Dedicated Airshow Chaser. from 1981 to 1995 I went to many Airshows, and I love the Warbirds. But, sadly, it is time to ground these planes and preserve what is left.

Stef has this Right. I hope the MPC Bronco can join the line up someday, too.

In Fact, this kit was done exactly the way I had hoped Revell would do the '66 Malibu Flip-nose kit. Rubs me the wrong way, I tell ya! ? On the other hand, this kit is Superb, and the parts are all 1/24, so they will drop into the '66 Malibu with ease. So, Kudos to Revell for getting this one exactly right! And Dave has this part Right to! Go get you Aftermarket Decals and some transparent Red Paint, and you have a fresh "Badman" kit.

Awesome '57!

I like it! I've never seen one before!

Good to hear from you, Tim. Awesome Build!

I think Revell made a very Poor Judgement Call in not being open about what this Kit is. It is not a bad kit. But "Skill Level 4"?? That is Gaslighting of the first order. I'm not sure who set the pricing, but that is wrong also. Revell seems to be on a roll lately with Poor Decisions. It's almost like the folks running (Ruining) the Company know nothing about models. If this keeps up, all the Olds-442's in the world are not going to overcome the bad first impressions.

Sweet Little Racer! Great Build!
