I wonder if I can make the Racer's Wedge decals fit this body. Worth a try anyway.

After seeing the box bottom, I'll be getting the decals from eBay, when somebody parts out the kit.

Never Heard that one, Bill. But, it sure sounds like their other motto.

The Rodder's Journal. (TRJ) was doing great, until a move from the Bay Area and Covid hit. The move took longer than planned, and dragged into the first Covid hysteria. Both factors seem to have killed my favorite magazine. Drat! I read the few issues I have.

The official F.A.A. motto! Cal-Osha uses it as well. ?

Boy! Decontent the kit much? Decals look good.

I know Tim's build inspired me! I really liked the colour, and used it in a couple builds, back then.

Boy, Round2 is getting their money's worth out of that Mach One kit. I don't blame them for doing so. I hope it's molded in white this time.

Greg, great save! I agree with you, spares of a few decals would be very nice, Round2 seems to be doing that on more and more kits. It is great when they do that.

"Hey, hey I'm the Monkee!"......

Got my '34 Ford kit ordered. I had vacillated between the Tudor Sedan and the Coupe. I had chosen a coupe, but since I'm doing this, I've chosen to go with the Tudor Sedan instead. More Cargo Room, and the weight differences seem negligible. I partially based this change on reading the story of "Ruby" the Model A, sedan that completed the P2P a few years ago. One Thing I know that I'll do, after reading their story. I'll take a few extra wire wheels, if I chose to keep them. So, Now I start on the engine, and wait.

Jens, what a great build of the Bronco! That has to be the best rendition I have ever seen. You really nailed the "spirit" of the real vehicle.

As to when this will see a Re-Issue? My vote is squarely on "Never". Revell does not appear to to even know what kits they have in their tool bank anymore. So, my first pass answer, remains, "Never Again". If you want one, buy one. Do not wait. This advice applies to almost any Revell kit that is not in their current catalog. If you want a certain Revell kit, buy one now, and don't wait for Revell to re-issue it. Will Revell keep re-issuing older kits? Of course they will. But, Ed Sexton and the other "true Believers" appear to have less 'pull' with the Mothership about what kits get chosen to re-issue. So, I expect that the scattershot, "throw it against the wall, and see if it sticks" release schedule to continue. This makes me sad, but this is what I see. A few well chosen Modified New Release kits, and odd forays into the tooling that is still held by R/M. I hope I am proven wrong.

What an awesome tip! Thanks, For Sharing

Not Sure. But, worth a test fit.

Of course we continue, Pete. An Extra year of build time is not to sneezed at!

No Problem. Hope they help, and hope you can get started on your Henry, soon. After seeing your '34 Track Car, I look forward to seeing your Henry.

Thanks, Pete. I'll have to study some pics of Stutz cars to see how I stow all the gear needed for the Race on an open Two Seat Racer. One Trunk, Two Running boards and a couple fenders. Be a real trick to getting it all to fit!

Here are links to two copies of the instructions. As other have said the engine is supposed to be a Ford 427, but is a poor representation. Wheels were retooled to resemble Centerlines in the 1980's but are not great either. Here is an old set: https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/revell-instructions/straightline-competition/revell_51_henry_j/?view=roll Here is a newer set: https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/revell-instructions/straightline-competition/revell-51-henry-j-d/?view=roll and the new decals are better IMHO, than the last issue. https://www.modelroundup.com/1951-Henry-J-Gasser-p/rmx-4514.htm And the original 5 spoke wheels look like they have been added back!

I hear you Bob, but digital is obviously failing for many magazines, so I do not see Online/Digital/Cloud, ect. ect. working either. I wish I knew what the answer is.

Scrooged Christmas Story. Home Alone. (My Grandson's favorite) The original Grinch movie, w/ Thurl Ravenscroft!

Great Build, Brian. You inspire me, on my long-stalled build.

Looks Good. You can never have enough Jet Cars!

I was in the last one, and never finished the build. I still have a box full of parts I collected. I'll try to get a car completed this time, so count me in. For those keeping track, it is a 1934 Ford. I wonder if a Stutz Bearcat would work? Edited to add: I found the kit, I had started. I still have my P2P Decals and Car Roundels w/ Entry number. I was #5. Found a started '32 Ford Phaeton too. Which to build? Finish the '34 or start the '32? Decisions, Decisions........

Given how badly shipping is snarled right now, my guess is that the webmasters have just stopped showing items until the kits are actually in the warehouse, ready to be shipped. I could easily be wrong about this.
