IIRC, the blower case, and both ends are still in the kit, but nothing else. You are so right about the rims, though!

Neat Build! Not something I would ever try, but you really made a striking Model. I do like it!

Wow! Simply Awesome Build. You nailed the period Colour on the car. It looks real.

Looks Like a Beauty to me! Great Colour!

Migraines! That is my bummer for the day. I'm having Caffeine withdrawal as I cut back on my Mt Dew consumption. I work 12 hr, graveyard shifts, 8pm to 8a, and the Mt Dew keep me going. But, I can't afford to keep drinking so many. I'm gaining weight. So, I've cut back on the Soda, but Caffeine Withdrawal gives me headaches. It will pass in a week or two, as I adapt, but it makes for a lousy weekend. But, I have a job!

So, any guesses on which Mod Stock kit will come out in 2022? My money is on the Buick or the '64 Ford, although the Olds could be out too. I really like what Round2 has done with these kits, and the '65 Ford was a Goldmine of extra parts. Just open up all the sprues on any other kit. The Buick still has a cool Weber Carb option hiding in the kit, and who knows what might still be in the others.

Ah, Chris DID do a Review of this kit. Good to See.

This Chevette. Is it close to the Bear Bait Kit? I'm guessing it is a progenitor of it. It would be a great re-issue with the Tent and other Extras.

Re: the '37 Chevy. *Pre-Orders bill in advance and orders with pre-ordered items will be held until all items can ship. Expected arrival dates are estimates and subject to change. If you are in a hurry for currently available items, please order future items separately. The AMT 1937 Chevy Coupe from more modern era tooling is a modeler's favorite. We have confirmed with AMT that all the original parts are in the kit, so we actually have a (4 'n1). Here's the deal, the instructions on this one only provide building steps for the Bonneville Racer version. But, a note in the box references the AMT-Round2 websIte and provides a link to download instructions for building the other versions.

Keyser, it is a Female Tusker. "Masta-Donna"

Does this match the decals in the kit?

How about the Chevette? https://adamrehorn.wordpress.com/model-kits/out-of-box-reviews/mpc-125-1979-chevette-bear-bait/ I'd be in for this one! (I think the Citation was a Monogram only kit, but I could be wrong)

I love that after reading James Duff's "Trifecta" Comments and Snake's "Three ways to handle the problem" Comments, people just keep circling back to the same tired whine about Top Chops and Accuracy. Let's put this a baldly as possible. The Kit is now, the way it will be forever. As Snake said you have Three and only Three options. Posted 9 hours ago True dat. As with every other kit with flaws ever made (which is most of them), you have three choices: 1. Build it and live with it. 2. Fix it yourself (or buy a "corrected" aftermarket part). 3. Throw it back in the box (or just leave it on the store shelf) and go build something else. Further Commentary on these Forums will not change any of the facts about this tooling. I find it fascinating how many folks will continue to want their grievance rather than just accepting the situation. Guys, Nothing you post now, or tomorrow, or next week, or next year will change this kit, or the perceived issue. I'll yell for a bit now. NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE! It is Done. It is Over! Build it! Don't Build it! Very, Very politely agitate for a better result on the next kit. But, as the say on "Forged in Fire", "Put your tools Down. This Round is over" Look. I Get it. I really Do. We as a collective are very passionate about this hobby, and many of you guys are Master Craftsman who are almost physically hurt by shape and proportion errors. But, this is at it's heart a Time & Money Business. And as a Business, at a certain point, you have to sell finished product to earn revenue. No Revenue, No Business. WE can all carp about the quality of the finished product. But the only (ONLY) input we have is our wallets. Buy It, and support the business. Don't Buy It. Punish the Business for not giving you what you want. Esoteric discussions about what "Should Be Possible" are non-productive for the future, and ultimately probably do not help the collective Cause of "More Accurate Body Shapes & Dimensions". Alan

Amen, John. Poor Choice of optional tires in a kit that never needed that particular tire in it. And, I'll second the motion to hate on those dreadful Rallye GT Tires. Almost as bad as the BFG's.

Yeah, I think they may have been in something else, but I'm not sure what. But, they are a Horrible Tire option for this kit IMHO. Too Small and they are awful tires. I've thrown away several dozen of those tires in the last 20 years.

After looking at Part 3 of Tim's build, I'll call out one part that Moebius Goofed Badly, and one that is Awesome. The Blower Scoop is just Lousy. Fit is awful, at the front, (notice the gaps) and the bland ridges are just tired looking. (same for the Valve Covers) Un-inspired and boring, these are real let downs, IMHO. The Headers on the other hand! Wow! I wish Moebius had put all 6 parts on one tree. Then they could sell just the Headers in 12 packs to Gasser Builders who wanted them. P.S., The wheels look good, the tires, less so.

Here it is almost October. Are there any updates on this kit?

James Duff. You have stated my opinions better than I could have. I thank you for your clear writing. The "99% Trifecta" is a good reminder that those of us who comment on these online forums constitute about .1% of the model buying public. We should be grateful that our comments are even given a fair hearing by the PTB at the Model Companies, given the vitriol that sometimes accompanies the accusations of laziness and incompetence that are thrown about willy-nilly. The last few years on the board have been eye-opening to me. Should I ever win the lotto, and start my own company to produce kits, I can guarantee that All Phases of a new kits life cycle will be public simultaneously. In other words, the First Look, Kit Sales and On Line Sneak Peak, Behind the Scenes tidbits, will all happen in one hour on the same day. And all public comments about the accuracy (or not) of a particular kit will be met with a firm "Thank You for your input" reply. And Nothing else! I get the whole "With Modern Technology, Yada Yada Yada, vis-a-vis Accuracy" argument. But reading comments on this forum especially, makes me think that some folks will simply NEVER be satisfied with a given kits shapes, dimensions, or details. Since relative strangers to you are gambling with money you have not invested with them, in order to sell you a leisure product, a little consideration of their efforts might be appreciated. And, I'll happily include myself as a Hypocrite in this rant. I've taken Round2's so called "B Team:" to task on multiple occasions, for what I believe to be poorly executed or just plain lazy, re-issues of older kits. But, as James notes, Round2 is a business. Sometimes, "Get it out the door & on the shelf", is the only option for some kits. I moan about it, but at the end of the day, If I want to do better, I need to buy the company...... I really enjoy the expertise that is shared in these Forums. But, sometimes, the Horse is just Dead. Give it a break guys. As others have noted, by the time you see photos of the test shot, only small details are going to be changed. There is NO BUDGET for anything major, by that point. So, if you don't like it then, you aren't gonna like it now. And absolutely nothing you say will change it...... Alan

That Green "Double Trouble" is one of the best builds I have seen of that kit. You Really Nailed the Look, Scott!

Now THAT is a great idea for a Unique Build! OHC 6. That will stand out on the contest table.

Yeah, I really miss not getting this kit. I had a co-worker who owned a "Seely-Ca". I'd like to build a copy of his for him.

On this topic, how about the MPC 1983 Toyota Supra Kit. Beautiful kit, nicely engraved, at least two different boxings that could be combined for a 2'n'1 kit, and it would hit the Sweet Spot that is developing for 1980's cars. It would make a great re-release and all it should need is cleaning and new tires/Decals.

Is it me, or does the Dragster on the decals for the "Progressive Race Team" in the new '63 Wagon and Trailer kit, look almost exactly like this built up? Or just a Happy Coincidence?

I an waiting for the Dual Rear Wheels, and the Stake Bed. Sunoco Decals are nice, but won't move the needle. Very Nice Artwork, however! I wonder if they'll throw in any other "Goodies" to sweeten the deal? This kit is common enough that it will take something special to push it into the "Must Buy" column.

Thanks, for the Candid Answer Tim. I'll leave it lay for now.
