Tony, they DID put quite a bit of effort in the '66 Chevy and the '65 Ford decals. There are some nice new numbers and some different sponsor names on the sheets. Are they what I would have done? Probably not. Are they an improvement over the same generic decals that have been in every version of this kit since the 1970's? Oh, Heck Yes! I'm pleased with them and will be buying kits to show Round2 support for these. If you are really disappointed by the decals, Gofur Racing offers some great decals that would work for these kits. I have some of them too.

Or, New Decals, New Tires, and other extras. And, Noel, while it is not new to us, the "New" label on the box is not meant for us, the "lunatic fringe". We know how old these kits are. The primary market, does not. So, give advice to the novice looking at new kits with you at the store. Try to gently steer them away from the older dogs, and towards a better build experience. I've done it a few times. I'll never know if it helped, but the store made the same money, and a novice model builder did not get a 50 year old kit that might have caused real problems. It is all we can do sometimes.

Try 'em. You'll Like 'em! He sells great stuff.

Man, I wish somebody, would restore the Blazer/Jimmy tooling. I've been chasing that Sheriff Blazer now for a year or so, and keep missing out. I'm about ready to just buy the next Blazer/Jimmy I find and convert my own Po-Leece Car...

I'm building mine as a stock, County Fire Truck, Brush Rig. I've sourced 6-lug stock rims/ tires from Scenes Unlimited, and will just build it without the lift pieces. Other than the Rims and a Hose Reel in the bed, it is pretty much and OTB Build.

The Raising Blocks are Separate. In step 6, parts 14 & 19 are shown x2, In step 7, parts 15 are used four times for the lift.

Man. that's some Nasty Damage. I hope Revell takes care of it, for you.

Sign me up for a Case of Family Trucksters! Yes, please mold it in "Metallic Pea" and a don't mind a Curbside, Snapkit. (apologies to Tim Boyd)

Snake, that sounds like a great Plan. The best use of those kits, and it "Should" give the satisfaction of some quick, simple builds. (note, I did not say "Easy Builds". Unless you forgo all the sanding smooth work. Then they might get closer to "Easy Builds") Have Fun.

Thanks, Joe. I wasn't sure on those Engines.

Is the Lindberg ALF 900 Pumper any relation to the Aurora Kit? I know that they are both 1/32 scale.

Chris Builds this. and Found this at Hemming on the very last T. https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2020/05/17/the-15-millionth-car-that-changed-the-world-how-the-last-ford-model-t-marked-the-passing-of-an-era

I've got 5 Atlantis kits already. But, Nothing they have now appeals to me. I'll buy more from them. (I've got 2 of the AH-56 Helicopters on order)Just not this Quarter. (or the next 2 after that unless something I want is announced.)

Tim can say more, but from what I know space on a tool is at a premium. Therefore, when the tool was first laid out, somebody on the design team had to fight to get those parts into the tool. Those parts, not something else that was also talked about and planned for. So, Revell planned for and wants those pieces there. For now, they are a great bonus. Someday, they'll be needed for a version of the kit, that was planned into it before the first steel was cut. I hope I live long enough to see what that kit is. P.S. For You Hallibrand Rear Axle Fanboys. I get it. NO ROD IS REAL, WITHOUT A QUICK CHANGE!!! As has been stated before, The Design Brief for this kit was a Modern, Daily Driver Type Rod. While I'm sure it was discussed, the QC rear end was nixed at the highest levels, as it did not fit the "Vision" this kit was aimed at. Revell might (or might not) have plans for a QC in the Future. We will not know until we see one in this kit someday. So Scratch Up your QC, and have fun.

The Maserati and Aston, were last seen in Revell/ Germany boxes in the 1990's, so Maybe Atlantis did get them. It would be nice to see them return, as the prices are getting crazy.

Joe, I build Cars, Big Rigs, Showrods, WW2 Fighters in 1/48. WW2 Bombers and Choppers in 1/72, Sci-Fi Spaceships, 1/700 Naval Ships, and 1/35 Armour.

With the Notable Exception of the AH-56 Cheyenne, Atlantis has nothing for me, so far this year. I really hope they come up with some more Automotive stuff. The 1/48 Mobilgas Tanker, is of course, Awesome, but the rest of the line up, a big "Meh!" for me, right now. I want to support them, but the kits they have on offer currently, just do not open my wallet. Maybe better luck, next Quarter............

I can't tell you much, but the large A on the tail is an ETO (European Theatre of Operation) Squadron marking. It should not have the Star&Bar on both wings, so it is obviously Kid Built. The White w/ Blue cowlings is sharp, but not seen on the real thing. It is a Time Capsule, and window into the young man who built it. Good Luck.

You could even get a Light Commercial vehicle out of it. Ambulance, Coroner's Car, Airport Taxi, Fire Chief Car, Sheriff Car, or even a Coke Delivery Wagon. Lot's of ways to go, to get mileage from the tooling. I hope Casey is correct.

Here is the Roadster in Gunmetal Blue.

That's a sharp looking Model T, Terry. It makes a great car to copy. I wonder what "Gunmetal Blue" looks like. I need to research it.

My Vote, Steve? The upcoming Round2/AMT '63 Galazie. The Astro inspired Front End withy those huge double Headlights just begs to be built. And I've never seen one built with those parts. I'll bet that only one out of a thousand '63 Galaxie kits is even started using that Custom Front End.

Thanks! Great Looking Darts!

Pat. I know you've already found a boat, but the Coronado just would not let me sleep. I found the original page from Round2 showing it coming. https://www.collectormodel.com/round2-models/3013-lindberg-model-kits-1959-century-coronado-boat/ And, as ZTony mentions it is an old kit with tons of flash. I want to say somebody on the board in Oz, (Alan Barton??)Built the thing and posted pics. He did a Great Job on it!!

Thanks, John. But, Which stripes are for the Hang Ten?
