A Thought about the Magazine, etc.
stavanzer replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
What I miss most from the Mag are Larry Greenberg's Kit reviews. He is one of the most knowledgeable reviewers out there IMHO, and a great historian of the hobby. I wish Gregg could get those reviews online. I'd gladly pay for those. I know that Larry used to have a website with some reviews, but it is long gone. -
Welcome back. I'd choose a kit, but before buying it, ask the helpful members here for any opinions on how easy it will be to build. We can give you feedback and tips on any kit you chose. Remember that many of the AMT or MPC kits you grew up with are out there in fresh Round2 boxes at HobbyLobby or the LHS. They have nifty pad-printed white walls & great new decals, but it is the same well loved plastic in the box. And Round2 kits now feature a parts layout drawing on the bottom of the box, showing everything you get in the kit. Good Luck! and Happy Modeling! Alan

Amen, Bill! A "Big Thank You" to Gregg is well deserved. This is indeed a great website. -
So who's gonna put those "Mr. Tuff" decals on a sheet? Maybe Slixx will put them on one of their Mini Sheets.
-
Thanks, Joe! This helps those of us who do not live in New York.

I cannot wait to see what is inside this kit. The decals alone will be worth the price.

Toyota FJ Crusier, What's In The Box
stavanzer replied to martinfan5's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I do not see the Snorkle Air Intake Tube that seems to be on a bout half the FJs I see here in California. I wonder if they'll do a later Off Road version with more aggressive tires, and the optional parts? -
He's back. 8 Car kits introduced.

1926 Mack AC Dump Truck

Man, I need a set of those wheels! -
I too, am waiting for one of these kits. I don't care who's decals are in the box, as I am building a privateer car. I've got a Slixx Mini Gasser sheet with "Famoso Mob" markings just waiting for the kit.

The Tamiya kit has a molded on emblem. The Revell boxing shares the Tamiya body, so it is molded the same way. I think, maybe, that the "New" Revell VW Van has a separate emblem, but don't quote me on that.

Any Idea what the '66 Chevy Custom will be? Could it be the long out-of-production, Flip Front Malibu?
-
I wonder how long before somebody offers a resin conversion to have an 'open door' on the service bed? This kit will be a "Must Have" for me.

Anybody got this kit New one AMT 1965 Buick Riviera
stavanzer replied to Mr mopar's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I wonder if the Villa Rivera conversion instructions are included? -
Revell 1968 Chevy Chevelle SS 396...........My take
stavanzer replied to MrObsessive's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
If you wanted to put in a small block 350, would the one in the Revell Nova work? -
The reason I asked Ty, is that the "Fantasy Flyer" name just seems inspired to me. I'd like to build something like it as well. Maybe I'll pick up an "Old Pro" kit when they hit HL, and knock something together myself.

Tom, have you ever had anybody ID one of these survivors as having been theirs? I love the work you do saving them.
