Great Build!

Good to see what is in it the kit. Hobby Lobby had them, but I missed getting one. Now I can't find any.

Fabulous Work. I've known nothing about the Drug Boats, so it was good to learn about them. Got any pics of the real thing?

Wow! Jaw Dropping Work. Great Scratch Build on the Tug!

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.

Sunds like a great idea, Ty. So what are the rules you have designed for this racer? I'll be waiting=to see how it looks as you get closer to completing it.

Great Work! I need one of these! Beautiful Build.

That is great work, on a marginal (at best) kit. You seldom see any planes built in the surrender paint jobs.

More Coke stuff, eh? Well, nice to have the kits back anyhow. Unless the '53 Ford is the Flip nose Gasser, I won't need any of these kits. They will sell well, I bet. My $$$ are reserved for the big Dodge pick up.

I wonder if any of the Pintera parts have survived? https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/1-sort/amt_pintera_pinto/?view=roll#1 Or at least the Turbo.....

IMHO, the Revell kit is easier to build than the MRC one. MRC has a much fussier tailboom assembly, than the One Piece Revell part. I have both kits.

Looks great! Those old AMT planes look nice when done.

Those Rally GT Tires are just awful. I put them up there with the old Monogram Michelin TRX as the worst tires ever tooled,

Those slicks have been in other Round2 Kits. And the choice of street tires is awful! Notice you don't get any pad printed tires other than the slicks. This kit should have had a set of the tires from the 68 Camaro kit from a couple years ago. This was definitely a "B Team" production. Sad, really, but the tooling is getting old & worn out, and after the Silver Screen, Beverly Hills Cop version Round2 Has gone back to well again. Easy Money for them, and the nostalgia box art will sell lots of them. I'll spring for one, as a parts kit, and be glad for the decals.

Fresh from the camera of Chris Phillips. I might need one of these.

Thanks. Beautiful Colour!

All the wheels in the newest Gas-Man 49 Ford.

Joe, you are correct. What I call "Cotton Candy" websites. Pretty Pictures, but no real substance. Like Oakland, there is no "There, There"

Homerun there, Scott! Two Thumbs up!

Great Co Snobra. I like the paint. What colour is it?

Went to order some stuff, from B.N.L. Resins. Too Late. Website still up, but capped with a notice telling us that if your parts have not shipped, you will be getting a refund. Was BNL a victim of the Chico/Paradise Fires?

Vince, nothing says that you can't put your recent kit purchase in the car, and turn right around and go back through the line with another kit & Coupon. I usually pick a different cashier, but I don't think it is really a problem for HL. I've done it many times.

To add to this, here are the directions for the '69 and '71 Grand Prix kits. Looks to be a great deal of carryover between the two. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/mpc-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/pontiac/1961-1970/mpc-1969-grand-prix/?view=roll#8 https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/mpc-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/pontiac/1971-1980/mpc-1971-pontiac-gr/?view=roll#3 Not sure when the Superfly conversion was made. I'd really like to see what it left of the toolin' on this kit. Looks like there could be a great deal of interesting stuff still there. Note also, that the Deep Set Wheels that I mentioned having chrome issues, are stock Pontiac rims. I did not know that. The big Chrome Side Exhausts have always been part of the kit. It would be great to have the Luggage, Luggage Rack, and Ski Accessories back as well. If anybody has any good photos of the contents and directions for the Superfly Kit, it would be great to see some. There are some pics here, but I can't get them to embed. https://www.lofty.com/products/complete-unbuilt-mpc-the-grand-superfly-1-25-scale-model-kit-0401-1-cxq9m Note that it looks like nothing remains from the Other kits, as far as extra parts go. Even the prominent 'fender humps' from the 1970 kit are missing. Those humps must have been a 1970 only piece.

Those Deep wheels on the Sweathogs kit, are always badly chromed in the kits I have seen in person. Sometimes over half the wheel is bare plastic. MPC's Quality Control back then was very spotty. Nonetheless, I'd be overjoyed to have this kit return, in ANY form.
