Has HPI Guy (aka Chris) seen this yet?

Casey, you don't have the instructions for that 'Countdown Series" Merc do you? I've never seen that version of the kit. Only one I have seen is the 2004-ish boxing.

That kit has a (lousy) engine doesn't it?

1/25 AMT '65 Chevy El Camino "Gear Hustler"
stavanzer replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Answered my own question. "1/25 T386-225 AMT Gear Hustler 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle El Camino Construction Field Service Rare first and only issue. AMT modified the El Camino for Construction Service, adding wide rim wheels, Gates Commando XT heavy duty tires for go-anywhere grip, a detachable shell top, choice of three different construction company decals, six pack and two hard hats. Features Chevy V-8, detailed engine compartment and opening hood, full interior, detailed chassis and more. Molded in bright yellow,, clear, red-tinted clear, chrome plate and with rubber tires." So I expect to see the decals, hard hats, and maybe the Six Pack. If we are really lucky, maybe the heavy duty tires/rims also. This is for the '64, not the '65, but I expect the '65 will be done mostly the same way. -

I wonder if there were ever any 'construction' parts in this kit, or if it was just decals? Be nice to have this one back, though. Mine will be a Gasser, if the parts are still in the kit for that option. -

That's NICE! Great Build. -
is there a bigger version of this photo? I can barely make out the Autocar, and can't really tell what else is there.

Could we please get at least the grille, wheels and push bar from the Scout SSII in this kit? Better, can we have the whole SSII kikt back. That would open my wallet fast! [edit] P.S. Any body know if the grille is different in the two kits? Box art makes it look different, but I've never seen the SS in plastic, so I don't know. In fact is there a scan of the Scour SSII instructions? I've never seen those either.

1/25 AMT 1966 Ford Fairlane GT/GTA Hardtop
stavanzer replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
This is a great 1990's tooled kit, but completely free of options other that the Manual/Auto trans. Even Round2's own features list is thin. I wish that Round2 had combined this and the 427 version in one box. As it is, this is a case where Pad Printed tires and an updated (but still tiny) decal sheet are not enough to get me to pull the trigger. I hope it sells well, but I'll be waiting for next quarters announcements. -
Man, I want one of those Plymouth Savoys. I'm sure the only resin kit of that body style came from the now defunct Modelhaus....... Maybe I'll see one at a swap meet someday.

1. Sow's Ear to Silk Purse! 2. Gil Costa, as soon as you complete your build, Revell will announce a new tool kit. The world waits for you.

A great Build! Unusual subject matter, well executed.

I saw an article about these racers in a 1-1 car magazine and wondered when I see one modeled. Your's is superb! I like the vibe. Looks like it is ready for a cover photo.
-
Where'd you get the shrink ray? Awesome, looks like what you'd see at a car show in Los Angeles.

Wow! A winner for sure! Alan Alexis

Can't sleep either, 'eh, Delton? I agree with what you say.
-
It would be really nice to have the scoop back. I need a couple of these. I've got plenty of the coupes and SD's but only one sedan. Looking forward to this. Any Idea when it is supposed to hit the shelves?

Peterbilt 353 Off-Road Dumper
stavanzer replied to Ack! Ack-ack!'s topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Just a Great Build! Leaves me speechless. -
That's a real disappointment. Not sure who greenlit this product, or who thought it would sell. Would have been nice if they had asked some of us if we'd buy it, before they produced it. Saves me some money though to spend on something else. What hurts me most is that if this set is a flop, it will be used as ammunition in the never-ending "but Parts Packs don't sell" Wars.
-
Oh, I'll wind up with at least a pair of them. One to build Bone Stock and the other to play with.

Are we ever going to get the Revell 30 model A back?

Dave B, I thought I was the only that watched that show any more. Thank Goodness for HULU!
