The Chassis for both Wilhelm's Wonder and the Tognotti T both still exist. Just under different bodies.......Hmmm. Like a Certain Poster suggested, ie "Recycling chassis from similar show cars into a different car." This was done some Forty or more years ago by MPC. The newly announced Bed Buggy? That is the Barris T Buggy Chassis under a different body. Round2 Has brought out a steady stream of old Show Cars, for the last 7 years or so. One or two a year, and every one welcome.Have you really 'looked' at the "New" Ice Cream Truck? Pad Printed Tires, Blue Tinted Clear parts, New Decal sheet? I don't see how they could have improved the Kit any other ways. How many have you bought? You want to ask for something? How about getting Revell to give us the old Monogram Show Cars the "Predicta", "Orange Crate", or "Sand Crab"? And Revell has been plowing through their Tom Daniel's tooling at a decent clip. Have you bought the updated "Jinx Express"? As far as custom body parts and additional building options, I think Round2 has been all over that too. They have invested actual money, in cutting tooling to replace missing custom parts ('49 Merc) and missing wheels to older kits. ('69 Barracuda) In face the 'Cuda wheel are in the new"Soap Box Derby2" '68 Elky kit. Maximizing tool use. Now, would I like to have the Wilhelm's Wonder and Tognotti T bodies back? Of course. You want to organize a 'write in campaign' foucused on just those two cars (or any other single car) then have at it. Learn who to write to and what to say. And ask nicely. There are many posters to this board who work, have worked for, or are connected in a professional way with the management of the companies you call out. Request their help. Politely. Maybe then you will get what you have asked for. The only guaranteed way to get what you want? Win the Powerball or Super Lotto and then put your money where your mouth is. Cheers, Alan Alexis

Five Kits, Bill. That is more than I'd be willing to invest in an accurate OLDs motor. But, I'm glad you know what parts to use. Rock On.

The March Meets start tomorrow and run until Sunday. I'll be there at least Friday & Saturday. The most Fun I have all year. Hope to see you there. I'll have the NNL East T Shirt on tomorrow.

I've got two of the Flip Nose Gasser kits and two the one-piece '60 kits from the RC/ERTL era. I'm going to try to get the Gasser kit together.

Awesome Scratch Building!

I like this. Very Sharp Building.

I'd never heard of those cars before. Great Job!

Great Job, on a So-So kit. Looks like the real thing.

Thanks. That Helps.

The Small Block in the Rat Roaster might work too. I don't have the RR kit anymore, or I'd check it out for you.

Round2 needs a new Spokesman. This guy is friendly but clueless. Bring in an older guy who knows the history of the kits better. Please?

Anybody seen any word on the RX-7 kit?

I wonder how far AMT got on the Ahrens-Fox Pumper? Drawings only, or did anything make it into actual Wooden Model Form? Would have been a nice, if parts intensive kit.

Ohhhh. I want one of these. Gonna be spendy, but this is a Grail Kit for me, so I'll pony up for it. Yea! Ebbro.

Wow! Me and the Grandson Like this!

Bob. What the ???????

Nice Work. One of best 'Generals" I have seen.

Inspired choice of wheels. The Two Tone paint looks sharp as well.

Great Work, Great Pics. Looks like nothing I've seen here in the US. It has a piquant foreign flavor, that makes it stand out from the crowd.

Nice! Waiting for more pics.

Great Work. Always nice to see work this sharp.

Here are the directions for the Sandman Buggy and trailer. http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/instruction_sheetsh/instruction_sheets/revell-2/revell-mr-sandman-w/?view=roll#7

Lookin' good so far! Keep at it.

The Decals should be pretty nice too, based on Round2's track record with these older kits. I'll be getting one of these kits.

Mine is in the garage, next to the '29 roadster kit.
