  1. It will be nice to get another one. I have one and have been stymied by the "Too Many Choices" question. With another, it will be easier to choose (and then build) one. Thanks Round2!
  2. It's a brand new tool. (about 2014) As far as I know only been run once. You're right about the detail. I replaced the back cover on the blower. I'll leave the driver out of mine.
  3. Now if Round2 would have just given us the Streetle Beatle Hood, the chrome looks like it is still on the Chrome tree. It could have been a 2'n'1 kit. Drat. I'll have to get one of each.
  4. Changed my comment to add the word "NOT" to the first sentence. Sorry for the error.
  5. My Hobby Lobby was blowing out those DD Sleepers last year. I'll bet they had 8 of them for sale, and even at clearance prices, took a month or more to get rid of them. I'll hope they sell well, but I'm not a CabOver Builder so I won't need even the 75th anniversary kit.
  6. I've heard rumors that the Bezels needed for the Boomerang Taillights did {NOT} make it into the new kit. Guess we won't know until somebody opens one. Looking at the Sprues as seen here, looks like not much was added to the chrome tree. I do see 8 new chrome pieces. 4 hubcaps and two sidepipes. The word from Round2 "41 parts restored or re-tooled" looks mighty thin to me, although the Hubcaps, sidepipes and 4 buckets are 12 parts by themselves.
  7. Truly Sad News. Like others, I knew him only from the board. He was straight forward and never flagged in his enthusiasm for the Hobby. R.I.P. Harry.
  8. I've seen the PYRO '52 Chevy in a diorama with a 1/32 Scale F-86 Sabre Jet. Painted in Strata Blue with USAF Staff Car markings. It looked great.
  9. Looks Great to me!
  10. I'll second the '40 Ford Sedan Injectors, comment. That is the first kit I thought of when I saw them. Great Build,as others have said. The colour works well on the '57 Body.
  11. Re: The seats. I've since found that the Serpent Heads are two pieces that glue to the seats. So it will be as simple as leaving them off. Now, I really want one. Is it me or does the nose piece on the Gee-T favour the AMT XR-6 Show Rod?
  12. Good Morning. I'm looking for some truck tires like these in the Photo, on the rear of Parnelli's car. http://i.wheelsage.org/pictures/mercury/marauder/autowp.ru_mercury_marauder_pikes_peak_1.jpg Do you offer anything that might fit? I;m looking for the sidewall cuts and something narrow. Thanks. Alan
  13. Add me to the '69 Galaxie list. I have the Sox and Martin kit, but I'm hunting me a '69 Galaxie.
  14. Doug Spencer, you nailed that. Whoever green lighted that needs to go back to the mailroom. With all the great work Round2 is doing on the Artwork front, Revell needs to step it up. Boxart like the '29 or '30 Fords would have been better IMHO.
  15. The 2008 re-issue of this kit with that artwork on the cover, is cheap usually, but my preference is to hold out for the new kit. Get great decals, and some awesome tires.
  16. You know at least the larger of the two chrome pieces is still on the Chrome sprue.
  17. This is great! I like the way this one is going too. I prefer the full top to the Carson, but that is just my tastes.
  18. Like it! Keep it curbside to build quicker. Just one Niggle. Those Huge "Steamroller" wheels just don't look quite right, IMHO. They give the car a 'dated' 1990's vibe. Maybe some a little taller and a bit narrower might do the trick? Will you be using a DuVall windscreen on it. This is just the place for one.
  19. Nice! That Colour really Pops. Can't wait to see where this goes.
  20. That is an outstanding build! Got the whole "Beach" vibe down pat, with this one. You have nothing to be modest about on this build.
  21. ICM is an Eastern European Military Model Company. 1/35 & 1/72 Scale models are their bread & butter. The 1/24 scale auto models are a very niche product for them. I too, have read the rumors about a possible 1/24 version of the Packard. My guess is that sales of the current 1/24 scale kits, have favoured the Model T Fords, and not the others, which is why we are getting another Model T, (the Chemical Firefighting Runabout) rather than a new tool. But this is all mostly speculation on my part. Having bought and built some ICM kits, they have gotten vastly better over the years. I suspect that if the 1/24 kits sell well in Europe and Asia, we will see more of them as time goes on.
  22. I'd like to echo the others. A huge amount of info, on a car I can only recognize. Betcha it would make a Great Gasser! If I come across one cheap, I'll pick it up now and build it, just for fun. Thanks All.
  23. Checking online shows that the Tognotti T chassis is under the "Outcast" Showrod, and under 2015's "Chuck Miller" Fire Truck reissue. The same chassis with the T Fenders was under the MPC "Night Crawler" Showrod. So 40% to 50% of both Classic kits still exist. And both available in the last 24 months. So get your glue bombs on eBay and you can put fresh chassis's under original bodies. And Maybe we can get Round2 to restore those kits someday.
  24. These were on the clearance rack at Hobby Lobby last Friday. Maybe you can score one.
