  1. If you look at the White Parts trees, both the Carburetted and F.I. Manifolds are in the kit. The Tiny Air Cleaner for the Carb is still on the Chrome tree, too. Watch the Front Axle in this kit. It has always been weak, and prone to breaking. I'm not real fond of the Deeply Tinted Glass in this kit. It is a Call-Back to the awful 1980's MPC kits. Not Sure who at Revell though this was a Good Idea, but they could have at least done both a clear and tinted glass tree. Frankly, the whole kit smacks of Penny-Pinching and doing things on the Cheap. The Wheels had to be re-tooled to fit the Ex-Monogram Goodyear Sports Car Special Tires, since the old wheels would not have fit. The Decal Sheet is very nice, but Two (2) set of Lic Plates is not a lot, despite what the reviewer says. But, it is a decent kit, and makes a nice Street Machine Build, if nothing else.
  2. Anu body have a photo of that build?
  3. Looks like there will be no Chrome. Not Deal Breaker for me, but could be an obstacle for some. I think that the folks who know about and purchase ICM kits will not be Fazed. They can do Chrome themselves, so it won't bother them.
  4. Great Photo's Robert. Shows exactly how different the cars are.
  5. And there you have it. That was the reason for the kit. It wasn't for us. It was for fans of the show. If some Model Builders were also fans, well "Great"! If not, no harm done. And, I agree. It will return someday. But, no telling what Round2 will do to market the kit.
  6. Beautiful Rods, Blue!
  7. Polish Sausage (on the George Foreman Grill), Oven Baked French Fries, Grilled Onions, and Moose Tracks Chocolate Ice Cream. Excellent Dinner!
  8. I'm not sure.... I think the options (UN-Officially) are to paint the window glass, or carefully fill the window opening with sheet plastic.
  9. Tony, I'm so sorry to hear about the dog. I hope he is okay.
  10. What a Clever use for the Predicta. It makes an amazing Bat-mobile. Good Show.
  11. Just an excellent piece of work. What a fantastic model! Words fail me...... Good Show.
  12. My thoughts exactly, Mike. Steve's Photo and building skills were excellent then. No reason for the putting himself down.
  13. Is the Blade permanently attached to the handle?
  14. But the Police and Taxis did not use the body style of car for those jobs. That is the problem with this kit, in the long run. You can build it that way, but in real life there were few of them used like that. See the discussion in the 22 pages that were devoted to this kit, in the Link Mr. Metallic was kind enough to find, and share.
  15. You did the build that I had planned when I first saw the Surf Shark. You did it much better and faster than I did. Great Job!
  16. What a great build! Your craftsmanship shows in every photo! Good Show.
  17. That is one answer. Not the one I had in mind, but an answer......
  18. And notice that nobody even pretends to try to stop him. I wonder why?
  19. Another Great Olds Build. Very Sharp, sanitary build. You and Tony "Bogger44" have built a great pair of cars. Good Show.
  20. Great Build! The stance looks "Spot-On" to me. An understated but, potent little race car. Good Show.
