  1. Sharp Build. Daddy-Daughter Victory! Good Show!
  2. Man! What an Awesome bit of 1970's IMSA Overkill. I'd buy a bunch of those!
  3. Very Sharp Builds. I really the green colour you chose. A Matching Pair! Good Show!
  4. I'd fill both windows in the Doors with sheet plastic and then scare up some of the clear Van Windows in the Dome or Teardrop shapes, and inset them into the doors.
  5. IMHO, this is a needless Own Goal for Round2. They've never done this in kits before. Only Moebuis does it, and It is not a popular feature for them. Combined with too stiff tires, and you have more time spent getting acceptable wheels than you really need to invest. I hope this is not the start of a trend. It is not a show stopper for sure, but why needlessly complicate a pretty simple process.
  6. Not really outlawed, as much as the number of buyers, who wanted one after seeing one in action was always self-limiting. There are always a few, but stunts like the Rocket Axle were niche, of a niche market.
  7. Not Gonna happen, Bob. Too much many to be saved for the CEO and Stockholders.
  8. Trust Juan Browns to have the scoop. I check his channel several times a week. He is one of the best commentators on Flying out there.
  9. Indeed! That is exactly what it looks like. Ugh!
  10. Yep. You are meant to use which ever wheels you don't use on the car. I think it an odd choice. I presume that tooling costs, or parts count limitations dictated that choice. I hope that future issues of the trailer get dedicated wheels.
  11. Three winners, here. I'm all over that Boss Nova Wagon. & that '57 Chrysler Custom. The Decals and tires will determine if I want another 39/40 Ford kit. The last one was great, but I'm not sure that this issue will be one I want. The Boss Nova, though has been getting stupid money on the secondary market and I sold mine off. I'lll be happy to give Round2 the sale instead of some on-line vendor. I hope they manage to get some "Wompin' Wagon" decals in there along with the Boss Nova decal.
  12. Indeed, they are. I'm sure that many new modelers have never seen these kits, and would be thrilled to get them. I know that I'm in for a few just to get fresh tires and fresh decals.
  13. I'm sorry, Tim. You were indeed first.
  14. And, Chris has the Build on This one, Too!
  15. Great News, Erik! I can see that cab & chassis under many other beds.
  16. That '64 Malibu is going to fly off the shelves! Hope it comes with some extra rims.
  17. Great News, Steve. What about the '32 Coupe/Roadster. Most recent copy of the Roadster I have is the Millennium Edition with the extra parts added back in. But that's been 24 Years (gulp). I still think of it as a New Kit.......
  18. Bringing this back to Kits.... Steve, any idea when we might see any more of the AMT '32 Ford kits? The Vicky was great, but it would be nice to see the Coupe or Phaeton back again. Since the Phaeton shares most of the Vicky's parts, I'd hope it would be an easy release. And if we are talking 'cloning kits' how about the legendary '32 Sedan from the '32 Ford Sedan/ 41 Willys double kit. That is one '32 that has a "Huge" built in sales appeal! Or a Coupe/Roadster 2'n'1 Kit or Even Double Kit. Those kits would not be that hard to to squeeze into one box together as a true double kit. Cheers, Alan
  19. I have no interest in either kit at this time. But, I can see the R.O.I. for them, and I suspect that they would be greatly wanted subjects. Given the full "Kat Treatment" With Stock , Custom & Service/Push Car options, I think they could be real hits. Bring 'em on!
  20. Hear, Hear! A great idea. I hope somebody steps up to get it done.
  21. Let me Chime in on Ron Coon. I ordered 12 Tires and 12 Wheels from Ron. Excellent & Helpful email communications, and lightning fast shipping. The Tires are fantastic and the wheels could not be better. I ordered 8 of the T-17 Tires, and could not be happier with them. I also got the W5-9 Rim and Tire set for a trailer or rat rod. Excellent also. Buy with Confidence! Alan
  22. Thanks for your quik response. I'll be ordering some more resin wheels next month. I'll put Iceman's on the short list.
  23. A Smith Jiggler! What a great Choice, and a rare engine. I don't see your source of wheels/tires listed. Would you mind sharing where you got them? Cheers, Alan Alexis
