Interesting. So when did the practice of Annual kits stop? Definitely couldn't imagine any kit manufacturer going through the cost and expense of even one annual kit these days. On a somewhat related note, what about the dealer promo kits? I know that GM were doing them until the mid-90s, as I have a number of them. Is that around when the promo kit died?

? This entire thread should just be shut down. Every single post in it could be considered political. Also, while we're at it, let's delete every post where somewhere sends thoughts and prayers or says "God bless ", because that is religious and could offend the non-religious people.

In the world of high end exotic tuning, there are a couple of companies doing some questionable things. Gemballa have some awesome vehicles, with amazing performance and build quality. But some look like this. The Tornado. Took a Cayenne, made it really ugly. The Avalanche. Been around since the 80s, and when I worked for the local Porsche dealer, I got to drive one that was a strange red to maroon fade colour. And check that interior. And if anyone has the Revell model kit of the Avalanche, I am willing to trade a great many things for it!

It's country rap. So it takes the two musical genres I dislike the most and melds them together. I think the part of the whole song that makes me laugh is that when it became a hit last summer, you had all these tough beer drinking, truck driving, tobacco chewing redneck men singing along and professing their love for this amazing new country/rap mash-up...and then it comes out that Lil Nas, the guy who wrote the song and sings it, is a very flamboyant gay man. That appeared to be a tough pill to swallow for the good ol boys!

Some very cool stuff here. That Alfa wagon is just awesome.

Not political, just making fun of the stereotypical science denying protestors and their often...colourful...outfits. Whatever, deleted it. If you want to hear some nonsense, go to youtube and look up Old Town Road. It was huge last year. A typical rap song, but featuring some twangy guitar and Billy Ray Cyrus. It's pretty awful. Those who made it huge should be punished. Having said that, I feel that way about just about every song I see on a Top 10 list, as they're always rap or pop, and I hate that stuff.

Something I've seen referenced here quite a bit is an "annual" kit. I've seen them mentioned but have never heard what they are. What is an annual and what doe it signify? Is it any different than a standard kit from the same year?

I'm using an old AMT 40ft trailer for my version. Close enough for my eyes.

The local stores here have been open all along, but for curbside pickup only. No entering the store, no browsing.

Need details on that wagon kit!

Excellent work! And that interior colour is perfect for this one.

Have always liked this car, and this kit is on the list. Watching for sure!

Definitely the right colour for this.

A cemetery is a terrible location for a convincing horror movie. It has too many plot holes. Did you hear about the giant that threw up? It's all over town.

Hope you all had a fun Walpurgisnacht last night. And that you got together with your other witches and revelled with the devil in a most excellent way. I worked on some models and listened to Alice Cooper. Also, we're now halfway to Halloween, which means it is entirely acceptable to watch horror movies all day today. If you love horror and Halloween, and don't have a Shudder subscription yet, you should. It's well worth the $5/mo.

Very nice couple you have there! I too like that you didn't paint it red.

JK production and JL production overlapped for a year. In 2018, you could order both the new and the old body style. That could be why there's some funny info. Kind of like how for the 2019 and 2020 model years you can buy both the new and old body Ram 1500.

Will be watching. I've had a soft spot for these since owning a 95 Z28 convertible. And I love red cars!

Looking awesome so far!
