Here's one i did for a club theme build, Pontiacs. Not much of a Poncho fan but i dug this up and after reading something in a car mag about all those faux gassers, you know,
Too high, Tinted windows, tinted headlights, whitewalls, etc.
Funny. the slab sided, 289 roadster had more wins and records than the later 427. And I'm just wondering what's so wrong with that ol AMT kit? looks good to me. along with Ray's build
Join a Club.
Our Moonlight Modelers In Phoenix Arizona has been going strong for more than 35 years.
We have a monthly theme contest with a very nice plaque.
Good friends, good food, good times.
and there ya go. Not stirring anything up just posting my observations.
It looks to me, other than foreign vehicles made by foreign companys , we will be seeing more of the same, just like RC2. Nothing wrong with that since they all have plenty of old molds that haven't seen the light of day for quite a few years.
Then there's Atlantis, talk about some long lost friends.
I think one has to look at these older kit reissues from Atlantis and Lindberg more as Nostalgia releases and not new kits. They are what they are, old kits. So many look at them with an eye to their past. A connection to their beginnings in the hobby.
These kits do have potential and as seasoned builders one should have no problems making the proverbial purse out of the sows ear.
With the demise of Revell USA, is there any hope of seeing any NEW kits being developed? With their very popular '30 Model A Coupe being a doubtful return much less any further look at other Model A bodies, it really seems like we're done for awhile.
This is basically one pathetic kit, reissued beyond any reasonable length. The body edges are sharp enough to cut you as any errant #11 blade. The chassis a throw back to screw on pans of the "Promo" era.
Why have we been forced to endure such mediocracy for so long?
It would have been quite easy for Monogram to continue their early 1/24th scale Mustang series with a Coupe/ Notchback model.
