Just off the phone with a contact at manufacturing plant. He does not have any orders for the comp coupe from Round 2. I have also sent an inquiry to Round 2 to asking if it will be issued out and when.

If you look at TDR offerings from Shapeways that are probably a more accurate 1/8th. After all, they are CAD designed and printed. Monogram seems to be more 1/9th in comparison. The engine from Lindberg is an odd combination of Y Block and small block Chevy. Parma sold the engines as SBC for their R/C 1/10 cars. The nice thing about their engine is it accepts the resin Ardun heads/valve covers like a glove...therefore producing a cool "model" engine. Still have to take in to account it is a model car. Tires and wheels are odd sized as well....not fitting Monograms tires. As stated prior "building out-of-the box leaves a little to be desired though". I do not care much for the T kits themselves, though, the Tall T gave something new to work from. Bottom line is there are more parts to work with. I use parts for all types of scratch building. The wire wheels in Canary kits are awesome (it's finding cool tires to go with them that is the problem) You get a track nose, too. A-Gg above hit it on the head...."these are both great kit bashing starting points" I once bought 25 Tall T bodies direct from Lindberg...skipped the rest of the kit. Sold a few, gave away a few and cut up a lot. I just want to see the new addition of the Comp Coupe. I have too many parts from too many Lindberg kits in my bone yard. Enjoy

the engine...some scratch, some resin, and some kit parts

"You could say that, since it has been awaited since 1964" There is a modeler that has this competition coupe body ( I assume it was from a 64 prototype run.) He said he received it in the mail. He did an article on his restoration (I don't know who...just saw the article and pics. old-hermit should remember it, too...unless his mind is fading like mine! Hi Al. ) I can only say it will be a pleasure to have something different. Photo: 2 projects using the exterminator

Comp coupe was once going to be issued probably around 2009....If it is issued should be by end of Jan? It has been long awaited.
