I agree with you 100% on that, it's terrible. They need to put a little more thought in what they are doing. The copper BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH they used in the Sidewinder was a disappointment. I passed on it also.

That's the very reason I haven't bought a Round 2 kit in a long while. Half ass kits, with the price we have to pay and the original pieces not included. They think they can make it right by adding printed tires and more decals. I would have liked to have bought a few, but I'll pass now. More money for Revell kits

Put me down for a few of 63 F100, Demon and a couple of the 70 Torino, 427 Cobra

I'll pass on the current version, if they put back to the original version I'll be in for a few

Put me down for some

True

I agree, they should have left well enough alone. I was looking forward to it. I'll pass and save my wheels for the kits that I have

Nice build Jim, he was my favorite funny car driver when I was in my teens. I remember going to Bristol in 77 and he had was killed like two weeks prior.

John, you turn out some fantastic work.

VERY WELL SAID. I also had the Bearcat kit when came out. I also enjoyed the series, and your right that's the only reason I got the kit. The time and money spent to develop new kits when we do get them if something is not right, the bashing begins. I understand that some are anal about things being off, but constructive criticism is the way to go instead of finger point and name calling. Sending a calm email pointing out the error's instead of (should I say hate mail?) doesn't help either side. When a subject comes out that is not favored by all, that is your right not to like it, why say it's a waste of plastic and so on. I, for one am glad that Atlantis purchased the molds, there again it's not everyone's favorite subject's it was almost like it pissed some off, there again some us of happen to like them. It is definitely a different world out there than it used to to be when I started building kits in the late 60's, but nothing stay's the same and no one stay's on top forever. And to those that said I back out of what I post, I say what I mean, and I mean what I say. I don't back up for anyone, and I can back it up. So if you have a problem send me a personal message, this board isn't the place

What killed Detroit was the UAW.

I don't know where you read if we don't buy the kits, they'll go away. I said for one reason or another. Me I don't get upset over a toy being a little off. There way more important things to worry about.

That's exactly my point, nothing is ever good enough for some people. An inaccurate kit is better than nothing. When you get down to it, its a toy. And I doubt very seriously if anyone here could do a better job than they do. I appreciate what we have out there to build, yes some are off but big deal. If they all stop putting out kits for one reason or another, it would give us time to stop and think and wish that we haven't had been whiny little bitches.

I agree 100%. It's a big world out there, and when we go to shows the plane and ship builders hold their own. I would say the powers to be at Atlantis know what they are doing or they wouldn't be doing it. Yes the automotive builders on this board ( I am just one of many ) is supreme but we are talking little fish in a BIG pond. With all the complaints and whining that goes on amazes me. We need new kits the old ones are dated and no good any more. I remember when all we had in a nova kit was the AMT Old Pro and how we need a new tooled nova. Well Revell stepped up to the plate and gave us one. All the crying about the fender opening were wrong and one thing after another. Its a model kit kit for crying out loud, not a life or death situation. You get what you want and still never satisfied, worse than a bunch of women talking about another ones home made dress. I tell you what needs to happen is all the arm chair warriors need to pool their money together and start their own model company and see how long they stay in business.

I'm impressed that the front is separated.
