according to Towers website it says late March. we should hopefully be seeing the 09 Challenger and the "Black Widow" 57 150 any day now. there both listed as late Feb. AMT's snap 08 Challenger are also due to be out.

lets not forget the auto manufactures want more $$$$ from licensing. also more technology is going into producing these kits and they are better then ever. I paid $19 for the Revell 68 Mustang, and honestly, I don't think there all that expensive at all. I was in Micheals on Monday and there was a group of kids (ages 10-15 I guess) who where deciding what kits they wanted next. lets face it $20 for a model kit, is still cheaper then $60 for a video game. not including the $400 needed for just the system too play them. also kits aren't being sold in the amount they used too be. with no big box stores carrying kits anymore its make them harder and harder too sell. The reason why Model King kits where expensive was because of the small numbers that where being done. well. the kit manufactures are doing the same now so there will be an increase in price. I'm gonna continue buying, price increases aren't going too stop me from buying, it only makes me enjoy this hobby more becouse since i'm putting more money into the hobby it will force me to become a better modeler.

I feel lucky. most of the local Hobby Shops in my area are doing good. the only that might close is because its in a bad area. my main hobby shop just moved into a bigger location, The local economy is doing pretty good since its based mostly on education and health care.

used the coupon to get a Revell 66 GTO for $9. they had the new Revell Bullitt (68 and 08) kits for a whopping $24.99 each.

I've seen the paint chips. it might just be easier and more correct to backdate the AMT 71 kit to a 70

Panther Pink 71 Charger

a 57 handyman would be awesome

could you order a 1971 Duster in Moulin Rouge, I found a 71 Charger in Panther Pink thats factory correct. and 1 website I found said it could be special ordered but I have found no 71 Plymouth in Moulin Rouge

There are still alot of surprising cars out there with available manual transmission. did you know you can buy a regular Cadillac CTS with a 6sp. manual a Manual was a must when I bought my Subaru Impreza, and I had no issues finding one I liked. in fact I've never owned an automatic, my first car was a 95 Geo Prism, then an 01 Hyundai Accent, and then an 01 Ford Ranger. all sticks.

I guess I'm one of the few who won't buy anything but a manual.

2010 Taurus SHO It all sounds good. twin turbo V6, 365 hp. AWD, but why did they have too ruin it with a stupid fake manual/automatic transmissions. The reason why the SHO died was because they took away the manual transmission. now this one does'nt have one. would it kill the big three too produce a car with a proper 6sp manual Transmission with a clutch

Brookfield did a 93 Caravan/Voyager in promo form. The only difference I believe would be the dash. Tamiya makes an excellent 66 Bug, but i'm not sure what would be needed to convert it to a 73 and sadly no Mclaren F1 has been kitted. I wish there was one but no kit manufacturer ever produced one.

looks good, much better then the 70 Challenger Revell just released. I have too get me one, but if any Mustang experts can tell. that appears too be a 67 interior

The fact that James Harrison was held the entire game. and the fact that Arizona was getting some excellent spots, on there first touchdown run they had a couple generous spots that where gifts from the officials. The NFL is going to start adding chips too the balls too the balls so that they can get some accurate spots

its says on plastic-model.com that its due out now (late Jan). so i'm guessing we should see it any day now

looks like another excellent kit.

not sure of this is what your looking for but dynacorn classic bodies makes crate bodies of 69 Camaro, and 67 Mustang, these are stock and are not cheap. about $15,000, , C.A.R.S. INC selles of crate 55 and 57 chevy I've not seen a Nova body. but I remember seeing these in Hot Rod Magazine a few years ago

Cmon Montoya, hold off those Porsches

what paint should I use to make plastic tires look realistic. The kit i'm working on only has hard plastic tires molded in white, and I need them too be painted black and look realistic.

your right. I assume they did that so that it is easier to apply the decals. but I don't think it would make any difference. according too reference both cars use the exact same wheel. right down too the same center cap. Bullitt Wheels 07 GT-H wheels

I thought that sounded wrong. thats what I get for getting my info from wikipedia

Technically there both European since the Challenger is based of the Chrysler LX platform. which is was developed originally by Mercedes-Benz which they used in the S-class

I'd really like it if Revell reissued there 1/8 and 1/16 F body Camaro's. there great kits.

I sold my Ranger, now have a 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i sedan. its stock right now but once the weather gets nicer i'm gonna get some wheels for it. this off course isn't an actual picture. but its just like mine.
