terrible news, I was getting ready to order paint for my SuperAmerica, hope Leon comes back, he's produces a fantastic product

wow, what a dissapointment, an STS?, so all the 60-80 year olds can build a version of there 1:1, The EXT better be an 07, it would be stupid to produce an 06 when AMT already has a nice 06 on the market. and notice alot are listed as 1:24 scale. is Revell maybe changing scales on us. and notice the 300C and Charger SRT-8's. would be nice to build an SRT-8 but the AMT kit has been out for a while now, and the Testors Charger is supposedly going to be out very soon. it would be awsome if the Silverado is the 07, but its prohibably just a reissue of the 99, alot of reissue's, most of which can still be found very easily, the SVT F-150 is at Toys-R-Us for 5.99, as idicated on HH, the 70 AAR Cuda will have an updated body, I wonder how the AMT kit will compare with the Revell. since there both going to produce 1970 Plymouth Cuda kits.

does this kit include these wheels, or the same ones from the 1996 issue?

Olds Vista Cruiser, preferably a 69, so I can do the "That 70's show" car 2007 Dodge Ram SRT-4 New Tool 1969-72 Nova 2007 VW GTI and finally, 1980's Oldsmobile Hurst Cutlass

Deffinently need to order some of those Muscle Magic US Steel Daytona Type 16 inch

oK, I thought it was an AMT kits, so searching came up with nothing, then when I searched for an MPC Blazer this came up

hmm, notice the 70 Cuda kit is not listed as a New tool, i'm guessing there going to start with the old AMT 74 snap, a new chassis, and engine detail would be great, and if it was backdated to a 70 that would be great to, always liked the lines of AMT's 74 Cuda, even though it is such a basic kit. can anyone fill me in on the 75 Blazer snap, I don't remember that kit

I finally got a chance to get a good look at this kit, and noticed this problem with the dash, right above the glove box, it appears to be that when they poured the mold it did'nt completly fill the dash, does anyone else have this problem ,The rest of sprue is ok, but just the dash is miss formed.

no, no one does. there is only a 1:27 Mastio Diecast

are there anyone resin casters out there doing any new parts for the Model King reissue? like, older grills, 6ft bed, non-camper 8 ft. bed

looked like a good show as usual, missed it for the second year in a row though, had some family come in, sucks since Castle Shannon is only a 20 minute drive for me, and I used to work in that area

I've deicided to build the pre-cooters car from the movie, which is the dirty old looking Charger, anyone know of these steel wheels in 1:25 scale? I have them 1:24 scale but they look way to big on the car, also, is there a color close to this one? the nice General Lee is painted big bad orange. (The TV show car war Corvette Orange), I know I have to weather it alot but I wonder if I should just paint it big bad orange or if I should paint it something lighter then weather that

Here's what I say, this kit is NOT for the hardcore modeler. it is intended for the weekend modeler, maybe 12-16 years old. who looks and see's a cool looking kit. and does'nt care about accuracy, or anything like that. both cars resembly JADA DUB City diecasts. which are very popular. so anything that helps sell kits is welcomed. but as a hardcore modeler i'm only getting these kits for parts, and comparo I saw online about the AMT Z and the Tamiya Z show that both are very close in size. so i'm hoping to be able to use the motor of out the AMT in the Tamiya kit and make a full detail NISMO Z

who out there produces accurate decals to do the General Lee. i'm building the movie car. but that does'nt matter as they are idetical to the TV Car

Here is Alex Kustov's. fantastic flocking tutorial from his site. it is excellent. its the way i've been flocking for years, http://www.italianhorses.net/Tutorials/Flocking/flocking.htm

I'm also interested in a 328, but at that price, jeez. there is stuff out there I want more then a Ferrari 328 at that price

They appear to be a cromed steel wheel, with some sort of small hubcap in the middle. the AMT 1966 T-bird has cromed steel wheels sorta like that in the kit

anyone know if the North Central West Virginia scale modelers will have a show this year in November. I can't find any info about it anywhere. but they say they will have a MODCON VIII on there site.

looks great Izzy, I just started polishing mine yesterday, I noticed that your going to attach the front and rear fascia's after painting, I attached mine before. I don't have the instructions so I don't know how Monogram suggested how to do it, but in test fitting I noticed that the chassis can be slid into place during final assembly with the fascia's attached. plus, for some unknown reason I can not get light color paint to match body panels during the painting process. so I attached them before paint and primer.

interesting question, i've had a resin Johan B-body Mopar chassis sitting in my attic since 2003. its from R&R and I only used the body, and not the chassis, so the chassis got thrown into a parts box and forgotten about. over the past 3 years it had held it shape. my attic does'nt get very hot but it gets alot hotter then the rest of the house.

thanks for the nice comments. I shot some Clear on it today, and i'm going out of town tommarow for a week so it will have perfect curing time. should have some updates next week when it progresses more

If you ever take the backlot tour at Universal Studios Hollywood you will see a sun beaten 308 from Magnum PI, of course the vehicle next to it may attracks more attention, the Death Mobile from Animal House. which the sun has taken its toll on that as far as the 308 kit goes, my decision to build the Monogram kit was an easy one. I picked it up for $2 Mint In Box at a local Flea Market. I've always wanted to build a 308, but never really looked into what kit was the nicest. I guess I got lucky.

This is early progress on Monograms excellent but very basic 308 GTB kit. painted Cobra Colors Lamborgini Verde Miura. and an attempt to replicate Ferrari's Verde Germoglio. I still need to clear it. which should happen tonight. Here's a good pic. of the car i'm replicating and here's my build so far.

I need to make "The Trip: out to Wal-Mart one of these days. closest Wal-Mart is about a good 25 minute drive from me. and it sucks, no new kits, (The only $6.00 kits they have are the 66 T-bird and the 57 T-bird,) there in the process of remodeling and the place is a mess, I hate going there, and is right next to a Hobby Shop so I usually spend money there, and then dicide not to go to Wal-mart when i'm out there. The Good Wal-mart is a good 35 minute drive on a good day. They had some of the Gremlins and Pinto's, I almost bought a Gremlin but did'nt, I'm happy I did'nt then. i'd rather build my own then try to strip and repaint a prebuilt one. There building a new one about 10 miles from me. but that won't open for at least another year. Target ownes the area I live in. there's at least 6-7 stores in a 25 mile radius. compared to 1 Wal-Mart. off course I can't say anything bad about Target, i've been an employee there since January and they keep my hobby well funded :shock: I need to get another one of those 65 Chevelle wagons, I've been wanting to build a 65 Lemans wagon for a few years,

geez, I can take a computer apart and back together, but I never knew about that shortcut, thanks, Bill that worked perfecty
