  1. Kits out now, straight reissue, decal sheets a little updated and they put new tires in the kit, but no changes other then that.
  2. I just picked this kit up today, gonna be a quick project. There is a slight mold line on the D pillers same spot on both sides. really happy too see plastic seats, not the vinyl seats we saw in the 2010 Camaro kit. only issue I have is that the headlights are molded to the body. there is glass for the lenses. but all the headlight detail is molded to the body, It could be a PITA too paint, other then that it looks fantastic.
  3. I could care less about the fake blowers, the crime against humanity are the LS motors.
  4. A little disappointed the Nova will be molded in black, I'll still get one but I would've rather seen it molded in white The Cheverro is a must buy for me. I know it's a custom but It looks good, and the ugly rear spoiler is a superate part. Ill be getting one of the Datsun Monster trucks, but just for parts so I can restore an original stock MPC Datsun pickup.
  5. Esthers Hobbys, been open since 1938. survived having 6 feet of water in it about 12 years ago. The area its in has been seeing a bit of a resurgence in the last decade. Bill and Walt's is still around but they moved outside of town. they only have 1 location now. The hobby shop in Cranberry is Hobby Express, they moved to a much, much better location up the road in a busy shopping center. This is my go too hobby shop.
  6. This kit is out now. just ordered 2 of them. one too restore a 79 kit I have, and another that will be built as an 80
  7. Happy I ordered my crew cab D200 on Friday, not expecting too see it for a couple years and that's ok.
  8. No on the bricklin, a big YES on the stock Deolorean
  9. Stopped today, nothing on clearance but they finally got some new stock in, the Revell 65 Foose Impala, and the Starsky and Hutch Torino. Used a Coupon and got another Torino for under $14.
  10. Website back up, and even though they are closing up shop they have a new kit available. A 70 Mercury wagon
  11. Avoid the MPC 69 Camaro and original Monogram 69 Camaro, both have major proportion issues for a 69 the Revell kit is the way too go, The AMT 68 kit is'nt bad, but if you want a 67-68 Camaro get the Revell version. The AMT 70 1/2 Camaro is also very good. But make sure it's the new one, not the version from he early 90's.
  12. Round 2 Posted this on Instagram a few months ago. https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/12671923_10156687393325402_4500290674262493842_o.jpg
  13. All new tool 69 chevelle. Any Jeep, Cherokee (xj), Grand Wagoneer, 2016 Wrangler 1960's Bronco new tool, accurate (not slab sided) 77 Trans Am
  14. for those curious about how the lightning rod shifter works. click this link https://youtu.be/_nSGrfzJdd0 so it works kinda like an modern auto/stick style transmission. but its no substitute for a third pedal. you could not get a manual transmission in any G-Body after 1981.
  15. Online sites say July. Due this month from MPC is the 75 Corvette, and the 79 Pinto. From AMT due is the 65 Grand Prix, and the Beetle Bus
  16. Looks like the next issue of that kit will be the FE3-X.
  17. Tower Hobbies got some more in. I put in an order for one My local Hobby Shop told me they got 6 in early this week and they where gone the same day. not expecting another order for a few weeks.
  18. I got 2 of these kits. One the body is perfectly straight. The other is warped beyond repair. Moebius needs to make the boxes a little bit bigger. Other then that they look great. Panel lines are a little light But I'll rescribe them anyways so it's not a big deal.
  19. I'm assuming the Datsun Monster truck cant be built anywhere near stock. Is the frame somewhat stock?
  20. That one on EBay sold for $80. im guessing the buyer is not a model builder and is more interesting in the fact that it's an 83 Cutlass. You can get three of them elsewhere for that price
  21. There is no tunnel ram in the Revell Cuda, there is a nice tunnel ram for a hemi in the AMT Coronet Pro Street
  22. With the cost involved with backdating the 75 Dart it would be cheaper for an all new tool Demon
  23. Good too see this one getting reissued, the proportions are much better then the AMT one last reissued about 10 years ago
