Tooling for the clear parts unlabeled? What Einstein dreamed that strategy up? LoL. All I can imagine, is they were working for the moment. To them, they were just casting toys. Perhaps they couldn't ever imagine that the fruits of their labor would ever hold any interest many decades later?

As previously stated, MENG says it will issue large 1/12 scale FORD GT40 Mk II of Ken Miles. Molded in several colors. Any info on cost and availability?

Round 2 December 2019 Product Spotlight
Jon Cole replied to martinfan5's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I would have little interest in a fire chiefs car, so I am hoping that the '70 Impala has four clear headlight lens, as well as the two red tint inboards. -
I'm a fan of trucks but...
Jon Cole replied to iamsuperdan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
No way is the Cybertruck, as is, a done deal. It is just a pre production prototype, and (I hope) will get a refinement as development continues. Be interesting if Elon keeps piping about "bullet proof windows", after that fiasco of an introduction. -

1966 American Coupe TypeC w/Blond Girls Figure by Hasegawa
Jon Cole replied to 89AKurt's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
So after ordering the previous issue from the Orient, sans lady, car in yellow plastic, lowrider version, they do this. Just my luck. But, what the heck, you should still order it. You get white plastic, a bikini babe resin figure, actual thin whitewalls on... something not quite Cadillac wheels. It is a crude kit that some say has JoHan roots. No engine, very promo like. Crude interior- the dashboard is literally a slab face, the raised edges of the instrumentation pods is represented by a decal, with lines. It (the decal) won't even be visible on a dark interior. You do get window plastic on all four sides- good if you want to try dark tinting. I personally wish it had a bench seat, instead has crude style buckets. -
Barry Fadden has passed away
Jon Cole replied to cdan delivery's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Barry was a great guy. He welcomed us into his home many times to just talk model kits and stuff. I was able to make a decal for him, and he was so grateful. He thanked me then, but now I want to thank him for being a friend. -
Stock front end for MPC 1986 El Camino
Jon Cole replied to mikemodeler's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I have that as a stalled project. I went with buying a stock mid eighties ElCo promo, with the correct nose. Zipped the hood off, and... that's about as far as I ever got it. The promo should be available on the 'bay. Sorry 'bout the lousy pic. -

found on another page: “I contacted Rustoleum customer service, and here's the deal: This is *only* for international (i.e. non-US) distribution. The Testors lines remain very much operational and will continue to be distributed in the U.S. Which, for me, is very welcome news, as Testors is my go-to for enamels (I'm not a fan of acrylics).” In other news, tonight's menu consist's entirely of crow. I don't mind the embarrassment, as long as we get to the bottom of it.

I just sent a request for information to Rustoleum's help & support page, for clarification on this matter. I don't know if they will respond.

I'm sorry, what were you folks saying about "Basically same rumors like "Testors paints pulled off market" "Hobby dying" nonsense here for years. LOL. "

VW bug 1/24 or 1/25 fenderless ?

Dave, that would make any Vee Dub fan proud to call their own! -
While it has already been covered here, I just have to say how much those fake, bogus convertible tops really burn my cookies! So outdated! Can't help but thinking about ol' Larry The Lounge Lizard finally gets a hottie out to Lovers Lane, only for her to say "Not unless you put the top down!" LoL!

The color really looks bold! Especially out in the sun.

That sent me on an OCD fueled hunt for Terry's post over at SH MB, but never did find it. Just wanted to get as much news & views on the kit as possible. Such as, when available?

First, I fail to see how asking a hobby related question is "stir(ring) the pot". Second, referring to Revell's demise is indeed a factual recent event. It happened. Fortunately, they were regenerated by the new owners, and are back. And that's a fact.
