But is chopped instead. Yeah, alright.

Well hey, the Eldorod was my big horse in the race, something we hadn't already seen a million of. So my goat's good and toasty.

If you wouldn't mind reading the post again, Del, I didn't say I wondered why Revell brought it out - this is the company that brought out an almost entirely retooled '13 Boss Mustang just a few years after a very similar 2010. They just tend to do that sometimes. What I wondered was why the F100 got voted in by modelers when there were other more novel Foose subjects on the menu. But like I said, I'll take it. Whatever floats everybody's boat floats mine enough as well.

Re Caddy: LOVE it. Re F100: bit mystified that it'd get votes when there's already been a similar truck in the range, but I'll take it. Re Charger: pretty solid-looking R/T that seems less and less like a Hemi the more of it we see...

Oh, I'm suure Hasegawa will go sobbing and wailing about their unexciting new BMW... all the way to the bank.

Of COURSE. 'Cause there's never been a 635 done competently in 1/24 scale before. By the usual Japanese suspects or even in a Revell/Monogram box. Yup, some fine 934 RSR logic right there...

Preorder's parked in my Private Warehouse...

Yup, sure. ANY of the early CS coupes. The 2002 is the most exciting Hasegawa release since the 250 Testa Rossa, far as I'm concerned.

^This right here.^ LED boomerangs were the biggest problems I had with the two I did.

Greenberg and me BOTH! re curbside: I. DON'T. CARE! A 2002 to N360/Jimny standards is almost everything I could have wished for. Dumb, Revell AG. Reaaaaalllly dumb. Y'allz can REDEEM yourselves with a 3.0CSL, though, if you get off your thumbs pronto.

Yup. Side scoops: YAAAAAYYY! Road Wheel/Magnums: Not so bad if the street car comes with a wedge I guess. Hemi with Rallyes would have been a nice variation. Maybe swaps with the 'Cuda...

Cancer sucks. They can't wipe that killer out fast enough. Harry and I found ourselves back-to-back on these forums more than once, and I'm going to miss that pretty dearly. Godspeed, Mr. P. The car modeling world just dimmed a bit for want of you.

Yeah, Aoshima's been on a good rip of late - but this sucker's just OUT THERE, even by those heightened standards. Over 260 parts before you start factoring in the detail-up goodies. Watching with great interest, Jonathan...

As has been pointed out several times, the '60 Starliner was a new-tool kit released in 2000. Originally there were separate stock and street machine versions, and the latest boxing, like the one from 2008, uses retro-style graphics and includes both versions in one box. There were indeed two engines tooled separately in their entirety, though both were FEs - think the hot version might originally have been described by AMT as a 406. Though the '61 Styline kit, the '63 or '64 Galaxies and the '64 Marauder are promo-based kits dating back to the '60s and have nothing to do with this Starliner in terms of tooling and design, AMT did time the re-release of a few of those kits right around the release of the new '60 so more enterprising modelers could enhance the older kits with newer one's drivetrain and undercarriage.

Wow. Had no idea, what with the reissues and such coming out. Oh well. 21 gets cooler the more I look it over...

Yup, youbetcha. Allowed myself to forget all that steaming scat for a minute. Still 'n all, I'd be happy to shell out a bit over current retail, cover Ford's (and NASCAR's) basic fees for a few baggies and then go and find some liveries on my own...

Wonder where the tooling is, and what would be lost just running some plastic through it now if it's in a decent state. I'd happily snatch up a few of these for curiosity's sake.

Kool. If only they (or Heller, maybe) could be sweet-talked into an SM...

Snagged two out of the gate. Think I'll get one or two more once they're re-released out of sheer pity. That's some rotten luck.

Yeah! Nice. Looks like it goes together and sits well.

WOOOOW, never knew of this one! Just hit the ol' online auction site for one. Always appreciate your wry little take on these, Adam!

Comes to chrome mold lines, one major bit of kudos I must deal Revell/Monogram: From the Black Widow forward, they've managed to mold a '57 Chevrolet front bumper/fascia in a way that not only looks more accurate than nearly any previous attempt, but also hides the mold seams on the rear edges for a totally clean wrap from front to side. No kiddin', don't think there's been near enough said about this accomplishment.

Just about to SAY - bully if the Audi kit comes with some guts too!

Anybody 'member when it was AMT doing EVERYTHING in a scale 15" diameter, and it was Revell/Monogram ya looked to for a decent tire profile? And now we gotta use those same AMT wheels for a correction reference. *siiiiiigh*

Until people can deal with others pointing out problems without dredging up dead horse memes that are in themselves perfect examples of dead horses, keyser in fact has it exactly right. The problems don't start with people pointing out inaccuracies on stuff with an inherent mandate to be accurate. The problems - personal attacks - have always started with those who can't handle those inaccuracies being pointed out. There would be no "lemming" talk getting thrown around without YEARS of "rivet counter" slams before it. That is a cold, granite-hard FACT, whether it squares with anyone's politics or not.
