    Sorry, I messed up and copied the wrong box image. The Aurora Demolition Demon is the real deal, and I had never seen it: http://slotblog.net/topic/38050-aurora-demolition-cars-132/

    Looks like that set of five-spoke mag wheels has made another appearance, this time paired with some redline tires:

    It's finally available.

    I've never seen the Modelhaus Impala, but do these parts look like the Modelhaus parts?:

    Honestly, how many total kits is Atlantis able to produce and market in six months? They already have at least one airplane kit they talked about producing, and they have other genres to cover, too-- space, figures, fantasy, etc.-- so one auto related kit (and the GotRB is rather loosely auto related IMHO) per quarter seems about right to me. I'd be with that, and it sure beats zero.

    I'm sure someone will post it on their 'site or facebook page, be it Atlantis, CultTVMan, or another person/company. The GotRB and Lil Red Baron might be the only two automotive related announcements for Q1 and Q2.

    I think you mean A&J Resin Kits?: https://www.facebook.com/AJ-RESIN-KITS-321209548065537/ I would be a bit wary, based upon the images I see on the facebook page. It appears the bodies have all been painted with grey primer, which, if true, is never a good sign. I see some details (door gaps, drip rails, window opening moldings) which are a bit crooked and sometimes crude, too. There is no legitimate contact info listed either-- no address, e-mail phone number, etc. At a minimum, I wouldn't buy from that company unless it was through eBay with PayPal protection. I can honestly say I wouldn't recommend you buy from them at all, based on what I see...and don't see.

    Sounds eerily similar to using a fake name on a forum...

    Thank you for posting in the correct forum section. Please read this topic for updated information:

    If you can find the decals, this is the same kit, and they are dirt cheap now, too:

    Some not-so-great pics of the 1/24 Monogram '69 GTO "The Judge", kit number 2443, from 1994:

    http://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/74/monogram-dodge-shelby-charger-snaptite Everything fits together very well, as was typical for Monogram kits of that period.. There are many mold seams to clean up, a few in challenging locations, particularly those along the hatch/upper quarter joint. The tail and headlight lenses have the large mounting pins, too, which isn't great. I do recall one or two small sinks marks on the body, and the "glass" looked a little too recessed, too. I would give it a go if you're a fan of the car. A little more effort on body work getting everything aligned and evened out will do wonders for the finished model.

    This will pull up that topic.

    What the heck does this mean?: "we don’t want to make the same mistake for our third release as we did with the first two"

    General For general model car hobby or 1:1 automotive related topics ONLY. I think it was only issued twice, and last in 197...3? I doubt they made 50,000 each production run, either, so they are definitely not common by any means. I think I paid $40+ for an built version over a decade ago, and lucked into an affordable Lil T'rantula. It would be neat to see all of the Monogram caricature kits return, but we'll have to wait and see/hear. I doubt Atlantis has even finished going through everything they acquired yet.
  23. Casey
    Not everyone is excited, but it's not difficult for people with empathy to understand that while this kit may not appeal to them, there are other kits which Atlantis may reissue in the future which will. For those not familiar with the Monogram Lil Red Baron kit, it's basically a caricature version of the classic Tom Daniel-designed Red Baron kit, and one of two dozen or so kits in the series of caricature kits released the early '70s:

    Goodyear Tracker A-T tires?
  25. Casey
    Yeah, there have been originals and reissues available since those were new, with people charging various amounts for them. Dave Van posted this on the Coffin Corner forum, so I guess we'll wait to hear what Atlantis has to say when they are ready to make an announcement: "On OCT 25 Atlantis will publish a list of the kits they will produce the first 6 months of 2019..."
