No, it's not. There was never any mention of it being reissued by Revell.

I just picked up some Totally Awesome cleaner, and have a part primed with Tamiya light grey primer and painted with Duplicolor, so we'll see how it does.

Why must it be a secret that it takes Ma's Resin weeks to months to deliver product? It's already out there, and people have commented on it here many times, so I don't see why you need to defend someone else's business practices. If people don't want to wait, they won't order. If they are willing to wait, they will. Letting people know it may take months to get their product from Ma's Resin isn't bashing, it's being honest and giving your fellow modeler a heads up regarding what you can expect if you decide to place an order. The Modelhaus and R&MoM are (for the most part) "made to order" casters, and are recognized as the pillars of the resin casting industry, so to speak. They may take more than a few days to ship product, yet we don't hear people repeatedly asking how to get in touch with them and if anybody else has had trouble getting a response from them. There are plenty of good resin casters, most of whom ship orders quickly, often within a week's time. I ordered from Bandit Resin's a few months ago, and peppered Kenny with three e-mails, all of which were answered the same day they were sent. Plus, he shipped my items within four days of placing my order, and I had nothing but praise for him and Bandit Resins. A quick search through this section tells you all you need to know about which resin casters deliver their products quickly, answer customer's questions promptly, and deliver quality products. Maybe more telling is those companies which don't get mentioned here, often because their customer's are so satisfied they have nothing to complain about.

I remember that song well. Whatever you do, don't buy the KLF's album on the WAXTRAX! label, as you will be greeted with huge disappontment!

Actually, it is doing people some good. Now, when another person asks "has anybody heard from Ma's Resins?", we can just direct them to this thread and they can read of Pat's first-hand experience and his honest opinion.

Well, you should first make sure there's enough room to run the exhaust from the factory exit, then up and over the rear tires, all while leaving enough room for the doors to open. I think you will need to raise the rear suspension to allow the large wheels and tires to have more clearance, too. There's not a whole lot of room between the rear wheel openings and the back edge of the doors on a Viper.

Why so angry? The stance looks spot on. Are you planning to add a rear license plate base to cover the molded in "1959"?

You probably have to decide on either wheels and tires first, then fit one to the other. As Dave said, any Pegasus wheel isn't going to be unique, but they are nice, and maybe you can just use the tires and find different wheels.

I get to practice everyday, too...sometimes twice.

Amen to that, brother James! I don't recall Revell ever GUARANTEEING any kit would hit store shelves by any particular date, and why would they? I guess there will always be those who think "Why isn't the kit out yet!??" and others who think, ""I'm just glad Revell decided to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in an all new kit with no guarantee of being a sure-fire hit, so I'll be happy just being able to build it no matter it's released." Plus, how many times do people give Revell credit when a kit hits LHS shelves within or before the announced month? Maybe that just goes to show just how good we've got it now.

Is the grille molded completely closed?

You're better off buying the Bandit Resins kit, unless you can accurately carve out the sail panel depressions in the '76 body. Or find an older issue of the kit on eBay or similar. They aren't that crazy expensive, and you get the same basic parts as in the reiussed kit.

of the wheels in question

If Revell tooled up an all new kit of a '70 Maverick 2-door, I would buy one. I would even buy a reissue of either/both the Johan 1/25 and/or the Revell 1/32 scale kit, if made available. The Johan version had a very nicely done promo style body, but I just don't see a lot of interest in a Maverick/Comet to make it profitable as a new kit.

This would look even better with the speedster windshield from the Monogram Calloway corvette kit.

1/24 Monogram (Revell) '69/'68 GTO kit review topic: The '66 is a very well done kit. No real issues with it that I recall reading.

From the AMT B-M '70.5 Camaro kit?

Here's a pic of the decal sheet Nick Winter posted not too long ago:

I can help you with both, Ian. I will PM you in a few minutes.

Did you get an MSDS with it, Gregg? I would be curious to see what the active ingredients are. From the eBay listing: "BLUE MAGIC PAINT STRIPPER: Being a model car builder and collecter for over 50 years.. Fast, Safe, And simple paint removal was always a concern. Then about 20 years ago I discovered this incredible stuff. It did everything I've always wanted a paint remover to do. It didn't take long and all my friends started using it as well. I would never dream of using anything else, and believe me I've tried them all! This was a commercial, and never was availaable in any retail outlets. I contacted the manufacterer and was finally able to get this in one quart bottles. I'm now offering this amazing stuff to everyone in the hobby @ $21.95 per Quart plus shipping. This is how this product works. You find a suitable size tupperware container, big enough to submerce the entire model and all parts needing to be stripped. I ONLY USE THIS STUFF FULL STRENGTH, AND ALWAYS TEST IT ON A SMALL PART FIRST. some of the models I buy, have been painted in a hot lacquer with no primer, in which case the paint is usually burned into the plastic and simply will not totally strip. This stuff is safe on clear plastic and will also remove old decals and strip plated parts in minutes. This product is extremely potented when used in full strenghth. The less time you let it soak, the better.(BESURE TO ALWAY KEEP THE LID SEALED WHILE SOAKING,AS THE FUMES ALONE CAN SPEED UP THE PROCESS). I have no problem stripping diecast models; however be very sure to test it on resin models, because they are not alway the same. Once the model's are ready to be taken out of the container, hold it under a faucet, (warm water is best), and just lightly brush all the paint off with a toothbrush. It will clean,shine, and be ready to Paint. Final note; After finished, simply leave the product right in the container, making sure the lid is tightly sealed. This is a non toxic biodegradable product but I always suggest wearing rubber gloves, and working in a well ventilated area. AND PLEASE KEEP IT AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND PETS... MANUFACTRED IN THE U.S.A.,"
