    Are double stick tape or carpet tape options?

    Hopefully ICM gets back up and running eventually, but the production of some plastic models pales in comparison to what's happening in Kyiv currently. Here are some existing topics (additional linked topics inside the below linked topic) discussing ICM kits:

    That did the trick.

    I also tried to PM you just now and got the error message: Hi-Po cannot receive messages.

    Unfortunately, it's molded as one with the engine block halves. I agree the ribbed "SS 427" valve covers are nice, and the scattershield is very useable, too. The ladder bars, side pipes, and separate ribbed differential cover are all good street machine style parts which are great for kitbashing. I can't recall if these are the 1/24 S/ST wheels with the tiny bolt pattern (looks like a 5x4") or not. The ET-X wheels found (only) in the Monogram Corvette SS Hatchback work with these tires, too, as do plenty of other Monogram kit wheels from the '80s.

    Is Revell (as a whole) releasing the above in both Euro (flat-ish) and American style boxes? I don't think the most recent 1/8 scale kit, the '65 Vette, was ever released in a U.S. style packaging.

    I understand. I don't think any business wants to go out of business for the sole purpose of standing their ground, but it does carry some weight with some customers, and... ...their are LHS owners (^^^) who understand they are more of a niche business now, compare to 50 years ago, and will continue to work that angle, as well as the personal service aspect. It does pay to remember what happened the last time RC2 and Revell worked with WM, meeting their price demands, but I have no doubt many people will lament the lack of $7.44 kits, rather than remember the de-contented, below-average quality kits inside the boxes.

    Was here last night: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/list/2302/0/1 ...but is no longer. Is listed for pre-order on multiple sites, if you search using the kit number.

    Nearly as often as "I hope HL gets this kit!" 🤦‍♀️ Let's not pretend Round2 doesn't have a choice in the matter, either. We, as consumers, can chose not to support a company which gets into bed with WM, too.

    Rally wheels on the European box art. 🤔🤷‍♂️

    For context, John G works for Round2, who manages the AMT brand: JohnG says: July 31, 2014 at 7:40 pm This is only a portion of the molds, but goes way beyond the latest catalog. Some tools were never sampled in this program. I can say without a doubt that the early 60’s Ford trucks are long gone, unfortunately.

    That off-white color was fairly common for Monogram kits in the early '80s-- GMC Jimmy, Dodge Ramcharger, '69 Camaro Z/28, Bad Actor '60 Chevy Panel, etc. Do the pickup tail light lenses and front and rear bumpers fit the Jimmy body the same?

    Didn't see a reissue happening anytime in the near future, so..

    The 1:1 Satellite never had the Road Runner hood which was included with Monogram's '71 Satellite kit. Hart's Parts has long offered the Satellite hood, however: https://hartspartsresin.com/product/71-plymouth-satellite-hood/

    Thank you, Jack. 🙂

    I was thinking the opposite. The bird bath/Road Runner hood is perfection, especially paired with tank track stripes emanating from them, spilling down the fenders. 🤤 Other than the ramps/bulges hood and dual quad (or is it a high rise tunnel ram style?) intake manifold, which other unique parts are in that lot?

    Is he a YouTuber? 😁 More on the AMT Sprint Car series:
  23. Casey
    They have plenty of input, from multiple knowledgeable sources, on the automotive side.
  24. Casey
    I dunno. All of the 1/24 Monogram street machine type parts for their 2'n 1 musclecar kits were a bit generic, so while their may have been some resemblance to earlier vehicles and eras, I doubt there was any intention to offer replica parts for a specific car using the optional parts.
