Suddenly it's 1949...

Unlike another '57 Chevy it actually would be, now that I think about it.

Oh wow, that is quick.

Have another 2018 release on me. Not.

The current page 1 of Round2's website: Has me in stitches! I haven't seen such dismal rubbish since the last pickup kits were released. This is how they advertise their newest stuff. You couldn't make it up. I've seen a lot of stand up comedians that were a lot less funny. What little they had to advertise in the bloody Soviet Union, they advertised more competently.

Sadly you are right. As good as the Meng is, it's the big bloody heavy duty yoke, hardly what is commonly driven down the streets. The last batch of modern pickup kits they saw fit to administer to us are almost twenty years old by now. I seriously do wonder at which pace this industry works in this time and age. Then again, when I see them doing their retarded youtube vids, or visit their websites, which are terminally hilarious and a constant source of severe rofling, I'm not surprised.

Ah, funny handshake and all that, huh?

On a more serious note, is there actually any info out on what's coming next year? 2017 was pretty dead as far as I'm concerned.

And not by a narrow margin. They will go down in automotive history as the wagons that out-wagoned everything.

I have absolutely no time for yet another bloody '57 Nomad, of all things. I'm 53, not 103. However, wagons must...

I'm certainly not a young kid, but count me in. This is my current set of wheels:

I'd need one urgently.

If pedigree were the only factor, there wouldn't be all the 2CV, Trabant and Renault 4 kits of late that are selling like hot cakes. It's time the the US manufacturers would wake up to the fact that the World didn't end in 1969.

I find it increasingly difficult to obtain new model kits. This might not be such a big issue West of Ireland, but here in Yeeropp it certainly is. For a while I thought the problem is limited to Britain, but recent trips to France and Germany revealed that kits are extremely difficult to find there, too. I've been to several toy and model shops, some really big ones among them and although they were well stocked with diecasts and railway models, there weren't any plastic kits. I came home from France without a single heller kit, would you believe it now. I mean, buying reissues online is no big deal, you know what's inside, but new kits? So not only am I left in the dark of what will be available until shortly before it's being released, which makes budgeting rather difficult, nor can I then actually find the stuff anywhere.

Why are those military models always made in the wrong scale?

They are the old promo based Hubley kits. If you look at the baseplates, you'll still find Hubley's authorisation disclaimer engraved. The Silver Cloud was in fact the only promotional model ever commissioned by that company. The Brazilian Masterkits where made somewhen in the Eighties, presumably after Revell AG did their run. They have since been reissued by Academy/Minicraft several times, I think the Royce and Trummy are even current, which may, or may not indicate that we finally lost the 300SL as well. It's always the same three ruddy kits, so presumably all the other tools are long gone anyway. Mind you, the kits weren't any good even by late Fifties standards and the mould separation lines have suffered since. Ironically they are among the longest running kits in styrene history.

Delete message, ignore asker.

I built them both, but don't have them anymore. They are a lot better than the usual Lindberg rubbish of the day and build into very nice models. Kitbashing an Italeri, you can quite easily convert the Bugatti to its pre modified stage.
