Since I'm not using her Majesty's highwaymen for my parcels, posting a model kit within the UK costs me £2.90

Are you saying that 60-61 Letter Series Mopars wouldn't sell in 1/25 scale?

If the promo tool, or any other, while we are at it, still exists in reasonable shape, it should be reissued. Why can't they do a special program of unassembled promos targeted at the discerning collectors/builders, with simplified packaging, yet slightly higher prices, to offset the lower quantities to be expected? Those X-ELs of yore weren't cheap either, yet they sold.

That'll be Fernando Beige for me, please.

One could possibly do this to conceal the wrong roofline/quarter windows. However, I'm tempted to build it as wrong as it comes out of the box, in a kind of Palmer spirit.

Postage from France is outstandlingly expensive, even just across the Channel. If it saves you any, you can always use me as a relay station for your European purchases, though.

Sadly, this issue does not allow you to build your granny's stock, Stovebolt powered, beige version. The stock body remains intact. BTW, this is the hatchback version. This is all the glass there is. The only chassis you get is this tubbed one. Then you get a pretty much redundant "interior", which needlessly robs 1/4 of depth. This might still be left from the annual kit. This isn't. This probably is. Not sure what engine this is, but you do get a rollbar and a Lenco. I guess this was newly tooled. There is a stock hood. Some chrome. Oddly the steering wheel is separately packaged. The hood scoop, too. Low effort decals. Tires are not fish nor flesh. Previously, the very same kit was available with this box art: It shows all the stock parts, despite they weren't included. So one wonders, how they did the box art model (tool being intact speculation applies here). One also wonders, why it came back as a '76, despite a '77 existed (tool not updated speculation applies here). My verdict: This kit is delightfully rubbish, hence I will build it.

They used to be. It was a big mistake to sell my last R4. They command relatively stiff prices nowadays, but I'm sure there is one in my future. Over all these decades, I always had something American and something French as a second car.

Do it!

At the stake!

I can't tell them apart even after it is pointed out to me. Worse. I don't give a bloody toss. Whatever gets reissued, I'll buy it anyway.

If you knew about it beginning of July, then why didn't you post it then?

We'll talk about that once the year is over...

You are, of course, correct. Thanks for pointing it out.

The box was completely unscathed and factory sealed.

The Fourgonette is now abailable in a "bakery" version:

That would be much appreciated. Did you see the disaster I had with the DS kit?

Moebius could consider to continue the Letter Series they already started with new tooling. They gave us the "A" and B, the C we have from AMT. D and E can wait for later (or some resin casters could be doing them using the AMT as a base kit), so the next big hit would be the F and G. This would also yield a proper full size unibody chassis for the first time in kit history. I'd need at least a casepack for kitbashing with old Jo-Hans.

There are some extras available from Ebbro. A 4L to GTL Clan converison kit: http://www.ebbro.co.jp/new/22_item/index85.html A 1979 Rally Paris-Dakar decal sheet: A fixed roof body: No idea how to get them, though.

Thanks. But no thanks. I think I would have a daily St. Vitus' dance fit in such a slow paced never changing work environment.

I want this: Hugh. I have spoken.

So if the Iron Horse mould still exists, it could be re-combined with the obviously available '66 Mustang bits to make an Iron Horse kit. How's that for speculation? Or Speculatius. Or sumtin.
