Well, now that the kit is here there will be spare parts available in a week or so. Maybe e-mail customerservice@moebiusmodels.com with your name and address as well as what parts you need? I'm sure you'll get a total that is much less than a full kit.

These are here now. In stock at the Pegasus Hobbies web store, and soon to be showing up at all the other usual places! https://pegasushobbies.wpcomstaging.com/product/1971-ford-f-250-custom-4x4-in-stock-now/

Nope. They're going to be pretty much as the Galaxie Ltd. ones were, with only a few small changes. Mostly on the legal/licensing logos & such. Too many other things in the works to find time to re-invent the wheel. I've got three more Chevies I'll be announcing shortly (none of them a C-10), four Mercurys, and half a dozen Fords (some pickups in that batch) that ALL need to get instructions, decals, and boxart put together, proofread, and rechecked again. And we're too slow already! Erik

Time for more announcements. Chevies this time around. The Galaxie Ltd. tooling has all been acquired by Moebius Models, and it's finally ready to see some action. These are all being molded in Korea at the Academy facility, so will be great production quality. New decals for all three kits. No changes for the parts as the tooling was done old school style, and there's no 3D files or anything like that to work with. The one and only change we got done is the frame sprue now has a protective runner around the bumper mounts so they will be better protected in shipping. Retail price is $49.99 ea. Stock #'s are as follows 2301 is the Aerosedan 2302 is the Coupe 2303 is the Sedan Delivery We hope to have them on the market April/May. All three running at the same time.

Ok, just how many versions of the early 'vair did AMT do? I know of the 60 4-door, the 61 2-door, and a 63 Convertible. I know some of these got issued as different years, but I don't think they actually made the changes (pretty minor really, mostly on the frunk). Erik

Pretty good. The wood trim is optional (but I needed to make sure it fit fine (it did - both sides!))

Spotlights were always there, but they are optional parts. You've got to drill a hole in the A column to fit them, and have a steady hand.....

They go together quite well, but keep in mind they are older kits are were not modern CAD designed kits. The "I don't glue the bodies on my kits and only snap them over the chassis" crowd will not be happy with how the breakdown between the front fender clip and body goes, and you REALLY have to glue the main body to the floor/firewall to get them to sit properly. As much as we'd love to tweak a few tabs & fit issues, the tooling can not be modified - only run as is. The only thing we were able to get done is to have a protective runner added to one sprue around the frame so that hopefully the bumper mounts won't get broken so often (a problem with the original kits - ask me how I know......) The build up shown in the first post took me about two days to put together, but that's making notes, proofreading the instructions, and answering the continual stream of in store customers saying "Hey, they let you build models at work?!?" More to follow Erik

No. No update on the cab. Different grill, and some actual quality control on the injection machines this time around!

Another one getting close to completion. This kit should be coming in March/April 2025

Here's the next announcement in our range. 1970 F350 Ramptruck Kit # 2588 Should be out April/May 2025 $45.99 retail

Better freaking not! I do not want to go thru THAT again........

Container is at the warehouse now, being unloaded as I type. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving! So hopefully starts shipping on Tuesday. Erik

Yes, wonder indeed. I could use a few of those.........
