I like the fact that you are offering these kits in the first place. As I have said before, NO model kit is perfect. I don't mind refining a model kit, as I think it separates the "men from the boys", but some glaring mistakes in proportion, unless necessary for tooling, or economics, is not good. Some comments I see on this board are not important to me, but a lot I see, I agree with. My observation as a customer of several Mobieus kits is, please offer some different sized tires in these kits. The tires in the '65 Cyclone scale out too big. They look good, but they are huge in comparison with the tires on my '64 Comet Caliente. Both cars ran 14" tires when the car was equipped with a V8 engine. I have a couple of suggestions: Get your hands on the AMT kits of a '62-3 Nova, and a '63 Ford Pickup to compare your tool with. While they are ancient, they do a fine job of capturing the subject. If the bodies of the new kits look anywhere as good as the old kits, I'll be singing from the rooftops. I can not wait for these, and thank you!!! By the way, I'll have one or two of the new "61 Catalina kits for my collection when they are available to me.

I wish them luck. Neither the '66 Ford F100 nor the '64 Nova SS has never been kitted, and will be a home run if done right. I suggest that the kit designer consult an expert on those vehicles before releasing them, as a lot of us will not be too forgiving if the execution is poor. From what I see here, quite a bit of "refinement" is in order.

Thank you Casey!!!!

I built a Monogram 1/12 scale '69 Z28 about 30 years ago when I was a bachelor. I remember painting it in my Kitchen, and wet sanding it in my bath tub full of water. I painted it Dark Green, with white stripes, and a Black Interior. When I was a teenager, one of my father's friends had one, and he let me drive it by myself. It was all stock, save for a set of headers. This was in 1975. I built the model as a tribute to that car. It is still on the shelf in all its dusty glory. I also have a 1/12 '57 Chevy that I built a few years before it to match my friend Chuck's car. It's on the shelf next to the Camaro.

I still have my DOH version that I bought only for the box art. I may do it as a Satellite Sebring Plus, as I have the Missing Link Resin Flat Hood and Full wheel covers for it.

This is a very nice build. I had a 1993 Regal GS for a demo. Nice car. Thanks for the memories.

Unfortunately, I do not have the pictures anywhere but Photobucket, and I cannot pay the price they want.

I really like those wheels that car with those wheels. I have a Missing Link Hawk to finish, and those wheels would set it off. Now to get an Avanti/

I have one of the '71 Road Runner Reissues from back in the 80's and a resin '72, which I had planned on combining with a "new Tool" '71 Charger like I did my '73 Road Runner. I happened to really like those cars. It would not surprise me if RC2 decides to bring this one out in the near future.

That is one great build!!!!

I would love to get one of those Falcon Wagon Roofs from you Bill.

I have several AMT Avantis, but I did not buy the latest one. I may have to just for the Halibrands.

That is one handsome truck Dave. Even though I am a Chevy Guy, I can go for one of these as well. Maybe we will get a kit of the new upcoming Dodge Ram. Step on up kit makers. There is a market.

I got both versions of the caps and rings from Missing Link. With the advent of 3-D printing and talented people who can work with it, we can now get correct sets of wheel covers, wheels, and hubcaps that were never in a model kit. I have bought several different wheel sets to do variations of an uncommon car, I have in my basement an un-built, original annual AMT '72 Mach 1, and the caps in that kit had a weird domed center, but otherwise they were correct. And no Rex, it's not for sale, but if I do sell it, you will get first dibs on it.

I happen to like Falcons myself, and I have a few of them in the to do pile. I have a '61 sedan to do, It's been started where I removed the supposed body sculpture mouldings, removed the ill placed mould lines, and replaced the mouldings with half-round styrene strip. It is in primer now. I have to find a period color other than red to paint it. I can hear that little six buzzing away. I may do it up like this.

It depends on what you want to build. David explained the different kit variations of the '62 Chevy Full size car from AMT and Revell. Either kit will do fine.

To me, it is beyond saving. I am a replica stock builder for the most part, and if it were mine, I would make a drag car out of it. OI happen to like first edition Ford Falcons. I would shave the chrome mouldings from it, but keep the body sculpture, and combine it with one of AMT's '65 Falcon Gasser model kits, and do a period car, For the roof, the one from the '65 Falcon will work nicely, and give it sort of a '63 Falcon Sprint vibe. It would be quite unique.

I can't ask for better than that.

I love that car.

Woooooo!!!!!

I know nothing about Military Jeeps, but that one is exquisite!

That is quite handsome, Randy.

I got my '70 Charger Today. I like what I see, and I have the paint to do it with. I also got some AMT Polyglas white-lettered tires. hen I was a kid when this car was new, my favorite color and trim combination was Plum Crazy/White Interior/ White Longitudal Stripes. By the way, I also like that Top Banana Car in the pictures also.

You are absolutely right John. I am trying to get some cast up in resin for several Ford projects of mine.

I, for one, appreciate the fact that you are making corrections to the '58 Ford body, that few modelers would, or could do. That one is looking so good in those colors, if it were me, I would do it up in Pearl White/ Gold Flake with a coordinating 2 tone interior with pearl white roll and pleats, and gold bolsters and primary trim. That would set off the gold and chrome trim on the car.
