¯\_(ツ)_/¯ After the 61 Pontiac and 65 Mercury I'm sure. If I had to venture a conservative guess I'd say spring or summer next year.

Back after a long one year absence!

This one is.... well, it's not hideous. Not by much, though, it's pretty ugly. I think the Roush P-51 (Ford) Mustang is the only one to get it right, because the airplane cues are very subtle.

I remember seeing a B-17 with whitewalls somewhere, but I cant find it.

The Johan roof is way worse to me, it's too flat. I think the Moebius roof is much closer to reality. Model photos from Tim Boyd's review at http://public.fotki.com/funman1712/first-look-at-all-n/new-moebius-65-plym/new-moebius-65-plym/

Not an eclipse, the last solar eclipse was March 20th, DSCOVR was still travelling at that point (launched in Feb, took 100 days to reach L1) it took that photo sometime in July. Even during an eclipse I'm not sure that DSCOVR will see it as a transit of the moon as it's position varies (it actually orbits L1). DSCOVR should see around 2 lunar transits a year.

Look around this for a few minutes/hours/days.... http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/watson_custom_cars/

For folks that don't know, it's taken from DSCOVR, a new satellite at the L1 Lagrange point approx. 1,000,000 from the Earth between the Earth and Sun where it can continuously observe the sunlit side of the Earth.

But if it's just going to be the old kit rehashed why are they scanning it?!?!?

Because it actually says 110+ parts.

The normal way Revell does it these days - RPP (Revell Preferred Partners) should get them sometime around the 20th, regular distribution around the end of the month.

Coronet is the Dodge B-body, Belvedere is the Plymouth B-body. Satellite is the top trim level of the Belvedere series.

Bored at work today, did a quick snap together of this kit. It's not bad. I like the silver for the wheels, but it doesn't work as we'll for the headlights. Wish they were chrome. Can't wait for the more detailed kits to show up, I know they're doing the pre-paint hope they do a full-detail normal kit as well. Body is matte, not textured, but just dull. Doesn't have that typical snap kit shine.

Spray the dark grey/black, then silver Sharpie for the spokes and rim. Or, alternatively, spray the silver with a lacquer then spray the dark gray with an enamel and remove the dark gray from the spokes with thinner.

Yeller.

Some Generals had the vinyl top trim, especially early ones. IIRC the "hero" car always had it, so sanding the texture off the 69 isn't as hard as it would be if you had to take off the trim. The Fireball Vectors might be a little big, as they are 24th scale. The ones from the General Lee glue kit aren't too bad. You can also find decent Vectors in the AMT Farrah' s Foxy Vette/Eckler' s Corvette and their offspring reissues. Slixx is doing a new GL decal sheet that looks like it'll be good. You'll have to scratch up a decent push bar, there were several variations over the run of the show.

Stevens isn't doing exclusive reissues any more. Anything they list will be available from Round 2, they might just be the only ones showing them right now, but they are normal Round 2 reissues. Source: I worked for Stevens for 14 years.

That goes double for me! http://manuals.hobbico.com/rmx/85-4024.pdf

The S&H Torino is already our #2 best seller (behind the Moebius Ford P/Us) solely on preorders. Plenty of folks remember the show.

Moebius should be releasing a '70 eventually. I doubt it will be that soon.

It'll be under the Lindberg label, just like the last umpteen versions of the L700. http://round2models.com/models/lindberg/dodge-l700-shell-tanke I do see a Shell Tanker under the AMT lable, too, #AMT918. If I had to guess on that one, I'd say it's the Texaco Tanker with new decals, but I don't know for sure. I can guarantee it's not new tooling, though.
