I remember the kit that really changed the way I looked at car models was the Revellogram 59 Cadillac. I was floored by that kit, I would have been about 14 or 15 at the time.

100% sure. Converts, hardtops, and Nomads = short windshield Sedans and regular wagons = tall windshield.

Nope, hardtop, convertible and Nomads used a shorter windshield. Sedans and regular wagons used a taller windsheid. Take it from someone who has first-hand dropped a tri-five hardtop windshield into a sedan (wrong windshield was delivered by accident) there's a big difference (about 4", IIRC).

Got to see a built up at MRC's booth a IPMS Nats. Believe it's a snap kit. Theirs had the clear roof, nice to see there's a tinted (or solid?) roof as well

The tool was modified to make the Funny Car version. The unneeded parts would have been blocked off. They opened the blocks when they test shot this. good news, that wouldn't take much new tooling to restore.

Probably took more time to write the reply than it took to do it. Easy when you have a good picture to start with. I can send you the vector file if you want, it could use a lot of squaring of corners and things like that, especially in the "Mustang" part, but I think it's good enough for model work.

Still on as far as I know. Round2 cancelled quite a few things recently but this one has survived the cut (so far). All our suppliers are still showing it. Lindberg kit #104 *update* - according to Round2 they are still planning on doing this kit sometime in 2015.

As someone who's worked in retail forever, I'm right there with you. I hate the Christmas season. I celebrate Christmas on Christmas. That's it. But as I said above, if folks weren't buying, they wouldn't do it.

Say what? You're supposed to build these things? I sorta assumed you were just using a figure of speech, but I just found it rather ironic given the earlier comments you made. I still don't know what "morally illegal" is supposed to mean, illegal only has one meaning where I come from and that means against some law passed by some form of government. As for the stores putting stuff out early - they wouldn't do it if folks weren't buying. And they should look after their bottom line. If folks want to buy Christmas stuff in September, let 'em. Give the people what they want. Because people are going to buy it. They might as well buy it from you.

Lennie Pond drove Pepsi Chevys in that era with that scheme, but he was #54.

Umm, so let me get this straight... You want the government to pass a law dictating when we can and cannot buy and sell Christmas items? Isn't that taking more control over our lives?

The roll cage was redone so that it fits the size and shape of the body better. I think this is an area that might be better than original.

I didn't open one up, but here's the parts map off the bottom of the box if that helps. Instruction sheet is online at Round2 site. http://www.round2models.com/models/mpc/pepsi-chevelle-stock

Been done. Became (or was?) the Eckler's Corvette, which was reissued during the RC2 era.

Was a terrible Monogram kit long before it was a terrible Revell kit. Still cool, though. Used to be Tom Daniel's BadMan.

Yeah, I'm officially taking a wait-and-see attitude with this one. But if they use 1:1 pics for stand ins on other items, why not use a 1:1 pic for that?

What show is the Model A street rod from?

First 11 T-Bolts were Vintage Burgundy, the rest (89?) were White. I can't say I've ever really paid attention to the side spear color, but it looks like the real T-Bolts were off-white on the Burgundy cars and black on the white cars. T-Bolt clones or just regular Fairlanes are a different story, of course. You will often see red spears on cars with red interiors, and I seem to recall seeing a blue spear once or twice.

Never mind I might be thinking of something else. Yeah I was right, sort of, they did both the CMW and Motor Max.

Umm, glue kit stock number (snaps are 1600's and 1900's), glue kit price, who's saying it's a snap kit?

It's new to them! Just doesn't make sense any other way. No way they tooled that up from scratch, with the same chrome grille/headlight unit, same mirrors, same divider, it's gotta be the Lindberg kit.

Nice to see the Boomer Bucket back, but I was really hoping for a full-blown Little T restoration.

Yeah, but they're making a big deal about Lindberg kits being made in the US and the Crown Vic was a J Lloyd-era made in China kit, so it doesn't really fit into the Lindberg line going forward. Maybe Revell bought it? Makes more sense than them tooling it up from scratch.

Yes, they (Plan B and Ella) were, and the Greens even admitted as much in their initial filing. Claimed they didn't know. Didn't know, or didn't care? I would like to know more, namely the Greens' actual motives, but don't think a PM would help me out there. It's pretty obvious from you choice of words and phrases you emboldened as to what side you're on. Maybe you think you're coming across neutral, but you're not.
