That is actually a Ford commissioned show car. FoMoCo did tons of evolutionary show cars. Most famous is the 66-67 Mach I showcar, the Mustang II of 63-64. They did wild stuff. 3 64-66 Merc showcars had wrist twist in them at various times IIRC. Here's a great reference page. Russian but safe, used it for decades. http://www.carstyling.ru/en/manufacturer/Mercury/ http://www.carstyling.ru/ru/manufacturer/Ford/

Norm has NEVER had a website, too busy making awesome product. I've bought from him for 25 years. He doesn't need a website. Lots of places to find his stuff and Harold Bradford's HRM stuff too. His early hot rod stuff is amazing. As is his sports car stuff, and Brad's product.

There's a nice resin Victoria body with body, trim, and interior available. It's old R&R I think, but I got mine thru Steve Kohler at Star. Chrome not done, but with Molotow or Modelhaus chrome (got it for mine) it's easy. http://resinrealm.net/Star/STAR Models/51_Victoria.html $41

Twice around the bowl and pointed at both ends

Suh-weet! Just asked Wheels boutique guy for weight of new wheel vs. factory forged on 720. Non-answer, 3rd forum I've asked. 1# unsprung ~5# sprung weight. Morons.

Didn't say I'm not buying it. Merely posted it is imminent. Posted my disbelief that out of ALL new Beetles, they pick THIS. I've grabbed slot bodies to do cars that'll NEVER be done (2J, etc.) I usually buy 1:1's, so a kit is just a nice pastime. I don't see Panameras getting tracked at COTA or MSR. Guess a day trip to Spa or the 'Ring due for the product planners at GRev. Considering most Panameras are sold as car guy cars for guys that really don't like cars, or Junior League staff cars (along with Rangies, et al), I not imagine what Germans under 30 think of this? LOL. Bob may get his GT out of this tool. But a 991 tool with minor changes can yield base cars thru GTS. Flared body gets GT2, R, GT2 Touring. Big flares get GT3RS, GT2 RS, TT, That's a real mindbuster on efficient tooling use, and 991.1 and 991.2 as well.

Because it's been explained twice in this thread, and I've seen it used as written abbreviation in the prewar hobby for 40 years. Sorry it's so hard for you. Nobody else seems confused and irate. Have you tried decaf?

AMT did a 64 Cutlass ht and convertible. They did a 65 Olds 88 coupe. No 65 Cutlass/442 ever done.

Not be an iconic race car? Not be a crushing supercar? (see Koenigsegg, etc) I forgot 906, 910, RS60/61. Who would remember these cars?? Panameras will be remembered through the end of their leases. I'm sure 10's of people will rush to buy a kit. 4/10 will return it because it's a kit.

Just saw German Revell Panamera kit coming on order sheet. 911 GT2? no. GT3? no. GT3 RS? no. SUV that sells like crazy? Of course not. A better than Mk1 4 door? We're on it.

Mark, as usual, you're correct on tub. It is Identical to the 6899 issue with the chopped WSF on the orange Phaeton. The rear door trim is still missing in Phaeton tub now. I'm pretty sure WSF is boxier on the Tudor, but couldn't find the Vic.

Windshield frame

On related note, there are no films in radiology departments for the most part. Digital imaging has been standard for years now. Marks are digital if used, measurements easily made. So no pens or markers used. They use tattoos for radiation treatment targets, but that's about it. FWIW.

It's a new Tudor only tub. The fenders are the same as the Phaeton and the Vicky, as is most of the kit. IIRC it only has front buckets. Mine is in progress with a bunch of other 32's but I've messed with it enough I'm pretty sure. Bought it new. The chrome tree is nearly identical, but the wsf is boxier than the Vic too. You can see it in Casey's photo of chrome tree.

Don't "drop it in boiling water". EVER. Here's my friend Mike Poole's tutorial, it works well. I've tried many ways, and had zero luck with any but this. http://www.austinsms.org/Straightening-Warped-Plastic-Parts.php

Nice. Not my thing, but nice. Agree some things need fixing/refining, but we shouldn't do much other than contact Moebius with POLITE suggestions. I do like the 66, and 64-66 can be done, as well as 4wd, looks like 64-65 Nova can be hardtop, post, and convertible, maybe wagon but diff wb IIRC. Nice effort. Looks far better than Trumpeter thing. Cool surprise for many.

More realistic. Miss Dave a lot.

The LTD II T-Birds have zero recognition, nor do the Fairmont thingies. Zero. I haven't seen any in decades. They're not in shows (S&H was in last 10 yrs I guess). I'm quite baffled by the cult of lousy 70's cars to anyone that'd never been exposed to them before. I'd expect the S&H sold well, but the Torino probably is a dud. Hipsters like the Pacer/Gremlin because they're heinously ugly, hence "ironic", and most kids 15-18 are not getting drivers licenses. They UBER, or bike. 1/3 or more of 20 somethings after college move back in with parents. Cars are tools at best. Also, the number of people that can go to a model show, or even know they exist, is an extremely small fraction. Car companies rarely do brochures anymore, all of it is on the web (not ALL, but enough to mollify buyers). Just sayin'

IIRC Fujimi did kits of sushi. HLJ had them on sale a few years back.

Does ANYONE here buy these things at retail?? Really?? All the screaming about the prices and "I bought one for $1.49 in '62" with other threads about HL shelf watches and Ollies $5-7 sales? Plus shows and everyplace else? Nobody's holding a gun your head. But companies are in business to make money and pay for old and new tools. AMT paid for the tools whenever. Fundimensions paid for some tools etc. Round 2 JUST bought these tools, have to pay the bank back. Don't like the price? Find one of old issues for less. "I bought a Mustang new in '64 for $3200. I want new one for same money!!11!!" Go hunt $.05 candybars while you wait. Casey, Ace, as always, thanks for your and others input. I'm getting a wheat penny out to go buy gum.

Italeri Boxing. Came out in 84-5. Red model pixs on that box. Had other issue with drawings. Their F40 is a prototype, has 5 vents on quarter under rear spoiler. Testarossa is meh. 288 rear quarter is long, Fujimi seems a bit short, and tires don't fill wells. Stance fixable on both, but quarter a lot of work. This build shortened mirrors, correctly put quad squ Credit to builder, great in silver, Mexican 288 repainted silver long ago. Haven't seen in years. Correctly installed quad lights under bumper

Modelers, found pic, mine's buried

Fujimi ran the 2D in last 3-4y IIRC. dead repop. Had Modelers but friend got repop and it is identical. Both plastic

Airtrax has a nice Lusso. FPP has done most late 1/24 TR variants, 61, 62, and god love him, an awesome resin 54 375 LM winner.Nice 166MM Chinetti 0008 too Still need MFH or Renaissance for 58 Hill 250 TR non pontoon 0728, and 60 LM TR, plus MFH for 64/65 250/275 P's
