Also, some of their kits are old ESCI kits originally..like the 70s Mercedes SLC and G-wagen and older Land Rovers..

If I had a daily commute something like a Mach-E would work for me...though I do like the Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq...may take one of those for a test drive when I take my CT6 in for service. Though I really want a CT5-V Blackwing.

In the olden days, pickup trucks could also haul a 4x8 w/ the tailgate shut...but the vast majority of pickups today have short 5.5 or 6 ft beds..

I've read that the Mach-E is the best selling Mustang variation...Ford has cut back truck EV production as those were duds in the marketplace.

Nor care. Separation of concerns.

I like that...though Zeus Bronze is my favorite C8 color.

I've seen Broncos and Bronco Sports in a similar color w/ white grille, white wheels and roof and I like the look..

As with most modern vehicles, there is nothing interesting to see under the hood. Leave it to the dealer to mess with. So in 1/25th or 1/24th a curbside kit is fine by me.

I like that Chevy green, a Corvette would look good in it...better that awful battleship gray that is so popular, or the usual silver, black and white...

I guess they did that so in a year or so they can release a stock Cyclone version with the stock hood...

The AW Sport Fury diecast is sweet...I have it in all 3 colors. Would love to see one in 1/25th.

Actually, the '72 Duster kit is based on the MPC '71 Demon 'new tool' from last year (which is designed like the old MPC Demon/Duster tooling).

On my afternoon walk saw the orange ‘68 Charger again. Looks clean and straight, side marker lights removed.

Speaking of DeLoreans, I saw a bright red one a few years ago on I-40 in New Mexico. Don't know if was painted or a wrap.

Sweet...I was in Myrtle Beach just as Mustang Week was wrapping up last year, saw a lot of sharp cars. But in my Cadillac, my '87 Mustang GT was home in Ohio.

I’ve been playing around with Copilot and Gemini AI at work, we have a corporate initiative to use it on all new projects, so far I’m skeptical but I’m learning how to use it.

Forgot about this, but in traffic on Friday saw a white RHD Honda Today. Tiny car, looks like a shrunken 90s Civic in profile. Like this:

Hmmm..either it was very rusty underneath and split naturally or when someone tried moving it, or when it was still driveable someone was playing Dukes of Hazzard...

I remember hearing about it on the CBS Evening News (I was 9 in 1979), don't recall lines at the gas station but my Dad did mention about the cost going up...probably took a lot to fill his '79 Lincoln Continental and my Mom's '77 Thunderbird then.

Looking at the Pro Touring chassis and suspension and thinking about what other kits I could use it under... maybe a first gen Mustang--since the Mustang has Falcon/Comet roots IRL but with a 6 inch shorter wheelbase. Maybe the Monogram 1/24th '65/66 Mustang would be the least work..need to dig one out of my stash. I compared it with the AMT '66 and '67 Mustangs (1/25th), the chassis would have to be narrowed considerably and the wheelbase shortened to fit.

Got mine recently, nice kit.

Yes.. also different seats, roll bar, exhaust, etc. I haven't compared all the parts, but plenty different. I like how the Pro Touring has the different chassis with room for wider rear tires (the K-code one has some very narrow tires).

I got mine from Spotlight Hobbies...many vendors have them. Prices all seem to be within a couple bucks of each other.

These came yesterday. They look good at first glance. The K-code version has 3 intake options, seems to be lacking only the stock hood as far as building a stock Cyclone. Odd they didn’t include the stock hood.

Didn't realize Napster still existed...
