In a warehouse that time forgot. Or melted down to make new molds. Or scrapped decades ago.

Well, it's not the level of awful the old Monogram '69 Camaro was, but there are many things wrong...roof shape, rear end too square, too much body in the front fenders and rear quarters above the wheel wells, grille, etc....I wonder if they ever corrected the engine (IIRC the 80s MPC releases had a Pontiac V8 from the '69 Firebird kit). The whole body just looks 'off' if you compare it to photos of a 1:1, or the modern Revell kit.

While sitting at a light I saw this clean '66 Ford F100 at a gas station..just out of the picture to the left behind a bus stop was a turquoise '66 Mustang convertible and a primered 1950-ish Chevy panel truck. Also saw a clean white w/ white interior '74 Pontiac Grand Ville convertible in traffic, rolling top down on this unseasonable 90 degree afternoon...

I've been planting more trees (evergreens)....my back yard had a number of stumps that i had to get removed, and been adding trees. Had my huge oak out front pruned. The house next door is getting remodeled after being vacant for a number of years, it has a dozen or so large, mature oaks in the back yard..hope they don't cut them down, makes a nice forest view.

I believe the '64 wagon annual had the 6 and the 65 annual had a V8. Never had either wagon annual, so I'm not sure.

It's a rebox of the upcoming Revell kit...you can see part of the Revell logo on the lower left of that box art card in the background. Other photos show the Revell logo.

That is interesting to me also...I wasn't familiar with KA Models, looked them up, a Korean company..looks like they make aircraft and ship kits..didn't realize they were making 1/24th motor vehicles also.

M8 GTE.

Lots of good stuff to look forward to.

Looks like a 1st gen RX-7 widebody race car.

Beautiful fall weather today... took a drive this evening down through the national park to my favorite custard stand..had a honey cinnamon pecan frozen custard in a chocolate coated waffle cone..delicious. Drove home w/ the A/C off, windows down and sunroof open...going to get out and enjoy the weather as long as it lasts...

A crew cab body for the Moebius '65-66 Fords would be nice to see.

The AMT and Revell T600 kits date to 1990.

Yeah, I need to finish mine. A few years ago, I bought a Modelhaus '68 Coronet that was already painted and came w/ an AMT '68 Road Runner chassis and engine, just never assembled. I also have rebuildable MPC '68 and '69 Coronet ht and convertible kits, an R&R '68 Coronet, R&R '69 Coronet, R&R '69 Coronet wagon also in resin..

Got the December issue of Collectible Automobile magazine in the mail today, there is an article on the '61-66 Ford F-series, lots of good pics..

One for me is the Challenger, even the '78-83 Mitsu-based ones. Love the original '70-74 and the modern ones... Can't say the same for the Charger (didn't care for the FWD hatches in the 80s) or the Mustang (didn't care for the Mustang II).

I recall reading there was a simplified version made in the 70s/80s and the firewall and red taillights disappeared then. I think the taillights were molded in by the time the Prestige Series kit came out in the late 80s.

That was pretty common in the promo/annual era.

I restored an annual (that my brother built back in the day), but the custom parts were untouched.

I’d assume those parts are the same as they have always been.

I wonder if they will do the 1980/81 K4 eventually...that had wild, very different bodywork..

Probably a prototype for a variation..there will likely be further performance variants of the Supra...definitely looks like a factory disguised prototype.

Some sources say he was born in 1944 and graduated high school in '63.

Actually, the pre order price from HLJ is USD $33.72 (just the kit, not the detail pack), and even w/ shipping from Japan it won't be remotely near $70. Your math is way off. And the first post is from someone in the UK, so he's probably talking pounds.
