    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.

    Saw this poor Mustang in my neighborhood this evening, driver took out a light pole and fled the scene.
  3. Rob Hall
    I'd definitely like to see the '61-71 Dodges, as well as '67-72 Chevys and '73-87 Chevy pickups, with more detail and variations than the old MPC or Monogram kits.

    Earlier releases had a roof 'rack' that was a large panel w/ a recessed area in it, like a tub. Nothing like the cross bars that are being added.
  5. Rob Hall
    Definitely...I'd like to see the 2dr kitted also...the Q60. Really sharp looking car, IMO.
  6. Rob Hall
    Part 71 is shaped like a radiator...
  7. Rob Hall
    I wonder if they included a radiator also, the last release didn't have one.
  8. Rob Hall
    I assume it’s the Petty Dart kit with different decals and box art.
  9. Rob Hall
    Before the new body, the kit was released as an MPC convertible around 1987.
  10. Rob Hall
    Yes...it's the MPC '69 that had a new body tooled up about 15 years ago...not very good. Nice box art though.
  11. Rob Hall
    I'd like the see the Velar kitted..that is a sleek SUV.
  12. Rob Hall
    .I thought my RV-10(Urban) one was dark green on the box, but I realize now it is black. Molded in white, one version only. I wouldn't mind having a version with the off-road parts. Have to wait and see what is in the reissue.

    And another one..Italeri's 2019 catalog lists the ex-Esci 2dr stock Range Rover as a reissue this year, though I haven't seen it listed anywhere for preorder.

    Speaking of Lexus, I'd love to see a kit of the LC500..it's a car that looks better in person than in photos. Looking forward to the new Supra kit.

    Saw a '75-76 Eldorado w/ a rumble seat on South Bass Island, Oh yesterday.
  16. Rob Hall
    Interesting...googling turned up pics from that article and a RHD car (maybe the same car...custom RHD dash). http://www.smcars.net/threads/amc-pacer-circa-1975-rhd.24572/

    Heh-heh....been there, done that...last month, bought a dozen arborvitae on close out at Wal-Mart and planted on a 90 degree day..then bought 1/2 dozen yews at Home Depot a week later. Digging holes was something I hadn't done since I was a teenager..a new world of pain.

    In a container on a ship, probably.

    Out on Kelleys Island (an Ohio island in Lake Erie) yesterday I saw a clean red/cream '55 Chevy Bel Air convertible, a clean yellow w/ black top late 60s-early 70s Jeep Commando, and a couple '59-60 Ford pickups that had been put out to pasture. After taking the ferry back to the mainland, I saw a dark blue Bentley Mullsanne and a dark red Lamborghini Aventador driving through Marblehead.

    What if...?

    Rob Hall replied to Harry P.'s topic in Auto Art

    Speaking of 'what if' Broncos, i saw a neat custom extended 4dr '60s Bronco in Arizona a few years ago... thought about building something like that out of a couple Revell kits.
  21. Rob Hall
    That's typical, though for an AMT tool from the early 60s..can't expect it to be like more modern Revell tooling. This thing is pretty ancient.

    I don't know the specifics of the board software, but in my experience themes can be very fiddly and frustrating... I've been fighting the last couple of days with a custom theme on an IBM Websphere portal cluster for my client in Barbados. The theme is working fine in the QA environment, but the production environment is causing headaches..
  23. Rob Hall
    All the optional parts (performance and custom) were in the 2015 'Heavy Chevy' reissue, this brings some unique parts--the dog dish hubcaps and fire dept lighting, etc. Though a 2dr ht Fire Chief car seems improbable, given the context of when it was originally issued, it would be a good piece to go w/ the Ford police car and Chevy police and fire vans.
  24. Rob Hall
    Saw a dark gray Aston Martin Vanquish on a back road yesterday evening, and a clean yellow Jeep Commando w/ black top a few days ago.
  25. Rob Hall
    I remember building the original issue of the kit when I was in high school...was molded in black, I did it in maroon to match a buddy's car. The optional parts in the original issue were a TPI and intake and slotted mags IIRC.
