  1. I'd assume it's curbside, judging by the price point...
  2. HLJ has it for preorder also.
  3. ??? It's an AMT kit, not Revell....and a Volkswagen, not a Ferrari...
  4. The MK '70 SWB is coming this month. There is a regular issue '72 Sport Custom coming in spring, but no indication if it is a SWB or LWB...
  5. Actually, it's $2 less than the Deora on the usual sites...
  6. I got it in mainly for the inclusion of both hoods, the uptop, and the 442 grille.
  7. I wonder now...did any of the versions of the kit mention that it was Dodge based? The MPC version from the 80s didn't. Edit: I found at least one...an AMT issue from the '90s (gold vehicle on the box, red border on the box) calls it out as 'DODGE DEORA SHOW CAR'...
  8. I would think there would be something about licensing in the footnotes of the box art or on the instructions...strange.
  9. I've got the Ebbro 4L, but I may get the Heller one as it is different, once the Ferguson becomes available (really looking forward to that one).
  10. Shipping was a bit steep, about $24 USD for regular mail, with the total at 64 euros or about $72 USD, so I figure $36 each wasn't bad, probably less than they would be here, if I could even find them in a shop here....
  11. Directly from Heller... http://www.heller.fr/en/maquettes/46-new-products
  12. Got mine today, along w/ the Mehari...they look pretty cool at first glance.
  13. Got my HY and Mehari today, only a little over 2 weeks from France to Arizona...not bad. The boxes were squished slightly from the plastic wrap being too tight (soft boxes), but everything inside looks fine at first glance..
  14. The Catalina and Ventura were on the shorter wheelbase, the Catalina the base model and the Ventura w/ a bit more trim. The Star Chief and Bonneville were on the longer wheelbase, with higher trim levels and different taillights.
  15. Nice weathering on that one...very realistic.
  16. No problem...my reply was a bit terse, was typed on my phone...love these kits, looking forward to what comes in the future..
  17. yes, I have that on preorder, mentioned in the first line of my post. I was speculating on what they may do after that....
  18. The tractor is pictured on the Heller site, but can't be ordered yet, so its release is in the future.
  19. After the '70 and '72 kits, I wonder if we will eventually see more variations of this tool. A '67 and '68 would be nice. And the chassis, engine etc could be used with new body, interior etc to do '65-66 versions. Or maybe new tooling and do some '73-79 F series...
  20. One interesting detail that hasn't been mentioned here is the AMT Novas are of the hatchback body, IIRC the MPCs are the of the trunked version.
  21. The box art photos are both of the AMT kits...the 'stock' one probably was digitally retouched, to remove the wipers, etc. The parts pictured are AMT. Nothing MPC pictured in this thread that I see...
  22. It would be nice to see a full detail RSR...may have to get one and some aftermarket Brumos decals.
  23. That was out maybe 10 years ago as Revell of Germany release also...not sure when it was last available a a US Revell/Monogram release...80s?
  24. Nice to see the Mercedes AMG GT and McLaren. Odd to see the two Porsche 934 versions--those were done previously by Tamiya in those same liveries. Too bad the Isetta is not 1/24th. I wonder if the 1/32nd Opel GT and Beetle are the old Revell snap kits?
  25. No free shipping to the US, when I ordered the HY and Mehari on the 26th, the shipping was 24.50 euros.
