  1. They always come by when I'm not home or don't ring the bell,that's why I always try and have Fed Ex shipments deliver to the local Fed Ex store.
  2. Sweet...clean build.
  3. Definitely would love to see the new Corvette kitted, coupe and convertible. Along w/ the new Viper and many others... alas, Revell and Round 2 seem to have a narrow focus on vintage subjects only these days.
  4. Sharp build..love those Johan Caddies.
  5. I see what you mean...the box art illustrations seem to show the headers pointed sideways and downwards...
  6. Lots of potential for stock and racing variations....both are currently available in resin, but it will be very nice to have full detail kits of them. Still would love to see a '68/69 Cyclone.
  7. The Revell '79 was the only 1/25th scale kit that I know of...the later bubble hatch has never been kitted.
  8. Looking forward to this one...some Telefunken graphics would be cool..
  9. Got an appointment today at the Apple Store at Biltmore... it's covered under Apple Care.
  10. So MCM didn't send a representative there to get the scoop? Would have thought the magazines would have a presence there.
  11. Saw it last weekend...really enjoyed it...
  12. Welcome to the forums....I'm a former Colorado resident, lived previously in Colorado Springs then Denver. I hear it's snowing today on the Front Range...
  13. I dropped my iPhone on the tile kitchen floor this morning...shattered the screen. Arrrgggh
  14. Fascinating about the '69 Fury...never heard that rumor. It's too bad a Fury of that era was never kittted..there have been a few small scale diecast '69s, I'd love to see a '70/71 Sport Fury GT kitted...or a '69 4dr sedan or '69 or '70 convertible.
  15. That is sweet...love the wheels. Like the matte black w/ stripes as well..
  16. A restorable MPC '67 Mustang from eBay..I've got the AMT annual and the modern tool AMT, didn't have the MPC in my stash.
  17. Sports cars are what the company was built on...it's rich history is all about sports cars and success in sports car racing. When Porsche was still independent, it added the Cayenne (with some platform sharing w/ VW) as a profit center (cynically cashing in on the overheated SUV/CUV market boom of the last decade). Now that Porsche is fully part of the VW family, it really doesn't need the Cayenne or the Panamera, as those overlap with Audi models. But they are adding yet another SUV soon. Consider Ferrari--they make sports and GT cars only, they don't do SUVs or luxury sedans. Jeep doesn't make sports cars or sedans. Porsche should be the same way, IMO...maintain the brand vision and focus.
  18. Depends..I've only bought new kits from Model Roundup, for vintage kits, I go to eBay first...
  19. Looking good...I'm definitely interested in one. The taillights of that generation of van look very similar to the F-series pickups of the same era.
  20. Never cared for the Mustang II with it's Pinto origins....one chapter in the Mustang history best forgotten, IMO. The ugly, humpy faux-retro styling didn't help either. The crisp, modern styling of the Fox era cars was much better, IMO..they didn't try to be retro.
  21. Sounds fun..wish I was there. Sadly, it looks like the new United Sports Car Racing Series doesn't have Lime Rock or Mid-Ohio on the schedule next year. I'll probably go to Long Beach next year (same weekend as the Long Beach Indy Car race I go to) and Laguna Seca. I wouldn't mind going to Watkins Glen since it's my birthday weekend next year. http://unitedsportscar.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/IMSA_TUDOR_2014-Schedule.pdf
  22. Neat...speaking of Cars, I saw some small scale models of them on the pegs at my LHS the other day...didn't notice the brand, they looked to be snap kits in maybe 1:43rd or smaller scale...
  23. Finland. It's very nice..I have one. No chromed parts, though.
  24. Wow...lots of miles for the age...a buddy of mine in Denver has an '01 Maxima with about 65k I think... my '00 Grand Cherokee is almost at 150k... my sister's '84 Merc 500SEL that I drive occasionally has over 200k...
  25. None yet that I know of in styrene...probably some diecast in various scales.
