    Hard to tell if it's just the photos or not, but the paint seems to have dark areas. Anyway, wonder if Revell will do one...they are so slow, though, it probably won't be out until 2016..

    Looks like a neat kit..got it a couple days ago but haven't sat down to closely grok it yet.
  3. Rob Hall
    IIRC, there were at least 2 distinct kit cars in the show..one that had a retrimmed but recognizable Corvette interior and one that had a dash that more resembled the Ferrari...also, one of them had hidden headlights like the Monogram kit, and one had rectangular headlights behind glass covers, IIRC.

    Love the style, if done tastefully and the wheels aren't insanely huge and the paint isn't overdone (no flame paint jobs, for instance--wrong genre)... Certain cars and wheels work better w/ the style than others, IMO.

    I have a good LHS (not a chain store) about 25 min from home and 10 min from my office, good selection of paint and supplies...I buy most of my new kits there or via Model Roundup or HLJ for Japanese kits.

    Very nice..I'll definitely need one or two, I think..

    Looks like a neat kit of an offbeat subject..don't think I've ever seen a non-diecast model w/ 4 opening doors.

    I've been using them for about a decade... they are the best source for Japanese kits, IMO..and they ship pretty quickly for in-stock items (often as fast as 3 days from Japan via Fed Ex) and I like their Private Warehouse service for combining shipments..

    I don't think I've ever been to a drive-in..maybe when I was little and don't remember. Never really had one close to places I've lived that I noticed.

    Not a fan, I haven't been to one in years..there are a few around, I never found their selection to be that good..plus they are closed Sunday.

    Interesting...there is no picture of it on the JF site, curious what their 2dr phantom wagon looks like.

    Some say the glass is half full. Some say the glass is half empty. I've been told that my view is that there is no glass.

    Neat..that car looks virtually identical to the first Mustang my brother had, a '66 GT convertible w/ 289 hipo and a 4spd manual....

    I don't know...I have noticed that the eBay vendor of R&R kits (msmiteymouse) is still selling them, but I wonder if they are selling existing stock, since the # of listed items has been dwindling over the last few months (I just recently got the R&R '65 Belvedere wagon and Savoy 2dr sedan from eBay).
  15. Rob Hall
    R&R is now presumably out of business after Ray Parson's death. I have the R&R '61,'62, '63 and '69 Chevy wagons..they are all based off of the old AMT annuals...they need cleanup (not as clean as a Modelhaus resin kit for example), but with some effort they can be built pretty well..
  16. Rob Hall
    That was something that was announced a while back as a 2013 release for Round 2/AMT....who knows if it will actually happen or not..it's not pictured on their website. It would be neat to see the AMT '66 back in it's original form (the '60s annual was a convertible), but I'll be surprised if it happens...

    81?

    For anything Hobby Link Japan (www.hlj.com) and Hobby Search (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/car/) are good sources for Japanese kits..HLJ is my main supplier for Aoshima, Fujimi, etc kits..
  19. Rob Hall
    I wonder about the regular McLaren F1 release...it was scheduled for August...HLJ is still showing it as August (I have one on preorder).
  20. Rob Hall
    It's showing as an October release currently... That's the new Revell of Germany Beetle..there is a thread or two around here about them (new coupe and convertible kits)
  21. Rob Hall
    It's the drivers of H2s that had/have a negative image--they seemed to attract tastless bling-bling fans or right wingers.
  22. Rob Hall
    I wonder if there are many places left that develop it either....I haven't used film cameras in probably at least 10 years..
  23. Rob Hall
    The Bandit Resins '70 GTX is nice, I have it in my resin collection...for a 1/25th '70 Road Runner, I got the R&R '70 RR a couple of years ago, a resin repro of the vintage Johan kit, I assume.
  24. Rob Hall
    I wonder if the aftermarket will make metal rivets that you can use to replace the molded in ones..
  25. Rob Hall
    Things were pretty crazy back in '99-01 in the software biz...I had one company make me a six-figure offer after only a 30 min phone interview...didn't even want an in-person interview, wanted me to start the next day, 100 miles away. I think that company tanked a few months later.
