The Packard and Merc 770k look pretty interesting... I had seen the Revell issue of the Opel 4dr convertible, but the weird scale (1:35th) is kind of a turn off...

Sweet...I like the look of those old FJs

@Tom--that is sweet! Is that in 1:25th using the early '90s AMT longbed w/ the MPC '82 Bronco clip?

Ford calls the wide-side style bed a 'Styleside', I believe...a marketing term like Flareside or how in the late '60s they called fastbacks 'Sportsroofs'...

Yes, lots of running changes and year-to-year differences..the '90 Mustangs, for instance, added the air bag steering wheel and knee pad, but eliminated the center arm rest.. but it came back in '91 IIRC. Also, the pony emblem on the right side of the dash was added somewhere around '90, my '87 GT didn't have it (though I later added it).

'61-74 Continental...I esp. like the 4dr convertibles and the '70-74 2dr hardtops. I also like the Mk III, IV, and V.

For a modern Hemi I like the Revell Magnum or Challenger (6.1 SRT engine). For a base 5.7 engine, the Testors Charger R/T engine is better than the AMT 300C engine, IMO.

At one time, they did that...but in the recent Round 2 era, reissues of MPC kits are generally boxed as MPC.

I can't imagine the race car hauler would have Petty decals, it is a Ford... (wouldn't Petty back then have had a Dodge truck for a hauler?)

It wouldn't be under the AMT listings....search on MPC.

The Tower Hobbies listing says 'AMT Petty Dodge Dart Sportsman'....separate listing from the MPC '75 Dart Sport. I wonder if it's going to be the earlier kit or just the one that was reissued around 2000 without Petty decals (a race car with the later Dart Sport bodystyle)...i.e. this kit:

Yes, the Astro style ones would look good on a lowered Revell '59 or '60 Chevy or AMT '60 Starliner, I think...full size cars of that era...

Some resin kits are accurate and high quality, some are not so much...this falls into the latter category. I do wonder why some resin casters even bother if they can't get the body shape and details accurate. This one isn't at the same level as a TKM resin kit though....

I think Revell overdid the windshield black edging..it's there on the real thing, but much narrower.. I'm more of a GT fan as far as Foxes go, but I've seen LXes of that era both with and without black beltline molding. IIRC, the '91-93 LXes got the body color molding. I have all the brochures of that era somewhere in my stash.

Just a tacky cut-and-paste done by a body shop with salvage parts, I would think. Or a Photoshopped image.

When I lived in Colorado, my favorites were Compleat Games and Hobbies in Colorado Springs and Colpar's Hobbies in Aurora. Here in the Phoenix area my favorite is Hobby Depot in Tempe. I've been to Andy's a couple times, but I don't go to the westside very often.

I've bought the new Pegasus wheels (5-spoke and chrome reverse) from Model Roundup.

One of the '67s I have has that half-roof glued on it..

Speaking of '70 Torinos, IIRC Missing Link Resin used to make a '70 Torino GT convertible...wish they would reissue that one, I missed out it the first time..

Looks like a midsize to me (Belvedere).

Sharp...by the way, the current issue of Collectible Automobile mag has a nice article on the '73-77 Century and Regal..

The SELtd mirrors are great for '70s GM products...I've bought several pairs...

I have several MCRC kits, very nice...'67 and '71 Mustang coupes, '70 1/2 Falcon, '70 XL... white resin that looks like styrene. I hope they reissue their '70 Fairlane coupe, I missed that one when it was first out.

AF/X resins wagon is a Belvedere, I think? R&R makes a Belvedere wagon also.

Apparently that was a picture of a First Gear diecast used for the box art mockup. The kit will actually be the '70s C600 delivery truck kit..was discussed in another thread a while back.
