Looks good w/ the Pegasus wheels..may have to do one that way. I plan to do one stock for certain, maybe a 2nd one slightly modified w/ modern size wheels and tires and a modern Hemi..

I saw they were in stock at Model Roundup today also...got my order in.

Scale Equipment Ltd also has them in resin, chromed.

Sharp build..like the color.

The Lotus 7 is interesting as a vintage pure sports car. If I could have a modern pure sports car today, I'd like to have an Ariel Atom. The Lotus 7 was not about speed or looks, but handling and being a pure, simple, uncompromised sports car. The 7 and Atom are bit too hard core for a daily driver, though...for a daily driver sports car I wouldn't mind having a Boxster.

Sort of is..but I give Nissan credit for thinking outside the box..instead of the usual predictable FWD generic silver or white appliances, they are doing some offbeat designs..

I don't think the convertible CUV market is going to take off, but it would be interesting see more....or how about a convertible 4dr Caddy Escalade? That would be blingtastic...

I also think of the style of wheels on the MPC '78 LRE Dodge pickup.

Lots of good stuff to look forward to in 2012...I'm looking forward to the Revell '10 Camaro, '50 Olds, '57 Ford, '62 Corvette, '77 Chevy van, '77 GMC pickup, AMT's Chevy and Ford vans, Gremlin, the Mobeius '55 Chrysler, etc... Haven't heard much about new releases from Japanese companies for '12 other than the Fujimi Pantera which I'm looking forward to.

I saw the SS coupe kit at the LHS yesterday...passed on it as I'm waiting on the full detail Revell kit (due in February or so).

The NV has been out for a year or so... strange looking van. There is a passenger version coming soon.

It was in the magazines and Autoblog/etc maybe 6-8 months ago or more... I've seen them on the lot at the local Nissan store since summer. Nissan has been doing a lot of 'different' designs in recent years...this, the Leaf, Juke, etc...

Those streamlined car parts look like the Monogram Olds Aerotech..

Picked mine up today at the LHS...pretty cool, like an all-new kit to me since I've never had let alone seen one of the originals. Mine is molded in white.

Picked up a couple new releases at the LHS today..the AMT Meyers Manx and Revell Compuware blue Corvette C5R. They also had the AMT curbside '10 Camaro SS coupe and '12 Corvette coupe in stock.

Wheelbase is different also. Would be quite a scrachbuilding effort...I'd love to see something like this in resin, but it would be a lot of work to master.

I don't have this issue of this kit, but love that shade of green on the 1:1 versions. My first build of this kit in the '80s was molded in red, which I painted black. I later got a couple of the reissues from maybe 10 years ago molded in gray. Neat kit.

Not 1:25th, but there are sweet '74 Le Sabres ( 2dr and wagon) available in 1:43rd currently from Neo Scale models in their American Excellence series.

I use an HDMI cable to connect my laptop to my 60 inch HDTV and watch content via Boxee, Hulu, Youtube, Netflix streaming, etc on the big screen. I have a DVR (tiVo) also, as well as the cable box, 2 DVD players (region 1 and multi-region), a Blu Ray player, and if I really want to kick it old school, a VCR. Lots of choices for entertainment media. Maybe too many.

Interesting, but not too practical being open like that.

Yes, you could probably take the stock Belvedere kit w/ some drag parts from the CMG Dodge kit and aftermarket decals..

Nice....didn't the ads for that show originally have a Chevelle?

Got mine a week or so back, arrived in fine shape.

Good stuff..I've bought a few of his bodies and parts, no complaints.

Well, Lindberg announced it first in 2009 as a 2010 release IIRC...and it didn't come out last year or this year, don't think it was shown at the recent iHobby expo, and no announcement about it since then, so people assume it's not going to happen. Lindberg seems to have stopped new development a while back. Just speculation on my part, maybe one of the insiders here can weigh in.
