Five stars for Missing Link Resins!
Rob Hall replied to Mr. Moparman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
They make great stuff...I especially love their Dodge and Plymouth dog dish hubcaps..bought a bunch of those. I've bought a few of their conversion kits, starting w/ the '65 GTO about 5 years ago.. -
WHAT ON EARTH? Chevy gasser locked thread
Rob Hall replied to sjordan2's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Interesting..I thought maybe the "It's all good now" in the last message triggered an automatic locking. -
What I've read is that the next generation versions of Chrysler's compact (Caliber), subcompact (new entry possibly named the Hornet), and midsize models (Avenger, 200) will be based on Fiat/Alfa platforms but with unique-to-Chrysler bodies and interiors...the Caliber replacement is based on the Alfa Guiletta, for example, but will be wider and longer. Jeep will be getting a small Fiat based CUV to replace the Patriot and Compass....

Pro Star and 53 ft Great Dane reefer
Rob Hall replied to Dave Metzner's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
As an aside, I don't know if Moebius or anyone else plans to make new-tool vintage truck kits, but as far as Internationals go, I'd love to see a '60s-70s Loadstar...like in a stake bed or dump truck configuration. -
Oh my God! 2012 will be the year that I´m gonna run out of money!
Rob Hall replied to Drago's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Sweet...that one is a must have. -
How Do You Display Your Completed Models?
Rob Hall replied to Swifster's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Display case w/ glass doors and glass shelves. -
Cool...wonder if Chevy will up the power on the '13 Camaro ZL1 to compete. I think a 400+ hp GT would be adequate for a daily driver, though my ~300hp Caddy and sub-200hp Jeep are fine for daily drivers... As far as IRS vs solid axle, I would rather see the Mustang offered w/ an IRS, though it seems w/ the GT and Boss 302 Ford has been able to make it handle quite well even with the limitations of a solid rear axle. I have to laugh when people try and argue that Mustang buyers prefer the old school rear axle...what about the Camaro and Challenger? I haven't heard any complaints about them having IRS... a modern RWD performance car should have IRS...it's not 1970.

Got mine today. Looks good at first glance. -
Revell AG To Release A 1939 Opel Admiral
Rob Hall replied to Junkman's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I've never built anything in 1:35th, but something like this would be fun because it's so different...would have to get a few 1:35ths to group 'em together. I've built mostly 1:24th-1:25th but have certainly dabbled in other scales when I've found the subject matter appealing (like 1:20th scale F1 cars)... -
Neat...speaking of Tonka Ts, stashed away somewhere, I have 3 from my childhood..about 1:16th scale maybe...a roadster, delivery van, and 3rd bodystyle...made in the mid '70s.

Revell AG To Release A 1939 Opel Admiral
Rob Hall replied to Junkman's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Looks like an interesting subject..too bad about the odd scale. -
Bench Rage! Have you ever lost it?
Rob Hall replied to Chillyb1's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I had a 'Hulk angry, Hulk smash' moment once when I embedded an exacto knife deep in my thumb while working on a Revell '59 Ford... -
1999 Ford SVT Lightning
Rob Hall replied to camaro73's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Looking good..that's a nice kit, Revell did a good job on those late '90s Ford trucks. -
The HID headlights are an option package..not specific to the GT. They had them in '10 as an option also.
-
Well, there are two different headlight types available...the ones with the turn signals outboard are the optional bi-xenons, IIRC.
-
Yes..that's the big piece needed....I hope Revell tools up an '11-12 GT or Boss 302 eventually, but at their release pace it probably won't be for a couple years..

Interesting..the box looks like an old Jo-Han box as far as the shape.. -
1/25 AMT '76 Gremlin X 2n1 coming from Round 2
Rob Hall replied to SteveG's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I'm surprised Round2 didn't reissue it last year when the movie was out..
