I bought one several years ago from the notorious AF/X N Scale Resin. Don't know if anyone is doing one these days.

It's easier to make the Revell Daytona look nice..much nicer kit, IMHO. Rob

Yeah, the coverage isn't that great, but better than nothing. I just tiVo it and watch on the weekends, fast forwarding thru the commercials. I actually liked and followed NASCAR growing up from around 1980 to 1990, I lost interest and stopped following when the cars no longer resembled their production namesakes..

I've watched Speed TV quite a bit this year, for the F1, 24hr of Le Mans, and other road-course racing series. I avoid the NASCAR content.

I think my online vendors got them in stock today...my CC got dinged for 2 of em...woo hoo!

Can't wait until the next race..it's been a pretty interesting season so far.. Rob

...so we have a kit that came out originally over 15 years ago and just now people are making a big deal over a tiny detail that may be wrong? Amazing...

Wierd...the ones I have are all molded in gray. Has this been reissued in red?

Yeah, it's a release of a 40yr old Pyro kit. Pyros were slightly above Palmer, but were still pretty weak compared to the AMT, MPC, etc of the time.

Sounds like paranoid, tinfoil-hat right wing nonsense.

Got 3 old kits in the mail today from eBay. AMT '67 Falcon, '67 Cougar, '66 Riviera. The Riviera is in a '66 Polara conv. box. The Falcon and Cougar have the original boxes and instructions, all restorable. All have the original trim intact, and the chrome. The Falcon needs a bit of work (someone removed the B-pillars--thinking I can cut some from a '69 Nova body maybe) and one hubcap is missing. Anyone have a source for '67 Falcon hubcaps? The Modelhaus has '66 ones, but I don't have my '66 kit handy to compare and see if they are the same or not.

Cool...LOVE the wheels..going to have to hunt down a set of those

Cool...thanks. Looking at the catalog, I see you have mastered a '32 sedan delivery also. Don't recall seeing pics of one of those unbuilt or built up.

Ya, such it is. I'd love a new kit of a '69/70 Marauder or the '03-04 Marauder, but there is apparently a lot more demand for a custom '49 Mercury, hence the all new Revell kit a couple years ago. Go figure.

That looks pretty cool... I'll have to get a current catalog from R&M...I think the one I have is from 2002.

Sharp build of a nice kit. Speaking of Fujimi Ferrari GTOs, I've noticed they have a blue and yellow box art version also now. Anyone familiar with it and if it differs from the red box art version?

The Tamiya 350Z is a nice kit.... I picked up their new 370Z kit recently, looks to be very nice also.

Very cool... a '32 RPU would be a neat choice for Revell's next '32 Ford variation...

My 20th reunion last year is what got me on. I've caught up with a lot of people from high school, college, people I've worked with, friends, even my current boss (which is a little odd). Rob

Cool!

The MPC '70-74 kits have the non-shaker hood (the twin scoop hood). Overall, the MPC '70s are probably the best as far as body proportions and detailing. But, the AMT convertibles and the Revell coupe have easy availability and low price on their side, when compared to 35+ yr old kits.

Maybe move it to the Rants and Raves section. And Krow, turn off the ALL CAPS and take a chill pill. Relax.

And they are on Segways or driving Priuses.

Great buildup, Tim. Any word on the street date for this kit? Still due this month?

I haven't seen one in the Grabber Blue yet... I've only seen 6 so far... a silver V6 convertible, a black GT coupe, a bright red V6 convertible, a gorgeous dark blue GT coupe, a dark reg GT coupe, and a dark gray GT conv.. It's growing on me. Looking forward to driving one.
