I haven't watched it yet, been tiVoing the coverage...but I'm going Saturday.. Should be fun. I went last year, spent 7 hrs wandering around looking at all the cars.

Scale Equipment Ltd makes a nice set of Rally IIs with separate chromed trim rings. I've bought a few sets of them, they also sell them with out the trim rings which is good for Trans Ams and Judges. Reliable Resin makes Rally IIs also, I believe. http://www.seltd.net http://www.reliableresin.com/

Yes. That I don't know..the original one is definitely gray, I don't have the reissue, so I don't know. It probably is, though. Most AMT's this decade have been molded in gray..

Actually, IIRC, the original issue from the '90s (box art on the left) has a pic of a 1:1 Shelby on the box...the later issue (on the right) has a pic of a built kit. Many AMT kits in the mid '90s had real cars on the boxes, like the '67 Mustang, Explorers, etc.

I'm sure Lucius and his crew will whip up a new one... looking forward to the next chapter. I liked the Burton movies with Michael Keaton back in the day, but the Nolan films with Christian Bale are by far my favorite Batman presentation..

I like the Tumbler...it's too bad we haven't seen a kit of it. I never cared for the cartoonish design of the Burton era Batmobiles...

Same kit...just different issues...the left one is mid '90s, the right one is mid '00s..

Cool...never knew that kit existed. I have two E36 generation 3 series kits--the Dragon M3 (had to get that one, since it was similar to my 1:1) and the Tamiya 4dr (which was a Revell of Germany tool, IIRC).

That's very sharp... I'm thinking of doing something similar myself, using parts from the Revell '69 BM Camaro. I figure I'll have to make the hood myself using the '69 BM scoop, I have a resin '72 Nova L88 style hood for the AMT '72, but it won't fit the Revell '69.

Speaking of 428CJ Mustangs, there is an article in the new issue of Legendary Ford magazine with a sweet '68 428 CJ Wimbeldon White base Mustang fastback w/ funky dog dish hubcaps and steelies (never seen a Mustang with those). Pretty rare car. By the way, is the upcoming Revell '68 Mustang GT a 390 or 428? I don't have the diecast version, not familiar with it.

This past week I got 3 new releases--the Revell '64 Ford Fairlane 2n1, '68 Bullitt Mustang, '08 Mustang Bullitt. Also, some resin parts from a few casters (some hoods, wheels, Modelhaus chrome for '72 and '73 Dusters) and one old kit--an MPC '27 Lincoln 2dr convertible....I had the AMT issue of the MPC '28 Lincoln phaeton, didn't realize the 2dr version existed until I stumbled upon it cheap. I've dabbled in the classic cars for years, not my main focus though, I do like them. Not modeling related, but looking forward to Barrett-Jackson this week..probably going to go either Friday evening or next Saturday. It was great last year, will be interesting to see how it is this year.

I have to get around to building mine (stock version) eventually. I hope Fujimi eventually does the Skyline V36/Infiniti G37 coupe, preferably with LHD parts.

I have a couple of those in my stash.. never did get the Talledega version that AMT did. I've never sat down and compared this issue to the original AMT '69 Torino GT and Torino Cobra (coupe/conv) kits I have in my stash. So I wonder if the recent Modified Stocker kit was modified from this issue or a was a new body tool?

Looking sharp...love the color scheme and the wheels...that's one of my favorite eras of Porsches, and love to see a Turbo in something other than Guards Red, black or silver. I'm embarassed to admit, but I'm not sure if have this kit or not... I bought a bunch of Tamiya kits from around '96-02 that are in storage..

I'd love to see the Alfa 8C, Maserati Gran Turismo and Quattroporte tooled. Or how about some contemporary Audis, BMWs, and Mercedes...it's been a long time since anything new from any of those 3 marques (besides the R8 and R10) have been kitted... I'd love to have a 1:24th scale kit of current cars like the A5/S5, A8/S8, TT, M3, M5, M6 (or the regular 3-,5-,or 6-series), or the CLS, CLK Black Series, SL, S-class, etc...

Strange that they put a '71 on the box if the model is a '70.

Actually, he was asking what they are 'wroth', not 'worth'. What they are wroth may be completely different than what they are worth.

Hmmm..does it have the Cyclone grille (hidden headlights) or the Montego grille (eggcrate w/ exposed lights)? The chrome grille and the one in the illustration (red car) don't match.

I assume Revell will announce a kit of this sooner or later.. looks sharp. 2010 Shelby GT500

Sharp build...I have a couple '69s in my stash, a built restorable MPC '69 ht, and an unbuilt, MIB MPC '69 convertible.

I have an extra AMT (ex-MPC) '82 Bronco reissue and a '92 AMT F150, thought about kitbashing the two. Someone posted one recently on one of the forums where they took the Monogram '80 and kitbashed with an R-M '88 F250 to do that era in 1:24th (the flat front '87-91). I looked at buying a '96 Bronco about 10 years ago...had an '88 Bronco II then. Ended up keeping the Bronco II until '00 and traded it on an '00 Grand Cherokee.

Well, a 48 would be something you could knock off in a weekend, a 96 in two weekends. Alas, I haven't built that fast since I was a teenager.

Maybe Chrysler is giving them away to press, etc at auto shows or other events.

That house looks very similar to my buddy Kirk's house in Beaverton. I was there when there was a really nasty ice storm in December a few years ago.

The AMT curbsides look like snap kits, should be decent though simplified..but what's up w/ the tires in the pic--it looks like partial axles on the wheel backs that stick into the chassis? Haven't looked closely at that aspect of my promo, but I would assume it has metal axles..
