I used the hubcaps from the Revell '70 Road Runner on mine and the steelies from it (though they are slotted like later cop car wheels).

That's cool...what is the kit you started with for the cab?

Those were race cars, though...no street GT2 kits that I know of..

Really...I know Tamiya did a late '90s GT3..haven't seen a GT2 kitted. I'd like to see and of the current 997 generation 911s kitted... I'd love to see some current BMWs (M3, M5, M6, 545, etc), Mercs (CLS, SL, S-class, etc), Audis (TT, RS6, S5, etc) kitted... from Japan, I'd love to see the new G37, GT-R, and Prius kitted.. As far as the domestics, at the top of my list would be the '08 CTS (I love the new Caddy, may buy one for next daily driver), followed by the new G8 and the new Bullitt Mustang....I'd also love to see a current Crown Vic, and the '03-04 Marauder kitted, and a current Grand Cherokee (esp. the SRT8). As far as the oldies go, I'd love to see some subjects that were never kitted before, like a '68-69 Mercury Cyclone, a '69-70 Mercury Marauder, a '70 Plymouth Sport Fury GT, a '67 Pontiac 2+2, '71 Caddy Coupe de Ville, '71 Buick Centurion convertible, '73 Chevelle SS, '73 Buick Gran Sport, '73 Grand Am, '85-86 Mustang GT, '87 Grand Prix 2+2, etc..

I noticed the Dragin Plastics auctions... but then noticed they weren't using PayPal, so I lost any interest (I don't do money orders if I can avoid them). I do remember buying a few things from them off ebay earlier this year under the name tangtang2 or similar.

Good looking kit...I have an unbuilt Testors/Italeri 944 Turbo that I got about 20 years ago...anyone know if the RoG kit is a RoG original or the Italeri tool?

I'm looking forward to both of those..have them on order from HLJ... maybe Fujimi will do an IS-F...I'd like to see a current GS also..

I'll have to try and make it next year...I went a few years ago and enjoyed it..and if one opp'ty works out, I'll be working in the SF Bay Area come January..

Is the 'Mack RS688 Conventional' the Mack that was reissued in the last 5 years or so?

Cool...I used to live in the Springs..'97-02. I haven't seen any around my area (Greenwood Village/DTC). I think Motormax is doing an Omni GLH and a Horizon... a buddy of mine in college had a GLH...fast little ride...(I had an Escort which was a about the same size, but it had a 52 hp diesel).

Wow...I haven't seen an Omni or Horizon in years..didn't realize there were many still on the road..

Maybe he thinks we can see beyond the Horizon..

I'd like to see one of those also...haven't seen one from any of the usual casters...a plain '70 hood would be nice also.

Beautiful build...love the color.

Apparently they make a '69 Merc Marauder..there's a pic of it on the SHMB..it doesn't look too rough, but that's from one pic..

I ordered mine from my usual online source, Evers Toy Store...www.everstoystore.com. $15 + shipping. Model Express has it for pre-order currently also.

Interesting..do you have any side profile or rear view pics?

I saw it mentioned in the usual places (various forums, vendor sites) several months ago....if they are doing a Boss 302 and a Mach 1 from the same kit, I would assume there will be 2 grilles, the Mach 1 side trim will be separate parts, the Mach 1 taillight panel separate, 2 sets of decals, 2 engines, etc...

This is the kit I'm looking forward to the most...and I'm glad to hear they are doing it as a 351 version. I've got a rough AMT '70 in my stash to restore.. I'd love to see Revell eventually go back and correct the front end on their '69 Mach 1 and do more '69s--a Boss 429 and Boss 302 would be great.

I'd like to see a plastic kit version from it, preferably without the t-tops. Given how many of Revell's diecast kits have been converted to plastic kits lately, it could happen..the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon would be nice also.

I'm looking forward to all of those, esp. the Mach 1...the 32 Ford, Nova, and 55 Bel Air ht look pretty sweet also.

The R8 will definitely be nice, it was already announced as a RoG issue...I assume this will be a rebox in Revell NA packaging..

Looks like some interesting new stuff from Revell coming.. I'm esp. interested in the Shelby Mustangs.

I would assume AMT did the fenders separately so the body could be shared with the Ventura II kit.. Yes, the new Nova kit is definitely a welcome addition.

Nice to hear about the Nova..should go well with their '69 Camaros and '68 Firebird. Any word on other new for '08 issues? I'd love to see the new Challenger kitted. For muscle cars, I'd love to see them do a '70 GTO Judge or a '68 Dodge Super Bee...
