  1. There was a '62 convertible also. AMT made a kit.
  2. And IIRC, Also, I think some of these kits were subsequently released in stock-only form with none of the old custom 2n1 parts included.
  3. IIRC, the wheels looked good in pics on some of those kits, but the tires were more like motorcycle or bicycle width tires...
  4. Yes...there were stock releases after that one.
  5. Since the listing said 1/24th, I'd assume it is the more modern Italeri kit than the AMT kit.
  6. I've got a grainy video from one of my Ring cameras from the other evening...around 11pm had about a dozen deer strolling around my driveway and front yard, harvesting oak nuts from my giant oak tree...
  7. Had a couple inches of snow overnight, cold out (16F)...still snowing, lightly. I think the heavy lake effect snow will bypass me. Though I'm about 10 miles due south of Lake Erie, the heavy lake effect stuff tends to hit areas to the NE of me...
  8. Width could be an issue..I know the '66 Nova Pro Street chassis won't fit under a Camaro without a lot of cutting (the Chevy IIs/Novas are pretty flat sided while the Camaro has a lot of curvature). It will be fun to compare the Moebius Chevy II w/ the AMT '62s and '63s and 66s, and the Trumpeter '63s I have stashed away somewhere....see if there is parts swapping potential.
  9. I pre-ordered one of each. May want to order a couple more later. I'm wondering if the gasser parts could be tweaked to fit under an AMT or Revell '67 Camaro...maybe do something like the old AMT annual box art kit.
  10. Been a while since the Nomad has been out..figured it would get the Retro Deluxe treatment sooner or later.
  11. Last HLJ shipment of ‘21 came yesterday.
  12. I'm talking about the top of the box...odd to see the car shown w/o the decals.
  13. That does look really cool...I haven't built anything Star Trek since the 80s.
  14. I've alternated between contracting and full-time positions over most of my career in software development over the last 20+ years. Done contracts lasting from 3 months to 6 1/2 years, been an employee at my current position almost 1 year. There is never a shortage of work in my field, always plenty of good paying gigs and plenty of them now remote (which I like, worked out of my house for over 4 1/2 years). I still enjoy it...
  15. Looking good..I could see using that gray w/ a maroon for a two tone.
  16. I figured it was old...way before my time.
  17. That's like 50s slang..
  18. Odd they don't show it with the decals applied. The '64 ht kit illustration looks great, though.
  19. Yeah, definitely not talking like a Millennial...'rad' and 'cool' are from my Gen-X youth. Maybe he should be using 'groovy' or other '60s-70s slang to appeal to the typical 65+ Round 2 customer, I guess...;) Most of these future releases posted really appeal to me, about the only January Round 2 release I'm casually interested in is the Surf Shark Caddy. I could see getting the Californian, maybe as a basis for a custom Toro (I don't care for the provided custom parts).
  20. Who knows..would be interesting, and there is precedent--Revell has done a '66 Chevelle wagon and a '57 Ford wagon in the 20 years. But that was a different time and different Revell..who knows what today's Revell will do.
  21. Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if a stock '65 2dr sedan and stock '65 2dr ht are in the works, among other variations...
  22. Neat site. Lots of ideas for Chevy IIs, Chevelles, etc there. Surprised by all the 4dr Chevy II drag race cars.
  23. I noticed that. Sounds like it is the bus version of T3 (Vanagon)…they reissued the camper version last year, but I don’t think the bus or van versions have been out since the 90s..I remember the Magnum P.I. version in the 80s, and there was the panel van and UN ambulance in the 90s.
  24. Been a mild winter so far here outside Cleveland, only a couple dustings of snow so far..supposed to get some on Thursday. I really don't mind a big snow or two during the winter, preferable to the polar vortex cold. I keep telling myself only moe 8 weeks until March...
  25. I think it would be the Fujimi one, since Revell has reboxed Fujimi Ford GT40s...
