    I saw the box art pic for the upcoming reissue on the FB, it says it has a turbo V6...I assume that means the Syclone engine parts...I don't have the original issue S10 kit, did it have that also ?

    Ok. Anyway, since the 70 kit tooling was derived from the ‘68-69, the convertible style tub was continued. 50 years ago, accuracy wasn’t as much of a concern to the model companies as it is/should be today..

    There was a convertible promo, I think.
  4. Rob Hall
    Yes, real. An AMT rebox of the Johan kit. From the early 70s.

    Most annual kits from the 60s that had both a hardtop and a convertible version have convertible interiors in the hardtop. There are many examples. This resin interior tub was no doubt mastered from a kit part.

    Didn’t he used to be a regular on these forums? George53 or something like that?

    Definitely would require a lot of cutting. Some size comparisons:

    At first glance they appeared round and black. I'll have to check again. Edit: pics of the tars. The front ones are narrow generic tires

    I watched this movie last year and googled it then, it was a Mistral kit car body on an Austin-Healey chassis. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.hemmings.com/stories/2010/11/03/spinout-slipup-what-car-stood-in-for-the-wet-cobra/amp

    In the US, that would easily be $5k worth of damage. This was over $5k on my sister’s Trax a couple years ago.

    The Taurus was a largish US specific model, there wasn't a UK version. It was larger than the Fusion/Mondeo. The US had the Focus (1st and 3rd gen), and the US Fusion which was a sedan version of the 4th gen Mondeo.

    I'd love to see more modern subjects like the Hellcat Challenger and Charger kitted, along w/ the C8, some current Cadillacs and the current Mustang. Definitely would like to see a current Grand Cherokee (maybe the Trackhawk w/ Hellcat engine), Wrangler and Gladiator kitted also. Alas, the domestic kit makers seem find their most sales with reissues of subjects from the 60s-70s that appeal to the older audience.

    Got my Grumpys Toy Vegas from Midel Roundup today.
  14. Rob Hall
    Got em today.
  15. Rob Hall
    Waiting on mine from Model Roundup. Was supposed to be here yesterday, but the package got delayed in the USPS...

    The Grand Ville roofline looks very similar to the 98. I’m interested in the 98, will they eventually available from Air-Trax?

    So sorry for your loss, John. I'm a long time dog person, but have had cats (Siamese) in my life in the past. We bond deeply with our furry friends and losing one is never easy. I've lost two senior dogs in the last 14 months, and have two others that are age 12 and 13... your new kitten looks like a sweetie...

    The convertible is my favorite body style of that generation.

    I wasn't born until 1970 (when my parents had a '69 Mercury Marquis 4dr ht, '69 Mustang, and a '67 Cougar), but I've heard the story about when my parents bought a new '58 Mercury Monterey 4dr. It fit in their garage, but a couple weeks after they bought it, my Mom had come home, unpacked groceries, then got into it to go out again..she backed out of the garage with the right rear door open...smash into the garage door frame. They kept it a few years then traded it on a '61 Country Squire wagon.

    Yeah, and looking at the RS body I see an issue w/ the headlight buckets...there is a shape difference from right to left. The parking lights are smooth clear pieces. Another change seen on the chrome tree is that they threw I a set of those generic 5 spoke mags they have put in several kits in recent years. And also the white letter Goodyear Polyglas GT tires

    Got mine yesterday, took a couple pics of the new parts and to show the differences from the previous RS front body.

    I do like how Amazon sometimes sends an email with a photo of the package after they drop it off (same with DoorDash deliveries). But I've always got my camera footage to check on my phone.

    Got a few goodies in the mail today. The AMT '70 1/2 Camaro Z/28 full bumper version, a Motor City Resin '63 Dodge Polara resin kit, and an MCW '68 Chevy Biscayne w/ 6 cyl resin kit.
  24. Rob Hall
    Very cool...there are a few different versions that had available at one time IIRC.

    Had a weird delivery with the post office last week. Got an email that a package had been delivered at my front door, but nothing was there and nothing was seen on my cameras (front driveway and 2 front door cameras). So I called the post office and spoke w/ someone. Maybe 15 min later, the package was delivered. Strange...
