  1. Yes, a full detail 6th gen would be great. So many variations would be possible.
  2. That would make no sense, the '70 Torino had a longer wheelbase and was wider, and not to mention the '72-76 Torino was BOF, not a unibody.
  3. Amazon says Sept 27-Oct 30 for mine. In my experience, they usually beat the estimated dates. I’ve been a customer of Amazon for over 20 years, they rarely disappoint.
  4. I like the idea of the El Camino wheels for the S10. I had forgotten this kit is 1/25th, was thinking it was 1/24th. I’ve never had the stock one, built the Syclone kit back in the day, and picked up an unbuilt Waverider custom a while back...(I like the custom grille and hood).
  5. Yeah, one would think the small ones would be useful in tightly packed neighborhoods. There are some neat LS-swapped ones out there...googling turned up pics of a couple hot rod mail trucks.
  6. I've seen those Grumman postal trucks everywhere I've lived the last 25+ years...SE Michigan, Colorado, Arizona, NE Ohio... been in use for decades, they tend to catch fire I've read. Greenlight does some diecast ones in 1/64th, not sure if they have any larger scale ones. What do they use in NYC?
  7. I stream it on Amazon Prime.
  8. The box art illustration for the '66 seems to sit so low as to be indistinguishable from the 2wd version. Googling '66 Ford F100 4x4 turns up images of ones that sit higher, some modified certainly.
  9. Yeah, good show..quite the cliffhanger in that last episode. I suspect all the major characters survived, but with injuries.
  10. Interesting custom bodykit also..never seen one like that.
  11. Sharp..like the color.
  12. I got the October issue of SA yesterday, the final issue...it's a good one. Looks like the 2020 Contest Cars issue isn't too far off, my pre-order got charged on the 25th.
  13. Never seen one of those Alfas, but I do have the Matchbox version.
  14. I have a few of them in my stash, mostly 911s and Ferraris...would like to see some of the 356s reissued..
  15. 200SX in North America, Silvia in Japan. 75-79.
  16. The Model Roundup listing says molded in green. The last issue of the '65 (2013) was molded in white..
  17. I assume it's going to be green because the original JGG kit was molded in green..
  18. Cool. Love those 70s bigs
  19. Yes, Lincoln Mark IV, specifically a '72 because of the small bumpers that fit tight at the corners. ''73 went to a big federal bumper up front, added a rub strip to the rear bumper, and '74-76 had big bumpers in the rear also.
  20. Got an email from Model Roundup today that said they would ship in week to 10 days from now.
  21. Very nice. Speaking of Howmet, I was driving last evening near downtown Cleveland and spotted a warehouse signed as 'Howmet Aerospace'...related, company, I think...
  22. Scalemates has a lot of inaccuracies---human error...remember, it's content is user-generated, not professionally curated.
  23. Interesting...I remember a 1:1 car wax/polish called The Treatment...my Dad and Mom used it on their cars in the 80s. Orange bottle.
  24. Sharp...looks like a diecast w/ those door openings? White Box makes a 1/24th diecast.
  25. Oddly none of those have ever been reissued AFAIK. I think the ‘65 GTO was the only one I had.
