    I remember this build Tim. Such a clean and straightforward build. The overall look is stunning, but those rare wheels and tires really set it off
  2. Mr. Metallic
    I've never seen this kit in person. I'm sure the tires are different from the regular cobra road car kit, but what about the wheels? Are they a deeper/bigger rears?
  3. Mr. Metallic
    I have a set of those front wheels too. I think this is the first finished model i have seen them on. Good to know they finish out nicely. Nice build

    I wish Testors would reformulate those old colors an bring them into their lacquer line. Maybe even "copy" some of those AMT and Pactra paints too? It's been a looong time since Testors has added anything to the lacquer lines Cash in on nostalgia like Round2 does. Now is the time!

    Should also be mentioned, it does fit the former MPC 53 flip nose pickup as well. You'll have to trim the front of the side panels a little to fit, but otherwise fits it nicely.

    Sweet looking Bronco. I like the color combo. Nice job finishing out the Olsen conversion parts too.

    +2. I have a few Scout builds that could use some well done detail parts

    You're a wild man Kerry. i love it i expect to see it in primer at KKIM

    Been trying to keep my eyes open for one of these 30 resin cabs for awhile now. Seeing your builtup makes me want one even more. Nicely done as always Tim

    I think they have the ability to add and delete spots as new product comes. If they created a bunch of slots only twice a year they could potentially be sitting with holes in their wall for extended periods. Not saying they don't do the reset twice a year, because i know they do it. But I think that is more about doing a refresh so that stores all have their displays relatively the same. For example, I started looking at my store for the AMT 60 Chevy pickup as soon as it hit distributors, no spot carved out on the wall. And then one day the kit was on the shelves in a spot with a sticker.

    Somehow I missed you sharing this one here Tim. I remember this build from a few years ago. The color combo is my favorite part, but you hit so many great styling beats with this one, it's just so cool.
  12. Mr. Metallic
    I dig this concept. Have fun with it. I think you will find that stuff in the model railroad area of shops.

    And that's why I said "many of you", not specifically calling anyone out.

    You can skip over parts you don't want to see. At least i could. Just hover your mouse over the progress bar at the bottom and it shows a frame from the video at that point. When you see a point at which you want to view it, click it and it advances to that spot.

    In regards to the wheel part pack, I think many of you are missing what's going on here. These aren't newly tooled specifically for this pats pack. This is a combination of wheels they have recently tooled for specific kits over the last few years. This is not to say this is a bad thing, I'm actually happy Round2 is doing this. It makes financial sense as an opportunity for a further Return On Investment that they made by tooling them up in the first place. If this keeps the Parts Pack ball rolling, I'm all for it! Because on the whole, in my opinion, the releases in the new Part Packs have been really good.

    Thanks Chris. I'll update my post as info comes in
  17. Mr. Metallic
    Didn't know that wheel set was coming. Cool! So, looks to me like its a sampling of wheel sets they've tooled up for various kits. 1) chrome reverse from the 36 Ford 2) chrome wheels with cone center caps from the 29 Ford roadster/34 Ford pickup 3) custom wheelcovers from the 53 Ford pickup 4) 5 spoke Halibrand wheels (possibly from 63 Avanti)
  18. Mr. Metallic
    I agree wholeheartedly. This 49er dragster is definitely 1/25. I think the confusion comes because most(if not all) the other kits in that series were 1/32. I hope Atlantis got the molds, because this is right up their alley. I have a gluebomb I'm restoring/upgrading, but would love to have a couple in virgin plastic.
  19. Mr. Metallic
    If you have solid reference, maybe one of the 3D printing guys could make something?
  20. Mr. Metallic
    No way. A rare "gotta-have-it" for me.
  21. Mr. Metallic
    Very cool. I think my favorite part is the exhaust. great kitbashing there
  22. Mr. Metallic
    MCG did a multimedia set for it. Contained nice photoetch, and I believe a resin cooler for the rear fender? I still have it floating around here somewhere
  23. Mr. Metallic
    Unique take. Lots of fab going on here. I'll be following
  24. Mr. Metallic
    Cool build as always Tim.
  25. Mr. Metallic
    Still looking good after all these years. Even though some of the stylistic choices may have fallen out of style, builds like this from that era that show good construction and cohesive style choices do stand up. I have now added that issue of Street Rodder to my focused search on eBay. i didn't know it existed. thanks for sharing
