Now see, it’s weird that it’s a curbside, yet the body is multi piece like you have shown.

Ah well, as long as it’s on par with the Aoshima kits then I won’t mind. Though I do wonder what their thought process was for doing it this time around.

That’s quite alright!

You know, I’m not sure now about whether the hood opens. I found some “test” pics and it looks like the oil pan is attached to the chassis. https://toylandhobbymodelingmagazinepublishing.wordpress.com/2017/12/09/jeep-wrangler-rubicon-2-door-10th-anniversary-ed-test/

I would love to see Revell make a 1/12 Cuda based on their recent 1970 kit. We need a Mopar in 1/12 scale! As for small kits, one would be a new F150 Sport with the 3.5 Ecoboost. Another would be a newer Ram 2500 or 3500 with the Cummins. Basically, any newer pickups would be welcome to have.

I wonder could they have offered them as chrome for a limited time, then just quietly changed to unchromed parts, or vice versa?

Now see, that's weird, because the Pink Poison instructions don't call them out as chrome parts. Plus, when I built the Pink Poison version, I recall having to paint the bumpers and grille, and this was back when I kept the kit parts chromed when they came that way.

My favorite line on some of the instructions is about having extra parts and that you can save them or throw them away!

Should be a cool build! Gonna do it in that lime green that you see it in a lot?

Yeah it seems like some of the older subjects are poorly modeled, likely their earlier attempts, and the newer subjects seem much closer to the real thing.

I'm planning on two kits, plus possibly a trailer if I have time. The first is a 1991 Bronco Centurion C350 4WD, with the 460 big-block and auto-trans and the Nite decal package. The second is a 1991 F150 Reg. Cab long bed 2WD with a small block and manual trans decked out as a lowered sport truck. It will of course have some neon colors to stand out in a crowd!

Nice! Very 90's! Don't forget the aluminum briefcase and car phone!

Since it's almost the middle of the month, I am opening this up to entries! Please let me know what you would like to build. Remember, you may do more than one if you would like!

It's also meant to depict an export model, hence the rear bumper with cutouts for the rear foglight/reverse light.

Oh, and I will say that if you would like to build more than one kit, go right on ahead! I have so many to choose from, I may go for a pair.

Ah okay, that makes sense then.

Expanding on my love for the era, probably around 80% of my kits waiting to be built in the 1/24 and 1/25 scales are from this time period. I admire older vehicles, and like the late 60's muscle cars like the next guy, but there's just something about styling from the time that I love. The straight, yet slightly rounded styling, the crazy wheels that aren't massively tall, the boxy fenders, the wild graphics, the "Euro" styling trend of body-color bumpers, and the bright neon colors all come together in one mishmash of awesomeness!

I'm sure that will be super pricey, but dang that looks nice! I love the detail they put in along with all the features (opening doors, steering, suspension, etc.)! It's too bad Tamiya wasn't this detailed when they released their Mini Cooper.

Good to hear so far!

Yeah I like a lot of the subjects they did and would love them in a larger scale, but the Lindberg kits just look a bit toylike from what I've seen on Google.

I frequent the blog site Jalopnik quite often and have seen posts on a new car show they host called Radwood. The basic idea is a car show that showcases automobiles from the 80's and 90's as well as the clothing and memorable items from that era. Perhaps it's because I grew up in the 90's that I love the idea of this show so much and would love to have a CBP version of it. The basics: -Vehicle must be from the 80's/90's. Exceptions are vehicles built before/past this time period but are the same vehicle (e.g. 2001 Mustang and 1999 Mustang, or 1979 Mustang and 1980 Mustang) or vehicles built in the style of the time period (e.g. Cal-look VW, Boyd-style Hot Rod) -Any type of vehicle is welcome. -No limit to amount of customization, just limit to styling (if custom) that depicts the era. Build time would be from January 1st, 2018 through Dec 31st, 2018. Please post if you're interested and what you'll be building! I will update the first post with this information. Builder list: Jordan White - 1991 Ford Bronco Centurion iamsuperdan - 1990s Mercedes-Benz AMG 500SL 6.0 jaymcminn - Callaway Corvette Speedster dodgelover - PT Cruiser Pro Street Cpt Tuttle - Lotus Esprit TimJ - Porsche 911 Carrera Cabrio Jhedir6 - 1995 Honda Civic WickedRidez - 1995 Toyota Pickup Addition: You may certainly make a separate build thread elsewhere in the forum, please just add at least a post with any updates here as well so we can see them come together in one spot!

There's at least 3 versions of the 1st gen that I can find with a Google search: 3n1 kit, Baja Racer, and Syclone.

Since I for some reason can't reply in the poll thread, it's saying "this field is required" for the section that I didn't cast a vote in, though I noticed that there are other votes being counted.

That thing looks like it would be made of wood and sold at a flea market next to the yard art.
