  1. It's not a bad kit, however I wish Revell would have added a bit more detail to complement the larger scale. Like most of Revell's kits though, it does go together quite well.
  2. Lovin it! Great idea and execution! Seems like there wouldn't be much headroom in that living area though.
  3. I'm guessing he got the 2010ish GT500 kit.
  4. I would hope that if this subject were ever to be re-released, that they would do a new tool of the chassis/drivetrain so that it's not the lame hunk-o-junk chassis with everything molded in.
  5. That's the advantage of having a bunch of kits; if you get frustrated on one build, you can work on another and come back to the first build later.
  6. Would that be if Dodge decides not to pull out of NASCAR afterall?
  7. Scale model supplies 458 Lexington Pkwy. St. Paul, MN 55104-4609 This place has everything, it's a 45 minute drive for me but it's well worth it. Here's the plastic car/truck aisle alone!
  8. Wonder who the person was who suggested the idea of two piece vinyl (rubber?) tires? Since I haven't seen them in many kits, I wonder if that person got demoted?
  9. I guess it wasn't explicitly stated that we couldn't, I think I just remembered your post from the locked emodelcars thread.
  10. So why is it not okay then to say what is for sale at emodelcars?
  11. He said he'll be getting them tomorrow, so I'm guessing the earliest for pics would be tomorrow.
  12. He's using the Revell of Germany 1/16 VW Beetle, I think they just rereleased it so it's easy to find.
  13. I wish they would stop using the two piece wheels and just go to a one piece design, similar to how Japanese companies such as Tamiya do it. That way you can use any extra wheels with another set of tires, without having to worry about finding a set of wheel backs that fit properly. Plus, with the space saved on the parts trees, brakes could then be molded instead.
  14. Are you planning on using the stock kit wheels for something else, or would be willing to part with them?
  15. Any updates on this build?
  16. How well is this kit going together so far? I'm planning to get one to build a replica of my friend's '52 and am hoping that it goes together as well as the Tamiya Beetle.
  17. The worst kits are any where exterior body parts must be installed with no tabs, especially body color parts that must be installed after the interior tub.
  18. Seems like it would be better if Revell would produce the tires with sidewall lettering. Sure the aftermarket could pick it up, but no offense to resin casters, the time to create the parts is quite long. Most don't do it full time, so lead times are painstakingly long. A company like Revell could pop out hundreds of thousands of tires relatively quickly, and could sell them separately and make back the money for the licensing (assuming they sell them for a realistic price that people would want to pay). I know that I would love to have several sets of the Goodyear Gatorbacks alone, along with the Goodyear Tracker A-Ts and Radial GTs.
  19. Yeah I love the look of the red 454SS, there's one for sale at an old-car dealer nearby but they want 20 grand!
  20. After doing some research, I retract what I said about the Syclone. I keep forgetting that they only sold the truck for 1991, and all of them were black except for 10 that were painted red for a partnership with Marlboro. There were 3 produced in 1992, two were white/gray and one black, however they weren't sold to the public. The Typhoon on the other hand was offered in multiple colors besides black. Edit: Personally I don't think GM wussed out by offering other colors. Sure black looks cool on them, but IMO it's pretty lame having your vehicle look like everyone else's. The dark red and gray-green they offered on the Impala look cool, and the SS 454 looks awesome in red.
  21. For the first year of the Syclone (1991), SS 454 pickup (1990), and Impala SS (1994), black was the only color offered. The rest of the years for each offered other colors. Brodie: They did offer it in bright red and white, in addition to the black. I have a build on my bench that will be red with a gray interior.
  22. As far as I know, all GNs were only available in black. I suppose however that perhaps someone who worked for GM had the car special ordered in maroon. It could have been painted also, since they were sold for a few years and someone maybe wanted to stand out from the other GN owners. Not that I can see.
  23. Rob is correct, the decals are for the interior to replicate the center gray/silver section on the seats as well as on the door panels.
