I believe that is actually who it's supposed to be- what it had to do with the car or kit? No idea on that... Other than the weird box art, this is the same as the oft-reissued '65 Connie kit most of us are familiar with.

I like where you're going with this... Where did you get the F1 rain tires- kit-based or aftermarket?

The trim is correct and present on the actual longbox kit, which is why I wonder why they added it to the box art model (seeing as how that's the model they used for the '90's-era kit reissue, anyway). Maybe whoever built the box art truck did not foil it, sanded it off, or buried it under paint. It's painfully 'photoshopped' after the fact on the box art.

Man... I think I'd rather seriously maim somebody to get my hands on that kit! Love those old AMT Styline kits.

That's how they get you. They never said it would be the ACTUAL model contained in the box... only that it's a retouched photo of an actual model. Of some sort! And it's badly retouched at that- you can tell the side trim was just kind of tossed on during the photo editing phase.

This one? If you want the one actually shown on the box, that's the old SMP/AMT annual kit. I've heard the one on the box is actually a resin repop of same... why they didn't just use the actual kit inside for its own box art is beyond me.

MCW still sells it- $6.50 for the 1oz. container. Though you'd still need an airbrush for that, might be the best course of action for those of us who aren't the best at mixing our own colors.

Even if Tom casts one, you could always master a chopped Olds fastback body as an alternative. Just sayin'...

I bought a couple of each. The decal sheets are pretty nice, and they were ten bucks apiece on clearance at a local shop.

Moshi moshi, tailpipe desu.

Zorak needs some pants. Seriously though, very nicely done!

Easy... the aformentioned disclaimer on the box.

Also, if you look closely, that one appears to have the '68 Roadrunner chassis under it, and what appear to be some scratchbuilt underhood details (like a hood latch plate, IIRC) which, like the KH wheels, are nowhere to be found inside the box.

No- unfortunately that got crushed by a box falling off a shelf above my workbench when it was about 98% done. I'm planning on using what's left of it on another one, just not sure when.

Nice, smooth, glossy finish every time, even if you use lousy paint and an even lousier brush. Just paint the inside of the body.

Was just the body and glass broken in the fall? In any case, I'll keep my eyes open for '60 DeSoto stuff next time I'm at the shop. I feel for you- I had a '66 Olds 442 suffer the exact same fate last year. Much easier to find kit than the DeSoto, but the fact I had it almost done made it really suck. Still, I feel worse about seeing it happen to a kit like this than a boring old reissued kit one can find anywhere.

I don't like it. I love it. Really want to get my hands on one of these kits one of these days.

No idea yet. And since the IH hood would require quite a bit of work to fit (forget the Chrysler hood altogether at this point...), I haven't even bothered with it. This one's going to have an exposed powerplant.

Silly Mark, that's not his father's Oldsmobile! Love how this one looks.

Yes, indeed! Bob- http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69484#entry858805

Well, I've already lost interest in the Chevelle (not saying it won't make a comeback later), but I did get this '66 Falcon a while back. I'm thinking with an AMT '67 Mustang front clip and the remainder of the underbody from a '66 Pro Street Nova, I might be onto something. Thoughts?

I believe so. Moebius posted it on their Facebook page a few days ago. I don't think they'll change it much, response to it seemed positive overall, though that might have more to do with what's in the box rather than the box itself.

Yes, 'tis! I forgot to metion- unlike many resin cast parts of this kind, there are actually locator tabs on the diff pig with corresponding slots on the axle housing... no chance of misaligning it or gluing it on upside-down. Very nice touch indeed.

Just got this a couple of days ago, and I absolutely love it. This is part #R-9IN-1K, consisting of the third member, differential 'pig', brake calipers in resin, and rubber-backed PE for the caliper brackets and rotor faces. The resin parts are perfectly cast, and that metal axle core you see is molded in place- you can trim it as needed to suit your project. This is the first item of Scott's I've gotten my hands on, and I have every intention of getting more. http://futurattraction.com/index.html

Would I be interested? Does the sun rise in the East? Yes, please!
