  1. My 1998 W98 PC still runs fine. I use it to run CorelDraw 8 which I need for ALPS and an engraver. There are a few free graphics pgms out there '............google 'free vector pgm'.
  2. I guess it depends on the 'one and done' definition. It is a single run of this kit as it is. There are a number of options built into every Moebius tool. Dave 'Model King' has made a lot of cool stuff available over the years and takes a big risk on each.
  3. It ain't a $18K car....to me. I've seen much more desirable cars sell for less.
  4. Can't find a photo......Dark Angel had smart car police cars....same body as Revell tooling.
  5. My nearest hobby shop sold 6 in two days and ordered more. I doubt MK will give out exact numbers. I will say if you want one, get it. It will be a one and done.
  6. 1/25 scale at least as good as full detail 66 Batmobile we have.....yes.
  7. Ditto Black Beauty.....thought we'd have it by now!!!!!
  8. Very nice work!!!! I have the kit....want to build this one.......what movie???
  9. The CARS deal and the Star Wars licensing come under a granfather clause from what I understand. (both companies hold these) The CARS IP is really owned by Pixar (I know Disney now owns them same as SW) The other Disney owned IP's were used by R2 at one time but bet they get no new licensing of IP's that are now Disney. A model train company looked at a train from the live action 'Dumbo' but the cost was more than they could cover. Just what I understand anyway.
  10. Another one I want to build! I think it's a Model AA.....wheels are out there...or close...
  11. That kit would mean dealing with Disney.........the toughest and most costly licensing out there. Notice you do not see and Disney licensing on hobby products. Lionel did in the 1970's before Disney thought they were GOLD.
  12. I wanted one too....but figured we'd never get it. SO........
  13. Testors tube glue will not hold long. CA can work as do solvents made for ABS. I like 5 minute epoxy.
  14. In NC I was buying, mid 1980's, 16 oz glass bottle Cokes at my local gas station........they were a very light green but green tint. The NC Coke bottler, CCCC is bigger than the parent Coke Co of Atlanta.....or was back then. So things may differ by region.
  15. YUP....a lighter green glass.....you have to be old to have bought them!!!!
  16. 95% of the race car models kitted since the 1980's are 1/24 scale.......
  17. I've seen pre orders around $43
  18. So we have had some laughs with the Coca-Cola licensing @ R2.....but now high end model train manufacture LGB is going the same way with a entire line of Coke trains......Must sell!!!!!!
  19. Very cool!!
  20. got a bunch N/A this morning
  21. Tamiya has made a cobalt green in TS spray but there is no TS number. Looks like they will issue it as a TS again. This is the TS cobalt green
  22. Great finish and colors.
