Because I have worked for Moebius it kinda hits home some......I know how much that is for them.

Thanks for that.....it's not good for anyone....but that hits Moebius hard.....

Childress racing has a MUCH longer relationship with Chevy. (and maybe more famous with the #3?) They are also the number one Chevy team at this time performing MUCH better than HMS. Think things never change??? If you had said 3 years ago Harvick would be thanking FORD in the winners circle for the third time in a row, you'd been laughed out of town. Change is the only constant....... To wrap it up....follow the money.....

Bingo......

Now that someone else has said it.......both manufactures have been attending races over the past 18 months. NASCAR needs a bigger audience, USA fan base is down massively. How does a business expand when home base is shrinking??? How did the NFL do it??? Go to Europe. The buzz from a new manufacture is exactly what France wants.....he often says he copies the NFL in marketing. Now if you keep up with published comments from some high profile companies and individuals you can connect the dots.

Lived within 100 yards of the place....bought a new '82 Z28 direct from Rick. So as I said....not just some hillbilly here. Chevy makes Rick the least money right now. The unknown manufacture, seen in the HMS pits of late, will bring badly needed buckets of cash with them. While all this is my opinion....I worked in NASCAR for 15 years.....

Kasey Kahne was signed through 2018....he drivin for HMS??? Like I said I've held contracts with HMS....I know how they are structured. Just IMHO

While I want to see this project finished....I fully understand........start to finish this took me 15 years ........ And no where near as nice or complex!!!!

All part of the plan folks!!! Jimmie will move on or retire end 2018. The 48 will go back to HMS original #5 with a new very high profile driver, sponsor and maybe new auto manufacture. I've held license deals with HMS so don't write me off as the hillbilly I appear to be!!!

If I was asked to perform due diligence on Revell, like I did 50+ times when I was working for a top 5 bank, It'd be a hard call. I love Revell Monogram, have folks there I call friends....just being real. IMHO only......thx

In today's climate $10M is pretty high for Revell.....kinda depends on the debt included. Even if debt load is very small it would take a while to start making a good profit on the investment..........speaking as a retired Sr Analyst. We'll see....it may go w/o a bid .....

I kinda figured it was as likely to happen as it was of being successful.....just stirring the pot!!!

Let's crowdfund and buy Revell!!!

Sorry for your losses. My cat Red had a scare last week.....acted like he was chocking.....$1100 later they are not sure what happened but he went from 'put him down' to a 100% in 4 days....happy to have him back...no matter the $$$ Maybe rescue another cat in a few months.......thxs for caring for them for years.

The current higher end kits have most parts laser cut and ready to assemble. The skill comes in with the sails and rigging......not super difficult but takes a lot of time. I have two kits in the stash I want to build. Might try one of the smaller kits to see.

Nice job.....the company I worked fpr owned First and I always wanted to build that car.

iBorg has it right. The MPC 34 Ford, Pinto, Vega and 37 Chevy were what I call Southern modified using 57 Chevy chassis and BBC motor no matter the make of body.

RC2 clone a stock 69 Torino body for the reissue of the street car....both still exist. The Gremlin was a Toby Tobias tube chassis NE modified and the body was a highly modified custom body and was never a stock Gremlin. It's a 5 piece assembly.

Doubt it's all of them.......R2 most times get a case via air freight to check out before hand.....or they did at one time. If you know how the Chinese manufacture in the batch methods I can see a bagged body being left behind and thrown in the next run of kits.

Plez show us how....I need a set of weed burners for Ivo's mid 60's FE rail!!!

About every dealer I know are taking orders.....does not mean much really...

Don't judge Pegasus by their website for sure. I've been to their store in So Cal.......top 5 store of all time. And the folks behind Pegasus are good too. So between their work and first hand info....I think it will be OK.

How I used the 57 Ford side pipes........ So I may pick up a set....

To each his own. Many showroom stock kits bore me too!!! The decals are said to be printed in Italy by Chartagraph with artwork by one of the best.....so we will all see when it comes......but Chartagraph decals are miles ahead on Chinese kit decals.

All Moebius Aurora reissues were cloned tooling....IE copies of old kits. I do not know for sure about the PL but my understanding is they are cloned too.
