If they do the red/white wedge.....I'll need a few!!!! A FANTASTIC failure!!!

MPC Pacer wagon??? I don't recall ever seeing one...and as a old AMC guy I'd love someone to post box pics......I do have the AMT Pacer wagon kit.......it was never altered to the 'big' grille hood version.

Having run a few hobby shops, owned two aftermarket companies and still in the hobby industry......the fact $10 kits are gone is not news to me. But I feel the hobby is getting some momentum.....and I hope we do not kill it with price increases.....yes ...for two complete kits.....$37 not bad....but new comer John Q Public will not see anything but almost $40 for a small box of plastic.

$50....not too bad.....better than the one I bought a few years ago that was about 1/20.

I am a big fan of what John and Tom have been able to do at R2...... That said they are opening some gates and cleaning up the tool.....no new tooling. It's more a comment, 'worry', that kit prices may kill the momentum we are seeing right now. Let's not kill the goose before any eggs are laid......

Thanks Sir! I kinda see it now. Owning a 1/1 46 coupe....I do want one...and I'll get a few and see what they look like in hand. thx

Not sure I understand.......are you saying the rear quarter window extends to far back??? The two dead flat photos, model and 1/1, look the same.

$37 for Mod Rod??? better be good.......

I don't know the exact schedule for production of the different version.....and would get in trouble for sharing if I did!!!! I can say there are many version down the road.....and some are ground breaking in scale kit world. This new P/U is a limited run.....then the next version will be scheduled. Thx

Kits have landed.....get them while you can......will be at dist Monday. thx

RM should re-tool their kit to a version like yours!!! nice work.

The simple entry level snaper for rear wheels & tires. thx

If questions come up on scale....I'll walk out to the shop and check my 1/1......can't wait to build a scale version...

One more Mad Max model complete. After finishing 9.5 stalled projects I allowed myself to start a new one....with the promise of no stalling if I did. In the film the lead Citadel vehicle of Imortain Joe is a 1950 4 door Jaguar. Needless to say no plastic kit of said Jag in my stash. But when I saw the film I thought it was a Rolls Royce and reminded me of the old Minicraft RR kit. Grabbed one from the stash and saw it was close enough to use. Replaced the grille with a 37 Chevy grille turned 180 degrees. Cut off the roof, left off the trunk. Some parts box stuff...made the trunk mounted gun, chopped the windshield and made a front bumper from brass. Being an official vehicle I did not weather it as much.....trying to match the car as it looked at the start of the film. Thanks for looking...

Great build and dio......I used LED's in my build....but never hooked them up!! The dio is one of my favorite scenes. .

NOT my build....but my best buddy;s box stock other than one cable added.

Going in with a realistic view is a great idea. I did the kits I wanted to do and offset the cost....but even at $2 an hour it was a losing proposition. Love of the hobby and subject has to be your pay.

As a AMC guy and retired resin kit producer.......best of luck. The resin biz is a hard place to start. Add a unusual subject and yo have lots of work ahead.

I have near 100 unfinished projects.....on the desk right now 3. adhd ......

Nice work......something you'll not see again!!

It has a AMC 6 out of a Pacer!!! Glued the hood shut so no one will know....don't tell!!1

Thanks all for the comments.......Maybe I'll build the #4 car now that we have a very nice 240 cid Ford motor!!

My son is a store manager for a large drug store chain. They spend about 75% of their time restocking, changing, deleting stock and adding new SKU's. In today's over analyzed marketing.....the ONLY constant is change.....I am sure HL is the same.

This is another stalled project that is hard to believe how old it is. I started this more like 30 years ago....just shy of the 3 decade mark!! It is a model of one of two cars that ran at Hickory and Metrolinia speedways in the 1970. The other car was #4 and between the two they won 30 of 41 LMS NASCAR races in 1974 alone. They were 240 CID 6 cyl cars while the Chevy guys ran 283 V8's. I attended most of those races that year....and LOVED these cars....to me true American race cars that could be run competitive by the average Joe. These stalled as there was no 240 CID, easy to get, and I fussed over details asI had little info on the cars. Now I just finished it up....warts and all. Testors paint.....painted MANY years ago. Penngwen Hobbies decals, PPP wheels and tires AND roll cage. I do like the finished model.....should have done so years ago.....can't take another 30 years for the #4 car!!! thx
