Lucas SOLD Star Wars.......he didn't loose it in a hostile take over or some type of wrong doing. I like Lucas........American Graffiti is his best film and my favorite growing up in So Cal 1960's..... But he SOLD SW......take your billion and have a good life!

Rogue Squadron will come out DEC 2016 with Eps 8 DEC 2017. I am looking forward to Rogue as it goes 'back in time' and can expand the time period we like the best (in and around Eps 4) Plus it will have lots of hardware....which is big for me!! PS Theater owners have voted Rogue as #1 most anticipated 2016 film......Disney will need more vaults for the cash.

NICE!

I got the reissue today....WOW.....I'll let Tim review as I am busy doing artwork for a new Moebius kit.....and Tim helped out on this kit...so he'd know more too.

THANKS I have that one.....again nice work and thanks

Tamiya Yellow....but can't recall which right now!!

GREAT color and paint......... I kinda like the kit....wish it was 1/25 but still decent. I want to build that color someday........my Yellow version....

That's what I refereed to in my post.......it was expensive and most failed after a number of years. Very complicated for sure!

I just put them in my 1/1 1966 Mustang 2+2 project car......amazing as I remember when the Cougar first had them and the control box was like $700.....now with LED's and a VERY small PC board you have them for $75!!

Which kit??

I know exactly how you feel!!!! Buying the AMT COT kits with Hendrick markings.....it almost killed me!!!!! (I worked in NASCAR licensing 1980's through 2000 so take my word) Any way.......just happy to see new NASCAR kits....even if they are based on rather old tooling....old in racing terms. The bodies are very well done and roll cage is decent. The chassis and exhaust are being reused from the older early 2000 kits.....which is VERY different than a COT Gen II chassis. BUT NASCAR racers are bodies......today under those bodies are almost 100% the same other than engine and those look more and more alike every day......these kits have no motors and avoid the issue completely. My biggest complaint is not the chassis as once built not much an issue........but stickers only is an issue. I am doing my own decals but I wish there were nice grille, headlight etc decals included. Thanks to Revell and Ford for trying something new at least.

Gofer Racing decals has some made for service vehicles. Model Round-up or direct from Gofer.

You and Terry Jessie are the only two brave enough to build this thing. I have a mint kit....and planned to build....but with what it is going for......hard to do now!! VERY nice work!

That EXACT car has not been kitted....but it could be build with some work and custom decals....

CHANGE......not often good for us older types......or easy to understand. Goes for about all things I touch.

Great how to info......few of us have your skills....but thanks for sharing.

Also the swastika was around LONG before Hitler adopted it. Now putting it on a German car does kinda seem odd.

100% agree.....

I think there are still PEOPLE that can build things......I see plenty of them on a much smaller scale in the people in the 1/1 car hobby and folks that supply them. There are still a lot of guys that can MAKE fantastic items. They are as a group getting older but there are a number of younger guys picking up their skills. Is the corp structure there today.....that's another story.

Love the kit.....will be watching....cool idea!

Last time we saw those kits they were EURO releases from the old USA molds....so I bet they are.

7030 BMW Isetta, 1:16 WOW.....that might be cool.......plastic kit??

Never used that item.....but use a LOT of Dupli-color products and love them on my models and 1/1 projects. Let us know!

I have that issue.....and the top/roof is on the body with instructions about how to chop it off!!!! So as Tim said......you can make your own now that the bed cover has been restored!!!!

Having been in model car licensing from around 1983 until 1998 I could tell you horror stories about licensing. And even though I do not do much of that today (still a little) it has killed some major projects. I'll write a book someday!!
