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!!

DITTO.....that glass is black!!!! nice to have it like the box build!

Seen it 3 times. 2 in 2D once 3D.........3D was a total waste for me. Film is a conversion and not shot 3D so not well done. 2D was great.....nice and clear...bright. 3D dark and blurred........IMHO

Any kit in whole or part can be cloned. I loaned my Dragon Wagon to Revell for that reissue. It boils down to weather the profit is there. Truck kits sell well and have a little better margin because of the MSRP. 1960 El Camino??? Not sure enough demand with the 59 still out there.

The MPC Toyota is a decent little kit too......

Same thing Revell - Ford did with the Mustang snap kit. wait a short time and buy it for $10. It's a good thing for Ford and our hobby.

The Monza kit with ALL the stuff....stock, drag and custom IMSA stuff would be a good 3 in 1........some cool retro box art.....I can see it!!

Took the wife this afternoon. 2nd time for the 2D version.....the 3D was not set up right, I say, and was a waste. Saw the first SW the first day...and every one since. Yes.....it's typical Holltwood fair but enjoyed it for what it is. Go home and put on the DVD of Hitchcocks 'Vertigo' or your favorite classic to clean up the brain!!! I had fun....wife enjoyed.....$10 worth in todays world. ($5 Tue here)
