  1. A 603-2 was in Lemony Snickets.....cool....
  2. Agreed.......I've foiled parts with less definition before.....
  3. As good as it gets with that kit!
  4. Good start....I like the kit....built 2 so far!
  5. I bought one about 15 years ago. It's not resin but a very fine fiberglass, common in AUS back in the day. Just a body and bumpers.....soft detail...but only option I ever saw. BTW.....saw Mad Max Fury for the 4th time Monday.
  6. Let us know what changes are needed to the instructions.....I have one in the stash.
  7. Thanks! Today there are nice resin kits of all the MFP cars including the 'night rider's' car and other MFP cars......been tempted to get them.
  8. I have one....been on the to do list for years.......I like the bright yellow-green color. Will be watching!!!
  9. I like the 13" rims and the limits it forces......but I have not like F1 cars for years.....so little difference.
  10. Great subject matter......never heard of the company but the stuff looks great!!! I have about 10 Iratani 1/20 scale F1 cars to build.....but they are daunting.
  11. Drop Moebius a note asking......they do it with truck tires so they may look into it....they are GREAT parts!
  12. If you can't find a seller of that version....let me know.....I know the hook up!!!
  13. Far from perfect......but built in the VHS tape era with little reference. Thx
  14. Looks like he and his website are gone again....Thanks...I'll keep looking!
  15. Caddy's??? 33 FORD powered....built because my buddies said I couldn't build anything but race cars! Movie car....... Movie star car.....
  16. Needs to be verbalized to me because so many folks here moan that we don't have a '1962 blandmobile with limited slip door handles' yet when we get a 1962 blandmobile with normal door handles people whine and say 'I'll pass' until they make the right one. 90% of the folks in the hobby do not have a slight understanding of the hobby business. Just a reminder...... If there are mommy issues....there are sites for that too.....
  17. I have one of those resin conversion kits......are they still made??? Who?
  18. Not sure why......but the Aoshema Mad Max Falcon kits have gone through the roof. Not sure if this film has driven up prices or just supply and demand in general. When the first came out they were under $40.....now around $90 and OOP. Long before any kit I built my own. It was a planned series Mad Max Falcons. This was my version of the Falcon right when the MFP buys it but has yet to upgrade it to lure Max back in. JoHan 72 Torino, AMT 72 Mustang and some parts. Other Max vehicles MANY more coming.....
  19. NO INSIDE info on this Revell project...... But I know at one time GM was a bear to get things approved while Ford often much easier and often offered help. This was during the Accurate Miniatures days when my brother in law was there....... MAY....I said MAY have something to do here. The last auto maker that did any subsidizing pf a kit was Ford.......again NO knowledge this came into play. But it seems Ford does recognize the connection between 'toys' (their term) and pinons later in life.
  20. And you'll never get them if the Fords don't sell........hint hint
  21. NO CGI....it all really worked....and is WILD!!! Each time I walked out of the movie I had a adrenaline high!! Note the 71 Charger to the right!
  22. There's only about 100 ideas in the film.....I've built from all the other movies....started a few from Fury today........ Seeing the film for the 3rd time Monday!
  23. The 'if you don't buy them....no more down the road is just hard cold business FACTS. No parental scolding here. Just truth. Those folks that will only buy a full detail Tamiya level NASCAR kit and will pass on these then complain......just making sure they are informed. Don't want these kits?? Don't buy them. It's very simple. One poster said they'd not buy because no Goodyear decals.......you didn't want the kit anyway. NASCAR kits kept the model companies in cash for a good while. Our hobby shop would place an order every Monday for kits. Cases of each srock number.....always 2 cases of #2900 for sure. What current kit sells like that??? Revell is looking at this as a test (only in my opinion) to see if that well is ready to produce again. Or do we need more Camaros, Mustangs and 57 Chevys???
