  1. Nice job. Have the very same kit sitting in the basement stash, unbuilt. I'll likely attack the Moebius 61 before I get to this.
  2. Other than decal sheet, tires and being molded in white, this appears to be the same as the 1998 reissue. Didn't see a "Street Rods" sticker in the box, but didn't look hard.
  3. He is usually quite fast in delivery and usually responds no later than a couple of days. This is unusual for him.
  4. Waiting on this one!!!!!!!!!!
  5. Only diecast that I am aware. Haven't seen any announcements yet either.
  6. He was at an Arizona show and when he returned, his internet was down. I have an order coming that he updated as shipped but have yet to get. He did get back through his email. And he is on FB as well. If my paint order doesn't arrive soon, I am pinging him and then decide if I go to PayPal.
  7. I have a Prestige 63 version in my stash and only has a stock motor. My 90's reissue 64 has a stock or GMC blower for the 409.
  8. Over the last couple of years every time I've interviewed them or asked questions at a show, the response is that there is NO interest in doing any new parts packs or reissuing any old ones. There does not appear to be enough return for the investment. And the last issue of the parts pack engines lack of sales is used as an example. Right now, other than AMT's, Casters like Chief Joseph (Fireball Modelworks) are the best sources. I'm hoping Revell will eventually reconsider, but it does not appear, to me, likely in the near term.
  9. I was trying to do a simple edit with font size and color and it didn't like it.
  10. You think they may have meant Cindy Williams? American Graffiti, Laverne and Shirley or Happy Days related?
  11. Are you using Internet Explorer? Do you also have Google Chrome on your machine? If so, try that.
  12. I had the same thing happen a few days ago, Then it eventually worked.
  13. Want some detail, start here (multiple versions of Gallardo) http://www.eurospares.co.uk/parts/lamborghini/gallardo-2004
  14. I wish I had brought my camera to take more detail photos from various angles. I am not a NASCAR fan, but those that are could make a better assessment. The obvious thing to me was the molded hood which likely means a curbside/snap kit.
  15. It was brought by Revell to the GTR Auto Modelers meeting last Saturday, November 7. I was there along with other members. The individual posting it is the GTR Club Secretary who shot a photo of it along with items brought by members. The body displayed a thinner passenger side B pillar than driver side. From our NASCAR aficionados, that is a correct depiction.
  16. I go downstairs into the "stash cave" and see about 800 unbuilt models. This year I've got five either done or near completion. So doing the math... However. looking at this list, the Ford GT, ZL1, C7 Foose and 67 Nickey are likely on the list. The ZL1 can be a good base for a custom car. And the Foose C7 may be a better option to do a Z06 C7.R since Revell indicated they are currently not planning any C7 Z06. I, personally, am not a big fan of Fords, Mopars, Porsches, or 29-30 Fords. Not that I would not necessarily build one, but not my main interest. For those that are into them, I'm glad they'll get their chance to buy. I agree with Jonathon on the getting the RoG versus the USA until it is known whether there is warpage in the packing. Also, for those who want to deal with the undersized wheels of the 918, Plamoz wheels just announced corrected wheels for the kit. Also, if I understood correctly, it may be some time before any more 57 Ford variants (aka Ranchero) might show up.
  17. That air cleaner decal is part of the kit decal sheet. Look at the original post and you'll see the entire sheet. Moebius did a great job on the decals as well as the kit.
  18. Not happening in Q1 and somewhat coy about it given the "vibes" going around on it.
  19. Here is their flier:
  20. Getting back at this as a variety of things interfered with major progress. First the bad news. The body is in the dunk tank and is stripped. I wound up with a couple of flaws as I was polishing the body and couldn’t correct them to my satisfaction. So, since I tipped over the remaining paint, I also had to put another order in to Scale Finishes. The engine though is pretty well done. Needs some paint on the tranny and a couple of touches, including heater hoses. Working on the interior. It will be black. The Satellite has quite a bit of metal trim in the interior door panels and I am replicating with BMF. Per documentation, the car was delivered with front and rear seat belts for all but the center rear seat passenger (which was an option). I am going to do the standard seat belts using Detail Master PE hardware. Also need to complete the console and dash panel. Although they are stock, the kit tires and wheels are not my cup of tea (perhaps I’ll trade them off). I decided to do a Magnum 500 wheel with redline tires. Still need to detail the wheels, but here is what I planning to use. It will need some tweaking of the wheel hub mounts on the kit. Since I applied decals to the body, I’ll need to decide on getting more decals or winging it with BMF and tape.
  21. As Greg has said many time in this post. Revell claimed that they acquired the remaining stock, not the molds. If I recollect correctly, it was considerably less than 5,000 units. They apparently saw an opportunity with the stock on hand. As stated at the time, the reissue of these by AM did not have people rushing to the LHS to buy. But it would be interesting to know if anyone did acquire the molds. At least I have about 4 extra Vettes and a couple of the McLarens if I want to use to them for anything.
  22. First, you will have to address different mounting to the wheel hub. The resin Novitec's you are referencing are likely Hobby Design, possibly A+Club. You can likely make them work, but then their is the accuracy of the wheels. 599's and F12's wheels are 5 bolt lugs and Enzo wheels are pin driven, center lug. So they would be inaccurate for the car. A+ club and Hobby Design both sell an alternative wheel for the Enzo.
  23. In researching, as best as I could determine, I found that Chrysler Engine Blue was the color. Does not appear Turquoise but Testor's Engine Blue seems darker than photos.
