  1. The newer ones are much improved in quality than the hit and miss earlier versions of a couple plus years ago. Hobby Design also sells tires of various types and will fit Pegasus 18" tires in most cases. There are some Hobby Design wheels and tires amongst these photos: http://s150.photobucket.com/user/exotics_builder/library/Basement%20Hobby%20Stash/Wheels http://s150.photobucket.com/user/exotics_builder/library/Model%20wheels%20and%20Tires
  2. That is correct. If I remember correctly, there were somewhere between 3-5000 of these kits left from AM and Revell bought them and reboxed them. They did NOT acquire any molds. I'm guessing they got them for a good price. If there were that many left after the close of AM, they must not have been flying off the shelves.
  3. Some newspaper carry them in the Hobby Lobby ads or go to their website and find it under weekly offers. You can only use one at a time on regular priced merchandise.
  4. If you go back to the original thread, you will see the box art model photo:
  5. It is. I will need to correct for the magazine. I checked mine down in the stash and confirmed.
  6. Now you need to add a motor to shake it!!
  7. I just got a response back that it IS 1/25 scale. Typo on the list I got.
  8. I went back and checked the notes and it said 1/24, but I don't recollect any 40 Ford Coupe in 1/24 either. Just the stock and street machine 1/25 versions. I will get back to Revell on that.
  9. Sorry if I implied he was. It seems that someone almost always throws that into a thread, so was hoping to avoid that.

  11. Their HQ is in the suburban Chicago area, so that is a benefit. They are invited to meetings at all three of the clubs I belong to here: GTR Modelers; CARS in Miniature; and Lake Michigan Model Car Club. When they show up and present it is a show and tell, but feedback from the members is accepted. At our meeting Revell indicated that they, amongst other manufacturers, are experiencing slower turnarounds on corrections to test shots and, in some cases, complete misunderstanding of the correction resulting in a worse outcome. Please don't carry on about bringing this stuff back to the USA, because it is still not yet cost competitive and people constantly carp about kit prices as it is.
  12. Compatibility View means that the website does not support all IE11 features and allows an IE9 level. Chrome (or Firefox) do not have all the security settings I can do with IE11 and Norton. I keep my computer very secure (to the point that some ad push attempts from some pages bumps the browser from time to time). A price worth paying, I think.
  13. I was just going to post that too as after I got back I thought maybe there was a misunderstanding on the C7 having a transaxle like the C5 and C6. Also, I have IE11 on Windows 8.1 and it works. Did you set this site in Compatibility View Settings?
  14. It is part of their pre-finished line and is simpler construction and fewer parts. Just like the already issued Camaro ZL1 and Challenger SRT.
  15. At the GTR Modelers club meeting last night, Revell showed up with a parts board of the new C7 Stingray that is coming in their new pre-finished line. This is different that the SnapTite version in that it has an engine and more parts and requires glue. Per Revell, the first issue will have black and gunmetal parts trees and the body will be Red (Torch Red perhaps?). Anyway, I only had the camera on my phone, so please excuse the blurriness of some of the shots.
  16. Ditto that. Last I heard was around November 1.
  17. They were marked Second Quarter 2015 at IHOBBY
  18. At IHOBBY form the Round2 folks. I will be confirming when I send the MCM article sections to the manufacturers for their final review before I package off and send to the magazine Round2 indicated that The "feather" graphics decals in our upcoming Crew Chief issue were corrected to what was available on the factory 1:1 vehicle. But they were not included in the original Crew Chief kit. They were first seen in the Boondocker issue.
  19. The correct Boondocler decals will be included in the ROund2 reissue. So you can build either way.
  20. Love the wheel! And your order arrived today. GREAT STUFF!!! Thank you!!
  21. Can you be more explicit? Are you talking about decals that replicate seat fabric? Or different seat design such as diamond pattern, tuck and roll, etc.? That would possibly help in getting a good response.
  22. Could you be more explicit? Are you talking about decals to simulate fabric/seat material? Or different seat patterns like tuck and roll?
