    I used to use the decals. It was tedious. Stopped using the decals and just bought tires that have the whitewalls. Modelhaus is still in business, but they only sell tires. They have a very nice selection of whitewall tires.

    In all likelyhood, this probably will come out in the future. Round 2 already has the AWB Nova, the trailer and soon to be released 63 Chevy II wagon is on the way.

    Look at the Hudson they did. I never bought it because it never appealed to me. However, that kit turned out be a good seller. Who would have known.

    Just have to wonder what other prototypes Moebius has done that we have not seen yet. Just imagine walking in the door to the product developement dept. and seeing what's there.

    Saw this picture ; and for a second it looked like a Moebius kit box with a picture of a 56 Mercury. I thought this kit was going to be a new release from Moebius.
  6. GMP440
    When was the last time this kit was out?
  7. GMP440
    What 3 kits were chosen?

    I agree. I think a lot of more surprises are on the way. Round 2 is even fixing and modified old tooling. Lot of people have stated that this tooling and that tooling are gone forever. Looks like in some instances they have been wrong.

    Anyone know when the 63 Chevy ll wagon is coming out?
  10. GMP440
    Right on. Finally, Round 2 is starting to get kits out that have not been seen in over 50 years. People are still complaining. I bet if you gave each complainer a million dollars they still would complain.
  11. GMP440
    Totally agree. Very well said.
  12. GMP440
    I thought the original one was a full build kit. Am I correct? At least Round 2 is trying to get these oldies out . Hopefully more to come.

    First of all ; if I was in Riggles shoes and I identified safety issues, then he had a choice to tell the crew no until we safety the area or find another location. This is sometimes a problem within the production industry. Always in a hurry to get something in the can by deadline. The occupants in the Hemi Under Glass were lucky they walked away. Could have been far worse.

    Yes. On the real car, that part of the door area under the door handle has the sunken area. I own a real 1968 Coronet 440. That is the correct shape of the door. This is on all 68-70 Coronet doors. Also, these doors are the same as 68-70 Belvedere, Satellite, Roadrunner, GTX. You can swap doors from the Dodge and Plymouth 68-70 B-body cars.

    That's the way I am building mine. Doing this one as a base Camaro. Will use the 350 that's in the kit, 4 speed trans; both which were available on the base Camaro. Also will use the spoiler too. Not sure if you could get a rear spoiler on a 1970 base Camaro. Maybe use white wall or black wall tires. Will use the wheels that have the square holes and stock air cleaner from the AMT 72 Nova kit.

    Within the last 10 years Round 2 released the Funny Farmer 63 Tempest AWB car. How was this released? Is it an all new kit or was the original AMT 63 Tempest tooling modified to do the current AWB car?
  17. GMP440
    Where did you buy the wall cases?
  18. GMP440
    I agree. I hope they do this kit in 1/25 scale. Most of the kits that Revell has done in the last 10 or so years has been 1/25 scale. It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall at Revell to see what other American car subjects they have in developement. The good thing is we are being heard and from the looks of it they are marketing towards the adult builder.

    The very last sentence says it all. Very true. You hit the nail on the head. Wanted to add ; those that bash a kit company for a certain part of a kit not being accurate, I say to those people, don't buy the kit. Not everything is perfect in this world. Things are not 100% . Sometimes we have to let things go. It's just a hobby and that's all it well ever be.
  20. GMP440
    I have an AMT 63 Tempest builtup as well. I'm looking for the same parts as you; the right headlight bezel and stock tail light panel.
  21. GMP440
    Moebius seems to be doing pretty good with the truck kits. I think it's time for Moebius to get into releasing more car kit. Prostocks would be great start. Would love to see that Maverick come out. A 71 Dodge Demon would be very welcome as well.
  22. GMP440
    Well, in short; if there is a model car subject announced for release or being developed there still will be those that will find something to complain about or nit pick . That's the way the world is. As one of the board members here eloquently illustrated; it's like a record player, round and round, here we go.
  23. GMP440
    The Grumpy kit has been a great seller. Just heard it's been sold out already. But, more are being produced.
  24. GMP440
    Out in bulk pickup.
  25. GMP440
    Then, get rid of the old one.
