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?

Where did you buy the wall cases?

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Grumpy kit has been a great seller. Just heard it's been sold out already. But, more are being produced.

Out in bulk pickup.

Then, get rid of the old one.

Yes, bought a new one.

Saw this yesterday on facebook. The Model King and Moebius are planning on doing the 67-72 Chevy trucks. If true , that's good news. Would love to see a 67-70 Chevy pickup truck come out.

Yes, I was told by Atlantis that the Snoopy Sopwith will come with the motor. I'm in.

That's why it's just better to start a new topic because it's just too time consuming to search for old threads because of the poor search feature on this site. Also, you get fresh and up to date input from members . Back to the topic, as far as the BOP cars, there is not many requests for those when these "what would you like to see released" polls come up from time to time. This is probably related; there was a little write up about a month ago as to the direction the model car kit companies are going in ; and that is, doing releases of mid 60's through the 70's car and truck kits. I was surprised to read this, but that is the direction. Proof is we see the just released 70.5 Camaro z28, Grumpy's Vega, 65 Plymouth Satellite stock and AWB cars . Coming soon is the AMT 64 Cutlass convt, Ford Indy drag set, 63 Chevy II wagon and the 72 Chevy truck with racing wedge kits and so on. Looks like an exciting time to be in the model car hobby.

Here is the Snoopy Sopwith all together.

Round 2 needs to do a re release on this one.

It's interesting how this thread veered off from discussion of the Revell 71 351 Mustang to model cars of the 50's.

Lots of good advice given here about going in person to pick up the collection. The worst that can happen is you show up and see the collection wasn't what you thought it be. You just simply walk away. No dealing with shipping things back in forth.

Last time I saw a Dodge LS 1000 was around 91 or 92, in western Pembroke Pines, FL. The truck and trailer was orange and owned by a moving company.

I agree too. I drove from Pembroke Pines, FL to Dade City, FL to pick up trunk lid at a salvage yard. It was 5 hours each way. I'm glad I did it. It was long time since I took a road trip , but I needed to get out and do it.

6 hours driving is not that bad. If I were in your shoes, I would do that 6 hour drive. If your there in person your going to be able to check and look at the collection. Any issues or something not right you address it there instead of having to deal with that when you receive the shipment. I wouldn't do it any other way.
