  1. I really love that this Bronco kit is coming out. Maybe it'll be a big seller and we'll get a Maverick and some other cool off roaders. My only other wish is that someone would offer a set of accessories. Maybe some steel bumpers, aftermarket tires and wheels and especially some roof racks with accessories would be cool!
  2. Nice! One question, is the hood scoop molded to the hood or is it a separate piece?
  3. Where do you sell that '75 front end?
  4. Thanks for the input. I'll probably go ahead and buy it anyway as it's a good price.
  5. I have several of the GT3 road version of this kit and I found the racing version for a decent price. From the pictures I cant see any difference other than decals. Other than the rear wing is there anything in the racing version that makes it worth buying over the road kit?
  6. Something that occurred to me, are Monogram's 1/24th 1970 and 1977 Trans Ams the same kit with different front ends or are they totally different? Anyone know?
  7. I've been gradually collecting kits to do original Cannonball cars and one that's eluded me is the 1974 Trans Am that was on this Car and Driver cover. Ideally I'm hoping to find a front end and decals that will fit the 1/24th Monogram/RevellTA, but the MPC one is a backup choice.
  8. Looks like you're doing a good job. I'd so love to see this reissued!
  9. For a few years, some of the Ag/tractor dealers here in central Texas have sold these for farm and ranch use. I've even seen a couple of them tagged as trucks for road use. Not sure how they managed that, but I'd love to have one. Now they're switching to those side by side ATVs.
  10. Over the last year I've bought three Otaki 1/24th Porsche 911s at reasonable prices and they seem pretty well done for the time. I was wondering if anyone knew about the company or what happened to their molds. I'd really love to see the 911 reissued and even more, I'd love to get a copy of their Cheetah for a price that wasn't painful. Every time I've come across one of those it's in the $200-$300 range.
  11. I came across a website with some interesting stuff and wanted to ask if anyone has ordered from them. https://offthesprue.com/
  12. I've got a collection of mostly Monogram 1/24 Porsche 911s and for some variety I'd like to do one with a right hand drive dash. Does anyone know which if any companies produce a 911 with options to do RHD?
  13. Maybe I should get one and bring it full circle by putting the body on a battery powered R/C chassis!
  14. AMT is re-releasing the Dodge van a lot and this grill would be a good alternative.
  15. Nothing really for me in this batch, maybe next month. I've got several of the previous boxing of the Pinto, I couldn't tell if there was any difference between the new and old issues. Anyone know? Another question, is this the MPC kit or the AMT one? I'm wondering if the round headlight front parts will fit on the MPC Pinto wagon.
  16. Come on, AMT or Mobius please make this van in 1/25th scale!
  17. Steve Zimmerman on Facebook has some nice looking wheels and tires. His are resin with Pegasus tires, I think. I've bought from him and they were great. I think he sells under the name Zs Wheels, but not sure.
  18. We're currently watching the Marvel movies in order and now I feel the need to build a Toyota 4Runner like the ones in the Black Panther Korea scenes. A search doesn't show a kit of this era 4Runner. Any ideas?
  19. Courtesy of Walmart and Hobby Lobby's 40% coupons I have lifetime of the late '70s Ford van sitting on the shelf. I really hope Mobius will do the early 60s version. They're part way there with the drivetrain and frame from the pickups. I had one of the MPC versions a long time ago but it was 1/20th scale so I traded it.
  20. I'll be getting a few of the '66 Mustang to build in honor of my dad. He had a 1:1 Mustang 2+2 and he built a couple models of it with the AMT kit.
  21. As far as Dajiban goes, it seems the short wheelbase is preferred, but the long wheelbase is also used. I'd bee happy with score marks on the inside to do my own conversion to SWB.
  22. I'm not familiar with this kit. Are they the styrene plastic or the vinyl? If it's vinyl, I've had decent luck with acrylic craft from Walmart or Hobby Lobby. Just be sure to use the flat and not the glossy versions. They seem to cover better.
