MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. No there's only one set of mirrors, one set of mirror reflectors which are on the (will be) Chrome tree with the headlight buckets.
  2. There wasn't a lot of automotive at the Atlantis booth. The featured built models were the pair of AA Fuel Dragsters, which came out last year. Being shown for the "first" time is the old Revell 1955 Chevrolet. This is supposed to get run next month (Sept) and will come with all the stock and drag parts. I'm not familiar enough with the "classic" *cough* 55 tooling, but I think this might be the first time it's been entirely in this configuration since the 1964 boxing. Also being shown was the chrome and new glass runner for the 1/32 '56 Buick Custom
  3. The other new tool on offer is the Lamborghini Reveulto. This kit continues the recent trend of Revell Germany based tools coming "factory prepped" with both LHD & RHD.
  4. Next up the new tool Mustang. This kit is going to come with two sets of wheels and two trunk lids which facilitate for a spoiler or spoiler delete look. Also oddly enough two lower grill surrounds so you can add/delete the front plate mount.
  5. Greetings and salutations from Hampton, Virginia. Once again you've wasted another year and it's time for Nationals again. Revell & Atlantis are once again sharing the same table space area with Revell having some test shots of two new upcoming tools and a few odds and ends at Atlantis. First up at Revell previously announced items on the display boards.
  6. Uhh no we wouldn't. Other than the vaguely passable Jetsonic lightbar there isn't a single other thing about that kit that is even remotely close to the 1st Gen Taurus Police Car other than the fact it is a Taurus. The real Taurus Police Car was a base model Taurus L and didn't have a single SHO part anywhere near it. The model kit is the wrong interior, wrong drive train and wrong body trim/aero. It's also not at all accurate to the RoboCop movie cars either. The kit itself does build up into a nice SHO don't get me wrong, but the whole Police Car tie-in was a "zero dollar" attempt to amortize the tooling.
  7. Given that 3D printing got it's footing in the hobby doing small parts, there's probably several engines out there already that you could put into this offering. Although you'd be sawzalling the heck out of $150 worth of resin to use one. One piece body, one piece chassis...the need to create an engine bay. This is sounding like $300-400 now.
  8. Same ole, same ole...but i dont think that pickup topper, roof light rack, or center section push bar (both of the latter are different than the roll bar/KC lights and full brush guard that has come in all the other boxings) has come in any release since the original 1981 release of the "Dude" kit.
  9. Having not seen this in person I can't judge it individually. I can say that the price point it's at it's climbing a very steep hill of expectations and quality demands curbside or not. It's playing in the big boys toys end of the pool (Alpha, PZY, Fugu Garage, Red Wheels, etc) and I'm not seeing all the extras like decals, etch, etc that help justify those other company's prices.
  10. Don't need tests shots of the B/FX Comet or Ramp Truck, those kits are out on the streets.
  11. Original stock '65 Comet kit was released in 2016. Time flies, etc, etc...
  12. Two accent sheets for the Tamiya 911 GT3RS All the blue on this Audi R8 is blue chrome foil decals.
  13. That someone would be the young lady who as (at least at the time) in charge of GM's Licensing department.
  14. End of the year (4Q) on the presumption that tariffs don't go all sideways again.
  15. 911 GT2 from PZY/Kitbox Two new sheets from Miniature Decals for the Good Smile Racing AMG GT3 Evo 2025 Super GT and 2025 24hrs of Spa liveries.
