Looks good

Yes, I do he is the NA distributor

You are a few months late, I did one in September

Plamoz is doing two sets of wheels for this one, both sets should be out in January

After I posted I went ahead and contacted them , I believe it was Antonio that responded to me and let me know that it was finally shipped out today, all of my previous orders went out within a few days, I understand that they might of got a lot of orders in so I am sure that slowed things down a bit.

Hmm, still waiting on my order place last Friday to ship

Very nice

Neat that they are reissuing this one, I have the 90's issued one still to build so I will be passing this one up.

Really nice work

Wow, very nice.

Well, while Matt might be located in the USA, Gravity Colors is not "American", it was founded in Europe in 2013, Matt runs the American satatlite "location", if you try and contact Gravity Colors via their Facebook page, you get to talk to Antonio in Europe Gravity Colors hobby airbrush model paints Where are you from? Ahh. I see that from USA. I am Antonio, from the european store. Please, email to info@gravitycolors.com and ask for the offer. So with my reply above, I wonder if the paints you got came from Gravity's EU location?

Thank you guys Sorry for the crud photo's.

According to "Auto Blog, the new Bronco and Ranger will be built in America, development for them both is being done in Ford's Asia-Pacific Product Development Center in Australia.

Tim I have some questions for you before I go any further 1. Did you really send my comments to Round 2 and get a response directly about them? 2. Exactly who at Round 2 did send my comments to? 3. Exactly what was the response to your comments? Now, I understand you have a little bit invested in this kit, so I can understand why you might be I guess offended by what I have/had to say about this kit, but that doesnt mean you have a right try and discredit me as well. Ive been building models since sometime in the 80's , Ive been around long enough to know what a good kit is , and what a subpar kit is. Second, I dont understand why you brought up that that I favor building Japanese kits vs domestic kits, please, tell how that has any bearing on me being able to give a opinion of a domestic kit. They are both model kits , the only difference is the country of origin , nothing more, nothing less, so that was just a failed attempt at trying to discredit me. I will let you on a little secret as to why that is, I like building cars from era, which from 1980-today, and I know you dont need me telling you this, but we dont get a lot of current American subjects that are not build and play kits, so, my only choice is to build mostly Japanese kits, if Round 2 and Revell kit current subjects that I have an interest in, I will buy them and build them, case in point, I bought the 2016 Camaro kit, and here is something, I HATE Camaro's in real life. So, I was doing my part in supporting Round 2 for the efforts and showing them that current subjects are wanted. With all due respect, I really don't care how long you say you were in the auto industry, that has no bearing on building model kits, and doesnt mean your opinion mean's more than mine does. If we were talking about 1:1 cars, sure, you might have me there. I might of made it a bit personal with my Tamiya remark, I probably should of kept that out, but it was said, and I still stand by it, but it is becoming very common for people to compare every model kit to Tamiya kits, why, I dont know, and I think it gets a bit silly at times, and Tamiya is not perfect either in their own right. Now of course, this is just my opinion, but anyone that has built a Tamiya like quality kit would know the difference between a Tamiya kit and a Revell or AMT kit, and would know that it would be very silly to say that are the same. Ok, awesome, you got the first two SL kits in the US, I can play that game too, from my understanding, I have the only Aoshima tee shirt in the USA, and it looks like I might of been the first to get the Meng Hummer H1 in the US, but that has no bearing on this topic. But that goes back to, have you actually built a Tamiya kit? I know you have an axe to grind with Tamiya over the Aston Martin DBS , it is time to get over that, lets move on, life is too short for that. I am not ragging or bashing on AMT like I suspect you think I am doing, I have no axe to grind with them, I have ZERO reason to bad mouth this kit, I really dont, you gotta trust me on that one. If you are really curious or care about my dealings with this kit , I mean really truly care about the issues I had, than drop the crude, show me some respect,and I will do the same in return, and talk to me with out the back handed remarks trying to get everyone to think that I am 2 bit hack. Now that we got all the personal BS out of the way,lets move on and focus on the kit.

I wouldnt say heat of the moment, but I still standby what I said, I probably did fail a bit in putting my thoughts into words, so let me try this again, it was my finding that a lot of the mounting holes were not say big enough to allow easy insertion without having to apply a lot pressure and then risking breaking said part and or pin. The mounting holes for the spoiler , the amount of pressure needed to push it down into the holes could of very easily snapped the spoiler if not being really careful. And there we some mounting holes, that did not need any attention. Is there anything else you would like to discredit me on? do me favor, if you are going to imply that I am wildly incompetent, then be a man and come out and say it, if you are trying to say I am just biased against domestic kits , then , be a man and just come out and say it, but I have grown tired of your back handed remarks in this thread because you dont like what I have to say. I am doing what the very point of the a review section is for, to share opinions on kits, that is something that us guys that are building the kits have the ability to do.

Tim, let me be perfectly clear here so there isnt any misinformation said, the only "fit" issues I encountered was the with the tires not fitting well on to the hub pieces, which for me caused them to stick out some past the fenders. One of two things could of cause that issue for me, one, the hub pieces more so for the rear where molded just a tad bit too long, or the female end that half shaft goes into was not molded deep enough, or, I just wanst pressing the wheels all the way into the hubs. I know that I pushed the wheels on as far as they would go, so this leads me to believe that is was on the hub end.

Overall, I am happy with how it turned out, paint is from Scale Finishes, Chevy Olympic White with Tamiya TS 13 and some polishing, the roof/spoiler was painted with Tamiya TS14 Black. The idea for doing the roof and spoiler in black came from a Camaro fan forum I cam across while doing some image searching, it turns out, on that fan forum, doing a gloss black vinyl wrap on the roof and spoiler is pretty popular with the owners of white Camaro's.
