The paint on the roof of my black 1/18 '60 Starliner is cracked and flaking off, but the rest of the car is mint, and the roof is plastic, try to figure that one out. Makes me mad, because the black version with dog dish hub caps was a hobby store exclusive and is kinda rare. At least I can repaint the roof... but I probably wont. -MJS

Really?

Very cool project, and my favorite Roadkill episode thus far. -MJS

Wow, I heard rumors about this. Super clean and detailed build, and just a bit ironic that a fire department car is made partially out of wood. I hope that hinge material re-appears, it gives me some ideas. -MJS

So is he a scale curb stoner? -MJS

I shall own several. How could this not be a good seller? -MJS

I wish we could trade you guys some heat for some cool, it's supposed to get to 80º here tomorrow, which is swell and all; but I like working in cooler weather. -MJS

Gorgeous. -MJS

Awesome! I used to have the original JoHan Schartman Comet kit. Shouldn't have sold it... -MJS

It's obviously a twin plug race Hemi that they were going for; maybe they didn't get it exactly right, but close. -MJS

Easy to build for the make'n'takes, tough toy when finished, possibility of dealer promo models and full detail kits, I don't see any negatives here. -MJS

Best General Lee I have seen, against the right back ground/base it would look real. -MJS

Very nice! -MJS

Great color combo, finish and BMF work, I like the look of the wheels, but they could stand to be a bit smaller, love the EFI 5.0 with Cobra intake. -MJS

Yes I am, when the new batch of bodies starts rolling out, one of them will get converted. I have a few other projects to tend to, but it shouldn't be long. -MJS

I used to think the same thing when I saw a car park in a disabled spot and a normal looking person got out and walked away, not that I ever confronted anyone on it. But that was before I became disabled for almost three years with a nasty neurological condition. I looked normal, but wasn't. I couldn't drive a car, so I never got a card; but I learned fast that there are all kinds of disabilities, not just the obvious ones. -MJS

The Chi-Coms confiscated nearly the entire diecast tooling library of GMP several years ago, and so far, none of their products have shown up unauthorized for sale anywhere that I'm aware of. And if the Danbury Mint models materialized in that fashion, it would be very uncool to buy stolen intellectual property, no matter how tempting the price. -MJS

You have mail. -MJS

Neat little cop car. They might have made functional city units, Phoenix had a fleet of Celebritys in the mid '80s, and those couldn't have been much faster. -MJS

Thanks Mike, and stay warm! -Mike

It's been a mystery since 1965 why there was never a '65 Comet kit, a great oversight has been righted 49 years later. I'm hoping that Moebius does a better overall job with the shape of this series of car than Trumpeter did with the Falcons, being a little too large and square. -MJS

I built this real one for a friend about ten years ago. Revell doesn't always get their proportioning right, but they did here, the kit captures the entirely different Custom series body very well. -MJS

Beautiful in every way! -MJS

Tough looking Falcon, the color, stance, and wheels are right on the money. The Webbers would make it an exotic street car. -MJS

Those low prices had a high price after all, eh? -MJS
