MCM Ohana (6/6)

    I was given one of these kits, new in the box, recently. I passed it along to another builder, since I knew it wasn't as accurate as other large scale versions. I think I can get by with the Tamiya kit as my only representation of the Gullwing in my collection, and another builder gets to have a large-scale 300SL on their workbench.

    Scott, the rectangle is supposed to be there on a '64 Comet, but it should be open at the top and sides. A similar opening can also be located on the front bumper of the 1:1 cars. It was probably included on the 1:1 as a means of stamping the bumper without tearing the metal. Here are a couple of pics of my Caliente when I was preparing it to be picked up by its new owner a couple of years ago.

    Finally tracked down a mint Tamiya version today, now let the Heller kits arrive!
  4. 64Comet404
    I would be surprised to see these being the Ebbro moulds, because they were not as accurate as the Heller pieces. The R4 sedan from Heller is definitely a different tool, seeing as it does not come with the Ebbro 5-cylinder engine and mix of early/late spec options.

    Please make it with tooling for two separate cabs (a day cab and the integrated sleeper). Much easier than trying to cut and putty cabs. To all those builders who have been hoarding the old resin/fibreglass cabs, better get building...

    If you are into early-1930's sport roadsters, this is one for you to consider. Good to see it back!

    By the time the 328 was introduced, most of the Austin DNA had been diluted. The 328 kit does have some great parts for builders of British cars, though, such as the six-cylinder engine (standard equipment in post-war Bristols from 400 to 405 series, as well as the AC Ace-Bristol [precursor to the original Shelby Cobra).

    I am looking forward to getting this one, having owned a pair of '64 Comets for a total of 38 years. I am hoping that an enterprising 3D entrepreneur will give us some of the pieces which Moebius did not have the opportunity to change from their '65 kit (such as the '66 inner fenders) and possibly giving us the Caliente side trim and teardrop hood to do the A/FX cars.

    There was also a 1:16 version available; believe both of these kits were also available in Entex boxing. Really looking forward to a modern 1:24 tooling of this car (and keep hoping Revell AG will give us the street version, hint, hint).

    It will be the version you didn't want, and the moderators may need to be called in. 😁 (I'll probably get both, so it doesn't matter to me).

    Canuck3D Model Parts has a set to convert the latest issues of the Dodge van into the 1986-93 version. I may have to get one so I can build the service van I used to drive when I was younger. https://www.canuck3d.ca/mopar.php Note: Deliveries to the USA have been suspended until people figure out what is happening, so shipping could take a while...

    I use the Bob Smith de-bonder. It can discolour polystyrene, so I try to keep from flooding the area. If the model is heavily glued, I would attempt to dismantle the kit as far as you can before attempting, and grind away as much of the dried glue as you can.
  13. 64Comet404
    If the glue joints are not too thick, I have found the de-bonder fo CA glues does a good job of breaking the old glue joints.

    I sold my customizing kit years ago, but from memory the most that has been changed is the grille. The rest of the kit was changed with fins and other add-on bodywork.
