    I wonder if Revell could include the bench seat interior with the Superbird, just for something different?
  2. 64Comet404
    You should have been over at AMRO, Edgar. Bill had both versions on the table (definitely was a surprise to see them there!)
  3. 64Comet404
    The basic engine can be found in the Revell 1989-90 Ford Thunderbird/Mercury Cougar kits. You would need to scratchbuild or design an intake manifold, but there may be one available through one of the 3D print people. Good luck!

    It does, but there are builders who are switching to the Big Six (available in the Model King issues) because it was a more common powerplant in the 1:1 Mercury trucks.
  5. 64Comet404
    If you don't turn the model over, no one will notice the C4 transmission. If you really need a correct C6, you can find one in the AMT '66 Fairlane or Monogram '69 Talledega kits.

    It will be nice to have the '57 Chev back in the line, lots of good chassis and running gear parts in that kit. Other than that, nothing for me.

    You could order all the same engines in the Mercury as in the Ford. There were probably more sixes and smaller V8's sold in the Mercury line, due to economic factors in Canada, but ordering a M-100 with a 360 or 390 was definitely possible.

    I like Steve's tip for the BMF, but one other recommendation is to use a smaller blade for cutting. I had used #11 blades for years, but when I switched to bifocals my depth perception went out the window! I found a shorter blade, like the one on Tamiya's Craft Knife (made by OLFA), helped to cut down on my errors. Hoping the tips encourage you to try some BMF work, Bill!

    Agree whole-heartedly with you, Chuck. All these little Japanese cars that never made it to North America in large numbers, and then they drop in a kit like the first-gen Honda Civic or Mazda RX-7! I never thought I could want an Isuzu Bellet until Hasegawa made a kit... The Entex kits are fun blasts from the past. I never had the RX-3, but I had the Cosmo and RX-2.

    The convertibles were discontinued, because it was felt the Chevelle line would be more popular. IIRC, the Nova SS was initially discontinued at the start of the '64 model year, and then brought back partway through the year.
  12. 64Comet404
    But it's so roomy in here, Chris! ?
  13. 64Comet404
    I would love to see Moebius give the parts to convert the Nova into an Acadian. Anyone else?

    Ontario had a free exchange program for plates that were 5 years old or newer. I think it's a minimal charge to get new ones. I changed my last set of plates for my current ones at 4.5 years, and the replacements still look great after 6 years on the car. Illegal, but many people keep riding on them. Then one day, that person will come across a constable with a ticket quota, and then...

    Has there been any word on the 'Eleanor' '73 Mustang from the original Gone in 60 Seconds? Hoping it comes out soon for all the bits missing from the Boss and 007 versions!
  16. 64Comet404
    The Bond and the Robin are mechanically related, but the Bug is smaller.

    When I bought my tractor kit, I went to the local dealer to pick up a can of Fendt Green aerosol. It's all AGCO, so if you don't have a Fendt dealer, a MF dealer can get it for you as well.
  18. 64Comet404
    Correction noted, RSchnell. Thanks!
  19. 64Comet404
    I'll buy one to go along with my other tractors. It must be a bit of ancestry in me, because the majority of my family hasn't lived on a farm for over 80 years. Just something about them...

    The majority of the chrome on a Model A was nickel-plating. Kit chrome would be way too bright for most of us, but we are the builders who would know.
  21. 64Comet404
    Great looking build, have one of these kits on the bench as well!
  22. 64Comet404
    I am looking forward to the Model A kits, but hopefully we will get a few more body choices. A Victoria or an A-400 would be nice, along with a Fordor. Hopefully ICM will do more Fords, but I would like to see a model of the Ford Y and its variants (right up to a stock 93E Anglia/Popular). Plenty of body choices with that running gear!

    That generation of Ontario licence plate is probably more accurate if you leave the decal off. Notorious for the covering peeling off the plate in a very short period of time.
  24. 64Comet404
    There's a really good set of Quebec plates available from BonLey Decals. I don't know if they are still in business, but I hope so; never picked up their more recent era of plate stickers.
  25. 64Comet404
    The conversion parts look fantastic in the pics I have seen on FB. I'm sad that Chris will not be making the trip to NNL East this year, or I would have been stocking up on these bits.
