    What are the differences between the 2015 (NuNu) and the 2019 cars? Bodywork? I have one of the NuNu kits already, but if the Meng kit is different enough in appearance, I could be persuaded...

    Remove the hood decal and add a hardtop and a set of dog dishes with beauty rings, and that would be my High School ride!

    I will probably get the Kia Brisa when it becomes available here. I wouldn't mind having a model of the Kia I drive every day, but the market for that kit is probably...me!

    Those Classic Airframes 1:48 kits were a revelation back when they first came out, but all that resin combined with few locating pins made me happy I disposed of them when I did. I wouldn't mind seeing a new tool of a Fairey Battle, though. The JoHan Gold Cup classic series kits are some of the easier JoHan kits to find in the used market. The designers did a great job on the Mercedes and Cadillac kits, but wish they would have continued the series beyond the Chrysler Turbine.

    What be this "look at the instructions a second time" of which you speak? ?

    There are some good aftermarket detailing pieces for this kit, including resin and decals, on some European sites. I have one in the stash waiting to be built as a street version.

    They were imported by Craft-Master, which also distributed MPC kits back in the 1960s. MPC also had a few Airfix kits in their boxes, but I don't know if the MGB was one of those kits.

    You, Sir, are a glutton for punishment! Vacforms are miserable critters to build, but you have done this one justice.

    Jim Rogers already has a conversion set available for the Garage 56 car. Includes the winglets, mirrors, quarter windows, and other bits. He can be contacted at jim@salvino.us. No decals yet, but one of the companies is bound to make them soon.

    The best thing to do is to read this section, and ask questions if you are unsure about the provenance of a particular model. Scalemates is also a good source of info, but the information is user-inputted so it can be "apocryphal, or wildly inaccurate" (to borrow a phrase...)

    I'm pretty sure the '32 Coupe was reissued in the Custom Rides series, with the big tires and rims.

    I checked my original 1964 Mercury annual kit, and guess what? There is a sink mark in the passenger side fender! You can't win for trying...

    Modelhaus used to do this hood as part of the 1971 and 1972 conversions for the JoHan kit. Should have kept it when I sold my '70 442 kits.

    Be glad you're not on the waiting list for the Revell '71 Mustang, then...? looking forward to the Rover SD1, Porsche GT3 RSR and a whole bunch of new toys!

    I had an opportunity to ask my Dad about the car, and it was a bench-seat car. In my defence, I was a toddler when the car was traded in, so missing a few small details is probably natural. ?

    My family had a '70 Wildcat between 1970-74, red with a black vinyl roof and white interior. There's a good chance that the car was built here in Canada, so that may account for the difference in interiors. Don't have the pics scanned on my computer right now, but including a pic of the built model.

    The Matchbox Tunnan is a pretty nice kit for its age. I have one that's painted and assembled up to installing landing gear, which is where I lost interest in continuing the build.

    The only Revell-Monogram '67 I can remember coming with photoetch was the 1:43 scale roadster in the Ultimates series.

    Until tomorrow, the only one on the board who is certain about tooling is Steve G., and he's not talking before the announcement.
  22. 64Comet404
    Anything is possible, depending on Round2's tooling archive. The '63 F100 is gone, which leads me to believe the new kit will have a re-tooled chassis and engine. It could be an original body and glass tool, and possibly the chrome tree. All speculation until Sunday, of course...

    Another very fugly aeroplane; has an almost "Those Magnificent men in Their Flying Machines" type of vibe.
  25. 64Comet404
    Great looking build, looks almost identical to my first car.
