gino Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I wonder how likely it would be for Round2 to re-release the Freightliner single drive. I'd like to get a few of those. X2 ! i'd like to have a few myself !
leafsprings Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Well Said! I have some moebius kits, just not big rigs because i dont like modern trucks, im just not that into them, especially the aerodynamically styled trucks lime the prostar and lonestar, and i am in no way a casual truck builder, thats basically all i build, old iron's what flips my trigger so i for one am ecstatic about round 2's reissues.I'm with you 100%, I just don't care for modern light weight aerodynamic wonders . I'll only buy re issues of old trucks an new kits of old trucks, case in point the Moebius F 100's. Does anyone know if this kit has been a success or loser with Moebius yet? I'm guessing they done pretty well with them. I am sure AMT had the chance in '71, when all the blueprints were still available, but dropped the ball. Its all water under the bridge now with what AMT chose to do and not to do, but it seems more and more like a case of bad management at AMT. I'm hoping Moebius comes thru on more overlooked classics, maybe a '73-'79 Chevy longbed pickup or ....................

Im kicking myself for not grabbing one in the first few weeks. I cant find one anywhere.
Petetrucker07 Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 The 69 F100 was a limited run. There is gonna be a few other limited runs. The 70 and I think a 68.
leafsprings Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 The Moebius F 100 is primarily the kit that got me back into modeling again, as well new resin truck cab offerings and re issues of large trucks. A benefit of the reissued trucks is the chassis can be pirated for older resin cabs that are offered, which boasts sales for resin casters as well. Bottom line, money talks, if the sales for these new Moebius pickups kits are a major success, which I think they are, they will be scrambling to do more never done before oldies!
Nova-ss Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 just wondering ifChrise has heard of any new releases for the coming year?,from the old AMT,Revell,Italeri molds.seems round2 always has some re-releases,that is mostly the type i am interested in,really love the old school stuff. harveybamen dude.......Chris
Nova-ss Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I'm glad to see the Papa truck but it'dones makes the over $150 I spent on two of the blue AMT K100s without the ramp body a pretty bad investment.try not to feel to bad....who hasn't done that....,Chris

Just need work to pick up, can't pay for things when I'm not working. I know the work thing all too well. four years ago I left the trucking company I was working for to pursue my old career fixing cars.that only lasted two years , then was unemployed for the summer of 2014. that was no fun.luckily for me the trucking company called me back when they found out I was out of work and hired me back.I got a job in the dispatch office as a dispatcher (on the other side of the fence !), and I only drive occasionally now to make extra money.
Petetrucker07 Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 I'm exploring other options. The company I quit to work where I'm at now call me every so often. Just a month ago actually.He bought a new polished set of pneumatic trailers, offered to let me order a Peterbilt and pay half my benefits. But, I quit there before, because of the way that old man operated, like it was 70s still. I've heard things have changed in years since I quit. I might go see him soon, see if things have really changed.

Petetrucker07 Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Oh boy oh boy oh boy. Can't wait. Hope I'll money when it's released. I really hope Hobby Lobby will carry it.
