JTalmage Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 All of the sudden I can't seem to find them anywhere unless it's really expensive... Discontinued already? Or did I miss something?
Repstock Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 They are indeed sold out. I believe the 1970 version is sold out as well, or close to it.
High octane Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 I believe so, as there's a saying: what you see here today may not be here tomorrow.
Fat Brian Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 The 69 and 70 were Model King special runs so were probably a much smaller batch than the 71 was.
JTalmage Posted April 12, 2016 Author Posted April 12, 2016 Well... nuts. Hardly any stores carry model king stuff and so I could never find one. Oh well. Maybe Moebius will eventually have an all-inclusive kit with all those parts... would be nice.

Who knows how long. Steve

If not I guess it's mail-order for me.
JTalmage Posted April 13, 2016 Author Posted April 13, 2016 I checked ebay yesterday. 1 kit for 40+ dollars. No way. Don't need one that bad.
StevenGuthmiller Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 I checked ebay yesterday. 1 kit for 40+ dollars. No way. Don't need one that bad.Don't give up so easily.If you want one, I'd keep checking.Others will likely turn up. Steve
JTalmage Posted April 13, 2016 Author Posted April 13, 2016 I have 200 kits.. if I don't get one it's no big deal. I need to build more than I buy....
Art Anderson Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Were all of them limited productions??The Moebius SWB F100's with the 300-inch six are exclusive to Model King at this time, therefore the number of kits produced is in his hands--in other words, they are a strictly limited quantity. Moral of the story: When you see that Model King is getting an "exclusive" such as these and you WANT one--do not dilly-dally around.Art
StevenGuthmiller Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 I need to build more than I buy.... Good philosophy! But not always so easy to adhere to! Steve
