250 Testa Rossa Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 Has anyone used the Hayden Proffitt decals with the Comet?

Even a vintage photo on hotrod dot com shows it, so it was there all along (not just a restoration mistake). The kit’s ”Cinncinnati” decals will need cutting and splicing, though.

My LHS still has a couple of the Beswick kits left, so wondering if I should grab it, or just wait for this new one since I don't plan on building it in either box stock livery. Expand They are Most likely Identical in every way except decals, but I haven't bought a model in over ten minutes ,so I need to have one.
Brutalform Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Does anyone know if there is a pre sale of this kit anywhere?
JJ Deuce Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 dang it, I want this kit just for that cammer.
stavanzer Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I too, am waiting for one of these kits. I don't care who's decals are in the box, as I am building a privateer car. I've got a Slixx Mini Gasser sheet with "Famoso Mob" markings just waiting for the kit.

Expand You might be able to find the Arnie The Farmer Beswick kit out there, if you don’t feel like waiting. Pretty much the same kit with different decals. That one is getting harder to find now, but there are some for sale out there.
Brutalform Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 It’s already the end of February. Hopefully the Dyno Don kit will hit the shelves real soon.

Expand Yeah. I just added the Dyno Don book to my library, so I'm in the mood to put a couple DD kits on the shelf, and this looks like an easy, no-hassle build.
Bill Eh? Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 I picked up the Beswick kit back in November at the Detroit show. I wish I had gotten a couple. Could the delay of the Dyno Don version be a result of Moebius now being in Pegasus' hands?

Expand From what another member posted on this forum, said that the headers were a bit tricky. Other than that, I’m sure it wouldn’t be much of a hassle. BTW, where did you get the book? I’d like to check it out. Edited February 26, 2019 by Brutalform

Could the delay of the Dyno Don version be a result of Moebius now being in Pegasus' hands? Expand Good question. Word on the street is they should be out within the first few months of 2019. I have two in my stash also. I did build the Dyno Don version when the 65 Cyclone kit first came out. I had to rework the inner fenders, and use a cammer from the parts box. It came out pretty good. I just want to get two of these when they come out. That way I can build two more versions, and have one of each in the stash.
Bill Eh? Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 It would be nice if they came out before the NNL East rolls around. I will probably buy 2, as well as a 2nd Beswick car. LOL

It was over $25, so free shipping (though no priority). They originally promised me a delivery date of nearly a month (March 9, IIRC, which isn't here YET), but I ordered it on a Monday morning at got it USPS on Thursday! I now have the Jenkins, Sox, Landy, and Nicholson books, and love them all. Can't recommend them highly enough!
Rob Hall Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Model Roundup now has the Dyno Don kit for pre-order, listed as a June release.
Brutalform Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) I was told they were going to ship by the end of March, and be on shelves and online by early April. I guess they ran into a problem? I’d rather wait than end up with a warped body, or some other defect. Edited March 28, 2019 by Brutalform

Expand Considering the only difference between this kit and the other Comet drag kit is the decals, I doubt the delay is anything related to the kit production itself.
Snake45 Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Let's go ahead and have this discussion now: What color exactly was this car? In all the pics I've seen, it just looks like a bright red, like Testor #3 or Model Master Guards Red, but was it something more specific, like Ford Poppy Red or something of the kind?

Expand I converted the non A/FX comet into the Dyno car, and painted it Tamiya Italian Red. It looks pretty close to all the pics I came across.
niteowl7710 Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 LHS said this should be in by Monday at the latest, allow the feeding frenzy to begin

It’s been a long wait. I believe this kit came out later than expected.
Brutalform Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 One eBay seller has them today, and they are already “almost gone”.
