CabDriver Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Another little update from Atlantis on that one: The color they chose reminds me of the color the Rommel’s Rod was molded in! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can-Con Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I hope they do another issue with regular chrome plating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Are those "copper" parts even plated? To me they look painted with (burnt) copper paint. Steering wheel looks like it is "gold" plated (likely standard aluminum metalized plastic with clear yellow top-coat).

Mr. Metallic Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Just for some possible clarification, Burnt Copper is different than straight up copper. It typically has a slightly mottled or tarnished appearance which I think the production sample shown by Atlantis simulates well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Is Atlantis reissuing the Uncertain T? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 5 minutes ago, Classicgas said: Is Atlantis reissuing the Uncertain T? Pretty sure tooling is long gone. Per those at RM many years ago. A clone could be done....but not what Atlantis does right now. Add to it licensing issues with original builder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Van Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 1 hour ago, Greg Myers said: Licensing to who, for what ? The original builder of 'T' is alive and a bit 'Different' fellow that has been planning for 15 years to make a new model kit of the car. He is also known for litigation.....the perfect storm I bet Atlantis has no interest sailing into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim boyd Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The Uncertain T tooling hit the scrap pile, probably in the late 1970s per sources I trusted at Monogram when i posed this question about 25 years ago.... not only that, I have a theory on why the kit might had never been reissued (beyond licensing issues), as explained at the following link....TB Building the uber-rare Monogram Uncertain T album | Funman1712 | Fotki.com, photo and video sharing made easy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Bartrop Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I have a bunch of Model A engines, I've accumulated for all those Revell '29 pickups. I think I know just what to do with this. Those engines will also be very useful. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phirewriter Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) I picked up a couple of the Rattler kits and the plated tree is closer to clear red over chrome. The "chrome" was very difficult to strip as well requiring at least 2 rounds in the strip tank. Glad to see this kit out but very disappointed that Atlantis didn't just go with chrome.
