All I see is the huge gap between the top of the vent window and roof.  

Couldn't possibly have anything to do with the bottom of the door being tucked inside the body at the bottom of the door could it???

Looks like the next 1/25 kit (according to this old press release that I forgot about) should be what Atlantis describles as a "sixties All American '23 T Roadster".  Looking forward to seeing that one!  I nearly ran out of stuff to buy from them (although I have a couple of my wishlist once they update their Amazon store again...)

[Mr. Metallic]

My guess would be that would be one of mock-ups Mr Keeler showed at the IPMS show last year based on the former Tweedy Pie kit. Looking forward to more details Although based on that press release they missed the Q1 2022 release mark for the T based kit

Saw in my Atlantis email today that they’re selling the roadster chassis parts with the axles and suspension pieces, and the competition wheel set on their own, for anyone who might find those useful:

That first pic shows an extremely efficient use of space, I don't think I've ever seen a more densely populated sprue! Big Thumbs Up to that mold designer! ?

Purchased the chassis speed equipment from them directly. Has anyone gotten this?

Also, says the instructions are emailed?

Wish they'd offer the suspension parts plated.  The wheels all have ejector pin marks on the front side, and most of those should have a magnesium finish anyway.

Don't worry, original tires will take care of the Ejector Marks!

Glad to see these back, but I bought a boatload of 1960s original issues at semi-unobtainium prices, when the prevailing "expert" opinion was that the tooling was lost and gone forever.

Thanks Bill. Same to whomever bought the other reissues. 
Sad tires. I’ve not seen quick and dirty fix for melt, haven’t looked in awhile.

Only fix I'm sure of is wrapping the rim with BMF prior to assembly.

I'd tried a Q&D coating of a highly chemical resistant epoxy, but getting an even yet thin coat proved to be more difficult than I'd anticipated.

A coat of acrylic paint provides some barrier.  When I do wide whitewalls, I always paint down into the tire center. Flat clear should work for blackwall tires.

Hey, Dude!  Your left rear seems to have a slow leak.  

[Richard Bartrop]

Those suspension parts look like they'd be extremely useful for any number of projects.  A couple of extra backing plates would have been nice, but it's easy enough to cast copies.

I would never have said "lost", but would have said that the owners of them over the years would never do anything with them.  And, that's pretty much what did happen, until THIS particular owner came along.

Best thing to do would be resin cast the originals and be done with them.

Just got my order of the roadster chassis speed equipment.  Atlantis ships fast!!

Some more 1/32 releases announced this morning:

 

[rrb124@sbcglobal.net]

Haven't seen that many 1/32rds in a long time. Have only built maybe a couple decades ago. Handy size for display and storage.

[PintoKING]

Please, please, PLEASE reissue the Lindberg's 1/32!  (I sure hope they have the molds for those; ie '77 T-Bird, Cordoba, Granada, ect.)

Lindberg owned by R2. Stuff Atlantis bought is old Revell-Monogram stuff, not R2. Wrong tree, sry

[slusher]

I Just don’t see Round2 doing 1/32 cars..

Atlantis did buy some tooling from R2 but details were not disclosed. It would make sense  R2 would sell these molds......but only Atlantis knows for sure.

And their hairdresser. Lol. Ancient obtuse joke.  Who knew?
