AAFC Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 If history is any indication,I would think at some point Moebius might release a Mercury Comet with an altered wheelbase and maybe fuel Injection? That has been the progression with the Plymouths-stock, either Super Stock or A/FX, then altered wheelbase. What are the chances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 There weren't as many AWB Cyclones as there were Mopars. We'll likely see the FX version with the 289 engine, but I wouldn't bet on any other versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Every Moebius automotive kits has 3 to 4 alternate versions tooled. What's next we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuces ll Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Would be really cool to have some engine parts packs from Moebius.... I'd love to have a 427 cammer with a Hilborn setup or one that's supercharged.... ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt T. Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I emailed Model King’s Dave Burkett back in March asking if he was ever going to release an awb Comet. He said “no, I’m done with the Comets”, but indicated that an awb Belvedere sedan is planned from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his was a rogue effort, done without the factory's blessing or input, unlike the Chryslers, which had the AWB Plymouths and Dodges built to order and issued them out.

Mark Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 The (excellent) Ramchargers book includes a partial reproduction of the "manual" used by the ambulance company that built the "factory" AWB Mopars. A lot of the privateer cars were built to the same specs. I'd like to see Moebius do a companion AWB Dodge, but I'm not holding my breath. I've got one in the works based on a Polar Lights Coronet, and have some MPC parts stashed, so I guess I won't be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% with the comment above. Since the Pegasus take over of Moebius, I don't see much new in the way of car kits coming from them. Where's the early to mid '60s Chevy IIs they were talking about before the merger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pandemic, maybe? Considering that they where coming from China, that would pretty much slow them down, as we saw with other kits.

The work has been done on this B/FX project and the results are equally impressive to the A/FX kit, in my opinion - e.g. no corners cut in authenticity. There will be more details on this subject in a new book that will soon be available....TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Myers Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I'd just like to see them get this one done and on the shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can, you know. I'm planning to build pretty much the same thing by kitbashing a Rat Packer and a bunch of other stuff. If I get it about 90% done, the kit will be announced. Wouldn't be the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i've done that twice. First one was the Corvette Grandsport, thank you Accurate Miniatures. Next was the Ford 427 Thunderbolt. thanks Revell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hack-n-whack Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Greg Myers, Please finish your Rat Packer Nova. I also started one. I wanted a stock wheelbase, so I moved the rear wheel arches back to stock location. I used a '66 Nova for reference. I needed a second Rat Packer kit to fill the void behind the doors. ( I used the doors for that). I used the '66 kit for the interior & chassis too. Another stalled project ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
