Next round from Round 2

[Brett Barrow]

We got these in this week, so should be hitting your LHS next week.

First up is the MPC "Class Action" Monte Carlo, box says it can be built stock, looks like a '79 or so(with T-tops ), box doesn't say what year. Comes with a neat little Honda chopper and trailer.

Next is the Super Sno-Sport snowmobile in 1/20 scale 'nuff said

Plus the AMT '60's TV USS Enterprise in the retro box, has a huge decal sheet with a dozen or so other ship names, plus "mirror universe" markings, if you're into that sorta thing!

I want 1 of these I like these Monte's with the t-tops, I will probably buy a few.

Does the Monte Carlo have 1 headlight per side or 2?

I had a 1979 Monte Carlo (Single headlight per side) model years ago and wouldn't mind finding another one since there is a real 1979 Monte Carlo sitting in my parent's garage.

Please let me know,

The "Class Action" Monte is a 1980 Brett.

Thanks, my grandad had a '77 and an '83, knew it was somewhere in between!

Thanks for posting the picture! It answered my question perfectly.

I have the same kit already, except it is the RCHTA release.

***The following is based on the kit I have - I have not seen the new kit***

As far as the T-Tops go in the kit, you DO NOT have to build it that way! The model comes with a solid roof and you have to cut the top for the optional T-Top parts. The Landau top is also a separate piece that you don't have to use if you don't wish to.

As far as the bike & trailer, I have found that the Honda CB 750 engine is a good representation of a real one, but if you want to put a bigger tank on the frame, you're going to have some major work to do. The frame also has some fitment issues, but those are easy to overcome.

The trailer also needs to have the missing parts of the frame sides added for it to look like an actual trailer, but this is an omission from the original design of the kit.

Hope this helps,

-Scott H.
