Round 2 March 2022

[RSchnell]

Looks like everyone's wallet is safe this month- no car or truck kits at all!

 

[Rob Hall]

The Californian, ‘62 Bel Air Don Nicholson, ‘65 Chevy II AWB, and ‘71 Monte Carlo stocker reissues should be out this month. 

[Jim B]

I think I built both the PT109 & the Darth Vader TIE fighter kits back in the day.

Yes, I agree with you. Safe for another month.

I might get the Californian. Never had one, looks like it could be built into an interesting custom if I raid the parts box..

[Luc Janssens]

Hmm...next up the ex-Lindberg Blue Devil Destroyer?

Remember my dad building one in the '70s.....It was a mantle piece, until he replaced it with a total scratch-build USS Indianapolis in the mid '80s. Anyway I think he still has it somewhere.

Next-up the custom sibling of what once was a Pontiac Grand Prix?  Could harvest some parts from it if they did

I remember building that one, too.  Sailed it around in the pool.  It was pretty fast if I remember right.  The kit gets bashed pretty hard by "hard-core" ship builders for inaccuracies, though.

First month I'd say SLIM PICKENS!

IIRC my dad modified it to make it more accurate, he probably had plans he got through the US embassy.

I don’t recall GP based custom? Odd custom stuff in 65 GP. Which kit?

Holy S***! Somebody OD'ed on something.

[carnut]

Well my money is safe for this month at least.

[keyser]

Just because you CAN doesn’t mean you SHOULD. Lol. 
71 annual MPC all had Zinger-like add ons.

I remember bringing a '71 Charger home from the drug store. Dad looked at the box art and forbid me to use those parts on my build, LOL.

[Smoke Wagon]

I was thinking for sure they’d include the ‘49 Ford reissue in this month’s video.

The tool was later modified into the "Sweat Hogs" version.
