Well, so much for the "Free Wheelin' " decals in the Bronco.

It's got the original decals and the narrow style Free Whelin' graphics too.   You can see them on the box bottom if you look closely.

Looking forward to the Bronco. I may pickup the Gurney Lotus too. 

I’m a bit surprised the Rickshaw is coming back. Every time  I’ve seen photos photos of it in recent years, I’m shocked how “politically incorrect” that thing is. The box art alone is a bit embrassing. Sorry, if you don’t agree. It’s just my opinion.

Although I fear it will be on par with the Superstones F250, I'll be picking up that Bronco.

Dan....although I never built that Bronco kit myself, my observation at the time it was introduced and and since then has been that it is a pretty nicely done kit.  It was an all-new tool at the time of its release (1978 or 1979) and shared nothing with the old 1970's AMT F-Series kits.   Although I'm sure we'll get some more authoritative comments from Forum members once the kit reissue hits the shelves....TB

The box art and the real car are a total embarrassment!  George Barris did some cool cars, but some were utterly tasteless.

That is deeply unpleasant on so many levels.

What are those kits under the table ???

All I can read is Indy 500 Winner but nothing else.

That was my question.....a tease? I don't recognize them at all and I've got a pretty good knowledge of old kits. I swear they remind me of Ezra Brooks decanters.

I did see that. That's the only thing I was looking for in the whole announcement.

OK, so what's in there is this set,

1978-79 Ford Bronco XLT Free Wheeling Truck Decals Stripes Kit

 

While everyone was expecting this set,,

1979 Ford Bronco Free Wheeling Truck (with Chromatic Stripes)

Oh well. I guess that just means Ray will be selling more decal sets then.

Look closely? Pay attention? This group would NEVER!

Yes, I did see that Mr Duff. 

That was not the decals discussed in any of the discussions of decals included in this kit.

BTW, I don't make snide comments directed at you in posts you're involved in, I would expect the same courtesy from you.

That segment was recorded in a different location.  Those items down below are part of Tom's personal collection, not a tease for something coming.
