looks like I can give the old wallet a rest for model and diecast stuff this month. That Mr. Norms Demon in 1/18 caught my eye a little bit though.

[RocketFoot]

That 71-73 Mach 1 at the beginning of the video caught my eye! 

[Mr mopar]

I see two kits to get Green hornet and the '70 Dodge challenger with new part rear Go wing  just wish Round2 would do a real hard top Dodge challenger 

[Sledsel]

Well, the Green Hornet is wanted to do a custom for sure. The exterior post trailer will be a future purchase.

[Daddyfink]

Rest easy Wallet, there is no fight here. 

And I sure do hope people step up and buy that Hornet thing. You clamored for it, now you have it. So buy it! 

[TonyK]

Yep, one Green Hornet for me!

[Tabbysdaddy]

I hope Hobby Lobby gets the '55.

No more 40% off coupons so no Hobby Lobby for me.

It's 40% off all models every other week. 

[Richard Bartrop]

Some good news for the space fans, though.

Nothing like that at my local HL.  Must be a regional thing.

Everybody everywhere says theirs does it. Yours would be the only one I ever heard of that doesn't do it. The weekly ad is for all stores (that I know of) and shows the sale every other week.

Okay, thanks.  I visit the store and see what I can find out.

Yes, the sale was the past week so this Monday starts the full price week.

[Jordan White]

Just go to the Hobby Lobby website and check out their weekly ad, it will show whether or not the models are 40% off that week.

Another month goes by and…. No 71/72 Road Runner… *sigh* 

 

BTW, I wonder if those 1/25 scale kits for October are re-releases or clones…

Reissues, except for the Green Hornet, which is an all new tool.

Expand  

A few minor things for strictly OOB build-ups :
- Incorrect engine compartment 
- Hodgepodge of 1967-1968-1969 tail lamp /valance 
- Incorrect, F-250-style 6-lug wheels as the option (thankfully, a nice set of period correct rims were added to the c.2015 ad seq. issues)
 

The kit's good attributes outweigh any of its shortcomings :
- Rare-in-1:1 "Recall" (W27) rims 
- Hurst Dual Gate consolette & shifter (in spite of the kit's having a 4-speed. This is an artifact of the kits' original issues which included a 225 six/ 904 'standard', and a 426 Race Hemi / 727 as the option)
- The only game in town for a '67-'69 Barracuda (though I'm keen on the hardtop and convertible styles those years more so than the fast back)
- Presents nicely as an OOB 'shelf candy' kit.
