Moebius 1946/7/8 Chevy Announcements

Sounds about right. Stevens International and Hobbytyme both give me an MSRP of $49.99 which makes a $43 shelf price pretty much a going rate.

Erik, an easy modification to these kits in the future could be a split manifold & daul exhaust...

Absolutely getting 1 of each, maybe 2 of the panel version!!

Ooh, I definitely could see the sedan delivery in my future for sure

Bob...I don't think they are planning any updates, at least that is the way it sounded to me a while back when this project first got underway.  I'm pretty sure Erik will weigh in if that has changed since then....very best...TIM 

I would be happy as a pig in slop if some industrious resin caster, or 3D printing wizard would produce a conversion kit to build a '48 Pontiac Aerocoupe (Torpedo) version, I'd be happy if it was just a body conversion.

Unfortunately for us most ships with kits for domestic(U.S.) kit manufacturers unload in U.S. ports and then are shipped by land to our distributors thus they are hit with tariffs. It may vary if the shipment is from a manufacturer (Tamiya, Heller, Airfix, Aoshima etc) from another part of the world. Some may come through U.S.A. or may come into our own ports.

I just hope that the U.S. shippers don't stick their ransom on BEFORE shipping to Canada. Or there just might be a resurgence of bootlegging across the Great Lakes.😉

Happy to be able to say that these have landed at distributors and I have my stock in-bound. Really excited to be able to put these on my shelves.

The aerosedan has the separate wood paneling. This will also fit on the coupe very well, so if you build a fastback without the wood grain, save it for the coupe

That's great information to know. Thanks for sharing it!

Well, just as I said, they arrived this week. Unusually, Moebius has followed suit with European and Asian kit manufacturers in that these kits were NOT shrink-wrapped as delivered from the distributor. This also, of course, meant I had the opportunity to photograph kit contents. I elected to snap some pictures for everyone of the Fleetmaster Coupe to show how this reissue has turned out and it is a sharp one!

Nice to see plated parts in a newly produced kit. Seems that some other manufacturers are skipping that step.  I have these two kits from the original run by Galaxie (still unbuilt).

Thanks for sharing.

As usual, Moebius Decals are "Sparse".....

I wish they would put more effort into their decals.
