Danno Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 That's probably ok. I have plenty to start or build to keep me busy True, Gabe. Don't we all. I don't think anybody's stash is shrinking.
DrKerry Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 True, Gabe. Don't we all. I don't think anybody's stash is shrinking. Shrinking????? don't say such a word!!!!
disabled modeler Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 The hobby lobby in near me carries Moebius.That's promising . I really hope mine starts carrying Mobius kits.... My 40+ year stash has shrank big time ...thanks to burglars.
charlie8575 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Looks like a mid-late spring stocking time, eh? I'm really looking forward to these. Charlie Larkin
my80malibu Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 My LHS is taking preorder's already. They gave me a two week timeframe.
mikemodeler Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 My LHS is taking preorder's already. They gave me a two week timeframe. That is interesting. I thought somewhere Dave Metzner said he was sending the final corrections back to China around the beginning of this month. If that timeframe is correct, I would think it would be at least 2 months before we see any kits arrive, with production and shipping taking some time.

mk11 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Maybe he/she is thinking of the '78 4x4 re-issue... mike
mikemodeler Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 any news on the 69 short wheelbase yet? That will be the Model King issue from Dave Burket, I suspect there will be some kind of announcement when he has them ready.
Matt T. Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 That will be the Model King issue from Dave Burket, I suspect there will be some kind of announcement when he has them ready. I'm hoping Dave's hoping to have them for NNL East (4/26/14). Model King usually has a big vendor area at that show. Fingers crossed!
mikemodeler Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I noticed that the latest update is showing late April on these kits, hope they get here soon!
mk11 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Wonder if it's gonna come with those 80's mirrors.... looks like my 1:1 mike
RodneyBad Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Wonder if it's gonna come with those 80's mirrors.... looks like my 1:1 mike Is it just me or does the windshield look a bit short? Chop Top?
mk11 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 That pic is a mock-up from about a year ago and amazing in itself but don't judge the kit by it .... mike
stang_crazy Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 to me it just looks to be the shadowing and the lil bit of overhang from the roof causeing it to look that way.
2000-cvpi Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Is it just me or does the windshield look a bit short? Chop Top? I think the windshield wiper arms are way too thick, I'm not going to buy one now. They ruined the kit. The nit picking of a kit that isn't out yet is more than out of control.
impcon Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Let's just be grateful that this is filling a black hole in the model truck scene. This looks a lot more accurate than a lot of the other stuff that has been issued by different manufacturers. I say "Thank you" for listening and for taking the risks associated with something brand new being developed. The AMT 70's Ford trucks weren;t exactly perfectly proportioned but guys sure do pay for them these days.
