gtx6970 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Another good subject. I want it , almost as bad as the 70 Cuda ( almost) I personally would love to see a 1968-71 Dodge pickup
Harry P. Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Dave, you guys at Moebius are truly injecting new life and excitement into the hobby. Keep on doing what you're doing, because the folks are digging it big time!
mikemopar70 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 We have announced the first of Our Ford Pick-up truck releases at Toledo over the week end. That truck will be a 1971 8 ft bed Ranger XLT - Big Block automatic 2 wheel drive. What we didn't show at Toledo is the second kit. This will be a Model King Exclusive. it will be a 1969 Custom Cab short Bed six cylinder stick 2 wheel drive. Mock-ups for both kits are being done now. I hope to have them in my hands before Thanksgiving. Once we have reviewed mock-ups and made any corrections needed I'd like to hope that tooling will be under way by Christmas. If all goes well we could have first test shots by mid February next year. Our hopes are to have kits on store shelves before the end of the second quarter of 2013 Wish I had a pile of great photos, but these kits are only 3d computer files at this time. As soon as the Mock-ups get here I promise that I'll put photos up.. Thanks, Dave These pick-ups will be very interesting subjects, it's good to see some new pick-up tooling! Can't wait to buy mine!
Austin T Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I have both the hornet and the 300 and I'm almost done with the Hornet.I just love the quallity and uniqueness you guys put into your kits,the quallity is second to none with only minor flaws.You have a customer for life right here.I also like how the sign said "First in a series of trucks" I'm pumped up about that. Any plans on a camper or trailers for this truck to pull/or a flatbed or something?
01blueedge Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I will be keeping an eye out for the test shots and I cant wait until they hit the shelves I wll be buying a couple of both
Casey Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 The straight six Ford engine should be worth the price of the kit alone. (Yes, I know about the Kitchen Table Resins offering )
Fat Brian Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Is the Model King short bed going to have a full issuing so it doesn't shoot straight to $100 for available kits like the 79 reissue did?
blubaja Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 You guys are on a roll!! I'm not a huge fan of the kit's you are choosing to make, but it's great to just build a different kit once a while! Thanks! Keep sticking to it!!
Jordan White Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Unless a 4WD will be part of the "series of trucks", then the long bed should have been a 4WD and the short bed a 2WD. Otherwise, I'm very interested to see what the mock-ups look like!
Chuck Most Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Okay... did I actually just read what I thought I read? Not one, but TWO Bumpside Fords? One with an 8-foot bed? And one with a STRAIGHT SIX???? I don't think I need to say I'm good for at least two cases of each.
Rob Z Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 AWESOME news Dave, a million thank you's to you and all involved...
jeffs396 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks Dave!!! Great news from you guys, keep those unique subjects coming! As the poster says, first in a series. Now we know what the second is...sure hope a first generation Bronco is under consideration also
Maindrian Pace Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Never thought I'd see the day. I shall own many! -MJS
Guest Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Way cool! Is Mobius still going to do 50's land barges?
Chuck Most Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Now we know what the second is...sure hope a first generation Bronco is under consideration also I'm not into counting my eggs before they're chickens... but if anybody finally does produce a first-gen Bronc in kit form, my money's on Moebius.
Austin T Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I'm not into counting my eggs before they're chickens... but if anybody finally does produce a first-gen Bronc in kit form, my money's on Moebius. Iwould be all for sevreal of those.Resin ones are reacing sky high prices.
disabled modeler Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Dave those will be must have items here....oh yeah!
AzTom Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 The 69 I once had. I will also need 2 for the 6cyl 67 with a 71 grill I had.
Chuck Most Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I've already built six each of these kits ('69 and '71) in my head. Is that good or bad?
Casey Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I've already built six each of these kits ('69 and '71) in my head. Is that good or bad? Weird, maybe...but we have to consider the source. I think a 4x4 version (from a different year) may be possible down the road from Moebius.
Danno Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 This new Moebius series is great news! A huge hole now plugged.
