jw78z28 Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 may have missed it in the 7 pages of posts, but is there a release date for the ford truck yet?
Fat Brian Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 No release date yet, there doesn't seem to be even any test shots yet but it is in the works. Knowing Moebius it will be out when it's ready and it will be worth whatever time it takes.

truckaddict Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Is it just me or is mobius looking to become a big time player in the model car/truck world? They certianly have done their homework with regards to subjects and seem to care about the products that they release. Every time i hear mobius I wonder if its another one of my favorite subjects they have decided to kit.
Olskoolrodder Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Which means they're doing an awesome job
gray07 Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 I cant wait until these come out, but i have a question, ive heard alot of good about mobious, it might be a stupid question but ive never built any of there kits or seen any in person but, are they resin kits or plastic like a regular model kit.
Fabrux Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Moebius kits are standard plastic, released in regular kit boxes. The Hudson Hornet and Chrysler 300 boxes are about the same size as the current Revell boxes while the Lonestar is about the size of two boxes. Instructions on the 300 are spectacular but the Lonestar's leave a lot to the imagination (the RoG reissue has excellent instructions, however).
Fat Brian Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 To me the 300 looks and feels like an AMT kit from when they were doing all their great late ninties and early 2000s kits.
Edsel-Dan Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 I definitely want some of these when out!!!! Now just do a Modern 67-72 era Chevy to replace the lost worn out AMT/MPC kits!!! Yes I want the 67-71 Dodge too!!!! (Squad 10 was one of these!!) Some shots show 51 as one too!!!!
Danno Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 These kits should be awesome. When it comes to kit manufacturers these days, Moebius is the money!
96f150302 Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 These kits should be awesome. When it comes to kit manufacturers these days, Moebius is the money! moebius is a great company i have the hornet kit i tlked to dave burkett on accasions he is planning to do a 73-79 ford pickup after the 71 f-100 kits with accurate long bed lengths and a short bed version with six cylinder and a 302 v8 option and he he they are gonna do a new tooling of a 61-66 ford pickup as well he said they may dew a new 67-72 chevy pickup but i have enough of those already but looking forward to the 71 ford there never was a kit made of that generation truck
Art Anderson Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Trust me, there will be a few announcements of new stuff from Moebius before the New Year ends in 12 months! Art

This is my absolute favourite Ford truck of all time!
Austin T Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Have we got any word on test shots or anything?Dieing for a look at this truck.
Fabrux Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I get the impression that most of their marketing efforts currently are devoted to getting the International ProStar to market. Once that hits the shelves we might start seeing more information about these.
Dave Van Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Still being worked on.........remember Moebius has a full line of model subjects......Sci Fi, Military, Fantasy and stuff like the 1313 Mockingbird and the coming Mel's. LOTS of irons in the fire!!!
RodneyBad Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I bet the Ford would look Awesome. I"d by One. Now when they do a Pre-1992 Dodge 4x4/2wd Truck, Then I'd go Crazy for them..
mikemodeler Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Trust me, there will be a few announcements of new stuff from Moebius before the New Year ends in 12 months! Art Art, Must you tease us like that? What ever they come up with is sure to be a hit and I am getting anxious to see what they bring us, this year and in the coming years! While it can be said our hobby ain't what it used to be, news of kits like these is definitely a sign that our wishes and voices are being heard.
impcon Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) My dad bought a bright red '71 F150 Custom long wide box brand new from Springfield Motor Products in Oakbank, Manitoba. he traded in our red and white '65 F100 lwb Custom Cab with a 240 and a four speed in on it which really irked me because I had a real thing for that '65.The '71 had a 302 and a 3 speed standard transmission and it was a slug, but I really came to like the looks of the truck and the way that it drove. It had no power steering or power brakes but it drove like a car and I was again really bummed out when he traded it in three years later on a used '73 GMC Camper Special three quarter ton. I hated that truck and how it rode like a tank and guzzled gas like nothing I had ever seen. <br />Years later, I owned a red '69 Ranger that was a gorgeous looking truck until I had an accident with it and I sold it about a year later. It was repaired and I used to see it around up until the last few years.<br />Today, I have a burgundy and white '71 Ranger XLT F150 that I want to make into a decent driver one day.I sure do like the '67-79 Ford trucks.. now if someone would consider making a '73-79 F150 Super Cab...<br />I'm really fired up about this pending release.. thank you to those who stepped out and who are making this become a reality. I, for one, have no issues with these trucks being five dollars more than an AMT or Revell kit. I think that AMT in particular has become too complacent with their following and lets face it - you can only release a '64 Impala or a '57 Chevy so many times before they become - well - kinda stale...??? R/M has made an effort but Moebius will leave them all in the dust if they continue to think outside the box and listen to the people who buy their products. There's definitely been some interesting stuff come forward during the last couple of years such as Trumpeter's '64 Falcon and the Moebius offerings. I think that the other manufacturers could learn a thing or two from these guys as far as diversifying molds to offer more new kits without completely retooling. the trumpeter Falcons and Ranchero is a good example of that. It's going to be an interesting year... Edited January 7, 2013 by impcon
disabled modeler Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 It will be a must have for me too................
c-man405 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 all of this stuff talking about this kit coming out but is it really coming out??? is is just like i think they are coing out with one? is there anything comfirming it?? carter
Dave Metzner Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I'm expecting to have tooling mock-ups in my hands by 1st full week of February. If there are no major problems tooling could start in April. I'll know alot more once I have the Mock-ups in hand.. Dave
