Tom Geiger Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Perhaps the M.K. '69 since it will have that 5k "Limited Edition" tag, Who said 5000 kits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Who said 5000 kits? That has been the number of kits that the NASCAR kits were run at, I suppose the '69 might get run at a higher rate, but he's paying for them up front and then has to sell them later. 5000 kits @ $10 a kit is investing $50,000, and while I'll will not pretend to have any knowledge of Model King's finances, that's a good chunk of cash to have tied up.

Tom Geiger Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Yea, we're gonna be needing a mess of those! Dave had told me that they specifically didn't do the stepside version because that 1953 AMT box fit perfectly, and was still valid for these years. There were some minor changes in that box over the years, but nothing that would be seen in scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Can you imagine the feeding frenzy when these kits hit Ebay??? It will be nauseating, I am sure, to see what the first ones sell for. Probably so. I'm going to wait for the dust to settle and then buy one. My LHS already had the Chrysler NASCAR version on sale with a $5 off sticker on the box. The stock version was still full price. The Hudson's also had the $5 off sticker on them. That only put them in the under $20 range though.

unclescott58 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) OK, after seeing how well the AMT '53 box fits on Moebius' '69, I'll need two of them when they come out. And still one of the '71. Scott Edited July 14, 2014 by unclescott58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...I'll probably pre order a couple of these when Model Roundup has them available for po. I'd like to do one stock and one w/ a step side bed.

hpiguy Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Picture on left taken of the kit from well above the roofline and to the side of the fender. Pic of real truck on right taken from nearly bumper level and more to the front of the truck than the left pic. Either way, looks more than close enough to me. Still buying it.
