Austin T Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Does anyone have pics of the auto world stuff on the other shelf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I see some potential kits for me, will have to see when they hit the shelves. Gotta agree that the iHobby show is not about plastic model cars, and without Revell, there is very little to see there. I enjoyed walking around the show back when it was in Chicago, but figured out years ago it was about many hobbies and not just my addiction to plastic models.

Casey Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 (was Lindberg even there ??). I saw J. Lloyd listed on a previous attendee list, but the latest list doesn't show them, so they probably didn't attend. Not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Kren Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 If you've never been to an iHobby show before I can understand how the limited amount of model cars could be a shock but I've been to the show several times and without Revell there would be little reason to go. The big question is, what reissues is Round 2 coming out with ??? That is really the only news here, I wasn't expecting anything new from AMT/MPC or Lindberg (was Lindberg even there ??). no lindberg either how could you push the model car hobby if you dont have the companys come and aftermarket stuff too Don Yoast was there selling vids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pack rat Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Is that a corrected body on the '58 Plymouth??? Or are my eyes deceiving me? The trim appears straighter than the last issue................... Sorry, your eyes are deceiving you. The kit on display came from an AMT/Ertl box; the only modification was the removal of the Belvedere script from the rear quarters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope you are wrong, I'd love to get a kit of the older 53-56 C series. If this is a box art mistake it is a huge one like putting a 1960 Corvette on the box for a 1970 Corvette kit.

vypurr59 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Was really disappointed by the lack of support from the aftermarket companies. Small turnout for the model contest. I did take a third with my Kenworth. The winner was the Willys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle potts Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 It looks like that the C-600 is 1/25 scale ! This will lead to many different versions of this box truck. Farm trucks with a flat bed ,stake beds, grain trucks . There are far too few truck kits out there. Anything new is a welcome site to me. And I've got all kinds of ideas for this one. Now to get the images and voices in my head to slow down a bit so I can focus. (Mama ain't going to let me buy a case of these.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 The C600 has been discussed over on Spotlight. It's been determined that the picture on the box is actually a 1/34 scale 1rst Gear diecast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramcharger Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I passed on going at the last minute, I even had a bunch of models to display. I talked to my local hobby shop owner on Friday night and he said it sucked, so I stayed home. Too bad, I was really looking forward to it. I thought about just going up to hang out with you Cleveland guys, but I decided the trip from Columbus was too far to justify. I'm heading up the the IPMS show next month.

hooterville75 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Wasnt the Belvedere in the movie Christine a 1957 Plymouth Belvedere ? I sure hope so as I actually have a restored 1:1 57 Belvedere because of that Movie. Painted identical and all. Would suck if its actually a 58 lol.

Longbox55 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 No, Christine was a '58 Belvedere, though many sources mistakingly call her a "Sport Fury". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a car because of a movie but you aren't sure what car is actaully in the movie? That's like having a Wayne's World Pinto, Back to the Future Chevette, or a Mad Max Holden Commodore.

Longbox55 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 The cars used in the movei were Belvederes and Savoys. Also, in 1958, the Fury was only available in Beige and Gold, not red and white, which was a Blevedere/Savoy combination. The trim on the car is also incorrect for a Fury. Here's a screenshot from the movie compare that to an actual Fury. Notice the gold trim and different hubcaps. The mirrors are also different.

hooterville75 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Ill take photos and post them. I got the 1957 because thats what was available to me. I thought thats what it was. However I seen someone mention that the kit was a 58. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
