niteowl7710 Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I've been waiting since December for my Lone Star and Pro Star.........I don't want to, but if the quality is as good as I've heard it'll for sure be worth while waiting on. I have two of the Moebius trailers in the box just waiting for equally good tractors to put in front of them. Why are you waiting on the LoneStar? That kit has been out for well over a year now.
Dave Metzner Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 ProStars should be on the water in the next few days - we just need to schedule getting them into a container and on the boat!

numbersman Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 I was wondering why the ProStar has been delayed and when it will be released.

Dave Metzner Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Sorry it's taken so long - sometimes things need to be fixed and it takes time to get them right - Had issues with frame length and hood / front bumper hinge arrangement - then issues with rear axle spacing - took three test shots to work out all the bugs - by 4th test shot I'm pretty satisfied that we got it right - Instruction book was another major undertaking - that work is basically done by one guy - not a staff of several graphics artists. The hard part is done now, so all we have to do is get them here and on store shelves.. We have several new kits in various stages of development beyond the Ford Pick-up trucks- Mostly car kits. look for announcements later this year. Edited April 28, 2013 by Dave Metzner

New model vehicals of any type are good with me. Ok, I was just kidding, more Big Rigs!
Pavel A. Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Only for information. Guys from Czech Truck Model prepared PE parts for this model (prostar). For Lonestar are this PE parts excellent (including interior colour parts). I can recommend it. Excellent work. Edited April 28, 2013 by Pavel A.
kilrathy10 Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Just happy they'll be here, soon....One of the best new offerings I've ever seen....Still can't wait, though...Thank you, Dave for taking the time to answer us....
ewaskew Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Good things come to us who wait's. They will be here when they get here. Keep up the good work Dave.
Luc Janssens Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) "Sometimes things need to be fixed and it takes time to get them right" While many of us are waiting impatiently, I'm pretty sure we're all glad you're taking the time to do the kit right. Edited April 30, 2013 by Luc Janssens
griffin Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Does anyone know if the chassis and engine are the same as the lonestar?? I know the exhaust and air intake are different. I have ordered an T909 from Auslowe and that needs an Lonestar kit as chassis donor but i like to buy the prostar because i have allready an Lonestar. The Prostar cabin i want to use for an stretched and lowerd custom truck on an italeri chassis. Thanks christiaan
IMPALASS89 Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Dave has moebius thought about doing a new trailer for hauling cars? Teh Revell one is nice but it is out dated just a thought the newer trailers have the cars over the rig on the top of it if I recall three of them on the rig and six on the trailer anyway I have the lonestar and I have two of the new pro star ordered from moebius thanks for putting a two great kits out

The chassis on the prostar is shorter than the lonestar from the pictures. Also the prostar has its front axle set back. Ben Just read the review of the prostar. The engine is the same. The chassis is definitely shorter. Ben Edited May 19, 2013 by Bennyg
IMPALASS89 Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Is this pro star still comming out this month? I seen on a few web sites it is now has a late June release date can anyone confrim this???

borz666 Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I saw the Revell boxing in the UK in my local shop at the weekend. Strange the Revell released theirs before Moebius????
