Why?  Just wait until later this year when Round2 has another 'look what we found moment' and re-issues it but with better decals and pad printed tires....and cheaper!  (No I don't have insider info....its just the way it seems to work)

Seriously I wanted the Chevy Luv kit.   Years went by and I found two at a toy show had a built white one with a cap and an orange one with the step side bed.  I went for the standard bed......a year later Revell reissues it!

That one got retooled into the 4-door version for Dukes of Hazzard, and has since been reissued ad nauseam, in all sorts of variations.  Ain't coming back.

(I know: THEORETICALLY Round 2 could clone/recreate the coupe body/interior, as they've recently proven they're capable, but there's about a thousand other subjects that would be more worthy of that effort.)

I got my Fireball Modelworks order in a few days ago, and these seats from Pro Street Hobbies on ebay today. I'm pretty impressed with the seats, and Fireball continues to amaze me with the quality of his stuff, just absolutely fantastic.

[TransAmMike]

Some nice stuff there Craig.   The Fireball parts have a great reputation and sure look good.

Got this kit . I have one in my unbuilt stash but wanted one to build as a picture I found . 

[cobraman]

This arrived a short while ago . Ordered in on Tuesday and got it today ( Friday ) . Burbank House of Hobbies . Good service . This is the pre painted version . I hope it builds up nice when I get around to it .

I never got a sticker either. But I never bought a $439 kit from them either. Interested to see how this one looks when you unbox it. Looks pretty good so far from what you have posted!

[cobraman]

I know the front fenders are not quite right. No charge for the sticker !

[kelson]

Today's arrival,never knew Aoshima had kitted this version??‍♂️

Great kits Ray!

[Gramps46]

Way to go Ray!  I just noticed that the Fujimi Cobra kit shows CSX 4000 on the windshield in the artwork.  That means to me that the kit is based upon a continuation  chassis.  Did not expect that.  

[Bills72sj]

I got this yesterday. I will not be using the wrecker portion. I just wanted the Ford truck with the smaller sleeper.

Yes the Cobra is a huge disappointment if you are expecting it to represent an original 427.  The is a hilarious review (at least I thought so) of this kit in a MAMA monthly newsletter written by Rich Wilson.  I’ll see if I can find the issue.

Those look quite handy.

[mchook]

I got another box of old goodies. Some crazy builds & I think I know why, it fell out of the boat.?

[Snake45]

So THAT's where all the Double Dragster kits went back in the '60s! And it looks like many of the Allisons, too. 

This guy had quite an imagination! 

Anything complete enough to be cleaned up and displayed as a nice survivor?
