Model King '59 Imperial.

[Mark]

The Model King and Round 2 issues have more parts than the original SMP issue, because the annual was available as either a hardtop or a convertible.  The newer issues have parts for both included.

How many of the optional parts listed for the SMP kit, have survived to the Model King (and now Round2) Imperial? Does it still offer both the Rear Deck and Continental Spares?

Here's a bottom-of-the-box plan view of the parts in silhouette:

Thanks, Casey.  Looks like everything is still in the kit.  Now, I gotta get one.

[Casey]

Is this the first time Round2 has included metal screws for the old promo-style chassis plate mounting?

[ChrisBcritter]

Anyone have a good shot of the decal sheet? Looks like some dash or emblem decals?

Look in HPI Guy's video. He has a good close up shot that you can freeze frame.

Thanks man!

You know, the funny thing is there is a guy that may be on this very forum, goes by RetroJim real name James Catalano or James C on YouTube who berates me and cusses me out on EVERY single video (Round2 had to ban him from their FB for his swearing and odd sexual comments on posts) for showing all the parts and decals close up.  He goes off on long rants that I'm the worst human on the planet for showing all the parts included with every kit so that buyers know what is in them. Dude has issues.

Well I thought your video was excellent!  Exactly what I wanted to see.   Thanks for doing those.

Thanks man, yeah, it's a great kit and fun to work on too. 

It's hilarious what some folks will get mad about.

I want to shout out a “thank you” to HPIGUY also for his product review and how to videos. I find them to be very helpful.

Ditto. I subscribe and watch most of them. Hpiguy's video reviews on models are the best out there. He's seems like a down to earth guy, with a sense of humor I can relate to. Chris, don't ever let the naysayers get you down. Your one of the good ones.

I just dug out the RC2/Model King reissue I bought in the late 00's and was going to build as a mild custom, guess I need to finish it now....

 

HPIGUY was not joking in his video when he said it was nearly as big as the Ecto-1, may have to dig up my A-Team Van kit as reference and shoot a few pics

[Merc-57]

Same here, a BIG thanks to Hpiguy for his videos. I like them, they are both fun and informative. 

Right On Replicas is another YouTube channel You guys should check out, he's great too

Maybe the same punk who has been bugging me on and off for about 15 years. I do know his real name, he also uses several aliases. Have seen him post on here using one of them. He uses strange sexual innuendo as well. Has accused me of several crimes as well as using shill bidders when I sell on ebay.  States that since I'm a "public figure" he can say whatever he wants about me and there is nothing I can do about it. Oh, he also claims to be an attorney LOL. Found his phone number and called him up to discuss his personal problems and he started shrieking at me like a little girl.
