High octane Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Not recently, but I do know that it will be released and on the shelves long before I build ALL the model kits in my "stash."
Art Anderson Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 It's in the works, tooling corrections based on test shot reviews. Art
OutaFocus Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 First year for the Street Hemi in production was 1966.
Daddyfink Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 First year for the Street Hemi in production was 1966. Yes, but the first race version was used in 1964
stevez Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 There's going to be a race version of this one, coming after the initial release- super stock (?)
Daddyfink Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 There's going to be a race version of this one, coming after the initial release- super stock (?) I would buy more of the race version than I would a stock version. And it would be a crime if they did not make a Stock Car or Drag Car out of it.
tim boyd Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Steve and Jesse: While I don't know the particulars in this case, I do know that Moebius is generally tooling 3-5 kit versions of each new tool, right out of the box (that is, the tooling for all versions of a specific kit tool - like the '65 Satellite - is done up front, at one time). So you can pretty well surmise that there will eventually be other versions of the '65 Satellite, probably spread a year or so apart for each version. If the Satellite is done similarly to the way they are approaching the different versions of the '67-'72 Ford Bumpside, the '61 Pontiac Ventura and Catalina, and at least one other kit yet to be mentioned in this level of detail, I suspect that there will be much to love, eventually, about various future versions of this Satellite kit.

Dave Metzner Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 1st kit is a big block wedge, automatic..Satellite 2 door HT - street car. second test shots due to be in my hands around christmas..
80mirada Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Can not wait, I am working on the 56 300b now, and can't wait for some more moebius kits

TIM there is also the 65 Comet.
Craig Irwin Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 1st kit is a big block wedge, automatic..Satellite 2 door HT - street car. second test shots due to be in my hands around christmas.. A super stock racer will be easy then, decals are allready out there.
FASTBACK340 Posted December 21, 2014 Author Posted December 21, 2014 …..and at least one other kit yet to be mentioned in this level of detail……... TIM Was this a slip of the (cyber)tongue about something from Mobius we don't know about? It must be a challenge to keep info quiet 4-8 months before it can be disclosed…..
FASTBACK340 Posted December 21, 2014 Author Posted December 21, 2014 I'm looking forward to adding this gem to the pile. Mobius has been the company to watch, and continue to support, of late.

TIM Seriously speaking here: Any more, these days, it's a pretty rare thing for any model kit manufacturer to hang it all out on a new kit subject with just one version possible. The economics of developing, tooling and producing a new model kit just don't allow that to happen, profitably, very much these days. Art
Craig Irwin Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 So, who's going to be the first caster with a resin AWB racer?
Rob Hall Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 So, who's going to be the first caster with a resin AWB racer?there are already several casters doing them.
Craig Irwin Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 there are already several casters doing them. Not from this kit.
Rob Hall Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Not from this kit.true, but on such a race car, very little would be common with the street version.
Craig Irwin Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 true, but on such a race car, very little would be common with the street version. That's why I don't expect Moebius to do an AWB kit. But these cars were factory efforts and used more stock parts than you would think. I built a resin 65 Dodge AWB, and the rest came from one Lindberg 64 Dodge kit. Although the chassis gets sliced and diced it is pure 65 Mopar.
