SteveG Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Nope, this would most likely be a production sample. The manufacturer will air freight a case or two over in advance of the main shipment which rides a container ship from China. That way they can check them make sure everything's Ok before the boat leaves and send a few out for magazine reviews or test builds to buddies and folks who helped with the kit design. whats with all the missing parts? jb Yes, it's a production sample, I got mine today. The rest are either on the boat or being loaded up as I write this. As for the missing spots on the trees, those are definitely for future versions. You may even see the next one before the end of the year. If I was a betting man and a resin caster I would be working on a convertible ..... or a four door. Moebius has this one well planned out ! -Steve
Custom Mike Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I just want a couple of this kit...and how can I get my hands on a few dozen of the decal sheets? I could use the Satellite scripts!

kelson Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Not sounding mean,but this thread is turning into the same as the 71'ford thread people have them in hand,but no one is doing any W.I.P.S!and it's killing us who don't have one!
unclescott58 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Dave keep them coming. I can not wait to hear what you plan doing in future. I am going broke because of you. But, I'm having a great time doing it. Scott
mredjr Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Well I guess we are stuck with the windshield I talked to Dave and Moebuis when the first test shot came out and it still looks like the windshield in the Revell 54 Chevy. I e-mailed Moebius a picture of the real car sitting at the same angle as the test shot and the real car does not have a crown in the top over the windshield. I guessing it will be like the Lindberg 64 Dodge people will go out and buy 1 or 2 kits and maybe build them but will loose interest in them. I really hate to say that about a great company and what could have been a great kit.
Brett Barrow Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Couldn't see anything in Gerry' s pictures to tell. If you're looking at the box art car that would be from an early test shot (so they can get the box ready in time) so it might have been fixed for production.
High octane Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Although I like the '65 Satellites very much and there was a "drop-dead-gorgeous" one parked next to me last night at a cruise night. The Moebius kit whenever it gets here won't change my life one bit, as it's just another kit, and hopefully I'll get around to building it, just like all the rest of my model kits.
unclescott58 Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Boyd's review elsewhere here, has convinced me I need to buy one. Scott

Moebius has this one well planned out ! -Steve The first caster to do a wagon transkit for this will all but certainly be getting some of my money. I have to say I wasn't keen on the idea of this subject at first, but after seeing the kit in person, I might actually end up buying a couple of them. But for now I just need to settle on what to do with the one I have now... mild period street machine, or straight-axle drag car... Edited June 4, 2015 by Chuck Most
drodg Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Has anyone ordered one or more of these yet? I noticed Model Car Roundup doesn't show them yet.
Brett Barrow Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Nobody has them in stock yet. A few folks got advanced promotional samples. We're taking preorders, they should be in in July. http://www.megahobby.com/preorder1965plymouthsatellite125moebius.aspx (I need to change that picture now that the box art is done!)
Casey Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 The first kit and review is here, so I'm going to lock this topic. Please discuss further at this linked topic: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=102624
