mk11 Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Great review, Chuck ! Fwiw, those box side nameplates are common for '70-'72. mike Edited May 16, 2015 by mk11
Dave Toups Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Model Car Garage is going to be doing a PE set for this kit.
Drake69 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Model Car Garage is going to be doing a PE set for this kit. I just went into my happy dance....
Austin T Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Model Car Garage is going to be doing a PE set for this kit. MCG is still in business? I haven't seen anything new from them in years.
Platerpants Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Photo etch parts for this? Its already so realistic. Sounds to me like there may be a big following in aftermarke & resin. Hopefully maybe a billet grille
Chuck Most Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I'm really hoping someone will do a photoetch and/or resin set to do a Mercury version.
Longbox55 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I'm really hoping someone will do a photoetch and/or resin set to do a Mercury version. There were a few guys asking about that on Facebook a few days ago.
Art Anderson Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 MCG is still in business? I haven't seen anything new from them in years. MCG is very much in business--they were at NNL East, showed test shots of a number of new PE detail sets there. Art

CTM Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 We at CTM have received our production sample today. As we have bulit the MENG's Ford F350 last year (see http://www.liaznavzdy.cz/nedtrans/f350gal.php ) we feel confident to compare these kits in terms of details and quality. Although the MENG's ford is really a state of the art kit (beautiful sharp details, one piece cab shell) and we thought this is going to be the best in ths range for the next few years we really need to say that the Moebius new Ford Ranger is of the same quality or even better than - I love the dash and the seat details... the single piece cab has a great sharp details and the rubber tires are one of the best ones I have ever seen on a small 1/25 car... and I love the retro box...!!Our compliments! I cant have to put my hands on it!Well done Dave and the team!Best regardsJanCTM
Austin T Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 MCG is very much in business--they were at NNL East, showed test shots of a number of new PE detail sets there. Art I kinda figured by their website (Last updated in 2012) that they had either called it quits or slowed down. What other sets are they working on and does someone have pictures?
martinfan5 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 MCG is still in business? I haven't seen anything new from them in years. They also have a P/E set coming for Mengs F350 kit
AzTom Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I already built a nice one, so... s That's how they looked in Ohio after one year. Two years and you see through the bed sides.
Platerpants Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Ohio never gets salt or rusty vehicles who are you kidding? Oh who am i kidding
thatz4u Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) I already built a nice one, so... Nice ol' beater truck, Chuck. How many advance kits do you have? The rest of us are still awaiting its' release, and you have already built TWO of them! Edited May 19, 2015 by thatz4u
Luc Janssens Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 How many advance kits do you have? The rest of us are still awaiting its' release, and you have already built TWO of them! Don't think that he got advanced copies, he bought the entire first run!
Chuck Most Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 One test shot, one advance copy. Wish I had a stash... I will soon enough.
Platerpants Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Chuck is one lucky guy i say, but we will all have our chance with this kit. Recently i have noticed an early 70s f350 dump truck on a local farm road i travel every day on the way to work its pretty weathered looking but changes position every day so it must still run or the owner gets bored and pushes it, may have to stop and get pictures one day and use this kit to build it.
Fat Brian Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Any release date on the Model King 69 truck? The site said late June last week.
Rob Hall Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Speaking of Ford pickups of this era..saw one today in traffic that would be a fun way to do a kit--it was a well worn, faded light blue '68-69 longbed towing a yard service trailer...46-47 years old and still on the job!
