here's one i hadnt seen before

Great discussion here. All model companies had a large price increase a few years ago, so use your coupons. I have been building car model kits for over 50 years and have found poorly molded and poorly engineered kits from AMT, Revell, MPC, and Johan. Very disappointing to open a kit and see how little detail there is or how poorly it is molded. It takes the inspiration right out of building it. Also, some kits by these same companies are excellent! The Revell Mopar kits of 68-69 Darts, recently reissued 1/25 scale 70 Cudas, 68-69-70 Charger, 71 GTX, and 69 super bee are great. The AMT 71 Duster is excellent with the best 340 engine. The AMT/MPC 70 Coronet is excellent as well as the late model "Kit Cars" of Petty and Cushman, except for the obvious Dart grille on the "Valiant" kit car. The Moebius Mopars of the mid 60's in their various forms are as well engineered as the Tamiya kits from Japan. Lots of our favorite old super stock and A/FX cars! Time to get busy building, and encourage some youngsters along the way to participate in the hobby.
