I'll confess to some confusion, here - I was under the impression that replacing slides, etc, from older tools was a more difficult and expensive proposition in many cases compared to a new kit

Round2 New Stuff video from IPMS Nationals *LINK*
- Good info there.......new tooling on a lot of kits.....thx *NM*
- Did you notice the Bluesmobile poster!! *NM*
- Finally have a way to do the AG/TLB '55, on the other hand the redone SS454 and shortbed '76 Ford pickups are also pretty neat *NM*
  - I really like the new '55, it is a very smart way to get more mileage out of an existing product
    - I agree, and listening to the video they didn't modify the tool to make the changes, they were able to swap in new side "slides" to do the trim delete and radiused wheelwells. *NM*
      - Well that explains the the unchanged chin. *NM*

        Probably tough to have the overseas personnel work with something they didn't create...they'd probably prefer to start from scratch *NM*
    - I may wind up buying most of the car kits. An idea to build a Twin Mill in US Air Force markings popped into my head while watching it...
    - Love it! AG, TLBT… and an easy segue to a short track stock car that littered the landscape in the late 1960s/early 1970s… *NM*
      - Reminds me of an early racer driven by a future NASCAR driver... *PIC*
- Who here is thinking of buying the Autoworld exclusive kits? *NM*
- Cool! There are some neat things coming out! *NM*
- Good use of tooling dollars *NM*
