Model Forum / General / Models / January 2008Rommel's Rod is coming back!
The thing about is that you can actually picture the Germans building a half-track limo: http://www.moebiusmodels.com/rommels_Rod_Model_Kit.php If you saw that in a book of German military vehicles, and it would look right at home. Should have a couple of Kettenkrads as a escort, and The Ark Of The Covenant being towed behind it on a trailer. ;-) Pat >The thing about is that you can actually picture the Germans building a >half-track limo: http://www.moebiusmodels.com/rommels_Rod_Model_Kit.php [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Pat why do i smell a big price? :>The thing about is that you can actually picture the Germans building a :>half-track limo: http://www.moebiusmodels.com/rommels_Rod_Model_Kit.php :>If you saw that in a book of German military vehicles, and it would look :>right at home. : : why do i smell a big price? Because they command big prices on ebay? I really wanted one of these a few years ago, but then I really looked at the one on display at a (now defunct) lhs - what a piece of garbage! Monogram went really cheap on this kit. I wonder what took them so long to decide to reissue it? Bruce  Signature------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I like bad!"

I'm guessing that Moebius has reverse engineered the kit from a build-up since 'everybody' has wanted one for years.

Monogram's odd cars were to be looked on more as toys than models...the company could turn them out fairly fast and cheaply, and they sold very well to the same audience that bought "Rat Fink" models.

Oh, well. That is a different kettle of fish. Perhaps it would be worth getting one of these, then.

They've been talking about it for a while. Yeah making a little trailer to be towed behind it would really finish it off I think. It needs just a little bit more. Yeah a little trailer that is just Filled with Beer Kegs or piled up with Cases of wine. That would look Soooooo Very KewL pulling something. I'm waiting to get one myself when I can ...
