• Any word on release of the Mooneyes dragster? I have learned the kit should also include the parts Pack 392 Hemi, or..........
  • Why would they include a Hemi in a Mooneyes dragster kit? Did it ever run a Hemi? *NM*
    • Atlantis is re-issuing the Revell Parts Packs which included the Mooneyes Dragster and lots of other engine kits.... *NM*
      • They are reissuing the dragster as a complete kit. The original kit was made up of parts packs and included two complete cars...maybe the inclusion of an extra engine is to help make up for the reissue only containing one car *NM*
        • Thank you Mark, that's the answer I was looking for because I don't think I ever saw the Mooneyes dragster with a Hemi. What is still not clear to me is whether the box will be marketed (licenced) as a Mooneyes kit or a grouping of parts packs. *NM*
          • From what I have seen, it will be marketed as a car kit and not just a bunch of parts packs. The owner of the Moon name, shop, and trademarks would likely be in on it, which would be smart (get the name out there a bit more) *NM*
    • The Moon car was simply a Dragmaster mass produced chassis (the real car ) , there were MANY other engines used. *PIC*
      • a few Dragmaster cars *NM* *PIC*
        • : a few Dragmaster cars *NM* *PIC*
          • One of the OTHER original Revell parts pack kits with the Dragmaster chassis and the Hemi *NM* *PIC*
            • ANOTHER Revell Dragmaster kit! Attempt 1 *PIC*
            • Like to see that Fiat rereleased, was that only available in that kit. *NM*
              • Nope.... The Fiat body was also available as a Parts Pack item. *NM*
                • Is it better than the AMT Fiat in the Double Dragster/Fiatsco kits? *NM*
                  • YES! The AMT Fiat is a stock type,The Revell is a Cal Custom fiberglass version. *NM*
                  • I'm with Old Dragger.... For my money the Revell body is much better for a fuel altered build, over AMT's offering...*PICS*
                    • Thanks much, the pics really outline the differences. *NM*
                    • Re: I'm with Old Dragger.... For my money the Revell body is much better for a fuel altered build, over AMT's offering...*PICS* *NM* *PIC*
                • Since the Fiat was also in a parts pack, I wonder if it might be rereleased also. *NM*
      • I thought the Moon Eyes chassis was a little different with a second hoop added. *NM*
        • MANY others had the second hoop, when you ordered a Dragmaster chassis it was an extra cost option. Mickey Thompson had his Pontian Hemi Dragmaster with the second hoop. *NM*
          • Yhe Thompson / Dragmaster Pontiac Hemi. *NM* *PIC*
  • I haven't heard anything but it's on my 'Must have' list! *NM*
  • According to the thread over on MCM, it's listed as April. *LINK*
