Just amazing that he keeps perpetuating the myth that resin models will "melt" in hotter temperatures. With that said, his 1/64th scale KME model looks extremely promising!

Mike,

He’s a salesman pushing his product, should you be surprised?

That said I agree the IR KME looks to hold some good hope for us collectors!

True, but he also sells a lot of resin models, so there is a tinge of hypocrisy there. ;)

E-51 now expected mid/late September. Hopefully.

 I'm guessing the Iconic Replicas KME will go for less that $100 considering the run numbers. Frontier only ran 500 units of their product.
The Iconic KME look to be listed at $100.00, and the model itself looks more accurate and prototypical then the Frontier. Come to think of it, it’s been almost a year since Frontier opened orders and I’ve yet to hear of anyone receive or reviewing one?

I wouldn't bet on getting one of the models from Frontier.

One of the several reasons I did not order one!

Mine finally arrived today. Very nice piece. A flyer in the box shows the upcoming Chevy Ambulance & Crown E-51 (1/50), & lists a 1/50 model of the firehouse. The firehouse will be too large to end up here, but looking forward to the Crown & Ambulance.

Thanks for the pictures. I always like to see the "real" thing instead of the pre-production photos.
