...with Matt from Greenlight earlier today. Inquired about the upcoming MCG5, which, he has assured me, should be out in the next 4-5 weeks. I asked Matt about my #1 concern--plastic tops, rather than metal, on some of the cars. The reason for this, he stated, is that it's more cost-effective. Thus, rather than spend more money on new molding, I surmise, why not just take the same vehicle, and later make it a custom convertible (or hardtop). Good point, even I must add.
Incidentally, as for the upcoming MCG5 castings, the '68 Mustang (Notchback) will have a plastic roof; the '67 (Fastback) A METAL ROOF---AND, LAST, BUT not LEAST--the '68 Plymouth Road Runner....will also have a METAL roof!!! Boy, am I excited! How many years I've waited for that car to finally surface in 1/64-scale!

Thanks ever so much, Matt, for taking the time to speak with me! And again, keep up the FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC work!

For me it's not the fact that some of the roofs are plastic, it's the fit that gets my attention.
Or more to the point DOESN't get my attention - if it's done right I wouldn't even notice if it was plastic.
