First Look Inside the Box - Moebius 1964 Mercury Comet Full Detail Model Kit

Pleased to be able to share with FineScale Forum readers an advance look at the new Moebius 1964 Mercury Comet Pro-Touring full detail kit.

At this link is an album of 45 images showing the kit including each of the parts trees, tires, decals, and each step of the kit assembly manual.

Pretty hectic right now here at the Boyd ranch, but will keep an eye and try to answer any questions you have after checking out the photos.

Recommend you use the “roll view” feature at the Fotki site to quickly scroll through the images in a consecutive order/presentation.

And thanks to the Moebius team for giving us an advance look at their new kit, which should be available soon at your favorite model kit source.

Best…Tim Boyd

Thanks for sharing Tim! That is a nice looking kit. Was looking at getting the Chevy Fleetside kit with the wood paneling, might have to get this as well when it comes out. Do you know if Moebius will do additional variants with this kit like they have done before?

Hi Nuc…I don’t have any specific knowledge about Moebius Models’ plans for additional variants of their 1964 Comet tool. But if you look at their track record with their other kit toolings, virtually every one (except perhaps the IH Pro-Star, if you consider it a mostly different tool than the LoneStar) has eventually generated additional releases. I would not be surprised to see a 100% showroom stock Comet, an A/FX type variant (licensed or phantom), and possibly others over the coming years. But those are just my thoughts; again, no knowledge here on their specific future plans…TIM

Here is the one I built last November (2025). I used Tamiya TS-75 Champayne with Krylon Gloss Burgundy interior and painted side stripes. Great kit. I would recommend it.

That came together very nicely. Those colours work very well together.

Thanks @Frozin. I wanted something a little different than the box art. Don’t see too many model cars this color. I like the pro-touring style customs. This one was great right out the box. It didn’t need any aftermarket add-ons. I wish the model companies would market more of this style… :thinking: A 5.0 Coyote engine would have been nice in this kit.

These guys didn’t leave anything out of this kit. Separate door handles and badges are a definite plus. LOTS of detail in this kit. Thanks for sharing Tim.
