Could it have been the Olson Brothers or Fireball Models? I think they're both still in business but I don't know how to get in touch with them.

One of my first jobs was as a medical supply delivery driver. I drove an old 82 version of one of these. It was a 300 six with the three speed column shifter. It wasn't speedy, but it never broke down. I have a couple of this kit waiting to do a replica.

I bought several of Revell's other tractor kits, in hopes of encouraging them to do more. Now I hope they'll do a series of American tractors as some of them were either built or imported into Europe and the UK as well. I'd love to have a couple of Ford 9Ns!

I'll get one, even with all the shortcomings. I like seeing these old trucks hot rodded and can see a couple of ways to make this one interesting. What I really hope is that MPC will backdate their Deserter to produce a mid 70s two and four wheel drive version.

I have a nostalgic attraction to Monogram's old 1/24th sports cars. Their Datsun was one of my favorites of the batch. Love your builds.

Until I looked it up, I forgot how small the tires were on older cars and how high they rode. My dad had a 1968 Mustang and he talked about how he had wide tires on it. I found a picture of it a while back and those wide tires were probably narrower than those on a stock Camry these days.

Not sure where the mental glitch happened, I guess I'm going senile. The pack in the photo literally said Evergreen on it and I was still searching under Plastruct.

I wonder if Salvinos has these molds too?

Thank you! I was looking for it as Plastruct not Evergreen. Appreciate the help.

How did I miss this kit? I didn't know they made a Square-Bird. Looks like you are making excellent progress, have fun on it!

I'm thinking of making a Winnebago and I'd like to use something like this. Years ago someone sold this sort of plastic in larger sheets, like 12x24 or so. It has raised lines on it and would look pretty close to the stuff used on a 1:1 Winnie. I bought some when building a spaceship for a failed low budget local TV show. Now that I'm looking for it, I can't find it anymore. Am I just overlooking it?

There was a Texaco station in my hometown that looked like the one in the picture when I was little. It had survived being torn down and was still in use. This station was built in the late 50s-early 60's and my dad told me it had been delivered on a flatbed truck and assembled on site. The whole thing was made of white enameled steel panels. The panels were probably 8 feet each and were embossed in a 2x2 foot pattern. I think it was finally sold, dismantled and moved somewhere else to reassemble. The reason for this long story was that Plastruct has a sheet called sidewalk, I think. The pattern would come close to those 2x2 panels. It might be a good option to use, bonded to balsa or maybe modelers plywood.

Looks amazing with excellent paint and love those wheels!

I think I remember that. I used to steal my uncle's Car Craft magazines when he got through with them.

I definitely want one of these! Are the windows precut or does it just have scribed lines? I keep asking Round 2 to backdate their current issue of the van. Maybe some day they will.
