Jim B Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Interesting. I actually considered picking one of these up the other day. Didn't though. Looks like it has some potential. As for decals, well, Model Truckin' to the rescue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Too bad the hood doesn't open. Are there aftermarket engines available for these guys (1/32)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrathy10 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Can't wait to snag one of these, now.....Thanks for the pics..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Real Model of the Czech Republic makes a 1/35 Detroit Diesel 8V92TA for the Hobby Boss HET that might work. It's a full engine & transmission, and is €28 ($39). So it's about double the price of the kit. http://realmodel.cz/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=garden_flypage.tpl&product_id=477&category_id=19&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIL 111V Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Nice to see this one box "combo" back, after nearly 30 years. Monogram did a great job with this 1/32 truck'n' trailer series, great looking kits for "snappers" . Revell price is pretty good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Yeah, I know, these are "just" snap kits, but I don't care- they look really good when built, and they have just as much potential as a 1:24/25 full detail rig kit. I don't have this one yet, but I've been messing around with the Ford AeroMax 120 kit, turning it into a day cab tractor- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Guess I "need" this kit now, because I remembered seeing this earlier in the year, and I think it might be a good jumping off point- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Guess I "need" this kit now, because I remembered seeing this earlier in the year, and I think it might be a good jumping off point- It would take a lot of work in the front, but that might work.

Chuck Most Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I might just leave the kit front end- I think it looks better anyway. On the other hand it would be a cool challenge to build it with the set back axle front end like the toter home. Maybe get two kits and try both?

Trucker Al Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Wouldn't mind find in one of these kits! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
