You're right, most of them seem to be a variant of that. Thanks!

Thanks, BIll!

I think our best hopes are for Round2 to continue making improvements to their series of trucks, or for Revell to go all-in starting with the upcoming Stranger Things Blazer.

Thank you, David. Thanks! Thanks! My new Iphone 15 has definitely made photography easier, especially with it's zoom features compared to my previous Iphone XS. I wish I could do better with lighting when taking photos.

Thanks! It's very common to see these old trucks with some kind of bumper and/or rear window sticker. -
Thanks! Thanks! Your unboxing vid a few months ago in part drove me to get to working on this one. Thank you! Thank you, Alan! I appreciate the comment and it makes me happy when people recognize the details.

Nice, can't wait to see it done. At least the AWD wheels will still be accurate for what you're going for.

Thank you!

Here's my latest, a 1990-1991 Ford Taurus in Arizona Department of Public Safety livery. I used the Rescue 911 version of the kit as it comes with the correct 1990-1991 interior and has some good police car parts. I did some body work around the wheel wells to de-SHO the kit and turn it into a base model. The wheels (which have separate center caps), front and rear bumpers are 3D-printed pieces I had designed and printed by canuck3D model parts. @Wylde did an excellent job on these. He will be listing these parts on his website (https://wylde.ca/) in the next few weeks. Push bumper is scratch built, light bar is a Dave Panek piece, and decals are a combination of Inquarters and Chimneyville. Unfortunately the door decals on the DPS Tauruses were smaller than on other vehicles , so I trimmed what I had as best as I could to make them look the part.

Molotow Pens not Shiny
av405 replied to Olderisbetter's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I bought 3 a few years ago when they first came out. 2 of them went bad within a year or so but the 3rd is still going strong about 5 years later. I rarely use it since it's not my favorite chrome "solution," but that pen must be a one-off to have lasted this long. -

Thanks! Ramp truck sounds good. I don't think I've seen someone make a model of one out of this particular truck.
