Trailer Trash Kustomz Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Here's a resin dually bed for it I'm already making the 99 f350 crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotics_Builder Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 About time. I think that is worth a couple in stash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin T Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I saw this on facebook and did a happy dance. Finally the perfect hauler for the line of galaxie trailers! And as for a dually I REALLY hope they do one of those as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 If this kit does well sales-wise, I would think it might persuade Revell to tool up some new kits of modern trucks. Lets hope so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Judging by the top left tree, it's also going to be a 4X4! The box art and decal sheet both show 4x4 markings. It's a Crew Cab, diesel, 4x4! ALSO TWO wheel choices, TWO running board/bar choices, along with the option for a closed bed gate, or open with the tailgate "extender". Take my MONEY!

chepp Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I like it. The 1/24 scale is fine with me but I think that there are a considerable number of builders (or are they just forum posters?) who won't buy anything that isn't 1/25. I remember liking to build 1/25 AMT car kits with Revell 1/24 engines and wheels/tires because of their slightly larger size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbo Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Gee, I hope this kit is definitely going into production as the mock up looks very nice indeed!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 What's great is that since they modeled the F350, there are so many different things you can build with it (if they produce a dually version, like Monogram did with their '90 F250/F350, then ever more versions arise). I'm thinking I'll have to buy at least two, one to build stock and one to build custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Okay...I don't normally build trucks...BUT, both of my work trucks are Fords and my newest is a F350 crew cab...so, this is way cool!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 It'll be interesting to see how the engine goes together and looks - the engine bay on these diesels is literally completely filled! I am slapping a winch bumper on my truck this week...this is cool news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 It is fascinating..before today I'd never heard of Meng. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that they are planning a dually version if the sales are good, it only makes sense as they chose to do the long box version single It is fascinating..before today I'd never heard of Meng. Hey Rob, have you seen the 1:35th scale Toyota Hilux kits?, those are made by Meng, never paid attention to the company that made either tell now http://www.hlj.com/product/MENVS-002/Mil Edited January 30, 2014 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont either, I had seen them before while doing a search for Hilux 1:24th kits, but never looked who made the 1:35th kits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Rider Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 That's cool. Looks like the "to do" list just got a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooknladderno1 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Looks like my fire departments are gonna be getting some new rigs! Tons of possibilities between the long box, crew cab, 4x4, etc. Could make a regular cab, brush trucks, ambulances, rescues, Chief's vehicles... Need to start saving my pennies!

martinfan5 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 So many possible variations..stock, commercial...or how about some of these... Yes, I would build that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I hope not. We'll get the least popular version with the least options and have to buy three kits to get the version we want. I had never heard of Meng models before today. Looking at their test shot and parts layout, I'm impressed. I keep coming back to this thread and pouring over all of those parts. Personally, I sure won't mind $40-$50 for this kit. You are probably correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 MENG is releasing a 1:35 M2A3 Bradley with BUSK III Upgtade this month that's supposed to make every other prior Bradley look like a joke. It's 667!!! parts, and has a full interior and engine/drive train along with three sheets of Photoetch. HLJ has it for $72, proving the military guys pay, they get results.

zaina Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 So excited!!!! Now I can replicate the welding rig I drive for work. Here's a resin dually bed for it I'm already making the 99 f350 crew. What did you use for the rest of the truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I shall own several. How could this not be a good seller? -MJS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
