One minor gripe... it isn't a '37/38- it is just a 1937, with an optional '38 grille and hood treatment. A '38 Grille and hood on a '37 does not a '38 make. Okay. Off my soapbox.

This may sound like a stupid question, but is the chassis of this kit interchangeable with the Revell's 37 Ford Coupe?

I'm guessing no, since the cars are 1/24 scale and the trucks 1/25 scale.
At least the '37 Panel is being reissued.

I agree with you Chuck. I was quite bummed when I opened it and didn't find the 38/39 cab.

Well, I built the original issue of this kit a few years ago and it was a fun, no worries kind of build... Wish I had an entire case of them!

I picked up this kit a few days ago (after passing it over several times on the clearance rack), and I have to say I'm very impressed. I don't think each kit is supposed to include two sets of the narrow, stock tires, but I'm happy mine did as they are quite nice and will look good on lots of vintage dry lakes cars, too.
Not a huge fan of the '38 grille, though, as it protrudes too much for my taste and looks too bulbous.

Or the fenders. Good news is if you have a Monogram '40 and some '36 Ford fenders, you'd be well on your way to making a '38 if you wanted to do a ton of work. Which I guess isn't good news, merely so/so news.

I've always had a plan to take the '37 Coupe's front end, cowl and fenders and add it to the cab and bed of the pickup. The dread of the scale differences has kept me from it so far.

Does it come with 1 or 2 sets of tires?
Two sets of five, for ten tires total:
Both wheel styles are nicely done, too:
The steering wheel rim is delicately thin, but looks perfectly in scale:
The decal sheet's not half-bad, either:
All together now:

It comes with 10 tires so you can do the tandem dually conversion, Case! *cough*

I've thought of that myself, but since what I have in mind would involve chopping and cutting so much that nobody would really know what scale the resulting model would be, I might go ahead with it scale difference or no.
