Neat Loco, Steve. Rum lookin' little Thing, isn't it?

I'd just be happy with a Mercury 4x4 Truck, myself.

Thank You! I need to find some.

I think it might be the other way 'round. The Custom is from 1977 I think.....

Sharp Ride, Dave. Congratulations on the new Car!

I really like that Impala, Billy. What paint did you use for the Green?

Great Job! You see this kind of truck pop up on Craig's List here in Bakersfield fairly often. Usually 10-15 years old, very low mileage, used mostly for towing the Toy Hauler and Buggy, or Motorcycles to Pismo. They are clean and well cared for and are a bargain when you find them. They sell quickly. Alberto, you just Nailed the look of these Trucks. I'd say you scored a direct Bullseye on your stated Build Backstory. Excellent Job! Good Show.

It is NOT the old Aurora kit. Revell was quite clear that this is an all new tool. I cannot wait for the Civilian Version either. Mario, this is a fantastic Job, on this kit. Good Show.

I'd have to look at the '78 Pace directions, but I believe you are correct, Steve.

I've watched the 11'8" Bridge channel for years! Hours of Fun.

Dave V. If you look at the linked Instructions you'll see the the 4 door Vette is different tooling than the TD Vette. In Fact, I think the 4 Door derives from the Monogram Corvette Street Machine (kit 2259)

Just Awesome!!! I really like that! Good Show.

Don't Worry Bob, it will tank again.

I think this explains some of it. But, not all.

I love the colours! Green on anything makes it look better. Your Boats are wonderful. Good Show.

You are one up on me. I've read about the video, but have not seen it. I don't use Facebook.

Somebody mentioned something about Wes from Wes' Model Car corner claiming to have seen them. Not sure if there is any video yet. It is all just talk for now, but we are getting closer.

TD Corvettes. Looking at instructions online, it appears that the '65 Black Rat, the Corvette SS Hatchback and the TD California Street Vette all share some parts and similar tooling. The SS Hatch and the TD Street Vette have many of the same part numbers. https://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/1004/monogram-2212-corvette-ss-hatchback https://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/233/monogram-7504-california-street-vette https://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/1649/monogram-2724-vette-black-rat And the 4 Door Corvette America, which seems to be a different tool. Note the Changes in Rear Axle and Air Cleaner. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/monogram-instructions/show-rods/monogram-corvette-a/?view=roll#1 Hope this helps.

Thanks. I have not bought any there lately.

Looks like Atlantis has done the hard work of recreating the Tires and Wheels that were rumored to be the reason that Revell never brought back the 1962 MOPAR Models. If they are truly coming back, that will be another Nostalgia Home Run. And, IIRC, Tim Boyd highly recommended the '62 Revell kits as "Main-Streamers". It will be good to have them back 60 year old tooling or not.

And, what is a bottle of Testors at HL, Now?

Wow! This is Huge News. Bringing back the "Snake & Mongoose" will jump start sales for both experienced hobbyists and newbies who have been priced out of these classic kits. Big Atta-boy to Peter V. and the crew at Atlantis that put this deal together. You know they have been working on this for months.

I really Like this. Great Chassis work.

Here is the engine from the Ford Truck. Looks like a long transmission.

What a rare & interesting Locomotive. It is a wonder any survived. Great Save!
