MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. Maybe I missed it, but where did the door handles come from? They look great.
  2. What colors and brand of paint did you use on the cab? I really like this color combo and can't wait to see how it looks with the decals applied.
  3. I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt that way.
  4. I sure wish there was someone who could offer more grills, flat hood, bumpers and such. I never did get any of the Olson parts. There are so many opportunities for this platform. Other cool parts would be the steel halfcab and the Terra top to replace the traveltop on the kit.
  5. I just subscribed for two years after seeing this cover. Scouts and Broncos.....good stuff!
  6. The B&R channel is Robert Nagle and his stuff is awesome. I have gotten so many ideas from his builds.
  7. Another item that works well to create a cold weather breather cap is a Chapstick lid. I love the build. The tires and wheels really make it pop.
  8. That style of dump bed seems to be found more on the west coast of Canada.
  9. With the issues with Olson Brothers, it would be nice to offer more grill designs for the Ertl/AMT Scout II kits. The bodies are pretty much identical from 1971 to 1980. IH did like to change the grills to reflect the various years. Reworking several of the grills to reduce the crown would be nice. Grills A and E were offered in the regular Scout II's kits but the rest have been left out. A = 1977-1979 B = 1980 C = 1973-1974 D = 1975 E = 1976 F = 1971-1972 The other option was the SSII grill which was an ABS plastic overlay for the E, F, and A grills. The kit is current and I would be happy to supply one for scanning. Offering the corrected hood (reduced front crown) would be nice too.
  10. I would like to see different aftercoolers to update existing kit engines. No kit engines have ever been made with these components. Cummins Big Cam aftercooler: Caterpillar 3406B http://fourtrucks.com/image/cache/data/inventory/4-trucks/engine/750-1982-CATERPILLAR-10041915/01-750-1982-CATERPILLAR-10041915-1024x768.jpg
  11. I love the Verdoro green. It is clean build. I wonder why Tamiya hasn't offered this kit for so long.
  12. Yes! I was hoping this kit would be reissued someday.
  13. The kits looks great and I like the fact you get lots of extra parts. I wonder why they did the dual wheels the way they did? I've never seen a 5 hand hole steel wheel in a 16". They are all 4 hand hole if they are 8 lug wheels. The older 6 lugs had three hand holes.
  14. Awesome! Thanks for the links. This is what I was looking for.
