Now that Round 2 has seen fit to reissue the highly coveted '78 Super Stones 4x4, we'll finally be able to get one at a decent price. I was looking at my Model King re-issue the other day and, as this is the pinnacle of the line, decided to lay it out for a review. Those with earlier 2wd editions might want to add pics of theirs as well so we can see the evolution of these as this edition does not include the optional topper, side pipes, chrome wheels and other accessories from the earlier releases. We'll open this with a pic of the original Stones kit borrowed from the big auction site... Here's a pic of the model king reissue of it, with four fine examples built by mssrs Geiger, Wiseman, Goldman and Ahlborn... hmmm...sounds like a law firm The following pics show what's in the model king kit... The first thing evident in the MK kit is the lack of the original Firestone emblem on the tonneau cover. Other than that, it appears to be a straight reissue with Firestone branded tires (identical to the 'Commando' tires in the old Boondocker kit) supplied instead of the Desert Dogs pictured on the box. The basic 2wd suspension pieces are all included with an extra sprue tree engineered with the 4wd parts. These parts actually represent the F100 or F150 regular cab 4x4 front end setup and will need replacing with leaf springs to accurately model the heavier duty trucks. Drivetrain is the same 390 4bbl C6 combo common to all issues of this truck (not the 460 as claimed on some boxes in this series). This would be inaccurate for the 77-79 trucks as it was replaced with the 351M & 400 engines in '77. Of course, the 300 six and 302 V8 were optional in these as well as the 460 in the 2wd trucks. Rep stock fans will want to do their research on the rest of the drivetrain, among other things, as the divorced np205 transfer case is accurate for the pre-77 trucks only and should be joined to the transmission on the newer ones. The cab shows some dimensional inaccuracies relating to windshield height (too short) but AMT captured well the essence of the truck. The choice of F350 super camper special long wheelbase tooling by AMT is a strange one and will require major surgery on the box sides to correct if you want a normal looking truck. 1:1 pics for body proportion reference... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=80383 ...and a link to diecast 67-79 Ford pickups... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=78552 mike
