tbill Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 short cab perhaps? maybe they figured no one would understand day cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Could it be a typo, and should be SD/DD since it says 2 in 1? It would be great to have both sets of parts in one kit. It would be great to make an extended frame tri axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 SC could be Sleeper Cab... but I like the idea that it's a typo and both the day cab single drive and sleeper cab dual drive parts are in the same box. Also curious about the significance of the "75th" in the kit name. It's about the right timing for Freightliner's 75th anniversary but I can't see Daimler Trucks allowing that on a kit with a competitor's name.

Aaronw Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 It would be nice to have all the options in one box. Most of my project ideas are dual drive day cabs, buying one of each kit to do that leaves me with parts for a single drive sleeper cab, kind of an unusual beast.

Mike77 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Interesting that they show a price for the combo kit that's close to the price of each of the individual kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niteowl7710 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Hobbylinc.com has them in stock now. I just ordered one so I can see for myself what's going on.They have the Dual Drive kit, and the Single Drive kit, but neither is the specific kit that's being discussed here. There's a listing for it, but it's a "1st Half of 2017" release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 They have the Dual Drive kit, and the Single Drive kit, but neither is the specific kit that's being discussed here. There's a listing for it, but it's a "1st Half of 2017" release.They were showing "In Stock" yesterday, and today out of stock (Unless it was some type of typo). I'm hoping that Rick can post some pictures when his arrives if it wasn't a typo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that Rick can post some pictures when his arrives if it wasn't a typo.It was a misprint, or a coding error that showed it in stock. It's not on the 60 day sheet (eg Jan or Feb release) at Round2, and Tower is saying "Mid April". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extmcdriver Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 There is something going on here. I stumbled across this kit through Hobbylinc.com. The kit WAS available last week when I ordered, now the kit is on pre order status. I guess we are all curious to see what this kit really is. Who knows, maybe the kit manufacturers are starting to listen to our requests. Stay tuned!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I guess we are all curious to see what this kit really is. Well, that I will agree with. Sounds to me like they are doing a special kit combining all the parts for all versions of this kit. The Dual Drive version was reissued in June of 2009 and is still a current item, so maybe Round2 is trying a creative method to get rid of excess slow-moving stock. As James said, this kit won't be available for a few months: Made By: AMT Item: 1046 Scale: 1/25 Apr - May Arrival Added to catalog: 12/6/2016 Recommended Age: 8 and up White Freightliner 2-in-1 SC/DD Cabover Tractor (75th Anniversary) Plastic Model KitPaint and Glue required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extmcdriver Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Terry, after ordering from Hobbylinc, the availability changed to pre-order status, oh well. I thought I had something going for a short while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PettyKW43 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Let's hope this kit does well and maybe we will see more 2 in 1 truck kits , how about a Peterbilt 352/359 combo. Kenworth w925 /k125 combo or even Ford LN/LNT truck/tractor/dump&plow ! There's a lot of possibilities. Boogity Boogity Boogity boys let's fill those parts boxes!!

Casey Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Let's hope this kit does wellConsidering there are still kits of the original DD sleeper cab version available from 2009, I wouldn't bet on it setting any sales records at the (likely) higher price point. Plus, the SD version was reissued last year, so the market seems a bit flooded at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 My Hobby Lobby was blowing out those DD Sleepers last year. I'll bet they had 8 of them for sale, and even at clearance prices, took a month or more to get rid of them. I'll hope they sell well, but I'm not a CabOver Builder so I won't need even the 75th anniversary kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodwrench3 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Unfortunately the Freightliner COE kits are a b%^&$ to build and take a lot of re-engineering to get them to go together right. I wish they'd fix that stuff instead of "perfuming the pig" by putting the same stuff in new wraps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I am a fan of freightliners, but not the early 70's version AMT chose to offer. If someone comes out with a nice mid 60's resin cab, I'll pull the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
