Daddyfink Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Hate to say it, but, I want that Space 1999 1/24th scale buggy! And the Wedge Dragster as well, and yes, I know he never had one in real life! But who cares. Everything else is blah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt agree more. Aside from the new Camaro kits, there hasnt been anythng from AMT I want. Tho I still like to pick up the reissue of the '67 Shelby when I find one. I've spent far too much money this fall on kits already....I'm hoping nothing more new comes out this year that I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta be happening in 2018. 3 hours ago, pack rat said: It will look great in the back of a pickup, and the guys at Round2 know it.......maybe some day.... The '50 Chevy pickup is a very good modern-era kit, and a great source for an early '50s Chevy inline six.-, and a great kit for kitbashing if nothing else.

espo Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The '57 Chevy kit is nice to have again but disappointed that they were unable to include the chopped top from the first issue. I'm glad to see the Chevy pickup back and since I used to have a Union 76 station and eventually went to work for Union Oil Company at one of the distribution centers I'll have fun with the decals in that kit. The Buick looks like one I may want to build also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Kourouklis Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) So I backtracked and found the Lindberg Baja boxing of that GMC Sonoma, of which I was blissfully unaware at the time. Guess this is one reissue I'll hafta pick up. Thought I heard tell some place that the earlier of Lindberg's '90s 1/20 molds were cut in aluminum or some other metal less durable than steel, and that their shelf life would be considerably shortened relative to more conventional molds. Then again, how many early '90s S-series trucks could they have pressed? Edited December 5, 2017 by Chuck Kourouklis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much all of them, they did the Nissan, the Toyota(I think?), Ford, S10/Sonoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Kourouklis Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Actually, Jon, I was talking specifically about the volume of those 1st-gen GM S-series truck kits, and how many they ran through those molds (assuming the aluminum story is even true). IIrc, think it was allegedly the Stealth/3000 and those first square S-series that were from aluminum tools, and all that followed came from steel. Have some difficulty imaging millions of those first-gen GM trucklets sold, you see - particularly when R/M came to the party with theirs in 1/25.
