Mr mopar Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 New one coming box art work ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Well, that's interesting. Figured if this came back it would be Coca-Cola. It used to be USPS, but i guess they couldn't get the licensing for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincen47 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Glad this will be available as a tractor again. Decent box art, except for the rear axle, not sure what they were thinking with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Looks like they copy and pasted it from the front wheel. Must of been a car person. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseeJerry55 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Doesn't the side view of the C-900 box also have what appears to be the front wheel on the drive axle as well? Or am I mistaken? Edited September 29, 2020 by JerseeJerry55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Looks like it's just subpar "depth perception" in the box art. Dayton truck wheels look similar front and back, except that the rear wheels are concave and have a little less "center mass" compared to the fronts.

PettyKW43 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I actually would like to see more original box art like this ! Love the reissue stuff but this is a breath of fresh air on old familiar kits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 The kits rear axle hub is fine for a C 600, but you really need to upgrade if you want a "REAL C 900" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Where can you get C900 hubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) I have always been a fanatic when it comes to big rig wheels and axle hubs, the first thing I check out on model kits. There has been a big improvement lately due to the aftermarket. Here are some hubs that I have purchased over the last couple of years. ( left to right ) is Scenes Unlimited, Moluminum, Double Take, Double Take . Double Take is presently not available, website is closed.

GMP440 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 When was the last time this kit was out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tractor itself was last out in 2008, the trailers came as a set of doubles relatively recently. It appears 2002 was the last time the set (single trailer) was sold together.

Sledsel Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I just scored the tractor online for $30..... Figures, but I figure I did okay. I imagine this will have the Lindbergh trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine this will have the Lindbergh trailer. No it's the AMT 27' Trailmobile Post Van, originally from the 70's era issue of this combination that was liveried for the U.S. Postal Service. Or it's one half of the Double Header Trailer set, however you wanna you look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
