stavanzer Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 That Ford is the Italeri kit, reboxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I like the Ford kit, and have seen some nice builds of it. I think my single complaint about it, is that there don't seem to be many choices for 1/24 American-style trailers for it. I normally don't care about scale, but a 1/25 trailer on a 1/24 cab is a noticeable difference in scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I see only two U.S, Style trailers listed, so you are correct. https://www.italeri.com/en/product/2397/7/34 https://www.italeri.com/en/product/589/7/34 I am guessing that in true Italeri fashion, this is the same parts, sold in 2 different boxes, with the chiller parts added to one. There is this kit also. https://www.italeri.com/en/product/590/7/34 But it of course is discontinued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodwrench3 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I've got one of those original kits in my "stash". "If you've got the time, we've got the beer ... Miller beer" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocked.... with political correctness and fear of influencing kids and all, Beer and tobacco advertising on what is considered "toys" disappeared in the 90's examples: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some aren’t as bad as you’d think, if you look for my Covid builds post there are a few 1/24 rigs with 1/25 trailers. Although I do agree, more trailer options would be nice .

Fabrux Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The Italeri trailers are both not long enough (40 foot) nor tall enough (12'6") for a modern trailer. The only thing available for 1:24 that's close to what's on the road are the tankers and containers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I think the last model kit with beer advertising was the Revell Kenny Bernstein Budweser King Top Fuel Dragster from 2002, it was marked as an "Adult Collectible - Ages 21 and Over". So if Round 2 is going to have the Miller Beer decals they probably have to do something similar to be politically correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrux Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 ^This is exactly the reason why Salvinos JR has right on the box "18 years and older" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
