Classicgas Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 That 1/350 USS Enterprise is a holy grail for me, but I'll never get it because I will never have that much expendable cash. Not to mention to light it per the series is another $150. Never going to happen, so I admire others builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Lets face it, were in an inflationary period, prices are on the rise everywhere. 70 bucks with free shipping will probably be a deal come December '21, may be more price increases coming in '22 and beyond.

tbill Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 After thinking about this for awhile, I made myself chuckle. We as a group think nothing of spending $60-$80 for a resin cab and then have to use a $30-$40 kit to finish it out, probably spend another $50 or so on other resin odds and ends cause the kit parts don’t go with the cab we bought, then we need tires, cause the kit ones are horrible, so $200 later we can now build the model, but shoot, now we need decals…..,$20-$30 later we are set, all of a sudden, that $91 seems plausible ……. tongue in cheek fellas, we are a bunch of finicky things, ain’t we?

gotnitro? Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Exciting news for building either way..msrp doesn't scare me away , and offers another opportunity to support the brick and motor shops that still exist . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) The big news is that it is a completely new body, something we have not seen in a very long time. Some of the less skilled builders, including myself, could never recreate a super realistic truck body. Prices are inline for what it would cost to purchase a donor kit and resin body if it existed. Hopefully it sells well, so new, never done before bodies may come along in the future. We could use a new wrecker body, grain body, tanker body or beverage bottlers body on the C 900 or Louisville cab too!

Virtually every stinkin' interior detail found under the actual aircraft's skin is modeled. This is a bargain for 600 bucks. The same goes for HpH Models' 1/48 B-52H Stratofortress. It's worth every penny of its $743 USD price tag Edited October 17, 2021 by SfanGoch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.J Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I figure I will get one and hold on to it and hope it does like the Can Do Wrecker and sell for about $350 dollars in a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I wish I had the excitement over this release that some have, but a garbage truck does nothing for me. I understand this was to be released years ago and it didn't happen so for some it was like finding their holy grail for $5 at a garage sale. Hopefully this will sell well and fund some other new kits we would like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda thought we could express our comments here, but I guess only when they agree with you are they valid? I've seen you comment many times about something that doesn't interest or bothers you but that is okay because somehow you have superior posting rights? Hope you buy and build multiples of these garbage trucks, the folks at Round2 are counting on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Garbage trucks are essential vehicles, just like about any other truck on the road, they perform a necessary task that society needs for a decent quality of life. I'm ready to give them some respect on my shelf. There is always the possibility of kit bashing with resin cabs that are available now or in the future, namely the Chevy - GMC with a 427 under the cab. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But didn't you say you weren't interested in this model subject once already? Those that are interested in commercial vehicles have to suffer through endless iterations of 57 Chevy's, 1960s hot rod reissues and pickup cars done over and over again at the expense of a once in 20 year subject, commercial vehicle modelers get. I get it. You would rather have them not offer this and have a Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby NASCAR edition model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
