mk11 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) For those interested in following through on more chassis detail, here's the 57-60 frame profile... I've heard that Mr Holthaus recommended using the amt mid-fifties truck frame under his resin 57-60 offerings. And a link to a couple of Roger's (plowboy) superb builds... and another great build deserving mention... Can't have Mr Coulter feeling left out... If he flips the color scheme, he can use his new decals Great inspirations here. Edited April 5, 2023 by mk11 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) Now that the cab is separate from the bed, will there be back of cab details? Modelhaus version of the cab details. Edited April 1, 2023 by leafsprings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 This is going to be a big hit. I hope they include a correct stock intake system as an alternative to the triple 2s, as well as correct factory wheels, as I've been left with the impression that they weren't in the original kit. Either way, good bet I'll grab one. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so much in the pipeline at Round2 right now I don't see how a newly announced project that's only in prototype stages will arrive any sooner. There are at least 6 new tool kits in front of it without taking into account all the other "normal" reissues that run throughout the year.

Having the option to purchase either or both an original or re-creation is a luxury we should appreciate while it exists. That capital injection Round2 received a few years ago is paying serious dividends for the automotive modeler, so enjoy it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Chris, you didn't get a screen capture of the OG Decal sheet, did you? It looks huge for a Sixties Vintage kit. I wonder how much of it will translate into the new decals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those are selling for 1:1 car payment money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim boyd Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) My understanding is that this kit, and a second one yet to be announced that shares the tooling, will be at stores before years end....TB Edited April 6, 2023 by tim boyd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about "they" (mixing and matching part inserts from different tools isn't that simple), but we certainly can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's old school thinking, Dave. Cuz they can scan the interesting parts of old kits and cut new tooling. For instance whole engine families can be tooled and tossed in newly designed "cluster" kits. IMHO the Kats at Round-2 are just barely getting started...
