It's a shame Tom that tolling on numerous kits has been destroyed, when we could enjoy them today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom sill isn't to slope upwards toward the windshield at all. It should be parallel to the ground front to rear. An easy fix.

martinfan5 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Some kits showed up today, the BMW was in transit for about two weeks, the other kits came from HLJ, they left Japan Monday, transit time less than 48 hours.

Tom Geiger Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Quick trip to HL this afternoon since it’s 40% off week! I don’t have to open the kits since they’re duplicates, but I got them for anticipated projects. I want to do a Landy pickup. The Shelby kit I had got parted out, the chassis etc is under my Falcon Stocker and I got the idea that I want to add a Mustang stocker to the set! Also needed Testors Flat Black and Dullcote, my go to staples on nearly every project. I also got back up glue, because if I have a new one, the near empty old one will last forever.. but if I didn’t have one, I’d run out on a Sunday!

Rodent Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I got a smashed promo today, thanks to a seller who thought that a bigger box was a better box and the USPS. Don't want to say more because the seller is working on making it right and I appreciate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd advise putting it in the refrigerator. If you don't, when you finally need it, it's likely to be a solid mass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just pure luck of the draw, whether you have a "good" or "bad" body. I have a '55 Stepside like yours and a '55 Cameo. Both have the "bad" body with the slanted windows. At some point in the kit run, AMT caught the error and corrected it. But as Gregg said, it's a pretty easy fix with some narrow strip plastic. Or look for a cheap AMT '57 Cameo, it's the same body and all those had the right windows. If all else fails, get a resin body and convert it to a panel truck!

I wish Hobby Lobby was better at updating their Model section On-line. It's a 100 mile round trip to go there and don't want to waste my time if the newer releases are not there. I would just order them on line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
