A little more searching just located one from another source in France for about half of that... ($55 C) incl. shpg mike

The diffs and wheels will probably work well for F100 4x4s with minor work and as the 1:1 tail lights are the same between the broncos and 67-72 F series, the revell parts could be used to improve the current 69-'72 F100 kit offerings too. mike

I was hoping they might have lightly engraved a line on the inside for the bigger wheel openings. It would be kind of surprising if they didn't have flares and maybe a template for cutting in a future reissue of this kit. Looks good so far... Thanks Revell ! mike

Cleverly anticipating the inevitable questions about opening up the rear wheel openings... thanks, Chuck! mike

Sure be nice to get one but 80 bucks (can) is a little bit large mike

Was wondering if you were going to comment on that Saw it when I was out in july. Here's the other end... mike

Think I'll be asking Chief Joseph for some of his T/As instead mike

Nice picture show; heck of a way to end a few vacations. Hope they hammer that d-head... Came through the rogers pass towards golden fri nite. A little hairy in places; saw one rig flopped on heather hill iirc, facing downhill in the uphill side ditch with the top to the wall. Oh, and a three car law takedown on a pair of tall 4x4s east of revelstoke . mike

Yeah, lucky for 850 bucks

That one was billed as a '75 Buick Regal and apparently sold for 450 mike

Or maybe just a pro model seller... Interesting to look back at feedback. These three cars and suburban plus a rolls model went to the same buyer for an outlay of almost eighteen hundred bucks. Another '69 imp is showing sold earlier to the same bidder for five hundred. That one was listed as 'resin built' and the first one was 'resin pro built'. mike

Reassembled one of those for my mechanics teacher about thirty-six years ago. Wish now I'd gone back and offered to buy it mike

The brakes are usually activated through an electric control in or under the dash of the tow vehicle or a master cylinder built into the trailer hitch itself, activated by the forward motion of the trailer against a slowing tow vehicle. As far as a 'typical' north American car trailer goes, I've seen many types, with aluminum treadplate, wood and steel decks. I can't see a whole lot of trouble converting this one (bigger tires, lighting etc). Lots of good pics for inspiration on the net. mike

Took a chance a while back on ordering a flat '71 hood for an mpc roadrunner from 'rdsxfn' (or something like that) but wasted my money. Poorly done with a gouge across the cowl grill as well. Wasn't worth the trouble to send back. mike

Too bad they never tooled up the side pieces for the Meteor grill mike

Thanks for the clarification, Mark. Much appreciated ! mike

X2... wow! mike

Here's a '55 I built at 14 in the 70s from the blue car box art kit. The Buick wheels came from the '56. Had no problems to speak of with it and am amazed at how well that testors rattle can black laid down and remains in good shape. Just picked up a builtup to use for restoration of a few missing/broken pieces. mike

That's a great start, Bill. Thanks for letting us come along for the ride! mike

It's actually a '66 Delta 88 with Buick wheels. What I was referring to was the accessory sidepipes... m

An auto historian friend of mine wrote a great book on these cars...

...and this poor ol' Beaumont looks like it lost a rear wheel and ended up in the rhubarb... mike

This very nice black nova passed me the other day, something big rumbling through those dual pipes... ...and saw this one, right out of the '70s, at a recent airshow mike
