Yes Italeri truck tires, they're in the new Mercedes-Benz Actros truck kit

Non brand tires with sidewall detail, speed codes and dimensions..

Hmm...maybe I'll have my copy 'round Christmas then...

While not an exact replica, your model sure catches the gist of it! Too bad Revell designed their S&H as a one trick pony, cuz would've liked a Ranchero sibling as well as a wagon or a '72 Fast and Furious GTS, I dream, but you create my friend.

Amazing job, love it! Can't wait to see the vehicle on which it gets mounted (hope that's the right term)

If I was able to buy a big Poncho in '67, (I was still in the making back then) I would've gone to the used cars section of the dealership to get me a '66 model. This is (to me) a realy awkward styled car especially the front end, BUT even-though I'm not a fan of this model year, Al.... you did a great job on the resto!

If you have the skills (like you) you can turn any mediocre kit into a nice display model! And while you build looks great, it also shows the design flaws in the marquee.

You'll have to take into account which donor kits are available to finish what you list.

The kit can be build with a Tunnel Ram Intake, which makes the hood with cut out mandatory, the kit also includes "turbo muffler" tailpipes, custom steering wheel, wire wheels and go faster graphics on the decal sheet as extra's. According to the instruction sheet, the stock engine can be build either as a 350, or a 396 It doesn't have side pipes, nor does it have the option to build it with a '70s rake. IMHO it's a pretty lame kit, and the 2000ish newly designed tool, rendered it obsolete.

this look bad a$$, I like what I'm seeing, I wonder how many more of these vintage kits Round-2 could sell, if they would include resto-mod parts, to dress up this post fuel crisis mid size econobox

I agree, now they saturated the market, and when the 4x4s finally come out, they could very well become shelf sitters Or they will have to dress them up, with optional aftermarket wheels, camper top / roll bar etc....

In the mid '90 I past by a Cadillac dealership in Palm Springs, and liked the Eldo's with vinyl top he had on the lot. Wouldn't mind having this one, to drive across the US.....

Looks very promising, is it 1/25th scale, cuz it "looks" bigger.

When working at GM in Antwerp we did a special run of white Astra's with a black roof and liked the combo. It works very well on the Camaro too, great job Jonathan!

I'll add the ones I remember, amt '64 Grand Prix, and the original issue '65 too, then there is the mpc '69 Poncho G/P

Look here..

I don't doubt that for a minute Steve, IMHO they should look into a working with not only one big tool but with a cluster of smaller tools, which in configuration a, b, c, d: can eject sku x; in a, b, e, d: sku y; and in a, c, d, f: sku z. Just my humble opinion of course, and let there be no doubt I like what Moebius is cranking out, only wish the 4x4 versions of the Ford P/U tool would hit the market sooner.

I edited my text a bit as it didn't came out the way I wanted to.

I'd say they pick their subjects very carefully, on the merit of possible siblings (Bean counting ;^) The only thing I find strange is their, to me, production unfriendly parts arrangements, when checking the sprue's, but there may be logic in the madness, Dave?

IIRC that kit was never designed to have both the custom (C) and the stock (S) parts in one shot, so Round-2 runs the tool in configuration S, then in C, maybe with some parts blocked off if, it doesn't interfere with the flow of the plastic, others maybe clipped off, and tossed in the bin....

Was going through my stock, and my eye fell on a Tamiya Jeep Grand Cherokee, opened it, went though the instructions, and saw that it has a trailer hitch (actually the braces which attach to the chassis, and it has a mounting plate for the hitch) Since these Jeeps were popular in Europe, it makes them an excellent towing vehicle for this trailer.

Keep on fighting Harry!

On the first paragraph, thought that was common knowledge and about Belgium that's how I read it, If I misunderstood, my apology. Secundo if the collectors and builders you mention, represent serious buying power, it will be re-produced, I don't know of any company which isn't in it for the money, but think the track record of previous sets make the decision makers vote against, or at least gun shy., but that's my opinion and maybe next year a manufacturer will prove me wrong...

IMHO such part pack set should be sold via their customer service department, cuz when going retail, beefs up the price due to extra hands the product passes through and the fancy package it needs to attract attention and size to make it less vulnerable to shop lifting. The company's website, FB and other social media can be used to promote the product, which can be pre-ordered, to determine volume, and when the product comes into the warehouse, have some temps mail it all out to the customers...

Here that other member, I wasn't talking about Belgium, Belgium means nothing volume wise, except in numbers of politicians per capita.
