Found some air duct tubes in the parts box. Added them to the air cleaner snorkels.

Yep, got one on the shelf of doom. Also had a weird (Hispano Suiza) engine.

Looking good. Looks like your missing the optional AC unit (it was in the MPC rerelease Hot Rodder's Tall T version) that could go in a back window?

Outstanding work on a difficult kit.

Here's a build I put together using leftover parts from other kits. Body, engine, interior, wheels and chassis are from an MPC 4x4 Deserter truck. Suspension and tires are from an AMT Stones Ford 4x4 truck. Paint is Testors rattlecan Firey Orange Lacquer. Let me know what you think.

Added a winch to the front bumper. Took it out of my Deserter truck kit.

There's one for sale on Epay now. Some good reference pics there. NABOO N-1 STARFIGHTER from The Mandalorian Book of Bobba Fett 3D print Assembled | eBay

Well I'm calling this done. A kitbashed build of the original Bigfoot #1 with 48" tires and wheels. Body, interior, engine (blower, carbs and headers are from the parts box) and frame are from the AMT Firestone 1978 Ford 4x4 kit. Suspension, wheel flares, roll bar and front bumper are parts from the AMT USA-1 monster truck kit. Wheels and tires are from an AMT 1/32nd monster truck that scale out to about 48" in 1/25th scale. Paint is Testors rattle can Star-Spangled Blue Lacquer. The BMF was a chore. Decals were provided by a member of the forum. Build post in the WIP section. Let me know what you think about it.

Decals applied and most final parts added. Still digging in my spare parts box for some accurate outside review mirrors. Calling it done. Moved to Under Glass.

Here's my mockup of a Bigfoot #1 on 48" tires. They're 1/32 scale 66" monster truck tires and wheels that scale out to about 48" in 1/25th scale.

Paint polished and BMF applied. Decals next and then final assembly.

Well, here is my take on the AMT Lil Red Express Truck. It fought me at the end, nothing that was to be attached to the body wanted to fit or be glued. Did make some changes. Didn't care for the exhaust stacks, so I left them off and added side extensions. Felt it needed a chrome roll bar. Different wheels and larger tires. Scratch built the double snorkel air cleaner and added the column shifter. Let me know what you think about it.

Got it painted. Now to polishing and then BMF.

PM sent.

They lost me in 2008 with the CoT and haven't watched a race since.

The one in the pic from of the first car crush that was on the tree of spare parts from the USA-1 kit.

Yes, the USA-1 has both roll bars. Although the extra non chrome one is not complete. I am chroming the extra rear bumper from the USA-1 kit and putting it on the front and using the chrome stock Firestone pickup rear bumper on the rear. Pic is of the parts tree in the USA-1 kit with the Bigfoot 1 parts on it as well as the USA-1 wheel backs.

The suspension parts are from the current AMT USA-1 Chevy monster truck, they are the same as was in the original Bigfoot 4x4x4. The fender flares, roll bar and rear bumper from the Bigfoot kit are also in the USA-1 kit.

Saw the Revell '71 442 and the 1/24th Monogram '55 Chevy gasser on the shelf at my local HL. The new release 442 might be worth the $39.95 with 40% off but not the old rerererelease of the TD Badman gasser. I passed on all the Revell kits at $39.95 even with 40% off.

Got some work started. Chassis, wheels and tires and engine done. Some body work, not sure how I will hinge the front end yet. Am liking the "48 inch" tires and ride height. Still need a scan of the AMT Bigfoot 1 decals (1984 edition). Got one, thanks.

Great builds. I am working on a Bigfoot #1 (first car crush) using the same parts as you did. Hope mine turns out as good as yours. Am in need of decals for a #1 (or a scan of such). I am using 1/32 monster wheels and tires to replicate the 48 inchers they first used.

Love it. Here's what my 4 yr old Grandson got "me" for Christmas.

Am in the process of gathering parts to start a project to replicate a model of Bigfoot monster truck #1 (first car crush). Have an AMT Firestone 1978 Ford 4x4 truck kit for the body, interior, engine and frame. Have a set of 1/25th scale monster truck suspension parts and a set of 1/32nd monster wheels and tires (that scale out to 48 inchers in 1/25th scale) on the way. Need a scan of the early AMT Bigfoot decals (1984 or 1989 release) if anyone can help. Wish me luck.

Great foil work. Saw this wild build on the bay, hope you don't mind I posted it here. Merry Christmas.

Found these bombs in the spare parts box. They look like B61 nuclear bombs in 1/72 scale molded in black. Can anyone tell me what kit they came in? Am in need of two more and their fins. Going to add them to a B-58 Hustler project I am working on. Thanks in advance to your help.
