Hopefully it will be something long wanted by this community, wonder what it will be ???

I like that, nice colors and details, love the seat fabric inserts!

Got one earlier this week on my cell phone claiming to be the IRS and it was the final notice before they were going to file a lawsuit! Listened to the end and waited for their "representative" to come on the line but alas all I got was a number to call. Haven't called it yet, waiting to pick up an air horn before I do so I can blast some idiot in a third world country with it as I am giving him my Visa card number! LOL!

I have ordered from Danny many times and the only problem that I have had with him is that I never have enough money for all of the things in his line that I want! Great guy, great service, great product and I heard a rumor that he will have some more new stuff available real soon!

I'd say that came out pretty darn well, nice job on the paint!

Great details and very shiny paint, I would say you did well! It helps the motivation when you have the 1:1 close by as inspiration. Welcome back to the hobby and I am sure you will do just as well on your next build.

I was hoping for some updates on this Charles and you have delivered! Nice work on this, impressive engineering on the tailgate. Looks like it is ready for winter, are you?

A quick search of the forum here would lead to several topics on the building of this model Jeff. Check out the truck section and look thru the posts, I think there was one on how to get the engine to sit correctly.

I knew a guy who was working on an improved cab and bed for this otherwise simple kit but haven't heard much from him in a while, not sure if he ever got it finished and ready for casting. It would be a marked improvement over the kit offering and with an engine swap from the Revell Jeep CJ-7 kit, a more realistic model could be built. Maybe with this kit coming out he will be motivated to finish up the cab and bed and get it ready for casting?

My thoughts and sentiments too Bruce! This place just ain't the same without Harry.

Molded in color, WHY??????

Nice pictures, love those old Power Wagons!

nice collection, I am sure he didn't acquire all of those overnight

Nice job Dan, as always you make it look easy and never disappoint with the lift and mudders! Are you going to add any extras to this one or leave it as is?

Yes they did Mark! It was similar in size to the Suburban and was definitely built on a truck chassis like all of the IH light duty vehicles.There was someone working on a resin body of one, name escapes me but it was coming along nicely and he was thinking of also making a pickup version.

Good points Bill, but what is the shelf life of this product? I could see buying this if one had a bunch of grilles and bumpers to chrome, but how much product would you use and what if it goes bad in the can because you didn't use it fast enough? Might be worthwhile for a model club to buy or someone who does resin casting and wants to chrome some of their pieces they offer.

Nice job on that, hopefully that will keep your Dad motivated to finish the car and you two can cruise in style!

I was just on the Fireball Modelworks website and Chief Joseph has added a bunch of new stuff for the Revell Ford Bronco kit. Grilles, bumpers, winches, wheels, tires, and more! I am putting together my shopping list for Santa, suggest you do too!

The other model mag has an article on these kits and the history behind them. As far as the quality of them, I would say the effort out into the Scout was not on par as the bigger trucks. Sure would be nice to see a first gen Scout or any of the pickups.

Third plane trip inside of 30 days and finally one where there were no delays or baggage mishaps! Glad to be home, no plane travel for a week!

I fully expected to see a rusty beater with mismatched painted body parts and a worn out snow plow hanging off the front end! Nice job Chuck!

Wife is a teacher, either gonna be Spring Break or wait until retirement!

How nice of that old friend to think of you like that! While I could probably use one, what I really need is to get back to the bench! Can't wait to see that chassis, Christmas is coming!

Well George, you admitted that you should have bought them, and many of us agree with you. It's a shame that management couldn't/wouldn't do something, but in the grand scheme of things in a store that size, they figure you'll either buy them or not and they have other fish to fry. Like someone said a long time ago talking about this hobby- if you see something you like and want, get it as it might not be there tomorrow! That was mainly directed at resin items, but the same can be said for kits.

Sad and heartbreaking for sure! I saw something similar about 15-20 years ago, it was a race shop though. It was an older guy who ran dirt track cars and had several of his cars as well as a couple of others inside the building as he was known as a great tuner. It too was in a rural area and no fire hydrants, so all the water had to be trucked in and it was mid January in northern Illinois, so there was only so much they could do. The guy ended up in the hospital, having chest pains and later determined to have had a mild heart attack because of the fire. There was race fuel, a dozen or so Sprint Car tires and several welding setups that made for a spectacular blaze.
