Robert Burns has a Facebook page- Too Many Projects- where he lists the various bodies he offers for sale. They are 3D printed resin and depending on the type you choose, can run from $60-130. The body shown here is done in his lower resolution white resin but it is quite clean and very accurate. If you really want a scale model of a Scout half cab, this might be an option. You will still need an AMT Scout kit (of the second generation) to supply the interior and chassis but well worth it if you want it. I realize that the price might seem high, but by the time you buy a printer, figure out how to print and buy the resin, you could probably have bought several of these bodies.

The first gen Scout is available in 3D printed resin from Robert Burns, accurate body and drops onto the AMT/Ertl reissued second gen Scout chassis with some slight mods.

Unless they go back and re-tool that body, probably won't happen. It was changed to the current body and has been issued several times since then. Best chances are either someone casting one like the Olson Bros did or someone does a resin body print.

I snagged this resin conversion body from Olson Bros 4 years ago, very nice casting.

It was in the Round2 video today, Chad was saying it might be July when it shows up, not sure if he's accurate. I have noticed that MRU tends to add a few weeks to their available date and then pleasantly surprise us with it being sooner than expected. Whenever it shows up, I'm betting it will sell out quick. I might have to get a couple!

Olson Bros. has had personal issues affect their business (well documented here). Scenes Unlimited, as Ace mentioned, was sold to ST Supply who has slowly been casting the lineup and bringing inventory on board. ST Supply was a large customer of SU and when Danny decided he wasn't going to be able to continue the business with the service level he felt he needed to, Paul stepped in and took it over. Fingers crossed that he brings the light truck tires back, there are/were some great tires in that line. You may want to look at Fireball Modelworks, he has some nice stuff and offers great service too.

This version is coming out later this year (no date has been given) but it is a decently proportioned model and does not have the T-Tops like the Revell/Monogram kits.

Starting to pack stuff up today for the show tomorrow, lots of old and new kits to be sold so be sure to bring your lunch money and spend!

Not sure what the future of Olson Bros is but I do have some of these from when they were still shipping orders; https://www.resincastmodelparts.com/store/1-25-Classic-Headlight-Lenses-6mm-6-Lenses-p411763875

Placed an order for the 68 GTO & MCM #219 on Friday with Wes at Wes's Model Car Corner, figuring it would ship out this week. Sunday evening I see on his FB page that they got the 65 GTO and 92 Chevy Silverado in and were available to order. Placed my order and messaged Wes seeing if they could combine orders and he said NO PROBLEM! This afternoon around 1:30 UPS dropped off my order! Unbelievable service and just another reason why Wes is my online ordering choice- his prices and service are the best I have found.

That wrecker body is a re-pop of the Midnite Cowboy wrecker bed and it was 1/24 scale, so it will look big on that 1/25 truck. That kit did not accurately represent a 8 foot bed so it does require some adjustment. I have a stalled project that uses that same bed, maybe you will inspire me to finish it.

Still showing as TBA on the Stevens International website and that means it is either days, weeks or months away from being in stock and ready to ship.

Modelroundup shows this as a June 2023 release........gonna be an expensive summer with all that is coming out!

Looking forward to that Land Rover Series III LWB Commercial kit.....I have a C1 Models wrecker conversion kit for it!

I have ordered from Kris many times, always with the understanding that he is a one man operation and good stuff takes time. Like many others here will attest, Kris delivers but does get busy.

Saturday October 28

Mine has been ordered and supposed to be delivered today, looking forward to this!

The CKM show in August has been moved to Saturday August 12th! You should consider making the trip to Atlanta this fall for the ACME show. It is being held in a much larger location and has some of the best modelers from across the country there as well as a ton of vendors with everything from parts and resin bodies to old kits and new releases. Great show and great group that puts it on, worth going to.

I will be there with a bunch of kits for sale, be sure to stop by and spend your hard earned money with me!

I guess I can start saving now! That looks great, about dang time! I can see some cab swaps (Dodge & Chevy) in my future.

Not sure if you do Facebook, but there are a couple of different FB pages that you can sell on, fewer restrictions than eBay and no fees that I am aware of. In regards to selling on here, you are correct. Now if you send messages via PM with a list or photos of what you will be selling, it would help some here identify what they want and help them help you in clearing out the stash.

Technically, if you wanted to replicate the Daisy Jeep from the show you would use the Revell 77 CJ-7 kit as she drove one on the show. Don't recall her ever having the top up on the show, would defeat the whole purpose of her being in that outfit she wore! AMT/MPC uses this older CJ-5 kit because that is what they have in their inventory and also hold the licensing agreement for the DOH stuff. This kit has been around for a LONG time and uses the old 4 cylinder Hurricane engine. If you wanted to "update" this, you could source the L6 engine out of a Pacer kit. I doubt the molds still exist but there were some early versions of this Jeep kit that would be nice to have again, especially the ones with the V-6, half cab, service station and off road parts. In regards to the dually kit, interesting to note that there are two sets of wheels- plated and unplated- but it looks like only one set of tires. I will grab a couple of these, hoping some resin grilles are going to be available for this!

Scenes Unlimited offered one as well, not sure if the new owner has one in the line as of yet but worth checking.

The decals are available if you want to get another set. I got a resin body from Greg Wann to build one of these, an old high school friend has a real 1:1 67 pace car and it's on my list of cars to build! Nice old kit there!

I have yet to get anything from Kris that wasn't top notch. Not sure how he is able to cast resin kits that look every bit as good as a regular model kit, but his stuff is awesome!
