I would be in for a couple of these. Z Force Modelworx used to offer some different grilles for the 85-87 GM trucks but they are the quad headlight trim option. I have one to donate to the cause if needed.

I would try contacting Robert Burns on his FB page- Too Many Projects- and see if he can print those grilles you are looking for. I haven't seen anyone else offering them.

Did you confirm with Joseph that he isn't selling those wheels/tires? Scott- yours looks great, need some details on price/ordering!

Very nice! That camper top is spot on! I have a resin Shasta camper from The Modelhaus and can't decide if I want to build a pickup like yours or use a Revell 66 Suburban as the two vehicle.

Not sure if you are using the kit frame for the 72, but an accurate and more detailed frame can be found in the Revell 64-66 Chevy pickups. And if you are thinking of going for a 4wd version, the Deserter kit has a perfect frame/drivetrain for the 72. For best accuracy, the front wheel wells on the Deserter are correct for the 67-72 GM trucks.

Fireball Modelworks makes an excellent set of 8 lug wheels with tires. Designed for his Ford F-250 conversion kit, these are very nice wheels and can be used on a GM or Ford if you wanted. Part Number FMR-154B, they are $15 on his website for a set of 4 wheels & tires.

The new SS kit has the different "ice cube tray" hood. The Baldwin Motion has a different hood, L-88 style like the Corvettes had. The rest of the Revell Camaros have/had the cowl induction hood.

I have the Model King re-issue and an original issue in the stash, will be interested to see what is "new" in this latest release.

I was watching the weekly live show on Wes's Model Corner on FB last night and I asked about the Bronco. He said he hopes to see it within the next 3-4 weeks but that Round2 has had problems getting kits to the US on time. I'd like to think they (Round2) know how much people are waiting for this kit to arrive but I am sure they have lots of stuff to ship from China so getting it all in a container is challenging.

Just a thought here- if the back half of the frame is printed separately, you could do a SWB and a LWB back half for those that wanted to build either style. Not sure if it's possible, but worth looking into.

He's fine, been busy with life. It happens.

That's a lot of Audi's, you gonna build all of them?

Saw a discussion on a FB page about the cost of kits and shipping. I had to laugh because some of the people must not get out much and see what's happening with the prices of things. Complain because kits aren't $15 anymore? That's been at least 10 years! Shipping a kit is no longer $4.95? Again, about 10 years behind the times! Claiming old out of production kits shouldn't be priced more than what they were when they were first issued? Yeah, that isn't how the market works folks. The solution is simple- Don't like the price? Don't buy the product! Don't like the service? Don't patronize the establishment.

No pictures but yesterday I got three models from Wes's Model Corner. He has a FB page and also store in NE Tennessee. I got the Revell Bronco/Dune Buggy combo, the MPC Racers Wedge and AMT GMC Jimmy, all for $60 shipped to my house. Wes was running a sale and I couldn't pass em up!

Sadly I have several Nova kits that will be raided solely for the purpose of creating small block Camaros with standard exhaust.

I'm thinking that many of their existing parts will fit with minimal work.

I think they could have created even more sales of this tooling if they had thrown in the 350 with standard exhaust and Magnum wheels as the only small block version of this kit is the Z-28 with the rare cross ram intake. Another version could be a stock hood and L-6 250 ci engine with the deluxe wheel covers.

More like the ZL-1 kit with a SS hood, but yeah, not much "new" stuff to see here.

Not sure what I missed, but I can guess how it happened. Same old same old.

Posted some kits for sale on a FB page specific for the type of models they are. A page member messages me " how much?" I respond with what I thought was a reasonable price that included shipping because it's a large box/kit. His response is "No kit is worth that money, I'll never pay more than $75 for a kit!". Okay, check the listings on eBay and you will see that I was SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than there. Given the the type of model, if he knew what he was looking at he would know what the going prices are. And when this kit was new retail was about $20 more than his limit of $75.

This kit actually builds decent and those tacky looking flares are separate from the body. I have one to build and it will be built stock as I grabbed some decals from Keith Marks

I can check later today, I have a ton of old issues, might have it. Have you checked with The Model Empire? They used to have many of the model magazines and back issues.

Here is the link to the Scale Equipment page referenced above http://www.seltd.net/24610cp.html

Those look awesome and I would be in for a couple of those frames and interior tubs if you print them and sell them. I like the idea of being able to do the 4wd or 2wd.

IIRC, this was announced right before Revell announced their 64 Chevy pickup kit. Can't remember if Satco cancelled due to the perceived competition or if they were underfunded and could not make a production run. I had looked forward to the long bed and wish someone would do a version.
