I recently bought a couple from VCG and they are nice! Great service and product and an alternative to buying kits just for the engine plus you get to choose the transmission!

As well as trim variants as this one appears to be the base model trim. I think the 3D aftermarket will develop the grilles needed and possibly the military equipment to do a CCUV Blazer.

The Snap Tahoe is a perfect fit for the C1500 short bed.

If someone offered a resin or 3D 4x4 chassis for these trucks I'd bet they would sell well.

That is quite the collection and nice variety.

Nope, your math is perfect and that is why most people get upset over the inconsistency of the magazine. I once subscribed for two years (12 issues) and it took 3 1/2 years for all my magazines to arrive.

The Jeep pickups are a prime example of if someone could 3D print a kit of one, they would likely sell because hopefully they would get all the proportions correct and it would be worth the higher price for an accurate kit.

IIRC he traded it off as he got fairly far with the corrections but then stopped.

Rotate the wheels? They rotate when I drive, duh!

Anyone know what "go cart" they are referencing? I can't remember any Revell/Monogram kits with a go cart. closest thing I can think of is the Honda Odyssey that was from years ago.

Morgan Auto Detail. Kris Morgan is a member here (Kris Morgan) and if you message him he can get you the details.

Just an update, today I received replacement tires from Paul, outstanding service and nice to know he made it right. Buy with confidence.

I ordered some wheels/tires and mirror sets from him around Christmas. My order showed up and most of it was fine, the exception being that the tires that came with the dual wheel set were badly molded and unusable. I emailed pictures to Paul (owner of STS) and am waiting to hear what he is doing to resolve the matter. It is the only issue I have had with any of my orders and I feel like he will make it right.

A common misconception is that because MCM says 6 issues a year, most assume a bi-monthly schedule. For as long as I can remember MCM has never been on a regular schedule.

Fireball Modelworks has 8 lug wheels and has Ford hub caps for them, check him out. Also has tires to go with.

Thanks for all of the pics, I was there early and had to get back home so I didn't get to see all of the models.

Modelroundup has them available: https://www.modelroundup.com/Goodyear-Polyglas-GT-Tire-Parts-Pack-p/amt-r2-pp-038.htm

That is for a 72. Not sure if there is a resin 74 kit out there, most have done the 72. Jimmy Flintstone has resin bodies for a 72/73. https://jimmyflintstonestudios.com/Car-Bodys_c_30-13.html

Watching your builds and explanations is always a pleasure, so much information is shared and your ability to create stuff is amazing. Thank you for sharing!

This is supposedly in the works, but they have multiple other kits to bring to market before them embark on this series of kits.

Hire a professional cleaning service to deep clean the whole bathroom. Money well spent and you will know it was cleaned thoroughly and with products designed to clean and disinfect. From there decide if you can keep it up or is it time to have a cleaning service once or twice a month to maintain it.

Modelroundup and Wes's Model Car Corner both show the kit in stock, have you considered either of them for the kit?

Got my grilles today, they are beautiful.

Is it safe to say that the higher selling price and quantity also translates into a higher GP for you? I have never been one to build models of figures/monsters/sci-fi, but I do know those that do and I can see where they can be fascinating to build.

Did they charge you for the kit? The second shipment of parts? It's possible they misunderstood what you were looking for or more likely, the customer service rep who took your message was not familiar with what should have been in the kit. Keep in mind these kits are run in a factory and the parts are packaged there into a kit. If the kit was sold out they possibly didn't have the correct parts to create the kit as you wished.
