I have seen some comment that has happened, but is that a HL policy or laziness on behalf of a warehouse worker? And I would think if they sent you the wrong item they would take it back and either refund your money or give you the correct item. When I have gone on their website, if something shows out of stock, I don't believe you can order it.

You can always order them online at the sale price. And they have free shipping on orders over $50.

I kind of made mine into a pickup, just chose to incorporate a tonneau cover with mine. Cut the roof just past the door.

Tempting.....Must.....Say......NO!

That is a nice looking resin piece. I have 4 of his bodies and they are very nice. I wonder what the donor chassis would be for this?

If it's a true F-250, then the tires should be 7.50 x 16.5 IIRC. Looking at that picture, they do appear to be new caps and look like the ones on my Dad's 71 F-250 he had back in the 70's. The Ramp Truck looks enticing, might have to splurge and get one.

Found this picture on the Pegasus website today. Looks like they have some different wheels tooled up for this version. http://pegasushobbies.net/catalog/p5200/%232564-1968-Ford-F-250-Custom-Cab-1/25th-scale/product_info.html

The title of this thread was about Model King or Moebius releasing new tool 67-72 GM trucks, not Round2. It's quite possible Round2 took the opportunity to reissue those trucks ahead of any possible new tool kits coming from a competitor or maybe it had been long enough since the last run they figured "Why not?". Moebius is planning on releasing a new kit with the Ford cab and ramp bed that looks to be more accurate than the cartoonish one found in the old MPC kit. One can hope that some all new 67-72 GM truck kits are on their way as the old AMT/MPC kits are lacking in detail. I personally would like to see some Dodge pickups from 68-72 as those have never been tooled up before and should be good sellers.

Haven't seen any updates in 2 months, sure hope he hasn't put this to the side, was really enjoying seeing the cool hand made stuff on this build!

Just started reading this topic and it's been very informative for me. I had resisted the urge to buy or sell on eBay for years but would go there and look at stuff all the time. I finally gave in and made my first purchase earlier this year as something I really wanted was only available on eBay. I have since made a couple dozen purchases but have yet to sell anything. I will likely refrain from selling there as the stories here tell me why I shouldn't. I have some kits and stuff that I would like to sell but will probably just do it via a Facebook group or at a local show.

That is a great looking model. I have a friend who has one (67 Nickey Camaro) in that color and having been for a few rides in it, can attest to brute power they have.

Latest eBay purchase arrived today, been collecting a couple of these and am done until I get them built!

While not nearly as brave as NOBLNG to cast my own, I am searching for some Dana 44 or Dana 30 axle center sections to build some upgraded axles for a couple of projects, anyone have a source? I thought I saw some at one time but can't seem to find them.

The US website doesn't appear to have a store function so I would say no. With that said, Hobby Lobby has an online store and the plow truck is shown on the site. Starting tomorrow the models will be 40% off and if your order is over $50 you will get free shipping so it may be a better option if you can't find them locally.

Actually it is the brand of beer that Homer Simpson prefers!

Shown on their website as coming soon, they have added some grilles and bumpers, nice looking stuff as usual. Faster service when ordered on eBay, from my personal experience.

That rig is pretty impressive! I am guessing you have some serious wildfires otherwise why would they build such a beast? I am sure that gets everyone's attention when driving around town!

The good news is that Olson Bros have some parts tooled up for this, including several grilles.

Been trying to log onto their website and get an error message stating "website cannot be reached". Does anyone know if they shut down for vacation or have shut down completely? Like his parents, Chris Holthaus has some excellent product and service, so hopefully he is just taking some vacation, would hate to lose him as a supplier!

Found these on a FB page, guy was selling his late father's collection.

Modelroundup shows this one coming in Late August. Given the shipping delays in the world, likely gonna be September.

Somebody mentioned on another forum that his chrome plating business is closed, anybody know if that is true?

Just did a deal with Youpey, great guy and fast shipping! Hopefully not the last time we trade.

Mine are 1/25.

Gonna take more than 2 issues a year for me to subscribe. I will buy at the hobby shop as it comes out.
