    Looks great, that bumper looks HD! Love the details, what are you doing for mirrors?

    While not born or raised in NC, I did choose to move here 14 years ago and don't regret leaving the Chicago suburbs one bit! Yes , this area has changed and the worst part is that people move in from other areas and demand it be like the area they moved from! Really? If you miss (fill in the blank) that much, move back there and leave us alone! As the migration from over populated, over taxed, run down parts of the country continues, look for this to continue. If I wanted to have those problems, I would have stayed in Chicago and at least had a decent hot dog or pizza available.

    I think Hobby Lobby's strategy is to price kits higher knowing many people use the 40% off coupon. $22.99 minus the $9.20 is $13.79, more reasonable price to pay for a snap kit.

    MAD also has that resin long bed, not sure where that crew cab came from. The resin long bed is $15, nice piece, smooth and clean. Kris is on here, he might do some trading if you have something he needs, worth asking!

    Drove a couple of different LR's in High School back in 80-82 at the dealership I worked at. Not much for comfort or easy to shift trans but they never got stuck in snow or mud, and we tried hard! Might have to get one for nostalgia's sake.

    I get it Mark, but the only way to recreate that old truck is with the kit and a resin grille, unless someone has an old grille to trade or give away. I haven't seen a price on the grille, but I would think it would be very reasonable. The Modelhaus sold their plated grille for $7.

    I'm going, maybe even get a table to sell off some of the stash!

    Jim, The 68 Chevelle was released earlier this year, but sold out quickly. The next production run should be arriving soon and then it will be available.
  9. mikemodeler
    Probably came and went before you could get one. Should be there soon enough.

    Contact Kris at MAD, he is working on getting them on the website but I think he has them ready to go. He's a member here (Kris Morgan). Depending on the look you are going for, Danny at Scenes Unlimited has multiple options. He has stock, steel wheels and regular sized tires or he has off road wheels and bigger tires. Easy to order from and great service. Also check out Chief Joseph at Fireball Modelworks as he has some nice wheel and tire combinations.

    There are a lot of other cars one could buy with $300,000 to enjoy and drive on the street. It will take a real NASCAR fan or museum to pay anywhere close to that price.

    Dug this old post up because I was watching last week's episode and when Jamie, Brandon and Paris are on that hillside towing that old Blazer, I noticed they all were wearing Mack ball caps! I wonder if that is a tease for the new truck?
  13. mikemodeler
    Now you can Mark, with the reissued kit and a grille from MAD, the truck pictured can be built (in 2wd).
  14. mikemodeler
    There's always a chance. I didn't think the snap tite Toyota pickup would be there and yet, they have it, so it's possible.

    Got my two Dodge pickups from Modelroundup!

    google, try it some time, might be surprised what you find.

    The problem is that this topic veered off into a bunch of what ifs and what abouts. Instead of staying on the topic of the models shown, it became a chat fest about anything Revell, including Ed Sexton, models that should be released, and models that people want but with changes. Sorry it offended you, but there are topics out there on the Model A and it's been widely discussed that the molds have been damaged. How/when/if the kit will return is a question best asked of someone like Ed Sexton, not the forum "experts" who claim to know.

    Thanks Chris. Some people don't see the forest for the trees.
  19. mikemodeler
    Looks nice, great job!

    Funny how this topic went from showing what is new from Revell shown at the Milwaukee NNL into a "If I ran Revell" or "What they need to do is....." rant and rave! Seriously? So Revell is re-issuing some kits, some we like, some we don't. Pretty simple concept- buy em if ya like em, don't if ya don't. The ability to stay on topic in this forum escapes so many. If you want to comment on why they haven't mentioned the '30 A model kit, go to that topic and revive it, don't wander.

    Considering the 2wd stepside kit hasn't been re-issued leads me to believe the tooling was changed and the molds aren't available for the 2wd version. One can hope and maybe Round2 will give us that kit! Many of us thought we would never see the Dodge pickup again, were told the molds were gone and yet here we are! I suspect the 4wd version could happen as some of the parts are already in this reissued kit! Time will tell!

    That kit has been around in several variations for years. I have built it in the past, first time back in the late seventies when it was shown as the Sport Pickup (Black truck on box). The version I had in the stash was a blue truck, issued by Monogram in the early 90's. Don't look for any new truck kits beyond what Moebius is bringing out

    Most likely he is there to help launch the US office and operations and get things running here in the US. I am not sure but my guess is that Ed has to be getting close to retirement, so this could be his way of using his wealth of knowledge and helping his retirement plan. Of course there is the notion he is doing it for the hobby!

    Glad to hear Ed Sexton is working with Revell, it will be interesting to see if they develop any new kits or just update existing tools and milk their catalog much like Round 2 has. As some have noted, not much on that display gets me excited. I had a version of the Chevy pickup for years (bought around 1994) and never built it, not sure if I will get one this time now that I have sold it off.

    Got an email from The Modelroundup that my two Dodge pickup kits have been shipped out today!
