Yes, but this thread is about new kits, not reissues.

The Beall tanker has been reissued at least once since it's initial release. Truck modelers always claim they want this reissued and that reissued and when they reissue it, other than the prehistoric AMT kits, they languish on the shelves. And then after about two years or so when the reissues are hard to find you hear, I wish they would reissue that again.

I think so too. Think it would sell?

I actually find this much more interesting as a new kit coming from Aoshima in the near future.

Too obscure..

It seems Moebius is the only manufacture that has offered modern American semi trailer kits over the last 15 years or so. Do you think AMT/Round 2 will stop offering their ancient truck kits in exchange for modern subjects?

Europeans seem to be fascinated by the American style bottom dump trailers.

Did I say that?

How does a spread axle aluminum Flatbed trailer sound for the next Moebius semi trailer kit sound?

Nice reference pics.

We will publish some highlights of our survey to share with you the results. Thanks in advance for your cooperation. Italeri staff.

Impressive.

I get my information from the same place you get it. I try not to read anything into the rules that aren't there. On the previous contests, there were heavy modified models In fact,most of the models they display are modified to one degree or another.

I wonder if anyone could click on the link and read the rules.

Not my build. Someone else took it a a model show.

Another rehash.

Nice pictures. Actually, their is a topic listed for 1 to 1 photographs under Truck Stop.

I think they shouldn't have offered the kit in the first place, since is upset you so much. You would have been happier.

Don't we all!

I have a Gary Wallace Freightliner FLC SBA hood. It looks to be a nice conversion. I'll get to it at some point.

Plaskit (Plaskit Resin) is now on Facebook.

Shows the direction of the hobby. Back in the day the target audience would have been under 18 years old. The modeling hobby demographic has got to get younger.
