  1. Not unless a flag was thrown and the penalty was declined!
  2. Keep ya shirt on!
  3. Best looking Moebius reefer trailer I've seen so far.
  4. Italeri might offer one soon, if we give them encouragement. http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/3858/
  5. Not getting many votes for this one: 1938 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Streamliner 1/12th Scale http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/5058/ I think this would be a pretty nice subject for Revell to do in a larger scale.
  6. Last time I saw the Visible Auto Chassis for sale was around 1975 or 1976 at a Kaybee toy store at Northgate Mall in a Cincinnati suburb. I think the price was around $40 bucks or so. That was obscenely expensive back them. I emailed Revell of Germany and asked the head of product development if the molds were still around and in working condition. He said he would get back with me. I'm still waiting.
  7. It was! Then suddenly it was decided to combine pick up cars and trucks. After much consternation, a pick up car topic was created. The problem is the pick up car builders insist on posting on the truck topic.
  8. December 2014 releases:
  9. Funny you should ask. I recently wrote to Revell USA and asked what was the prototype make brand and model the trailer was based on. The response was that they didn't know. No one currently employed at Revell USA worked on that project. I then wrote Revell of Germany and the head of project development at Revell Germany said he remembered the original project. He was directly involved in the kit. It was first offered in 1983 and was developed at Revell, when they were located in Venice, California. The masters were tooled at what was then a brand new shop in Denmark. He said when Revell relocated from Venice to Des Plains, Illinois, the original documentation on the model project was lost. He did say he thought the model was actually based on a number of different trailer prototypes. The original kit was offered as a stand alone kit (7424) and as a combination kit with trailer and Kenworth K100 Aerodyne (7432).
  10. I'm waiting for you to post some trucks. Those aren't trucks, those are cars with half the back missing.
  11. Well you are up there in the home of Carrier. Go Orangemen!
  12. You need to cast this.
  13. American Detachable Goose Neck Lowboy Trailer 1/24th - 1/25th Scale http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/3306/
  14. I grew up in the Cincinnati area during the 1970s. We had United Dairy Farmers.
  15. That's not possible.
  16. I bet if Revell got at least 10,000 votes each for every truck, construction and commercial vehicle listed, they would seriously consider those suggestions!
  17. Seems like the grain trailer is getting the most votes of my suggestions. Over 1000 so far. North American Grain Semi Trailer 1/24th - 1/25th Scale http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/2624/
  18. The survey hasn't been up a full year yet.
  19. The all have less than 1000 votes. Need more votes.
