  1. Correct, but this was released by Ertl and someone built it for the box art. The pieces missing in the pics are included in the kit though.
  2. Looking good. How you get the front tires pulled in under the cab?
  3. Looks freaking great!!!!! But I have a few questions being new into doing trucks. How did you get the front wheels inboard? I know they stick out to far on this (building one myself) How is the triple axle done? I'd like to do one someday Is that the AMT Lowboy? Are those the tires that are included? They seem smaller than the truck tires and my lowboy they are the same as the truck. Thanks and again... Awesome build
  4. Those ejector pins are always in a crappy place. The build is looking great
  5. Does not matter... all cookie cutter cars, nothing special to watch anymore. Lost interest when the first COT came out.
  6. And so it begins................... https://www.ebay.com/itm/124999279066?epid=1822782758&hash=item1d1a89a1da:g:9aUAAOSw9gxhje20
  7. Is the grill open on the Bronco? Also it looks to have a decent looking 351M engine. I will need several for sure
  8. Well, this is looking great. So glad opinions were listened to and things checked for accuracy. the correction to the body makes it look "right" Makes this kit even more desirable to me. Cannot wait
  9. Right, I have seen with just the chrome above also. I have also seen them with no grill or end pieces (Chevy bumper is 5 pieces) and a moon tank mounted to the center section of the bumper.
  10. This has always been a cool kit. May I suggest looking for the old Revell 57 front bumper and grill. You trimmed the bumper, but it is still there. The OLD Revell has a separate grill and makes cutting the bumper away easy. Here is a pic of a 1:1 with just the bumper removed.
  11. Found this sealed at a thrift/resale store for a really good price. Amazes me the quality control or lack there-of from Ertl. The box build is missing fuel tanks, tail light panel, rear fenders and mudflaps!
  12. Bronco and KW 925 for sure.... The little D50 maybe, but I want the off road version
  13. I really like it
  14. Looks great! I have one in the wings and am doing the Kenworth W900 now. Awesome slump busters that look good next to more detailed kits.
  15. I am up in the air about this one right now even though I have all the other Ford C series kits. Not sure I could build a garbage truck that looks like a "garbage truck" Maybe I could print a window sticker for a "just delivered" garbage truck.
  16. The body on the revell 49 Merc is so botched I tossed it in the trash and used the rest for parts. Almost did the same to the chopped 48 Ford and 57 Fords, but I am attempting to fix those. I have to wait on the Revell Mustang, if anything like most other Revell offerings, the body will be screwed up.
  17. 2020? Hmmmmm..... My wallet is safe this month.
  18. I knew it was a Superman movie!!!! Just was not sure which one. Not sure I'd leave my 32 roadster parked on the New York city streets at night tho.
  19. Yea, I remember that one too.... I know I saw the 32 Ford in a city street scene at night, another car rolled back into it. Now I gotta watch the movie... UGH
  20. I lined up one side and clamped it, then did the same on the other. It was not far off for me.
  21. Prolly off topic, but updating existing kits would be a plus in my book. 63 and 64 Impalas/Galaxies with a detailed chassis and interior? Would that not involve just tooling up interior pieces since the floor frame and firewall are available from the 62 Impala and 61 Starliner? Same for the 66 Mustang and 68 Shelby among others. My 2 cents
