Great Showrod! A clever use of some Choice Parts! -
This is very true. This is a deliberate engineering choice, made to reduce the overall service life of the engine.(and by that extent, the whole car). It is done with Malice Aforethought, meant to force you to use only the dealer as a service facility, and to make the whole car a shorter, more expensive life.

Best Info I could find quickly. M113AS4 ALV M113AS4 Armoured Logistics Vehicle (ALV) The rear half of the vehicle has been cut out and replaced with a flatbed to carry cargo. None of the M548A1s were upgraded to this standard, instead this variant was built on existing M113A1 hulls by extending them. Fitted with the ACAV protection kit for the gunner instead of having a T150F turret.

Here is an Out-of-Box Review. https://adamrehorn.wordpress.com/model-kits/out-of-box-reviews/mpc-125-1979-chevette-bear-bait/ -
Air is broken. It is old school and has never been converted to the new refrigerant.

PM sent. I have one.

No. You are not crazy. I've got a garage full, over 650 and counting now. Price Out an AR-15 and some accessories or a couple of sets of Golf Clubs. Let her do the math... Or, take up Hanging around at bars and drinking. (Sarc) Models are a cheaper, and saner alternative to many other Adult Hobbies. Lastly , But a Fixer-Upper Classic Car. That will slurp the Budget A Thousand Dollars at a time rather than the 50.00 to 100.00 that are Model Kits.

Revell USA Peterbilt 359
stavanzer replied to StakerAlloys8's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thanks! Great Looking Trucks! Good Show. -
I just watched Both of the new Titan sub documentaries back to back. Both cover the same ground in different ways. It is very clear to me after watching the Netflix Doc, that the blame rests on two men. Stockton Rush, and the Named US Whistle Blower investigator who blew off David Lochridge's complaints. telling him, (after he was fired, was harassed by Rush, and broke) that "I have 11 cases older than yours. I'll get back to you...." That stupid Git could have stopped Rush in his tracks, but blew it off. The blood of those 5 people who died is on his hands too...... The other show Implosion, talks to Christine Dawood the widow and Mother of the Father & Son who died. She is one of the most poignant of the survivors on camera. She about broke my heart. Both have good points and bad points to them. If you are at all interested in this incident, I highly recommend watching both of them.

What Kits did you bash? Is there a 1/35 Scale CH-47? -
I'll got out on a limb with some very wild guesswork. The Reason Revell could pull up this "All New" Blazer so fast, was that part of the Scanning/Planning/Measuring had already been done. The Body sides are a clue. Perhaps, Revell dusted off some old scans they had of previous 'future' projects, and what we have here is the tooling that had been started as a Diecast, Metal Body Blazer. Would explain the lack of taper, and the subjective 'hefty-ness' of the kit. I am probably wrong, but it does explain the body proportions at least.

Laser Sharp Paint & Detail. Excellent Build! Good Show. -
Thanks, DJ. Now to look at Resin Grilles. I may just stick to what is in the box for the first build, however.
-
Is Is this different from the Netflix Documentary? If so, I'll need to watch both.
-
I just managed to get one at the LHS. Only $33.00 too! I'm stoked. Do I build it stock, or order a resin GMC grille? The Box is Packed with parts. Hard to get it all back in neatly. Last, What Fireball Wheels & Tires are folks using on this kit? Thanks, Alan.

Great Weathering! Looks like it lived in the Great White North, as you said.
