Some might be Military Surplus. I remember seeing a few Dodge Van on Kadena A.B. when I was there in 1988. But, other than that, I have no Clue.

Thanks for reminding me of this show!

I like your thoughts on the restoration of this kit. Sticking to the 'spirit' of the original build, gives you guidance on what to do, and not do. I wait eagerly to see further progress.

Excellent Build! I'm a sucker for Candy Green Paint! Good Show.

Pat, it's too long to fit in my garage too. And I have a standard US Two-Car Garage.

Glad you have found time to start building again. You will like it. I'm 62 myself, and been building since I was 11, so you've beaten me by One Year!

Two Mediums pass on the street. First one says to the other, "You're Fine. How am I?"

This is Awesome, Marty! A really fine example of Top Quality Craftsmanship. The trailer and mini-streamliner are the perfect additions. Good Show.

Isn't it about time for Roubd2 to re-issue the Scout SSII again? It;s been a few years, and it seems to have sold well.

Great Trade with OLDCARFAN! (aka Gary Brooks) Will trade with again!

I am worried about the tires Atlantis will use in this kit. I have not liked the new tires they have tooled up for these older Revell kits. The Dimensions, and Sidewall to Tread ratios are off, and lead to tires that are too wide looking and have funky proportions. Truthfully, HPIguy's review of the kit, and photos of tires will be the deciding factor on whether I get one. I want the kit, but don't want to have to buy extra tires, just to build it...... TLDR: Atlantis new tires are no good.

That's a nice kit. 1/48 scale is just about the right size. Have fun with it.

Want! That is just so Over-the-Top! I'd have that in my garage in a hot second!

Amen! Lousy Choice of Wheels.

What a creative mix. The way you have built it, it looks factory stock. The two cars styles blend easily. Good Show,

Great Work so Far. You are doing the Pig's Ear/Silk Purse thing!

Glad to have you aboard, Anthony. That Merc is beautiful!

Great Build. My Dad had a 1961 1/2 Ton Long bed. Yours looks like a real workhorse. Good Show.

AS of now, all four kits have been given to my Daughter-in-Law. She Loved Them. All have been built, and she and my Son are painting them now. They turned ou to be the Perfect Gift!

Here is the MPC Chevy Flip Nose. The Blue Glass will be nice to have, and the decals should be neat. I expect the Plastic to be identical to what is show in this review. BTW, the Chassis and engine in this kit are exactly the same as the MPC Flip Nose '53 Ford Pickup. MPC getting double use of of the same tooling.

Cybermodeler has really gotten less reliable as the Publisher, Michael Benolkin has been fighting for his health. He posts updates, but never dates them so it is very hard to know what his exact status is. I wish him well.

Just to play Devil's Advocate, what about companies like Anigrand Craftwerks that has sold thousands of resin kits? They are Mainstream, in the days of 3000 kit runs. It's no wonder IPMS is dying, if the Single Media, Throwback is their defense. They should wise up and change the class to "Throwback Models" (for old pharts who can't handle new things....) Sarc.

Thanks, Bob. As you say, it will get here, when it gets here...

Looking Real Good!

So to refer to another thread about Contest Judging and Categories.... Is this a Box Stock kit, or Not? And If not, Why not? Everything is in the Box. There are no decals, but that can be true of many other Box Stock kits. Armour and Aircraft Modelers, have been building all resin kits since the 1980's. That's 40 years, of Box Stock, All Resin kits. Maybe Hobby as a whole needs to seriously think about "what constitutes what", in relation to kits, aftermarket parts, and Where the Line is..... Sorry to derail the thread.
