  1. You never know what Revell might do. Those stripes might very well be on the Decal Sheet.
  2. Rottweilers! And their incessant Chewing. She tried to eat an extension cord winder this morning, and is trying to Chew on my new Weedeater....... She's two years and 3 months old. When does it stop?
  3. Very Nice, so Far! What did you use to strip the Chrome? Thank You for Sharing the Build with us!
  4. That is going to be great! Now I need both kits. I'll build a GMC Sheriff's Blazer, and a Chevy Rock Crawler.
  5. Watched the Throttle Power video. Shows some really neat Truck coming up! The '85 Jimmy High Roller looks to be the Second Hit from the "Stranger Things" Blazer tooling. The "Captain Hook" Wrecker is back. The Ex-Monogram S-10 is Back as a Lowrider. The Ex-Monogram Chevy Luv is back as a "High Roller" kit. And it really the old High Roller tooling, unlike the Jimmy kit listed above. Revell Jeep J-10 Honcho, "Dude" Package pickup with Camper Shell. This kit has not had the Camper Shell, since the First Issue in 1981. So, 5 new Truck kits of assorted Quality. From the New Tool Jimmy, to the "Iffy" snap kit Wrecker. Something for most Truck Modelers Tastes.
  6. Yes, it is. Look for it as a Stock kit from the 1960's or the Early Iron version from the 1970's. It was released as both Revell and Monogram kits since the 1980's thru the 2000's.
  7. Revell is going to release the Captain Hook, Snap Wrecker sometime this year. That Wrecker Bed should swap onto the Ford Kit with minimal issues.
  8. Craig, there is a Pic of the Decals on page One, and HPI Guy's Video showing all the Parts on Page Three, You'll need to scroll down a little bit to find the listings.. That should show all that you wanted to see.
  9. Great to see this Built! You did a wonderful job on the kit. Good Show.
  10. Wow! I'm Gobsmacked! Words Fail me! You are an outstanding Craftsman!
  11. It surely is because you ordered a replacement. Always happens that way for me, at least.
  12. Here is a Link to Ron's Tires/Wheels. He has many, many options and almost all are for Circle Track cars, both Slicks & Treaded. Excellent Detail, great selection and fast, trustworthy service. I've dealt with Ron 2-3 times now. He is just awesome to deal with. https://roncoon.com/wheels-tires-2/
  13. I agree with on that count Chuck. The box are is very poor. The Guy in the Marketing Dept who approved that Art should be docked a months Pay. Not only is it a bad angle, but it looks A.I. generated and Cheap.... The Decals are First Class though.
  14. Redneck Cadillac, Farm Truck, Carolina Squat Truck or a Pull Truck. Scrap the Bed, make a Flatbed, or a Tanker, or a Tow Truck. You could probably Swap the cab out for a Revell Snap Kit Chevy and have a Hybrid Chevy / Ford Mash up. Paint the Kit in USAF 'Strata Blue' and you'd have something similar to the strange Trucks the USAF uses on foreign airbases.
  15. Found Out Yesterday that one of my oldest Friends had passed away 3 weeks ago. We have known each other for 45 years. We don't talk as often as we used to. I was caught totally off guard, by the news. Still processing it. He was a Model Builder, and Vietnam Vet. Only 73 Years Old. He built 1/35 Scale Tanks, and 1/32 Airplanes. He dabbled with Sports cars too. I know he had talked about owning and someday build the Revell Nissan (Datsun) 510, racer, and the Revell Porsche 904. I'll miss him!
  16. I loved him in Real Genius! One of my top 5 favorite movies. I have it on DVD, to watch when I get the urge.
  17. That's what You Think! I'll bet the Softball team gets Carl's Jr. tonight.
  18. A Swing & A Miss , for me. The Herbie is very nice, but without the optional VW parts that I know are in the tooling it's not worth buying, even a the Hobby Lobby 40% off. And that is provided I ever see those kits at H.L. I know the Disney Lic probably plays a part in it being a Single Option kit, but I am not willing to spend my money on single build option kits any more. The Green Hornet was the last one of those. I'll hold out for what is behind Door #2, Next Quarter.
  19. Just got my Trade , from Khils! Excellent Trading Partner! Trade with Confidence. Thank You. Kevin.
  20. Since my interest is in that era of cars, (I build 1908-1965) those kits are indeed trade fodder for modelers like me. NIce to be able to offer up a kit like that when somebody posts a kit you want. I've even paid shipping from Canada to California for a couple of trades years ago.
  21. Neat Car! That's how a '57 Chevy should look. More Ponies under the hood, and Mags! Good Show!
