I'm thinking it will be something totally off our radar right now. Steve G and the Kats seem to save the real surprises for kits/subjects that nobody saw coming. Whatever the "Next Big Reveal" is, my bet is that it is something nobody expects.

I must have missed them, then. Sadly no LHS anymore. The last one closed in 2022. Thanks, Alan

Isn't this kit due to be out soon? I though Chad was previewing it, in the last video? (Well last ,but one)

Any more news on the Camaro kit?

Hello, Steve. Has there been any news on the Test Shots on the Camaro? Does it still look like a 2024 kit, or will it be pushed? I hope that you take all the time you need to get a good kit. AS long as it has a good choice of tires, and the Kat's Awesome "Expanded Decals" I'll be thrilled to buy this kit. Of course it would be great if some stock wheels make it back into the tool, but, I'll be happy with what ever options do happen to be there. Thanks, Alan

Thank You you very much for sharing your insights, Steve! I'll keep them in mind. I've already planned a full Custom '60, and a race team centered on the '63. Your news just firmed up the plans!

With these kits soon to be in the hands of eager builders, What are some kit bashing ideas for them? Will the Camper fit both trucks? How about the Fender Skirts on the '60, will they fit the '63? Will the Stock Intake, Carb, and Air Cleaner from the AMT '57 Ford 500, fit the engine in the Trucks? How about the odd little Supercharger from the '57? Or the Twin Carbs from the '56 Crown Vic? Will the Intakes from the Revell '57's, swap too? Since everybody has at least one set of the Chrome Stock Hubcaps from the AMT '57 in their Stash/Spares box, would those be a logical swap onto the trucks? Will the Custom Grill surround from the '63, fit onto the '60, without Too much work? Just lots of ideas percolating in my head tonight. These trucks really inspire my creative juices for some reason. They are clean, colourful, and just complex enough, without being "Uber-Kits". There is a whole lots to like here in these trucks. I cannot wait to get my wrinkled mitts on some.

This kit? 5 comments in, and no Photo?

Thanks, Tim! Great Photos!

Great Subject, Great Build! Too Bad it isn't offered in 1/25 Scale. You did a great job on the build. Good Show!

Nice Open Wheel Build! The Colours looks great! Good Show!

Wow. Great Build, of a Kit I'd never even heard of. Good Show!

Cool Build. I like the Open, Dune Buggy Look. Good Show!

Great Short Track Build! Details are sharp! Good Show!

Thanks! Down the hole, I go......

Monogram 1/48 Scale B-29 has an oval tank that fits in the Bomb Bay. Perfect size for car/ truck use.

No, there are some new (restored) parts. The canopy and some Ding-a-Ling parts too, IIRC.

Thanks, Jesse! You beat me to it!

I love those Egg Planes. Yours is superb! Good Show!

A Genuine Showstopper, John! The weathering om the exhaust pipes looks real. Good Show!

Great Build! You answered my question about the tires, too.

Tim, will we get 'First Looks" of these kits on your Fotki Pages? If any recent kits deserved, the Full Detail, Up Close Looks you provide, these kits are Number 1 on that list. I hope to see them there someday. Cheers, Alan

Sigh.... You are so correct. Mea Culpa

Re: HPI Guy's Video. Steve G and Round2.... After watching the video, I am even more impressed with this kit! The engineering on the Hood, and Bed is especially clever. The Cab, Bed and Hood, are all crisp & sharp, with just the right mix of Modren Engineering Prowess in Tooling, and the Nostalgic Feel & Look of a 50 (almost 60) year old kit. The more I see of this kit, the better it looks. And it would appear that the companion '63 Kit is just as good, with a differing set of parts and options, executed in a similar style. My Original intent was to combine the Camper & Trailer on one truck as a Salt Flat Racer Support Unit, given that there are so many extra parts in each kit. I can see now that I will need more than just one of each kit. So far 2024 is the year of the Pick Up. The Dodge Warlock 4x4, This Pair of Fords, the rumored 68-72 Chevys, the rumored Powell Pick up, and who knows what else. It looks to be a great year for the Pick Up builder. I cannot wait to see detailed builds of these Fords, and the Dodge. Thank You, Round2. Your efforts are much appreciated, and I hope the sales of these kits exceed all expectations!

What a great looking stock "T". A friend of my Dad's in the Horseless Carriage Club, had one on that exact Colour and Style. I got to ride in it a few times. Thanks for bringing back the memories Good Show!
