Roco Minitanks probably has the best Dodges kitted, but they are 1/87 scale. Still some of the best kits ever.

I've never seen them before.

Great Nova. As others have said, you nicely captured the 'period vibe' on this build.

Wow, what an Amazing pair of cars! Great builds!

As my Dad always says, "Askin' ain't Gettin'"

"It holds a certain charm to me." This statement sums up the reason why Round2 and Atlantis are kicking it right now. For all of their warts, the old kits live on in our hearts. We want to use our modern skills to create what we envisioned all those years ago, using the same Raw Materials. Great Job Scott!

Awesome Build!

Great Work, Jeff! You are showing a Master Class in scratch building.

The Red Baron is a Great Kit! I have built it. When you build it, remember that the Model kit was designed first, and the 1/1 car was copied from the kit. So if there are differences, the kit came first. The Red Baron is a Tom Daniels design, for Monogram Models. Other than being a Showrod, it has little in Common with the MPC Kit. The Mummy is one of three in a series by MPC. They were apparently built to get more life out of old hot rot tooling and compete against the more popular Tom Daniels series of Showrods from Monogram. http://www.showrods.com/showrod_pages/mummy_machine.html Wolfman. http://www.showrods.com/showrod_pages/night_crawler.html Skull. http://www.showrods.com/showrod_pages/creepyt.html For a look at almost all the Showrods ever kitted, try the Showrod Rally's "Master List" http://www.showrods.com/home_page_links/alpha_list.html The Rally is a great place to learn more about Showrods.

Try the RPM 1/72 Scale Mack Truck. It has the wheels you are looking for. At least, you would have a start to scratch building your own. https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/rpm/kit_rpm_72401.shtml (You're on going to have to Wing It for the 1/24 scale Sub)

The MPC 28 Lincolns are good kits, but very Fiddly to get together. Don't bother with the Out of Scale working steering. I'd prefer the Monogram Classics to start. They go together faster and more cleanly than any other kits listed. I'd not tackle any of the Italeri Classics until I had a few Monogram kits under my belt.

I don't know if I have ever seen 5 spoke rims on a Mack. Almost all the Mack's I've seen has 6 spoke, Cast Rims. I question the diecast truck. But, not having seen the One-to-One of the Mack, I cannot be sure.

Thank You, very Much.

The Sunoco '34 Is Great, and I like the Opel GT, especially the decals! The rest leave me pretty cold, with the '57 Chevy and '56 Ford being direct re-pops of the most recent releases. Not a bad thing maybe, as both are perineal Best Sellers, and the market may be ready for them to be back. The Groove Boss racer is a great to have back, but here is where the whole Retro Box Art thing fails completely IMHO! Round2 Really needed to push that expanded Decals bit, and instead they've reused the lackluster original box art, and hidden the new decals on the box bottom. They do get mentioned on the 'features sticker' but there is no colour representation of the new decals on the box. Sad. This is one kit that could have used all new Box Art, rather than the Nostalgia Box. At least show the decals on one of the side panels. Those new Decals are a major selling point in my eyes, especially since the original decals were quite frankly so poor. They needed to be pushed hard, not relegated to a tiny B/W pic on the box bottom.

Is There a Current Boxing of the Steve McQueen, Gulf sponsored Blue/Orange Car out there? Or do I need to find an older boxing of the kit?

If you look closely at the Disc Wheels, you will see that they are unique to the Mack. AITM used to make some resin Wheels that were a direct Drop Fit. Foolishly, I never bought any.

Thank You for your sacrifice. Round2 Should announce the release of this kit shortly. After all, except for the Unique parts for the "Rough" bits, all three kits have been out recently. LOL ?

You have a good point, Jeffery. I will give Round2 Credit for making it very clear what kit is in the box, and not making those kinds of ID mistakes.

How good is the Fujimi Kit? I've always liked the 917, but never had a model of one. Is there one that is best for a simple build?

I do! ? I always need more 2 axle, 4 wheel trailers!!

You Always need more Trailers! LOL ?

That's not Good at All! Just making the problem worse. If I got warped replacement parts, the whole kit would go into the trash, and Moebius would never see a penny from me, regardless of what they tooled up. This whole situation is a prime example of Two Sayings I learned as a Mechanic. 1. "The Six P's" Proper Planning Prevents Pi** Poor Performance. 2. "There is Never time to do it right, but there is Always time to do it over. Moebius got here because somebody hurried things. Now, they look to be worsening the situation because they are in a hurry again. Time to slow down and get things right the first time. I don't like to see this happening. I like the subject matter Moebius tools up, but if QC is going to become a problem, I can stick to Revell, Atlantis and Round2.

A VW powered, Touring Car Dune Buggy. It could fit the Criteria.

Very Nice! I like the Taillight Gussets.

I winder if the parts from the first F-150 4x4 would work on the F-250 kit? Or, are they different parts?
