  2. Yes, Brother, we can certainly work a trade when the F-250's get here. I'll be getting more Fireball wheels and tyres too.
  3. I do want the F-250 4x4. I'd prefer the blue one, but with the snowplow's stock wheels. Take whatever I can get, however. Knowing how Moebuis does things, they will be two different kits, sadly.
  4. Well, One Kit Closer to my 4x4 truck. Maybe by Christmas.
  5. Well, Changed the Tires. I don't know that I'd be happy using the phrase "Fixed". "Somewhat Improved" might be more accurate.
  6. Well, that photo confirms that the Camaro is the Revell snapper. The Wheel Backs and the holes in the center caps confirm that it is a snap kit.

  8. I hope somebody from Moebius is reading this. If not dealt with, this issue could be a showstopper for future sales. I know that I'll be buying the wheels/tires out of this kit as it get parted out, as that is all I want from this kit anyway. I'm holding out for the F-250 4x4, that is supposed to be next up.
  9. Rob, that is the $64,000.00 question. My Guess, with a different kind of Leadership the answer would have been "Yes". Given who is in charge today, the answer will be "No". So, prepare for the 'water wars', leading to the population shrinking in the next few decades.
  10. Unclescott58. Some of the early Revell Ford '64 T-Bolt kits have a similar logo on the decal sheet. 2 of them. Be worth looking at the box art to see which ones had it.
  11. For the Pulled Pork kit. It was First out in the '80's as the "Puldozer" Then the "Mad Mudder" in the 2000's Now it is the "Pulled PORK" It was made from this kit. In order to get a close-to-stock version, you can kit bash with this pickup kit to get a stock hood, suspension, rims, and engine. What you cannot get are the Back Seat and "Topper or removeable shell" over the back. But I am thrilled to see it return! Good to see the '39 Chevy, but sad that it still has those truly outdated wheels. As noted by Jim B, the Mack and Bison big rigs are 1/32 scale. For all that, very sharp kits. As for the rest.....Except for the '32 Roadster, are meh. Good to see the TD "Cop-Out" reborn as the "70 Plymouth Funny Car" It still has the light bar. (Which I'll be getting a couple of when eBay guys start to part that kit out)
  12. I can smell the Rust, and stale interior! Absolutely Superb Weathering!
  13. 106 Today. Was 109 Sunday. 100 the rest of the week.
  14. I'm 6'1" and I found the Shorter CJ-5 to be a squeeze. If I bought another CJ I'd get a '7 too. That extra few inches makes a difference. I bought the '5 because it was believed to be a better Rock Crawler because of the shorter wheelbase, and that was something that was very important to me at that time. I'd prefer the greater comfort of the CJ-7 now, that I'm almost 60. My advice. After you finish the Model, go buy a real one! More Fun (and expense) than a barrel of puppies! 30+ years after selling it, it is still my favorite car.
  15. A few things to notice in this photo. 1. It has tiny marker lights on each side of the radiator. 2. The elevators are drooping, which means he hinged them.... 3. It has a (then) current License Plate. 4. The prop looks like it does not spin, it is only bolted in place. 5. The lower wings act as front fenders.
  16. The CJ-7 has more legroom, if you are tall. I had a CJ-5 and it was a tight fit. Your Colour choice is great! It looks very good.
  17. I've been using the aerosol spray Easy Off. I did not know about the bottle kind. I'll have to look for it.
  18. Great Build! I like the kit, and I am glad Revell tooled it.
  19. I've reached the point where, I have given up really caring, until I see what it is. I doubt it will be anything too spectacular, though.
  20. Not a T radiator, more like Dodge or Chevy, but you point is well taken.
  21. Add some Dealership Sponsor Graphics to the Tow Vehicle to justify the Fancy Rims on the trailer. A dealer (especially in SoCal) could justify the expense of the rims. Rig looks very Nice!
  22. I have the whole series on DVD. I show it to my Grandkids sometimes. Great Build.
  23. This would make a great Heavy Haul Truck for the lower 48, too. I've seen a few Heavy haul Trucks at work, and this one would fit the bill.
  24. We had 5 Parrots. 4 Indian Ringneck parrots (or Rose Ring parakeets) and one large Amazon. We are trying to cut back on things, (Fewer Pets, Fewer Bills) so we had 2 parrots my wife liked and 2 Bonded Brothers who were good parrots but hated one of the first pair. So we could not have all 4 out at once, or there would be fights. So, 4 of these. We sold the 2 brothers to a family here in town who seemed really good with the birds last night. The house is 75% quieter this morning with out the brothers. Even the Amazon is calmer.
