HPI Guy has the Kit!

It would require both great confidence, and a 'puckish' sense of humor, but a Rat Fink Branded Garbage Truck has a certain air of inevitability to it. I'd do it, but I'm not sure what the Roth Estate and Round2 would think of it. (maybe only run 200 or so, and sell them only on the website, not in stores)

Without looking inside one of the other kits, there is no way to know. Anybody got one open that can show the contents?

I wonder if Round2 will provide the Chrome Steelies in the rear? Dig the vintage WWV-278 California Lic Plate!

Modeler's cup will be running over for Early 1960's Chevy Drag Cars in the next 12 months!

That will go nice with the GTO. I wonder if we'll ever get the Mustang or any other body styles from this series?

Rob, I think the Dom/Vin pic was chosen because it is more familiar now. It will sell more kits, IMHO. But, You could be right.

Aye, That's great, Jim! Good for you.

I am excited to see your progress. Things look good.

Fair Enough, then. Thanks for taking the trouble, fellows.

No Close up pics of the little Red Pickup?

So, JIm. Did Revell add in any new parts, or is this just a 'decal only' upgrade?

Thanks For sharing, Mr. Dean. I always like to see these posts.

Too Bad, this Bronco is the Wrong year for a Longmire Build. The R/M kit and this one bracket the target, but miss on either side of it. Oh Well......

And, what's wrong with that..... Can never have enough Lic Plate Decals. ?

So, who is going to be the first to say, "I'm sorry" for all the vitriol directed at Dave / Moebius for the "Chopped Roof" Tempest-in-a-Teapot, that prompted this re-work? Dave, Thank You for listening. I'm sure this will pay large dividends to Moebius going forward.

For those who may never have seen this kit "in the Wild' so to speak, here are the instructions. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/monster-trucks-pull/amt-wild-hoss-ford-/?view=roll Not a lot of options in the box, but It was better than the MPC Bronco, IICR. You will get two sets of wheels, bare plastic & chromed. Chrome Tree is small. The original deals were not all that expansive, but I guess will be bigger in this issue. I'd expect the same tires that were in the recent Jimmy/Blazer kits. A fun kit for sure.

'Strata Blue' Chevy, eh Bob? We drove Grumman Step Vans on our Flightlines at Kadena AB. I was an F-15 Crew Chief for 2.5 years. Wish I had pics of our Flightline. Alan Alexis (USAF 1983-1988)

Amen, Brother Snake!

Thin Pickings in this video. Maybe Round2 is saving the Good Stuff for December........?

Well, I can see that the Wild Hoss Bronco will sell like wildfire, and Caprice will sell out quickly. I have the "Lee Eliminators" version that was last released, and I will be very curious to see what decals they add to it this time. I hope that the Round2 "Expanded Decal Sheet" hits on most of these kits, Especially the '64 Merc and the Wild Hoss Bronco. If it takes a Coke Tie in to get the Dodge D-50 kit back in production, "Bring It On!". I believe that having the Ramchargers Dragster & Transport truck together will be the first time these kits have been in one box since the 1960's. I am truly surprised that the 2005 Escalade did NOT get the Coke Treatment. If ever there was a kit that seems a natural fit to the Coke Tie In, it would seem the Escalade would be it. My favorite announcement from this list is the '64 Merc Marauder. One of my favorite kits. Maybe Round2 can include some decal referencing the Parnelli Jones "Pike's Peak Hillclimb"winning Marauder's from 1963-64. Anyhow, a great 3'n'1 kit from the first "Golden Age" of 1960's kitmaking. (P.S. Round2, You will need to include a pair of the GY 'Suburbanite' snow tires for the Pike's Peak Racer, to simulate the truck tires that PJ ran on the car.)

Here is HPI Guys review of the kit, but oddly for him, no build up.

My 3 year old Grandson likes the build, but tells me it is a Firetruck. He is most adamant about it, too.

Best use of the '58 Fury body, EVER!

Sweet Build!
