Yeah, Mike & Rob, those (ex) Monogram Goodyear Trackers are very Long-in-the-Tooth. Most of us should have a several sets in our junk boxes. Monogram used them in just about every truck or jeep they tooled for 20 years. I kinda wish Revell would tool up something else, but that will never happen. I had not noticed the Eight (!) Lug Wheels on the new Luv. I'm sure that the optional wheels on the GMC Plow truck will work on the LUV. I hope if this sells well, that Revell will consider a 4x4 version of the LUV. The Mule would be nice, but the parts from the High Roller Version would be nice to have back too. (Bet Most Folks don't Know there was a High Roller version of the LUV) https://www.scalemates.com/kits/monogram-2280-chevy-luv-high-roller--539172 http://www.popscreen.com/p/MTE2NDg2ODMw/CHEVY-LUV-4x4-Truck-LIFTED-HIGH-ROLLER-Monogram-124-Pickup-Kit-Model- Possible Unique parts fro the High Roller. Lifted Suspension, Unique Wheels & Tires, Roll bar and KC Lights, and Sunroof. I'm not sure how many of these parts were in other versions of the LUV Kit. The High Roller seems to be that last Marketed Version of the kit. Casey had a nice write up on his site, but it seems to have been removed due to Photo-Bucket Link-Rot.( I am making this assumption without any info)

Here are the instructions for the Mojave Mule. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/monogram-instructions/monster-trucks--pullers/monogram-mojave-mule-/?view=roll#1 The differences I can see are: Wheels, Roll Bar, Front Axle, Push Bumper and Windscreen "Buzzard Bars". I wonder if any 'extra' parts will be in the box.

1/24 Airplane decals will not fit most cars. Planes are Big, and what fits on th e side of a plane will probably only fit on the hood of a car. From past experience with Nose Art, 1/48 seems to work best.

I find that 1/48 scale fighter nose art is best on 1/25 scale cars & trucks. Just be sure that when you use the 'Stars 'n' Bars' that the point on the Star points Up! The US Star always 'stands' on two points, with the single point Up.

That never works, Tom. The 'one' part you need to finish the second kit, will not re-appear until after you have given up the project. This even works with scratchbuilt parts. When I make anything now, I'll make at least two of them, because one is sure to vanish.

Amen, Rick! I've seen him out of the corner of my eye, if I turn fast enough.

That Rack is Awesome! I'd like to see a How-To on how you built it. You nailed the rest, too. Great Build!

Mine will most likely get some Monogram 1/24 Centerlines swapped in, and the rest will be OOB. I want one of these kit though. I ruined one in 1978, and I'd like another crack at it.

So, any previews or builds on this kit yet? I'm keen to see what's in the box.

Paul. That '59 Dodge Rocks!! Where and When do I send money?!?!?! What base Kit d I use for the Conversion, or is it a complete "curbside' build? Thanks!

I want to build a Fire engine finished in the Eye Scorching Lime Green Colour that was used in North America in the late 1970's and thru the 1980's. It seem to have fallen out of favor after that, and I have not seen any green apparatus in many years. That said, I'd like to source a couple of spray cans of this colour for a couple build projects this year. Any thoughts on who might sell some? Thanks, Alan

Lousy Wheels, but you can swap wheels from any of the old Monogram (Revell) '55 Ford Pickup kits, or the Monogram (Revell) '40 Ford Pickup kits. Gives you better choices. I'm wantin' one.

So, Salvinos, has Pooched it Twice? First with the Chrysler rear suspension and now the replacement parts to correct the first error, are too small? Great Quality Control and Research there, Rick! This pretty much ensures that I'll never need to purchase anything from them. Why reward multiple failures?

While I feel that way with some kits, Kevin, others just leave me cold. But that is just me.

I'll be watching this. It should be Killer!

More on the Model A with some photos. https://www.modelroundup.com/1929-Ford-Model-A-Roadster-p/rmx-4463.htm

Amen, Noel!

"Foxwood Trim" I think I'll use that on my Revell '50 Merc Wagon. (I knew what you meant. I'm just playin' with you a little bit, David)

And, I cannot wait to see what you do with this kit, Eric! Your builds are always superb.

Nice Build of a kit that leaves a whole lot to be desired. The colour looks very correct for a '77 model car.

So, Ron. How is the Black/Gold Build coming? I'm keen to see how it looks, in those colours? They sound awesome together.

Mike, do you have a link to the Video Review, you can share? Thanks.

Take my money, please!

Thanks, Danno. I shall be ordering some Fireball Modelwerks Police Car wheels.

Odd, Dave. I found this Box Art to be very Lame. These Photoshop/Airbrush Boxtops have always left me cold. They are neither Fish nor Fowl, and just look odd. They have never stopped me from buying a kit I want, but they have not ever driven a purchase. Revell needs to go a completely different direction for box art IMHO. Either Round2 style commissioned Art Work , or Photos. This Half'n'Half stuff is just Lousy. The Box Art equivalent of "phoning it in", or a bunt.
