Ohhh. Thanks The Maul & Paw-Kat-el decals made it over!!! Great News.

I'm curious to see how the contents of this kit, stack up to the newly released ( April 2020), Round2 version, with it's "Restored" parts. Also curious about how many of the decals transferred over.

My Roommate in the Air Force back in 1984 had one of these trucks with a 350 Small Block in it. It was a wicked truck. One night he came back to the Dorm Room ,a little bit pale. I asked him if he was okay? His answer, "At 110 mph, the front end get loose". I never rode with him again........

Yes, I have. The Rear Fenders are too long for 2 wheels and a bit cramped for three. I'm still at the mock up stages on mine.

My cousin and I, (we are of Scots extraction) used to joke about "MacWarriors", Black Watch Plaid, Mechs. I'd like to build one someday.

Well, we got the Mazda RX-7 as a 2n1 kit a couple years ago. Maybe, Revell will come up with others. The 450SL would make a great 2n1 kit, as would the Datsun 240 Z car. That said, it is time to go haunting the 'Bay, I guess.

I've been getting kits from a couple of Well Known Mail Order outfits. One in Georgia and One in Wisconsin. Both have decent prices and great service. My problem? Postage/Shipping costs. I'm paying over 30.00 to ship my orders (usually 4 kits) I'm losing a whole kit, with every shipment. So, I'm wondering, are there any Kit Pushers based in California or on the West Coast, that might allow me to shave some of the shipping costs? If there aren't, of course, I'll still keep using the 2 I use now.

Man, I'm just the opposite on the IMSA stuff. I love it! I have about a half dozen kits with the huge, add on parts. I need to dig them out and build them. Those kits take me back to when I first started building kits, and when I was in High School. (1978-1981). At the time, those were the coolest thing going. I'm gonna have to buckle down and get some more of those kits. I have only the AMT Monza from 3 or 4 years ago, and I need a couple MPC Monzas in order to kit bash a Mondo Street Warrior!!!

Great Build. That engine is very nice, and I'll echo what others said about your wheel choice. It is perfect.

I will. You'll do okay.

Dark Ghost Gray will always be flat. It's a USAF Colour. F-15's and F-16's use it for part of their camo paint jobs.

I'd go with a pale grey, myself. That would fit the common colour palette for equipment back then.

Try these. https://www.modelroundup.com/product-p/gr-11043.htm

Yeah, that top one brings back memories.

I am blessed to be still employed. Not sure how much longer, though. Trucking may be huge right now, but my company is strictly Flatbeds. And, now is not a good time for Flats. The oilfields in California are slowing way,way down, and that is my primary source of freight. I wish our company could pivot to Dry Van, but you cannot even think about laying your hands on a spare Van trailer right now. They are all in use. I'll just keep plugging along. And Praying. Lots and Lots of praying.

I just need a good kit of the Macross ( I think) "Rifleman" Mech. The only one I know, the only one I like. The only one I'll ever build too. https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Rifleman

I have that Stomper Blazer and Dune Buggy kit. I'll bet that's a kit I still could not give away 35 years later.

That Revell Monza, sorry as it is, sticks in my memory as the first car kit I built to completion. I'd built others, but that was one of the first that I finished.NO paint though, just glue. I liked the black plastic, as it looked "Cool" to me at the time. I should try to find one.

Hey, Round2! Think We can get that Toyota 4x4 Fire Chief Truck? I've already got two of the 2513 4x4 kits, but that Light Commercial Fire Chief Truck is a Winner. I need the Topper.

Yes, Scott, I've seen them on real cars. Both were the VW "New Beetle" back about 10-15 years ago, I think. One a Cabrio the other just plain. Looked pretty good. Young Women driving them, of course.

Thanks, Adam. Nice to forget the "Crazy" for a few minutes.

Man, that Little Merc is a sharp looking kit. I had one 30 years ago. I truly regret getting rid of it.

Excellent Save.

Man! What a sharp build. I'd swear I've seen that car out a Famoso Dragstrip.

I really Like those Square Mirrors, Steve. I even had something similar on my '73 Chevy Wagon, back in the '80's.
