will they ever make these dodge trucks
stavanzer replied to gray07's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
First Pass answer, is No. Not that Many Folks would not like to see them, but I don't think any model company will see a market big enough for these trucks to justify spending the Money on tooling. The Blue 1950s truck might have been done a resin or diecast many years ago, as it does look vaguely familiar. The latter Rams though, that's tough. Since it shares a cab with the '78 MPC kit, I'd suggest scratch building to get that truck. Lotsa work, but about all I can think of. Good Luck! -
Yeah, That Flattie is a Masterpiece!

I owned one of those Pinto "Ponys" as they were called. They were a truly stripped down car. Mine had 13" wheels from the factory. Auto Trans but a dinky engine. I got it from a mailman who had gotten it at a Govt surplus auction. It was a worn out Tub O'Junk, by the time I got it. I drove it until the tags expired, as it failed the Cali Smog test repeatedly. If you had one now, it might be worth a little bit, as they were sold only to the USPS, and were driven to destruction. But, they were as bare bones as it was possible to be when built, and probably the most miserable car I've ever driven.

Round 2 December 2019 Product Spotlight
stavanzer replied to martinfan5's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Great Catch, Casey. Makes a lot of sense that they would use those wheels. I wonder what tiers they'll use? -
I've never liked or wanted the 2 Door kit. Making it a 4 Door, has changed the buying decision for me. I neither know, nor care what Supernatural is, but if it gets me a 'More-Door' than I am good with it.

1/25 MPC Don Prudhomme Wynn's Winder TFD
stavanzer replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I just wanted Round2 to know what a Superb job they did on the Box Art! With the Low camera angle, the Font and Layout of the Names, the package just screams "Buy me! Buy Me, NOW!" Exactly what Box Art is supposed to do. I hope they sell a million of these kits. -
Maybe a Fire Chief Car then. I know they were often higher level trim than the base police car. And with the '70 Chevy coming out, there are fresh parts and decals to use.

Thanks, Casey for seeing that. I'll need two of these now, just for the HubCaps.

Parts box tow truck

Nice! Very Nice. I like the Rim Change. -
It is 6:00 am, Here is California. For the first time in many years, I am sick on Thanksgiving. I hate the Flu, and I hate getting older. I'll manage to prop myself up at the table today, but I've been up all night trying (and failing) to get much sleep. Ugh. I'll be back in bed by 3:00 this afternoon. Have a great Thanksgiving, All. Be Thankful that you are well enough to enjoy it!

This kit should share the whole inner fender structure with the Blazer.

I've been told that the pillarless hard top 4 doors, were not used as Police Cars, but I will build mine that way anyhow. It will look good, I think.

I'm in for one these. Going to be a Phantom CHP Cruiser.

I'm a fan of trucks but...
stavanzer replied to iamsuperdan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Chris, I recognize the Landmaster and the Brubaker Box, but the rest are unknown to me. Musk's truck looks unfinished, like most of his stuff frankly. His whole life seems to be like the the SouthPark business plan. 1 Big Idea 2 Something, Something, Something 3 Profit His only real Talent appears to be getting Government Subsidies, and keeping people from looking too closely and avoiding giving direct answers to any questions. He is Harold Hill "The Music Man" for the 21st century. He is a friendly, likeable Conman, who has never had to own up to the chaos that he thrives on. I'd have much more respect for him and his business ideas, if he did not take so much as a penny of US Govt Money. -
I had that Revell Super Spyder as a lad. I need to just bite the bullet, and pay for one on eBay. I now know that it is a pretty lousy kit, with a generic "One-Size-Fits-All" Revell Chassis, but at 16, I thought it was the neatest kit ever. AS far as Review, I think the recent Round2 kit was the AMT, with added parts. So, I'd like to see what is in the MPC kits.

1/25 MPC '33 Willys Panel Van - Paddy Wagon

What Ever Works! I'll wind up buying these decals from some guy on eBay who parts kits out. -
Does not look like it. Phoyos are small, though, so hard to tell. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/1-sort/amt-super-stones-fi/?view=roll

1/25 AMT '66 Chevy Impala Modified Stocker
stavanzer replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The only Three of these kits I'd like to see restored are the Olds, Buick and '64 Galaxie. The Chevies are both Meh kits to start with, and the others just don't have any appeal. Partisans for other kits, will of course disagree with me. And I understand that. But, given a Big Sack O'Money, those are the only ones I'd fool with.- 16 replies

2020 Round2 Car Kit News & Announcements
stavanzer replied to Casey's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Yeah, my definition of a "new kit" is one I have never owned. The '59 Imperial fits this. So do the Fuzz Duster and the Pinto Popper. So, bring 'em on! And if it has to have Coke Branding to Sell, then I am all in on that too. If the only way I'm going to get an AMC Matador or Javelin, is for it to be a Coke Tie In, tell me how much Coke I need to buy!!! -
At least, It is a Very Nice Rabbit Hole, Casey.....
