Yeah, that looks like about the size of it. Great Tooling extension, for them, but maybe not a great deal for us, the buyers. I'll be getting one anyway, as you can NEVER have enough Land Rovers! If this sells well, maybe it will encourage others. And, there is still whatever Revell-Germany has planned. 'P.S. I wish we'd get the Michelin Tyers instead of the same-old Uni-directional Military Rubber.

Sounds like a great Idea, Luc! I cannot wait to see what you come up with.

Well, Tom, if that is true about the Diecast stuff, then Good For Round2!

The Multi-Piece Chassis is a bit more difficult than the Single Piece one in the '25, but other than that, it should be about the same. I'm just thrilled about having the ability to put the Rod parts into the C-Cab and Depot Hack.

I'm surprised that the '23 T is not getting more interest. This kit has been "Un-Obtainium" for 40+ years, and all it seems to merit is Meh? I'm in for more than a few of these, if only for the Kit Bashing possibilities. I see at least one Street Rod '23 C-Cab Van in my future, long before Round2 does the same. (which, I fully expect they will, eventually). Besides, the Stock '23T will just look different than the current '25 T. Not Much, but it IS there. Round2 seems to have really slowed down on Model Kits, in general the last few months. I see the Diecast and Johnny Lightning stuff going great guns, and I wonder if the kit market is seeing reduced interest and sales? All these Coke themed kits are just re-issues of stuff that have been out in the last few years. (except the '53 Ford), and I'd really like to know how those kits are selling. I do, however, hold out high hopes for the forthcoming '63 Chevy kit. I've never had one, and I am anxious to see what the Kats do to the kit.

Yeah, Cop Cars always seem to sell. The 'Exploder" would be a great Police Car kit.

And with out wheels, what good are the Blah-Blah monster truck tires? I want that T and the trailer though.

So. Can we now get a 1994-95 Ford Ranger with Coke Markings? If that is what it takes to get one, I'm all for it. Or a Ford Explorer? Or, Heck, the long rumored Bed Buggy?

Brittan-Norman Islander! One of my Favorite Planes. I love the Airfix kit, and wish Hornby would bring it back out again. Beautiful little 'Bird.

December will bring my wife and I, to the big 25. (at least 25 is Big for me) Not sure how I wound up with such a good match.

You said it better than I can, Jim. Drivers have 11 Hours to drive, and a Total of 14 Hours they can be on duty. And that 11 Hours has to be broken up with mandated Lunch and Rest Breaks. Electronic Logs (logbooks) are now mandatory and managing Drive Time is a HUGE part of every drivers day. Dispatchers and Schedulers, have to work within these limits as well. But, you know who does not know or care about all the rules and limits? The customers! They just want it now!!! Thus most companies are fudging the rules, just to keep business. Because, if your company won't bend the rules, another company will break them and underbid you for time and cost estimates. Thus, the legal rules are observed more in spirit rather than actual practice.

Ah, the Curley Shuffle! I remember it well!

Thanks, Danno. Clear, Concise Info. That helps.

Yes, it is a Three Stooges phrase. Curley said it. As far as What those kits have in common with the Stooges, the answer is, not much. But all are the right era for the Stooges, and I would hope that there are more Stooges Tie In kits in the future. I'm sure the vast majority of the Stooges kits sold, are still sealed, and sitting in collections across the world. Stooge-mania is huge, and these are prime Stooge collectables. Like the Coke Kits, Builders are really not the target markets for these kits. And, I am so glad of that. It keeps kits in production that I would not always see, and pays for kits that we might not get otherwise. As others have mentioned, Tom Lowe is an expert in these kinds of markets, and using them to pay the freight is sharp, smart business.

Great Build!

Nice Fix on the Exhaust Pipe.

Wow! That Colour really makes it Pop!

Nice Semi-TROG Build.

I'll be following this build. I have a pair of these kits, in the Chevy Version. I'd like to convert one to a GMC.

Thanks, Carl.

Very Clean Builds! Sharp, Clean, and great Colours!

I have a set of Red Alert Decals, to use on one of my builds just because of this kit. Those "Branch Motor Express" markings seemed just perfect to me. Thanks for the inspiration, Tim.

I agree on the steering wheel. It looks like the sprues are lousy. Not sure what else has you bothered. The kit looks okay everywhere else to my eyes.

Beautiful Paint job, and a spectacular build.

Great Build. The Colour Choice suits it well.
