Best Info I could find quickly. M113AS4 ALV M113AS4 Armoured Logistics Vehicle (ALV) The rear half of the vehicle has been cut out and replaced with a flatbed to carry cargo. None of the M548A1s were upgraded to this standard, instead this variant was built on existing M113A1 hulls by extending them. Fitted with the ACAV protection kit for the gunner instead of having a T150F turret.

The old story is that a Camel was a Horse, designed by a committee.

I am so soery to hear that, Bill. Not Good News.

Awesome Build!

Here is an Out-of-Box Review. https://adamrehorn.wordpress.com/model-kits/out-of-box-reviews/mpc-125-1979-chevette-bear-bait/

Glad to have you aboard! This is a great place to learn techniques and show off your builds! That Jeep Rocks!

Air is broken. It is old school and has never been converted to the new refrigerant.

No. You are not crazy. I've got a garage full, over 650 and counting now. Price Out an AR-15 and some accessories or a couple of sets of Golf Clubs. Let her do the math... Or, take up Hanging around at bars and drinking. (Sarc) Models are a cheaper, and saner alternative to many other Adult Hobbies. Lastly , But a Fixer-Upper Classic Car. That will slurp the Budget A Thousand Dollars at a time rather than the 50.00 to 100.00 that are Model Kits.

This Forum is a great place to ask Questions, Mark. We will do our best to answer them.... Here is a Link to the Instructions: https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/straightline-competition/amt-super-boss-funn/?view=roll And, HPI Guy's Video Review & Build of the kit.

Thanks! Great Looking Trucks! Good Show.

I just watched Both of the new Titan sub documentaries back to back. Both cover the same ground in different ways. It is very clear to me after watching the Netflix Doc, that the blame rests on two men. Stockton Rush, and the Named US Whistle Blower investigator who blew off David Lochridge's complaints. telling him, (after he was fired, was harassed by Rush, and broke) that "I have 11 cases older than yours. I'll get back to you...." That stupid Git could have stopped Rush in his tracks, but blew it off. The blood of those 5 people who died is on his hands too...... The other show Implosion, talks to Christine Dawood the widow and Mother of the Father & Son who died. She is one of the most poignant of the survivors on camera. She about broke my heart. Both have good points and bad points to them. If you are at all interested in this incident, I highly recommend watching both of them.

What Kits did you bash? Is there a 1/35 Scale CH-47?

I'll got out on a limb with some very wild guesswork. The Reason Revell could pull up this "All New" Blazer so fast, was that part of the Scanning/Planning/Measuring had already been done. The Body sides are a clue. Perhaps, Revell dusted off some old scans they had of previous 'future' projects, and what we have here is the tooling that had been started as a Diecast, Metal Body Blazer. Would explain the lack of taper, and the subjective 'hefty-ness' of the kit. I am probably wrong, but it does explain the body proportions at least.

Awesome! 8x8 , CH47! Mad Max Lives!

This is all I see as well. No Pics.

Looks Great for a First Time build. Your paint is nice and smooth. Good Show.

Laser Sharp Paint & Detail. Excellent Build! Good Show.

Thanks, DJ. Now to look at Resin Grilles. I may just stick to what is in the box for the first build, however.

Is Is this different from the Netflix Documentary? If so, I'll need to watch both.

I just managed to get one at the LHS. Only $33.00 too! I'm stoked. Do I build it stock, or order a resin GMC grille? The Box is Packed with parts. Hard to get it all back in neatly. Last, What Fireball Wheels & Tires are folks using on this kit? Thanks, Alan.

Great Weathering! Looks like it lived in the Great White North, as you said.

Patience, Grasshopper! It will come sooner than you expect.

The MPC Monaco kits are definitely Thread Appropriate. Keep it up! I like all this MOPAR Talk, and I really hope that maybe we will get a "Super Charger" kit someday.

AS it says. Looking for these kits. Prefer open & complete. The newest edition of the '36 would be great, but any will work. I am also looking for just the Hemi Engine from the '32 Roadster. I have a Yellow molded Lindberg (AMT) 1934 Ford Pick up, and some other kits to trade. Thanks, Alan.

I agree with all you have said! I'd be up first for a Re-pop. "If Round 2 does bring it back: - they should open up all of the gates and see what’s there (of course they will!). The wagon parts would be really, really great to have, if they are still there. -they should shoot it in white plastic. -they should create new decals: at least one factory body side stripe option, but a comprehensive sheet with black, white, and the yellow/red fade style would be fantastic. The new decals they have been including in their kits have been a real motivator for me to buy some of the kits that I already have." I'd add, that it would be a great call back to the Original 1980's kit if they would include both the Clear and Smoked Glass..and 2 sets of tires.
