Man, I want one of those Plymouth Savoys. I'm sure the only resin kit of that body style came from the now defunct Modelhaus....... Maybe I'll see one at a swap meet someday.

1. Sow's Ear to Silk Purse! 2. Gil Costa, as soon as you complete your build, Revell will announce a new tool kit. The world waits for you.
-
A great Build! Unusual subject matter, well executed.
-
I saw an article about these racers in a 1-1 car magazine and wondered when I see one modeled. Your's is superb! I like the vibe. Looks like it is ready for a cover photo.
-
Where'd you get the shrink ray? Awesome, looks like what you'd see at a car show in Los Angeles.
-
Wow! A winner for sure! Alan Alexis

Can't sleep either, 'eh, Delton? I agree with what you say.

Got the last Aero Chief Fire Truck and the last Revell (ex-Monogram) Sherman Tank. Nothing left at the Bakersfield H.L. I noticed that the stuff went real fast.
-
It would be really nice to have the scoop back. I need a couple of these. I've got plenty of the coupes and SD's but only one sedan. Looking forward to this. Any Idea when it is supposed to hit the shelves?

Peterbilt 353 Off-Road Dumper

Just a Great Build! Leaves me speechless. -
That's a real disappointment. Not sure who greenlit this product, or who thought it would sell. Would have been nice if they had asked some of us if we'd buy it, before they produced it. Saves me some money though to spend on something else. What hurts me most is that if this set is a flop, it will be used as ammunition in the never-ending "but Parts Packs don't sell" Wars.
-
Oh, I'll wind up with at least a pair of them. One to build Bone Stock and the other to play with.
-
My only regret was not getting the Dodge Ramcharger. Other than that I'm good. I will be getting an AeroChief though. I can use that.
-
Are we ever going to get the Revell 30 model A back?

Dave B, I thought I was the only that watched that show any more. Thank Goodness for HULU! -
Thanks for the tipoff. Got a '57 Ford Gasser wagon, just for parts. Missed getting the Dodge Ramcharger though. Waited to long too get one. Well, there is always the secondary market.
-
Hmmm, Funny you should have a problem with that. Taillight panel on mine just snapped in place. Mine is the Pink Poison plastic, so maybe the newer kit has issues?
-
Any grooves on the tires, or are they smooth donuts?
-
Ditto, That! Rob. There are a bunch of things they could do for this kit. And, they already do the snowplow.
-
Luc, the two bits I read about mention widening the CJ hood, and narrowing the Jeepster hood. Not sure which would be best.
-
Other than the 'High Roller" suspension and wheels, and the added back gun rack, it IS the Plow kit. Right down to the silly '57 Chevy style F.I. unit. After viewing Chris's excellent video review, I'll pass on this one. Luc, you and I are 180 degrees apart one our view on the boxart on this kit. I think it is even worse than the horrible art on the '76 Torino. Glad someone likes it.
-
CJ-5 hood is too narrow.
-
Time for a re-post of the "How-To" for backdating to the older style nose. The Inner Fenders and the older grill are in the kit. Not quite sure how to pull it off though. Maybe someone will resin cast the hood. It Looks to be the biggest issue with the conversion.
-
Yes, all the stock parts are there too. It is a great kit.
-
That Order Sheet is a terrific resource, Erik! Notice how clear it is about "Rear Fender Flares". Nothing about any Front Flares mentioned. That will be invaluable to build a factory correct Baja Bronco.
-
Note too, the the '71 Bronco in the photo, has the stock air cleaner, not the chromed pie pan that is in the Baja Bronco kit. Going to be some very interesting kit bashes in the next few months. Too bad the Bronco in "Romancing the Stone" is an '84. Be neat to build a replica of the "Little Mule".
