    I have this kit. It is neat.

    Mike, thank you for the comprehensive write up on this kit. I've never liked Range Rovers, preferring the Old School looks of the "Real" Land Rover, but you work has me changing my opinions. Maybe you could do the same for the ESCI Toyota FJ Landcruisers? (hint,hint)

    Awesome Build! You did a great job on it.

    The Road Boss, and Diamond Reo all share the Same Cab. (I think?) Anyhow I have the Reo, and I have a question about the cab. As shown in the linked instructions, there are two pieces called "Lower Cab Sections" that glue to the bottom of the cab. http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/big-rigs-trailers--/amt-white-road-boss/whiteroadboss09.html#media Do I need to use some small tabs in order to get this to fit securely? The Butt Joint looks really flimsy, especially when stuffing the glass, and the interior up into the cab. I'm stuck on my build trying to figure this out. If anybody has any experience with this, I'd sure like to know! Thanks, Alan

    Mark, Casey, I suspect you are both correct. It will sell well. Just not to me LOL

    The Decals and the box art do nothing for me. I know how bad the kit is now, and don't need one. I just had the thought, however, that Round2 might up the ante some more by including tinted glass, and a huge decal sheet with items from some of the other versions, this tooling has seen over the years. There hve to be older boxings than the "Old Pro" boxing, right?

    Second the Motion on the Autocar Trump Duck. I have the kit, mint in box, but I'm afraid to tackle it just yet. I think I'll ruin something, and never be able to get another, (that I can afford). I have a sealed Paystar Mixer as well.

    Even throwing in a set of Pad Printed tires, and another "All New" decal sheet won't help this old kit. As Snake says, the fit on this kit is now awful. Without a whole bunch of re-tooling, I won't be getting one. Besides, wasn't this just out about 4 or 5 years ago, as part of the Silver Screen series, as Axel Foley's car from Beverly Hills Cop?

    Try the Black car then. Two distinctly different Diff. covers. Axle is the same in both cars, diff covers are different.

    Try the 66 Malibu SS Kit. The Diff Cover is different frm the Rat kit.

    How is this coming? The Thomas is my favorite Brass Era car.

    Wow! Great Build, of a rare kit. You did it justice.
  13. stavanzer
    That, Sir, is not a Hillbilly Targa. That is a Formal Open Touring Sedan!

    Jason, PM me. I'll be at the Reunion. It would be a please to chat.
  15. stavanzer
    Chuck. Yes you are. Every time I see a set on the 'Bay, they go for Crazy $$$, by themselves. It was easier to just buy the +*&*#! kit.

    You and your young client have great taste! That Maroon Elky with the Baby Moons and W/Whites is very sharp. Your in-progress shots show very detailed work as well. I'll be watching.
  17. stavanzer
    OK, Tom, How about I save up and we'll buy a pair of the Old Monogram Land Rovers, at current market prices. That Should get Atlantis Models to see if that tool is in the collection of molds they just purchased from R/M, LOL.

    Curtiss RC3 Air Racer. 1/48 scale Hawk kit. One of a set of six IIRC. Strangely, one is in the Porco Rosso animated film.
  19. stavanzer
    Triple Wow! What a great build.
  20. stavanzer
    I can't show you mine, but they VERY nice. About 5 different, clever Gasser Names and a boatload of sponsor decals.

    A link for those of you who want to do a little converting on your Monaco. http://magister-plasticum.com/ Down on the bottom of the page. Grills and headlights.

    Monogram BadMan Chevy is a great donor kit in 1/24 scale.
  23. stavanzer
    Does anybody still make a Longbed, Stepside conversion for this kit? I need one.

    No Pics, But I'm one year in on a 2017 Kia Sorrento. Traded a 2015 Hyundai Elantra for it. Just rolled over 10,000 miles. The Elantra was the first new car I've owned. I loved it. This Kia is even better! Much more room. I had thought I wanted a small, efficient , Four Door Sedan. Within six months, I knew I had made a mistake. The Elantra, while great, was just too small. I'm 6'1", 315 lbs, and I had to put the car on rather than get into it. The Kia has solved those problems. It will be SUVs for me, from now on. No more cars.

    Sign me up for a pair of 'em. Neat Trucks, Neat Kits.
