All it needs now is a Fire Chief! Outstanding build.

I really like where this is going. Keep up the great work.

But, where's the Balloon? (sorry, could not resist)

Man, it looks great. I don't normally like stock builds, but this one is sharp. I hope my own build of this kit, comes out looking as good as yours did.

Mitch, That is an Outstanding Build! It that PE in the hood vents? I really like the colours. Got any more pics of the build? It has the correct Vintage Racer vibe, nailed. Alan

I'll try to show the pic. http://www.modelroundup.com/product-p/amt-38155.htm Alan

Beautiful Build. The colour rocks!

I looked and did not see anything. I need to look again.

I've been looking for an 80's-90's style Pro Stock Hood Scoop to use on my 1980 Volare Build. I want something that looks like the scoop in the Dodge Dart Sport kit.(the car with the purple box art from 2004) I've looked at a couple resin caster sites, and I see nothing that I like. Anybody got any suggestions on who might sell one? I know I've seen it in somebodies catalog, I just can't seem to find it, now that I want to order one. I'll even buy one from eBay if I have to. TIA, Alan

Looks Great from where I sit!

Well, I have this kit now. Only real Gripes? 1.Only 7 Plastic Injector Stacks on the Chrome tree. Confirmed this with a couple other buyers who had opened the kit. Odd, to say the least. While cleaning up the chrome tree, you would think somebody would have counted them. Of Course, maybe they did. That may be another reason we get the 'upgrade' turned metal stacks. Either way, not a deal breaker. 2. Tires are a big let down to me. The "Big" tires for the rear look lame to me, and at this price could we have 'please' gotten some of the Tampo Printed RWL tires that are in other kits? A 1975 Model car would seem to be prime White Letter Tire territory. I'd have liked to have a better choice of 'stock' or 'race' tires for a kit that brags about wheel/tires options being so plentiful. The amusing little luggage rack is great! The build options look good. Some odd little bits and pieces hiding on the sprues as others have stated. Moving higher on my "To Build" pile.

Scott, you are sick, or alone. I'm now planning on buying the Gremlin kit, just to rob the stock rims from it, for my Pacer Wagon. That will leave me with a Gremlin, and some excess AMC parts. I wonder how the Gremlin will look with the Pacer baby moon wheels?

Thanks, Scott. So the kit right out of the Box should make a fine Tow Vehicle. Esp since it will have a 283 in it. Now to get a trailer. Well, I've got plenty of time.

Would the 1/2 ton Suburban in this kit, be an adequate tow vehicle for a race car on a trailer? I'm looking at building one for that purpose, but wonder if it is too small/short/light to do the job. Thanks,

Way to go Casey!

I stopped by Hobby Lobby last night to see if the had the '30. No Luck. They did have the '29. My H.L. has not gotten the Pacer Wagon or the Squad Rod yet. Hopefully by Christmas. I may try the LHS for the '30, but I've got one already, and can wait until there are more.

The '50 Vert has a much nicer set of optional custom taillight setups.. The Hopped up Flattie from the '50 will drop right into the '49 as well. I have both kits, and have to say that cross kitting will yield some great builds.

So, I wonder what will fill in that missing corner on the Chrome Tree? It's there for a reason.... Looks like I'll be heading off the Fireball Model Werks for Wheels/Tires when I build mine. Those bulky, Cheesy off road tyres are just offputting to me. No Thanks, Revell. Try again on the next version of this kit. The rest of the kit looks killer. Just need some Forest Service Decals and that odd 1970's Govt Green paint that you saw on all F/S trucks.

Dang, that's a Beautiful Thomas Flyer. Dean Milano made the Stutz/Thomas conversion, many many years ago, in an issue of SAE.

Not going to worry at all about this until Revell officially says something about it. And in today's world, sooner or later, they will have to address this rumor one way or another. Until then, It's just so internet rumormongering.

Well, looks like after hitting a number of Home Runs in last quarter 2016, Round2 has given over the Modeling budget to Revell in First quarter 2017. Nothing on that Round2 list engenders any excitement at all in me. But, that's OK. I've been spending a lot more than planned this year on Round2 kits, so it will all even out later.

Seeing this kit, started me looking for them. Wow! They sure fetch good money over there on the auction site. Maybe time for the guys at Round2 to look over the tool (s) for this series of kits and see what can be squeezed out. Given the huge variety of options to the same basic tool (especially in the early 1980's) a kit that featured some assortment of Fender Flares, Snow Plow Spoilers and intake options would sell to both new buyers and folks restoring these kits. Hopefully the Volare, Duster, and Nova kits have sold well enough to make this a potential future kit. Alan

Yes, I agree with you. The Suburban will make a better tow vehicle than the Bronco, and the Bronco does have a hitch.

Man, I did not think to try a wheel swap like that. I don't have a Rat Roaster, but I do have both the '29 and '30 kits. Time to go play with tires. Thanks Casey

Hmmm.... I like the look of this. Another kit for the Some Day List.
