Well, the snow PLOW is a separate set of self contained sprues in the '77 GMC kit. Even bagged by themselves, so in theory at least, could be added to any kit. I've not seen the Arctic Cat snow MOBILE, but I suspect that it is a small set of sprues also. Therefore, Revell could drop either or both sets into to any pickup kit in order to add "flavour" so to speak, and call it a "new" kit. I am all in favour of this kind of thing. These smaller extras are getting hard to find, and throwing them into a kit guarantees a sale to me. I would not mine seeing the long lost Camper Shell and roof mounted driving lights come back either.

Argh! I know all about Different Strokes and all that, but that is one Butt Ugly Car now! Not Quite a Rat, but Not finished either. I'll be glad when this Fad passes.

Oh Boy! Some nice kits coming. I can't wait to see pics!

It was still listed at Revell.com last month. You may have to try getting it from them.

Since the engine is a Big Block Chevy 'Rat' motor, I suspect that any BB Valve Cover will work. As always though, test fit everything.

I'm with you Nick. Nobody but me ever looks underneath anyways.

My local HL has sold out now on the Bronco and the Foose '56. I am assured by the clerk stocking the aisle that they will be getting. She told me that they have sold out every Bronco they get within a week, and have to keep re-ordering more. So, next time I see one, I'll snag it. Same with the Suburban when I see it.

Que the Screeching! According to the Revell listing for the Eldorod, it will have the "Dreaded" Solid Wire axles. Let the shrieking and pearl clutching begin. I'm ready to buy two of these now. I want one that bad.

How soon before the first Resin Hardtop body hits the market? I'm betting it will be not long after Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the Photos. Still no 'Cadillac' script valve covers, but I like it anyway. I'll need at least two of these.

Has anybody seem any preview photos of the parts in this kit? I've seen the box art, but I'm hungry to know what is inside.

Man, I'm sold on this one! A Must Have from Revell. Now if we can just get a 4x4 for this series of kits, we'll even more blessed.

Do all the Revell '64-'66 Pick Ups, use the same grille? It is part # 71 in both the '65 kit and the Suburban. I wonder if the '64 is the same. Alan.

Thanks, for the Photos. Looks like about 90% Chevy Pickup. And that's OK, by me. I'll have one of these soon my self.

The ghost of Everett "Box Man" Westphal strikes again.

Build It! Build it! Go Team Cobra. Sweet Review, Chris.

That sounds good. Waiting on Pics.

IDK, I think it would look sharp with a Blue Gumball and some Polezi decals.

Lindberg did a 1/32 Snapper back in the late 70's. I remember seeing it on the shelf. Never Bought one.

I'm wondering if Ollie's stock the Datsun Monster Tow truck. I need one now for parts.

Day late and a dollar short. That's me. Just saw this thread. Does anybody know if the Soft Top from the Revell Snap Rubicon will fit on the 2003 Rubicon that is the subject of this thread? The kits look close, but I'm not sure. I may just have to spring the bucks and buy both.

It's been two years. Any updates? I'd still like the TTT and Phone booth.

LHS has the RX-7, I had to mail order the Opel GT. Good Luck.

Went to my HL today and got my Day made! Got the Fink Speedwagon for $8.99 (wonder about the 50 cent difference) and got the Amt/Round2 Klingon Bird of Prey for $10.72. Under 22 bucks and 2 new kits. I've been wanting the Bird for some time, but it was too pricey to get. Doing the Happy Dance today though. They had a stack of the Speedwagons. I wonder if that kit has been a slow seller every where, or just around here?

I'm waiting for this kit, to make to Hobby Lobby. I need one to go with my Opel GT, and Mazda RX-7. Will make a great set of Road Burners.
