That's the First Thing I saw too. So the '85 Blazer morphs into an '85 Jimmy. I wonder what accessories the Jimmy will have? The '73 Mustang, is another easy lay-up choice.

The '34 Wire Rims are very small compared to the '29 Rims.

Fantastic Builds, Sir!

Just Awesome! What a Roadster.

Revell, makes a '30-'31 Model A Woody that has Stock Wire Wheels, but they are the wrong year, and look a bit different than the '29 Wheels. AMT/Round2 has the evergreen'29 Roadster, that has Stock Wires. The MPC/Round2 '29 Woodie/Roadster Pickup has a set of Stock Wires also, but they don't look as good as the Revell or AMT wheels in my opinion. Those are the easiest to find options I can think of right now. Others may know more or have better ideas than I do. Hope this Helps. Alan

Thank You, James for correcting my memory. I thought there had been a Stock kit. I was wrong. I'm glad your memory is better than mine.

Adam is correct. No, BTTF, no DeLorean. It would not have even been kitted, I'd wager. But now there are at least 7 or 8 versions of the kit. The Older ones from the 1990's, and these new ones. I get 8 versions this way: 1. Old Stock 2. Old BTTF #1. 3. Old BTTF #2 4. Old BTTF #3 5-8 are the same Four versions of the new tooling. I will admit, my math be be incorrect.

May I suggest Pearl Grey, with Red Upholstery and Trim? There were a lot of grey racing cars, and road cars back then. I think the Grey/Red looks understated yet classy.

Kenworth Canepa T-600 was marketed with some race trailers, back then.

The Dark Blue thing, behind the radiator, directly under the Bright Red bracket?

Our Rottweiler normally barks at the Drivers who drop stuff off at our doorstep. But, not always. And you are correct, Nobody knocks anymore! As you said, it's just "drop off and go". What a way to run a Railroad....

The Instructions. Not as bad as I remembered, but not great either. the Chassis and Engine Bay are the worst bits. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/chrysler/amt-2005-chrysler-3/?view=roll#1

I just hope Round2 Has fixed to totally Horrible Instructions. They were First Gen CAD drawings and had confusing forests of straight lines leading to the undersides of wheelwells and other errors. They were just hard to follow.

I have one of these started. Seeing your great build, makes me want to finish mine. It is all painted, it just needs to have final assembly done. Really Great work on yours! Good Show.

Here is a recent Build from Modeling Madness that has an all Aluminium finish. https://modelingmadness.com/review/allies/gb/others/camly.htm

Man, What a Great Job you are doing! P.S. How is the new Baby?

Man, Gerry, your skills are really making a Silk Purse out of this kit. Awesome work so far.

I use a very pale gray on mine. If you look at an Air Filter from even a few feet away, most of them look grey not white.

Looks Great, Ron! Never enough Old Trucks built. Good Show.

It's a Print.

Awesome Paint Job! Very 1970's. Excellent Build. Good Show.

Yep, this is how I feel too. I'll be getting one.

And, that should be enough for most Modelers. And there is 3D printing and Resin for those who want more. Also, doesn't this kit come with 2 or 3 grille options?

Awesome Build! I love the Mercer and it's Stutz Bearcat Rival. Excellent Build!

IIRC, the Prostar and it's Cousin did not sell up to Moebius's expectations. So, that might be why any company is hesitant to spend tooling dollars on a new truck kit. Coupled with the near incessant griping from the Model Truck community about the choice of truck kit that was tooled. From reading Truck Modeler's comments on various Forums over the years, I suspect that just getting a list down to just two choices, is well nigh impossible. Given a list of Five Choices, I doubt any kit would be able to must more than 25% of the Vote. So, Just choosing a Subject is going to lead to lots of heat and smoke, and maybe even a bit of fire. No wonder nobody want to tackle it. Italeri.... They serve a different market with completely different needs. And, there seems to be less heat and more consensus about what to tool up, and how well it sells. My Guess, Un-scientific as it is, is that we will never see a new American Truck kit tooled. Resin or 3D printing are going to be the only way forward from now on.
