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.

I've been shopping for my own and the families groceries for almost 40 Years. 10 Years as a Bachelor, and 30 Married. There is really nothing to it. Follow the list, and make substitutions based on Pricing, Sales, & What's available. Those "Deer/Headlights" guys are like that because their wives do not want groceries, they want "Exactly what they want", and there is also a control issue. This over-pickyness is running rampant, nowadays, and I'm afraid there is no cure for it. The Whole Shopping Dynamic, is pictured perfectly in the movie, "Christmas with the Kranks".

I know there has been an uptick in interest in the 1960-61 Plymouth cars. Since My Grandfather had a station wagon, I have fond memories of riding in it. Here is a video with more about the 1961 cars.

The 1960 Pickup decal sheet has some Gulf Logos. I'd Recommend the decals from the most recent boxing of the AMT 1934 Ford Pickup with it's variety of Sunoco Logo and door cards, as well.

And now you have the Lithium Battery Storage Facility (the So Called "Power Plant"..) on fire in Moss Landing, up near Richmond CA , near the Bay Area. The Batteries supposedly re-lit back on fire after being put out this morning. More Fire in Cali.

Another day in Bakersfield California, that was approaching 70 Deg.Clear Blue Sky, and driving around in the car, I had to turn on the A/C. Glad there will be no snow here.

This where I am now. And HL is not getting many new kits at all.

As close as I could find. https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/0/1/5/177015-47-instructions.pdf https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/7/8/7/1310787-61-instructions.pdf

Have any Photos, or a Pic of the Box top? We need to know exactly what you have got before anyone can make a decision. Thanks.

This is Great News! Not just because they will be re-issued, but because that means the tooling will not fade into oblivion. Glad to see them in their new home.

Your Brake system is just Jaw Dropping! Amazing scratchbuilding.

I could really get into a CUCV too.

Ah, Alaska...

I have the Yellow Box kit. I may get the Mach Won, to do just such a bash. Thanks, Bob!

Charles Estes who owns Texas3D Customs is a member here, and so is Joseph who owns Fireball. I've not seen a post from Joseph in sometime, but he is a member. Buy with Confidence.

What a great Combo Build! Really sharp updates to already nice builds. Good Show.

Great Save! Awesome Wintering. Good Show.

The first Truck, got the AMT White Road Boss Tractor in 1977-78. Orange cab and sleeper, black chassis, green engine. I still have the sleeper in my stash. It got painted, but never built. The rest of it has disappeared.

Well, here are the directions. After Looking at them, it looks like Brian is correct. Spoiler looks to be just flat plastic, The parachute could come off of any Funny car. Good luck making/finding the parts. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/mpc-instructions/straightline-competition/mpc-nitro-bird-pont/?view=roll#1

David, that's great lick that you weren't hurt any worse. Take it real easy for the next couple days. I'm very glad you're okay now.

Those wheels look superb! This whole car will be a Masterpiece when done.
