Revell is going to release the Captain Hook, Snap Wrecker sometime this year. That Wrecker Bed should swap onto the Ford Kit with minimal issues.

Craig, there is a Pic of the Decals on page One, and HPI Guy's Video showing all the Parts on Page Three, You'll need to scroll down a little bit to find the listings.. That should show all that you wanted to see.

Great to see this Built! You did a wonderful job on the kit. Good Show.

Wow! I'm Gobsmacked! Words Fail me! You are an outstanding Craftsman!

It surely is because you ordered a replacement. Always happens that way for me, at least.

Here is a Link to Ron's Tires/Wheels. He has many, many options and almost all are for Circle Track cars, both Slicks & Treaded. Excellent Detail, great selection and fast, trustworthy service. I've dealt with Ron 2-3 times now. He is just awesome to deal with. https://roncoon.com/wheels-tires-2/

I agree with on that count Chuck. The box are is very poor. The Guy in the Marketing Dept who approved that Art should be docked a months Pay. Not only is it a bad angle, but it looks A.I. generated and Cheap.... The Decals are First Class though.

Redneck Cadillac, Farm Truck, Carolina Squat Truck or a Pull Truck. Scrap the Bed, make a Flatbed, or a Tanker, or a Tow Truck. You could probably Swap the cab out for a Revell Snap Kit Chevy and have a Hybrid Chevy / Ford Mash up. Paint the Kit in USAF 'Strata Blue' and you'd have something similar to the strange Trucks the USAF uses on foreign airbases.

Extra Body for your next Street Rod.

Found Out Yesterday that one of my oldest Friends had passed away 3 weeks ago. We have known each other for 45 years. We don't talk as often as we used to. I was caught totally off guard, by the news. Still processing it. He was a Model Builder, and Vietnam Vet. Only 73 Years Old. He built 1/35 Scale Tanks, and 1/32 Airplanes. He dabbled with Sports cars too. I know he had talked about owning and someday build the Revell Nissan (Datsun) 510, racer, and the Revell Porsche 904. I'll miss him!

I loved him in Real Genius! One of my top 5 favorite movies. I have it on DVD, to watch when I get the urge.

That's what You Think! I'll bet the Softball team gets Carl's Jr. tonight.

A Swing & A Miss , for me. The Herbie is very nice, but without the optional VW parts that I know are in the tooling it's not worth buying, even a the Hobby Lobby 40% off. And that is provided I ever see those kits at H.L. I know the Disney Lic probably plays a part in it being a Single Option kit, but I am not willing to spend my money on single build option kits any more. The Green Hornet was the last one of those. I'll hold out for what is behind Door #2, Next Quarter.

Just got my Trade , from Khils! Excellent Trading Partner! Trade with Confidence. Thank You. Kevin.

Only If the Wives Build Models, Too!

It does!

Since my interest is in that era of cars, (I build 1908-1965) those kits are indeed trade fodder for modelers like me. NIce to be able to offer up a kit like that when somebody posts a kit you want. I've even paid shipping from Canada to California for a couple of trades years ago.

Neat Car! That's how a '57 Chevy should look. More Ponies under the hood, and Mags! Good Show!

What a great melding of two wildly different cars! The Colour is Spot On, and the craftsmanship is awesome! Good Show.

Embrace the Healing Power of "And"

He does very neat videos, but his research is not always trustworthy. He is prone to repeating Errors from the Internet, without doing more in depth checking. But, they ARE fun to watch.

I find Estate Sales to be good hunting places, but more for Tools, than model kits. But as others have said, it is a Hit or Miss thing. I'll go to a half dozen Estate Sales, and see nothing, and then I get a hit. That said, When I have found kits it's usually a whole bunch, of really old kits, or One or Two kits. There seems to be no in between. And, in North America, the single most common kit found at Garage Sales or others, is the 1990's Revell 1/72 SR-71 kit. I have passed over a couple of dozen of those.

Notice the extreme tread on the right side tire, and the almost flat, torn tire on the left side. The left tire could be the original from 1911.

This about correct. The New headlights have replaceable bulbs, but the question of "HOW" do you replace the bulb, and "CAN" you replace the bulb, no longer have good answers. Very few things are "Owner serviceable" any more, and we are moving closer to sealed hoods, and factory service being your "Only" options. Which begs the Question. Who really owns your car? You or the Manufacturer? Cars eventually will be another subscription service, a model that has already been rolled out on some High End Cars. (Mercedes, BMW, Audi) Aka: Monthly subscription for Seat Heaters!!!

Rained last night, heating back up now, warmer tomorrow. Mid to Hi 70's (F)
