Great Trade with OLDCARFAN! (aka Gary Brooks) Will trade with again!

I am worried about the tires Atlantis will use in this kit. I have not liked the new tires they have tooled up for these older Revell kits. The Dimensions, and Sidewall to Tread ratios are off, and lead to tires that are too wide looking and have funky proportions. Truthfully, HPIguy's review of the kit, and photos of tires will be the deciding factor on whether I get one. I want the kit, but don't want to have to buy extra tires, just to build it...... TLDR: Atlantis new tires are no good.

That's a nice kit. 1/48 scale is just about the right size. Have fun with it.

Want! That is just so Over-the-Top! I'd have that in my garage in a hot second!

Amen! Lousy Choice of Wheels.

What a creative mix. The way you have built it, it looks factory stock. The two cars styles blend easily. Good Show,

Great Work so Far. You are doing the Pig's Ear/Silk Purse thing!

Glad to have you aboard, Anthony. That Merc is beautiful!

Great Build. My Dad had a 1961 1/2 Ton Long bed. Yours looks like a real workhorse. Good Show.

AS of now, all four kits have been given to my Daughter-in-Law. She Loved Them. All have been built, and she and my Son are painting them now. They turned ou to be the Perfect Gift!

Here is the MPC Chevy Flip Nose. The Blue Glass will be nice to have, and the decals should be neat. I expect the Plastic to be identical to what is show in this review. BTW, the Chassis and engine in this kit are exactly the same as the MPC Flip Nose '53 Ford Pickup. MPC getting double use of of the same tooling.

Cybermodeler has really gotten less reliable as the Publisher, Michael Benolkin has been fighting for his health. He posts updates, but never dates them so it is very hard to know what his exact status is. I wish him well.

Just to play Devil's Advocate, what about companies like Anigrand Craftwerks that has sold thousands of resin kits? They are Mainstream, in the days of 3000 kit runs. It's no wonder IPMS is dying, if the Single Media, Throwback is their defense. They should wise up and change the class to "Throwback Models" (for old pharts who can't handle new things....) Sarc.

Thanks, Bob. As you say, it will get here, when it gets here...

Looking Real Good!

So to refer to another thread about Contest Judging and Categories.... Is this a Box Stock kit, or Not? And If not, Why not? Everything is in the Box. There are no decals, but that can be true of many other Box Stock kits. Armour and Aircraft Modelers, have been building all resin kits since the 1980's. That's 40 years, of Box Stock, All Resin kits. Maybe Hobby as a whole needs to seriously think about "what constitutes what", in relation to kits, aftermarket parts, and Where the Line is..... Sorry to derail the thread.

The well known "Swiss Cheese model" of Accident Investigation. Juan Browne aka "Blancoliro" , and Years of watching "Mayday-Air Disaster" have Taught me about it. When all the holes line up... There's your accident. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_cheese_model

I hear you, Michael, but the City may not be able to get one. Some of those Transformers are essentially Handmade, Custom pieces. They may be waiting on one they ordered, and are just as anxious as you are to install a new unit rather than patch up the old one. Of Course, the city may also be idiots....

I fact, the link in Matthew's Post above works for Mike's Decals. I just tried it. I do miss Big Donkey.

That engine mount looks very clean. I am surprised how you have gotten the body to fit. It looks reat now. Where did you get the Wheels? I'd like to get a set of 'em.... Thanks.

Now, I want one of these tools. I'll have ask Santa for one.

Fantastic Build. I really Like the colour! Good Show.

Sharp Looking Rig. I'd have sworn it was the real thing! I like the details on the Headache Rack. Good Show.

Wow! David, that is an Awesome Build,of that kit. You craftsmanship and care show in every detail! Good Show.

I like the look of the Fairlane, and this one is special! Perfect Paint and Finish. Good Show.
