Great Build! You answered my question about the tires, too.

Tim, will we get 'First Looks" of these kits on your Fotki Pages? If any recent kits deserved, the Full Detail, Up Close Looks you provide, these kits are Number 1 on that list. I hope to see them there someday. Cheers, Alan

Sigh.... You are so correct. Mea Culpa

Re: HPI Guy's Video. Steve G and Round2.... After watching the video, I am even more impressed with this kit! The engineering on the Hood, and Bed is especially clever. The Cab, Bed and Hood, are all crisp & sharp, with just the right mix of Modren Engineering Prowess in Tooling, and the Nostalgic Feel & Look of a 50 (almost 60) year old kit. The more I see of this kit, the better it looks. And it would appear that the companion '63 Kit is just as good, with a differing set of parts and options, executed in a similar style. My Original intent was to combine the Camper & Trailer on one truck as a Salt Flat Racer Support Unit, given that there are so many extra parts in each kit. I can see now that I will need more than just one of each kit. So far 2024 is the year of the Pick Up. The Dodge Warlock 4x4, This Pair of Fords, the rumored 68-72 Chevys, the rumored Powell Pick up, and who knows what else. It looks to be a great year for the Pick Up builder. I cannot wait to see detailed builds of these Fords, and the Dodge. Thank You, Round2. Your efforts are much appreciated, and I hope the sales of these kits exceed all expectations!

What a great looking stock "T". A friend of my Dad's in the Horseless Carriage Club, had one on that exact Colour and Style. I got to ride in it a few times. Thanks for bringing back the memories Good Show!

Sweet Build! That is a Great CJ-5! Good Show!

Neat! All Three together! The Glass Smooth paint on the truck is just Awesome! Good Show!

Man, I love me Some Landy's! Fantastic Build! Good Show.

Great Looking build! I have a set of Monogram CJ-7 Wheels for use on my J-10 kit. Good Show!

A Sharp, yet Subtle Build of a kit that seems to have already disappeared. You seldom see many built. The Colour Choice is outstanding. Good Show!

Very Nice pair O' Jeeps, Chuck. I had a 304 V-8 in my '79 CJ-5. Good Show!

Andy says it for me. Good Show!

Super Nice Build. Sorry to read about the assembly troubles. I have a pair of these kits waiting to be built. Your build helps give me things to look out for. Good Show!

What an Awesome display of the Model Builders craft! All the scratch built parts as well as the great care in assembly! Just "Wow"! Good Show.

Nice Work. The weathering is very well done. Looks like they just washed it, before heading out to the strip. Good Show.

1981. That is the year I graduated High School. Your truck really triggered some great memories. Beautiful Build. I like the Blue you chose. Good Show.

Very Nice Build. You nailed the 'Work Truck' vibe, with this kit. I especially like the little extras from the other kit. It gives it some life, and a 'lived-in' look. Good Show!

Cool Build. I like the colour. Good Show!

Outstanding Builds! The comparison between the two is great. You really nailed the build both times. It is great to see that your original build survived all this time. Good Show!

What a neat Build! A truck that most people would never see or model. You did a great job on this one. Good Show!

Wow! What a great build. The weathering is superb, and it has the 'Look' that a real truck has. Good Show!

Awesome Build, and great detail on the chassis! I really like the detail on this build. Clever how you solved the interference problems on the tilt cab. I must say, that to my eyes, the real truck has a grotesque, almost Japanese Samurai look to the whole front of the cab. Striking, but not very good looking. But, that is Mercedes' fault, not yours. Good Show!

Super Sharp Build! I love the tinted headlights. Good Show!

Want!!!!
